BULLET - Unique Shuttle Loop by Schwarzkopf - POV/Off-Ride, Selva Mágica
131Bullet has an interesting history and is a unique ride experience at Selva Magica. It has traveled all over the World and is likely one of the most traveled rides in existence. "Bullet was erected at Prater in Vienna, Austria, during 1982, where it was named Wiener Looping... Due to its very high noise level during testing, it never opened to the public and was taken down.
It was then relocated to Circus World in Florida (Boardwalk and Baseball), United States where it opened in 1985. The ride was closed by 1986 and the park sued the coaster's broker, claiming he lied about potentially unsafe conditions.
In 1988, German showman company Goetzke bought the ride and had it refurbished by BHS. BHS added a second drive motor to the ride, reducing the initial launch speed. As a result, less power and maintenance is necessary to operate the ride.
Goetzke operated it for two years as the Shuttle Loop. It was then sold to Flamingo Land, who reopened it as the Bullet in 1991 on the spot where Kumali stands now. On September 25, 2005, Bullet was closed."

Today, the ride has found its home at Selva Mágica, where it still operates, but many have missed the ride after traveling here because of maintenance. Luckily, the ride opened for us after hours of waiting and worrying about missing our flight. Even though it has traveled the World, for those reasons, it is still considered to be very rare to ride.
