History

Construction on the ride was completed in January 2016. The design of the trains was revealed on 19 February 2016 and a week later, testing began.

The official soundtrack of Lost Gravity, Move Up (Lost Gravity) by Mr. Polska, was released on 11 March 2016. Lost Gravity opened on 24 March 2016.[1]

Design

The ride is painted black, with some track sections painted yellow. It was the first of Mack Rides "BigDipper" model roller coasters. The model is unique in that as well as having 2 seats above the track, each row also has two outer seats suspended on the sides of the track; one on the left and one on the right. Despite being the only roller coaster model from Mack Rides to utilise this seating arrangement, two Intamin coasters also use it; Skyrush at Hersheypark and Flying Aces at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.
