Performance

Vs. other coasters at Cotaland

Circuit Breaker is super smooth, has some great inversions with a nice hang time moment.

This is circuit breaker, a vekoma pitfall tilt coaster, this ride is really fun, butter smooth, packed with lots of inversions and a nice first drop, the only issue is the length which makes sense, as...

I also very much enjoyed the typical Vekoma smoothness of this wrong.

Anthony Ray

There isn’t much airtime though which I was a little disappointed about, but don’t think I’ve been on a smoother coaster!

My first time on one of the new school vakomas and this thing is incredibly smooth.

The back row has the added fun of being lifted high into the air and gives you a bit more intensity throughout.

Circuit Breaker’s elements actually have a punch to them, with wonderful hangtime and a few great airtime pops.

Anthony Ray

This leads into a very forceful turn that noticeably has stronger positive Gs than the entire rest of the ride.

This is circuit breaker, a vekoma pitfall tilt coaster, this ride is really fun, butter smooth, packed with lots of inversions and a nice first drop, the only issue is the length which makes sense, as it is a smaller model then their cliffhanger model or gravity max/iron rattler.

Isaiah Cartaya, Captain Coaster review

As soon as I heard that music, I knew this was going to be my favorite coaster in the state.
