PRESS RELEASE – July 2005

world record attempt for successive inversions
1st MAURER SkyWheel Competition

Munich/Bad Wörishofen. MAURER Söhne/Munich is organizing a world record attempt involving the highest possible number of inversions, the ”1st MAURER SkyWheel Competition”. On Saturday, 24th September 2005, both individual persons and teams are given the chance to go after the world record. The program will be supported by interesting lectures by experts and fans on roller coaster topics. The SkyWheel at Bad Wörishofen offers excellent conditions for the MAURER SkyWheel Competition. The riders first do the world’s highest inverted roller coaster element on the shortest-possible track section, which is immediately followed by a corkscrew with one more inversion. The station is laid out in a way that a passage is possible at any time. In theory, this way an endless number of loopings is possible.

Wanted: the coolest SkyWheelers

But, there won’t be an endless number of inversions as the world record is achieved with 20 rounds and 40 inversions altogether. The world record attempt is going to be the highlight of the SkyWheel Competition on 24th September at Skyline Park. It will be started with the six coolest individual participants and the coolest team to have qualified at the preceding loopings. The riders’ coolness is determined by means of pulse rate measurement: The lower the difference between initial pulse rate on entering the car and the maximum pulse rate during the SkyWheel ride, the better. Not only the coaster itself makes the passengers’ pulse going faster, but above all the X-Car, the unique roller coaster vehicle allowing upside-down elements without shoulder restraints. All people from the age of 18 who are in good health can participate in the 1st MAURER Sky Wheel Competition. Reservations can be made via e-mail under competition@maurer-soehne.de, where detailed participation guidelines are to be obtained as well. The attendance fee is included in the park entry fee as well as a Bavarian breakfast for all participants. Along with the confirmation of participation, a team information sheet will also be sent: One team consists of 6 people who will be seated in one X-Car. The level of coolness is determined by adding up the pulse rate differences from all team members.

Supporting program for roller coaster fans

Apart from the 1st MAURER SkyWheel Competition, MAURER will be offering a series of interesting lectures for roller coaster fans. Amusement experts are going to supply inside information. Roller coaster fans are given the opportunity to report about extraordinary rides. Fans wishing to present roller coaster topics can announce this by 31st August at competition@maurer-soehne.de. With its 1st MAURER SkyWheel Competition, the roller coaster manufacturer MAURER Söhne demonstrates where the focus must lie on: namely on the riders. Their interest and enthusiasm determines which roller coaster is ultimately successful on the market.
