Rage is a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter model roller coaster (the 6th overall to be built).[1] At 97 degrees, it is steeper-than-vertical and tied for the third steepest roller coaster in the United Kingdom.[2] History and descriptionDesigned by Werner Stengel, the coaster opened on 10 February 2007.[3] When it was built, the coaster became the tallest structure in the park and one of the tallest structures in the nearby area. Riders on the coaster are offered expansive views of the nearby North Sea from the Southend-on-Sea beach.[4] The coaster has a total of three inversions: a vertical loop, an Cutback and a Heartline roll.[3] The coaster also has a helix near the end of the ride.[4] As with other Euro-Fighter model coasters, the coaster has trains that consist of individual cars. Riders in these cars are in two rows of four, for a total of 8 riders.[3] The base of the coaster is {{convert|197|ft|m}} by {{convert|125|ft|m}}.[1] The coaster layout for Rage is particularly close to two other Euro-Fighter (model 320+) roller coasters: Falcon at Duinrell amusement park and Untamed at Canobie Lake Park.[5] ReviewsIn 2009, Andy Akinwolere, a presenter for the Children's BBC show Blue Peter, rated Rage as the "most thrilling roller coaster" in the United Kingdom. Akinwolere, who wore a heart monitor to record his physiological reactions, reported that the coaster was "less scary than other rides, but...[offered] really intense excitement all the way through."[6] IncidentsRage attracted media attention when crows began nesting near the very top of the {{convert|72|ft|m}} tall roller coaster. Despite the fact that the nest was mere inches from the track itself, engineers at the park examined the nest and its location and determined that the nest's location did not pose a threat to coaster riders or the birds. The crows were also observed to be seemingly undisturbed by the coaster's operation.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.gerstlauer-rides.de/references/reference-list/europe/united-kingdom/rage-en-US/ |title=Euro-Fighter Rage |author= |date= |website=Gerstlauer |publisher= |accessdate=24 August 2014}} 2. ^{{cite RCDB |coaster_name=List of roller coasters in the UK by angle |location= |rcdb_number= |accessdate=24 August 2014 |url=http://rcdb.com/r.htm?na=&nm=na&pl=26828&order=-25&ot=2 }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite RCDB|coaster_name=Rage |location=Adventure Island |rcdb_number=3573 |accessdate=24 August 2014 |url= http://rcdb.com/3573.htm}} 4. ^1 {{cite book |last=Sehlinger |first=Bob |date=2011 |title=The Unofficial Guide to Britain's Best Days Out, Theme Parks and Attractions |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ptk82Uwd_ikC |location=West Sussex, UK |publisher=John Wiley & Son |pages=222–223 |isbn=1119971136 |accessdate=24 August 2014 }} 5. ^{{cite journal |last=Rutherford |first=Scott |date=January 2011 |title= Canobie Lake adding Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter coaster|url=http://www.amusementtoday.com/backissues/at_january_2011_web.pdf |journal=Amusement Today |location= |publisher=IAAPA |volume=14 |issue=10 |pages=9 |accessdate=24 August 2014 }} 6. ^{{cite news |last=Archard |first=Michelle |date=25 March 2009 |title=Blue Peter rates Adventure Island Rage ride as No 1 |url=http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/4229503.Updated__Rage_is_top_UK_ride__says_Blue_Peter/ |newspaper=Echo |location= |publisher=Newsquest (Essex) Ltd |accessdate=9 September 2014 }} 7. ^{{cite news |author= |title=The Twig Dipper: Crows make their nest at the top of a 75ft rollercoaster |url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1377548/The-Twig-Dipper-Crows-make-nest-75ft-rollercoaster.html |newspaper=Mail Online |location= |publisher=Associated Newspapers Ltd |date=16 April 2011 |accessdate=24 August 2014 }} External links{{commons category-inline}} 2 : Roller coasters introduced in 2007|Roller coasters in the United Kingdom |
