Cedar Point has announced a new roller coaster that will debut in the spring of 2015.
Rougarou is a “floorless roller coaster” named after a terrifying werewolf-like creature from French folklore. Rougarou feeds on screams and lurks in and around the swampy lagoon at the center of the park that is shared by other coasters like Iron Dragon and Top Thrill Dragster.
Rougarou’s floorless trains will take riders on an epic journey at speeds reaching 60 mph as their feet dangle just inches above the track and the murky waters below. The trains will be manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, Monthey, Switzerland, the same team behind rides like Raptor and GateKeeper, and utilize the structure and track of the former Mantis roller coaster.
