Glissade, Steel roller coaster in Busch Gardens Williamsburg, United States
Glissade was a steel roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg built without inversions. The ride focused on speed and steep drops that riders experienced throughout the track.
The manufacturer Schwarzkopf designed this coaster in 1975, and it ran in the park until 1985. The company was known for its expertise in building steel coasters without inversions.
The steel coaster contributed to the growing interest in mechanical thrill rides during the expansion of American theme parks in the 1970s.
The absence of inversions made this ride accessible for families seeking moderate thrill experiences. The simpler structure meant less intense strain on the body during the ride.
The Glissade represented Schwarzkopf's engineering capabilities, demonstrating the manufacturer's approach to roller coaster design during the mid-1970s.
