Katapult was a Schwarzkopf launched roller coaster located at Mirabilandia in Emilia-Romagna, Italy.

History[]

Katapult arrived at the park during the 2005 season. It was initially setup in a service area. After that, it was taken down and repainted with plans to be installed at the park. When the 2006 season came about, the park installed a Moser Energy Rush ride calling it "Katapult". Within just a couple of weeks the Energy Rush was removed and construction of the Schwarzkopf Katapult started.

Design[]

Elements

Katapult featured a circular loading area that was slightly banked. The train traveled both forwards and backwards, gaining momentum, until it was fully launched into the vertical loop. After two circuits, the ride was slowed back down and stopped in the station.
