Green Lantern Coaster, Steel roller coaster at Warner Bros Movie World in Gold Coast, Australia
Green Lantern Coaster is a steel roller coaster at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast, Queensland. The S&S Worldwide El Loco ride has bright green track on black supports, a tall lift hill, large loops and helices, and a 120.5° first drop. Its seven eight-seat trains carry speakers in the headrests and a pulsing LED Green Lantern logo on the front of each car.
Groundwork on the site began in May 2011, and track pieces from S&S Worldwide appeared in the car park that September. Warner Bros. Movie World announced the ride on 17 September 2011, tested it from 28 November, soft-opened it on 16 December and held the official opening on 23 December 2011. Its first drop was measured at 120.5 degrees.
The queue passes billboards telling the Green Lantern story, then a courtyard with 2D villain cutouts and a 3D model of the hero. Each car carries a pulsing LED Green Lantern logo at the front and the Green Lantern oath on its back. The theming was made by Sculpt Studios.
The queue starts beside the DC Super Heroes Store, opposite Batwing Spaceshot, and runs along the park's original boundary wall past billboards telling the Green Lantern story. Riders then pass a courtyard with 2D villain cutouts and a 3D Green Lantern model before an upward path to the station.
The seven trains double the capacity of a standard El Loco ride, seating eight riders instead of four. Each seat has stereo speakers in the headrest, and the front of every car carries a pulsing LED Green Lantern logo while the back displays the Green Lantern oath.
