Scorpion Express, Steel roller coaster in Chessington World of Adventures, United Kingdom
The Scorpion Express features a figure-eight track layout with brown-colored supports and reaches speeds of 22 miles per hour along its 804-foot course.
Opening in 1987 as Rocky Mountain, the roller coaster received a complete transformation in 2014 with new theming and mechanical updates by Garmendale Engineering.
The ride incorporates elements of mining culture through its themed environment, featuring a metalwork scorpion and radio broadcasts about the fictional Scorpion Valley.
Children must measure at least 90 centimeters to ride with an adult, while those above 110 centimeters can ride independently in the two-person rows.
Each train configuration includes ten cars with capacity for 38 riders, with the front car featuring a special single-row design unlike the other cars.
