A-Z Coaster of the Week: OzIris

The A-Z Coaster of the Week is OzIris, the last B&M inverted roller coaster to open (before Banshee does later this week).  OzIris debuted at Parc Asteriz (located in France) in 2012 and features five inversions including two zero-g rolls, overbanked turns, tunnels and trenches. The blue and yellow color scheme along with the Egyptian theming invokes images of Montu at Busch Gardens  Tampa (not a bad thing).

The 114 foot tall lift hill is immediately followed by a diving left hand drop. Other highlights include an underwater tunnel, dive loop, and no mid-course brake run. It’s one of B&M’s most unique inverted coaster designs.

Be honest, how many of you thought it was going to be Outlaw Run this week? Stay tuned for the “P” coaster next week!
