Background - Festival Gardens sits on the edge of Lake Julian as an escape for people from the local city with a large number of outdoor activities. In 2022 they have decided to expand with a number of permanent attractions and have purchased three second hand rides, Float - a paratrooper ride, Drop - an Intamin drop tower, and Kick! - a 90s B&M invert.
Design - This project started after being asked to produce an old-school B&M invert in the same style as Raptor at Cedar Point, I tried a few various ideas but ended up really loving this semi-clone layout and it was really fun to capture that power the original inverts have. After a few months trying to perfect the track work, I brought onboard Thomas Codling Design. Thom’s passion for the tiniest details in realism really brought this coaster to life.
The aesthetic of Kick! is very much based the potential I saw in Monster at Walygator Park in France, how can you make a fun and vibrant ride identity on a low budget.

Technique: Smooth flow. Clearly a lot of thought was put into the different elements. They fit well together. Adrenaline: A fast, twisty ride. Doesn't lose too much speed over the mid-course brake run. Decent interaction with the scenery. Uniqueness: Gives me Batman vibes from Six Flags, but not too much to differentiate from that. Maybe the curse of such a realistic coaster. Realism: Could really see this built in real life. the wheel chair lift and separate queue for the front row were especially good touches.
