The Gauntlet, Steel roller coaster in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
The Gauntlet features five inversions along its 2,260-foot track, reaching speeds of 49.7 mph during its 96-second journey at Magic Springs park.
The roller coaster, initially planned for Jazzland in New Orleans, found its home at Magic Springs where it started operating on April 10, 2004.
The name of this steel roller coaster emerged from a radio contest in 2003, with Jacksonville resident Becky Branch submitting the winning entry.
Visitors between 52 and 79 inches tall can experience the inverted coaster, which operates with trains accommodating twenty riders in ten two-person rows.
The Vekoma-manufactured ride incorporates a modified wheel assembly system that reduces the physical impact on passengers during the five inversions.
