Gerstlauer will open not one, but two record-breaking coasters at the American Dream Meadowlands entertainment complex in New Jersey, USA.
The two coasters will be located in the hotly-anticipated Nickelodeon Universe theme park, expected to open in April 2019, and will consist of the Euro-Fighter and Spinning Coaster.
The Euro-Fighter features a beyond-vertical drop, and is the current world record holder for the steepest roller coaster drop, while the Spinning Coaster, which rotates its cars along a vertical axis as they move along the track, holds the titles for both the world's tallest and longest free spinning roller coaster.
Siegfried Gerstlauer, MD of Gerstlauer Amusement Rides, said: "We have worked on many projects, but this will be unlike anything we have ever designed. Visitors to Nickelodeon Universe at American Dream are in for a great ride."
Dan Ghermezian, president of the Triple Five Group, operator of the American Dream Complex, said: "Featuring the best in family and adult entertainment, Nickelodeon Universe has been designed to appeal to customers of all ages. By working with the best partners in the business, our park experience will be highly themed and offer one of a kind rides by Gerstlauer."
Gary Hanson, Triple Five management consultant, said: "These two coasters appealing to thrill seekers, will break three world-records combined. Gerstlauer has far exceeded our expectations with these new to market coasters and we're excited to have them on this journey with us."
