Ricochet, Steel roller coaster at Carowinds, Charlotte, US
The Ricochet roller coaster extends across 1213 feet of track, reaching heights of 45 feet and maintaining speeds of 28 miles per hour throughout its course.
Manufactured by Mack Rides GmbH, this Wild Mouse roller coaster opened in 2002 as part of Carowinds' expansion of family attractions in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The design reflects a revival of Wild Mouse coasters in American amusement parks during the 1990s, when parks sought alternatives to larger thrill rides.
Each car accommodates four passengers in two rows, processing up to 1120 riders per hour through its chain lift system and multiple switchback turns.
The coaster occupies 144 feet in width and 62 feet in height, featuring sharp turns and sudden drops without inversions in its compact layout.
