To launch the Castrol EDGE Winternationals – to be held at Willowbank Raceway on June 5-8 - drag racing legends Victor and Ben Bray and friends will prepare for their high-speed pursuits in the best possible way by experiencing the g-forces and incredible 1-100kmh in 2 seconds speed of the Superman Escape at Warner Bros Movieworld on the Gold Coast.
Members of the media are invited to attend to hear words from Willowbank Raceway General Manager Steve Bettes and drag racing legend Victor Bray, before stepping aboard the Superman Escape - recently voted for the second time the number one rollercoaster in the southern hemisphere - for a high octane start to their Thursday morning.
With the incredible take-off and g-forces, those that take a ride in this amazing 760 meter adventure of vertical climbs, weightless drops and g-force turns will have the opportunity to get as close as possible to experiencing what it is like to be behind the wheel of one of the Bray’s Castrol EDGE drag racing machines.
About the Superman Escape:
Experience an exhilarating ride like no other on the planet with the new Superman Escape - an unprecedented thrill rollercoaster where you travel 100km/h in just 2 seconds!
With 760 metres of vertical climbs, weightless drops, head spinning twists and giant G-force turns Superman Escape completely redefines the coaster experience.
The exciting pre-show adventure is an attraction in itself, themed around the world’s most popular Super Hero from DC Comics. Guests will commence their adventure in a Metropolis subway loading dock. As they travel through the subway, a terrifying earthquake takes hold and threatens their safe passage.
To escape the catastrophe, Superman rescues guests by propelling their carriage out then vertically upwards at 100km per hour! What follows is an exhilarating and hair raising rollercoaster ride experience like no other on the planet…
