Vertigo, Suspended roller coaster in Wavre, Belgium

Vertigo was a suspended roller coaster at Walibi Belgium in Wavre, where individual cars hung freely beneath an overhead rail. Riders sat in rows and were carried through twists and turns while the cars swung below the track.

Vertigo was built by Doppelmayr on the site of the former Tornado coaster and was first planned to open in June 2006, but technical problems delayed it. It ran briefly from 14 June 2007 before closing again, and was officially inaugurated on 8 May 2008 by Jean-Claude Van Damme. It shut after ten days when premature wear was found in a gondola, and in October 2008 the park announced its permanent closure and dismantling.

Jean-Claude Van Damme, the Belgian action film star, took part in the reopening ceremony in May 2008. His presence drew considerable attention to the ride, even though it operated for only a very short time after that.

The train held several rows of riders and multiple trains could run on the track at the same time. Since the ride closed permanently, it is no longer accessible to visitors today.

Instead of a standard chain lift, the ride used a vertical elevator to hoist the cars to the top before releasing them onto the track. This was an uncommon way to launch a suspended coaster at the time.
