Extreme Engineering opens first Cloud Coaster

BILOXI, Mississippi — Margaritaville Resort is now home to the first cloud coaster. The coaster made its debut on June 30 and features 230 feet of track and a top speed of 20 mph. The combination zip line/suspended roller coaster is the first of its kind. Margarativille is a 373-room waterfront resort that features a 55,000 square-foot indoor family entertainment center with a ropes course, arcade games, volcano climbing wall, boutique bowling and golf simulators. The cloud coaster is attached to the ceiling structure, eliminating the need for vertical supports. Guests are seated in comfortable, cloth seats that are attached zip-line style to the overhead track.

Cloud Coaster is a product of Extreme Engineering of Penryn, California, and Athens, Texas. The company has been supplying rock climbing walls and auto-belay systems for more than 20 years and has grown to include combo climbing walls, air jumpers and ziplines. Last year Extreme Engineering debuted the cloud Coaster with a working, rideable model at the 2015 IAAPA Expo in Orlando.
