Orphan Rocker, Steel roller coaster at Scenic World in Katoomba, New South Wales, Australia.
The Orphan Rocker stretches 2,755 feet in length, incorporating steep turns along a natural cliff edge in the Blue Mountains terrain.
Construction of this Australian-engineered roller coaster began in 1988, marking the first locally designed coaster in the country's history.
The roller coaster gained national attention when it appeared on the television show Just for the Record in the early 1990s.
The roller coaster remains closed to the public due to technical challenges and insurance requirements mandated by local authorities.
During test runs, the coaster's track includes a section built on the edge of a 700-foot cliff, featuring a steep U-turn.
