Jumbo Jet (Chelyuskintsev Park)

Jumbo Jet is a steel roller coaster located at Chelyuskintsev Park in Minsk, Belarus.

Unlike many roller coasters, which use a traditional chain lift, the Jumbo Jet was propelled with small wheel motors up the incline of the helix.

[4] After climbing the 56-foot-tall (17 m) spiral lift, riders plunge into a series of tight turns using a figure-eight pattern and ending with a double-helix.

When it debuted, Jumbo Jet was billed as the fastest of its kind and was known for its views of Lake Erie and steeply banked turns (some at up to 70 degrees).

[7] While at Cedar Point, Jumbo Jet carried between 1.6 and 1.8 million passengers every year.
