'''Shuttle Loop''' is a type of [[Steel roller coaster|steel]] [[Launched roller coaster|launched]] [[shuttle roller coaster]] designed by Reinhold Spieldiener of [[Intamin]] and manufactured by [[Anton Schwarzkopf]].<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Scheinin | first1 = Lisa | year = 1993 | title = Who's Who & What's What (Part II) | journal = RollerCoaster! Magazine |volume = 15 | issue = 2 | page = 33 | publisher=American Coaster Enthusiasts | location=Chicago, Illinois | issn = 0896-7261}}</ref> A total of 12 installations were produced between 1977 and 1982. These 12 installations have been located in a total of 22 different [[amusement park]]s.

==History==
The first installation of a Shuttle Loop dates back to 1977 when King Kobra opened at [[Kings Dominion]].<ref name="Kings Dominion" /><ref name="Jolly Roger Amusement Park" /> Two other rides were also installed that year: White Lightnin' at [[Carowinds]] and Tidal Wave at [[California's Great America|Marriott's Great America (California)]].<ref name=Carowinds /><ref name="California's Great America" /> Tidal Wave at [[Six Flags Great America|Marriott's Great America (Illinois)]] opened in 1978 and was the last to feature the weight drop launch system.<ref name="Six Flags Great America" /><ref name="Shuttle Loop by propulsion" /> Also that year, [[Knott's Berry Farm]] opened [[Montezooma's Revenge]] and [[Six Flags AstroWorld]] opened Greezed Lightnin' as the first installations to feature the flywheel launch system.<ref name="Shuttle Loop by propulsion" /><ref name="Knott's Berry Farm" /><ref name=AstroWorld /> A number of installations followed across the world.

Twenty-two theme parks have operated Shuttle Loops, with half of the twelve original installations being relocated at some time. {{As of|2013|9}}, only five installations are operating, with another one in storage.<ref name="Knott's Berry Farm" /><ref name="Gold Reef City" /><ref name="Hopi Hari" /><ref name="Nagashima Spa Land" /><ref name="Cliff's">{{Cite RCDB|coaster_name=unknown|location= Cliff's Amusement Park|rcdb_number=10698|access-date=16 July 2012}}</ref> The remaining Shuttle Loops were either demolished or used for replacement parts on other installations.<ref name="Kentucky Kingdom" /><ref name="Oyama Yuenchi" /><ref name="Six Flags Discovery Kingdom" /><ref name=Toshimaen /><ref name="Yokohama Dreamland" />

==Notable installations==
* The original King Kobra from [[Kings Dominion]] is the most traveled shuttle loop, having operated at [[Kings Dominion]], Jolly Roger Amusement Park, [[Alton Towers]] and [[Hopi Hari]].<ref name="Hopi Hari" />
* [[Montezooma's Revenge]] at [[Knott's Berry Farm]] is the longest running shuttle loop that is still in its original location. All of the shuttle loops that were installed before it have either been moved or destroyed. Following the closure of Kentucky Kingdom's Greezed Lightnin' in 2009, "Zooma" became the only operating shuttle loop in the United States until Indiana Beach's Shuttle Loop (previously stored at Niagara Amusement Park & Splash World).<ref name=RCDBlist>{{Cite RCDB|coaster_name=Roller Coaster Search Results|Model=Shuttle Loop|rcdb_number=http://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&mo=8192&page=1&order=-10|access-date=December 10, 2012}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> The ride was closed in 2022 for a major refurbishment and was originally set for a 2023 opening.<ref>{{cite web | last=MacDonald | first=Brady | title=Knott's Berry Farm delays relaunch of Montezooma coaster | website=Orange County Register | date=May 16, 2023 | url=https://www.ocregister.com/2023/05/16/knotts-berry-farm-delays-relaunch-of-montezooma-coaster/ | access-date=August 19, 2024}}</ref> {{As of|February 2024}}, the project was halted due to unknown construction issues and the ride is currently standing with its loop and launch track removed. It is currently set for a 2025 reopening.
* [[Shuttle Loop (Nagashima Spa Land)|Shuttle Loop]] at [[Nagashima Spa Land]] is the only remaining Shuttle Loop operating in Asia.<ref name=RCDBlist/>
* The first European Shuttle Loop, Sirocco, was installed in 1982 at [[Walibi Belgium]] in [[Wavre]], [[Belgium]]. In 1999, the ride was partially covered to reduce noise pollution and the name was changed to Turbine. Turbine closed in 2008 and reopened in 2013 with a new Gerstlauer train, a new linear induction motor launch system and a new name, Psyké Underground. The attraction is now fully covered, making it the first covered Shuttle Loop. The attraction closed again in early January 2025 and reopened in early April 2025 with a new industrial theme and another new Gerstlauer train. The attraction has since been renamed Turbine again.
* The shuttle loop, Greezed Lightnin', that operated at [[Kentucky Kingdom]] from 2003 to 2009 was composed of the two Tidal Wave Shuttle Loops from the Marriott's Great America parks in California and Illinois.<ref name="Kentucky Kingdom" />
* The final new installation was Shuttle Loop at Oyama Yuenchi in 1990.<ref name="Oyama Yuenchi" />
* [[Kennywood]] in [[Pittsburgh]], [[Pennsylvania|PA]] included Laser Loop, a shuttle loop coaster opened in 1980 before being closed and relocated in 1990. It is currently stored at Indiana Beach awaiting reconstruction.

==Ride==
[[File:WalibiBelgium TurbineTrain.jpg|thumb|The original train and station of Turbine at Walibi Belgium]]

===Experience===
The train is launched out of the [[Station (roller coaster)|station]] at a speed of between {{Convert|53|and|60|mph|km/h}} before passing through a [[vertical loop]] and up a {{Convert|138|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall spike}}. Once the momentum of the train runs out on the 70° spike, the train begins to traverse the track backwards, returning through the loop. The train then passes back through the station and goes up another 70° steep spike, which stands at {{Convert|105|ft|m}}, until it stalls again and rolls forward back into the [[brake run]] and station.<ref name="Schwarzkopf Coaster Net 1">{{cite web|title=Shuttle Loop 1|url=http://schwarzkopf.coaster.net/ESshuttlelooptyp1GF.htm|publisher=Schwarzkopf Coaster Net|access-date=16 July 2012|date=1 November 2011}}</ref><ref name="Schwarzkopf Coaster Net 2">{{cite web|title=Shuttle Loop 2|url=http://schwarzkopf.coaster.net/ESshuttlelooptyp2GF.htm|publisher=Schwarzkopf Coaster Net|access-date=16 July 2012|date=1 November 2011}}</ref>

[[File:Amusement ride with vertical track loop - figure 1.jpg|centre|thumb|500px|Figure 1 from Anton Schwarzkopf's patent for the Shuttle Loop roller coaster (patent US4165695, "Amusement ride with vertical track loop"). The image shows the overall layout of the ride.]]

===Mechanics===
Anton Schwarzkopf designed the Shuttle Loop in the late 1970s. He filed a patent for the concept in 1978 which was approved the following year.<ref name=Patent>{{ cite patent | country = US | number = 4165695 | status = patent | title = Amusement ride with vertical track loop | gdate = August 28, 1979 | fdate = January 24, 1978 | inventor = Schwarzkopf, Anton | assign1 = Husar, Francis S. | assign2 = Reece, Randolph A.}}</ref> The patent describes two launch systems, both of which were implemented in various roller coasters:<ref name="Schwarzkopf Coaster Net 1" /><ref name="Schwarzkopf Coaster Net 2" /><ref name=Patent />
* '''Weight drop''' – a number of the early installations in 1977 and 1978 featured a weight drop launch system.<ref name="Shuttle Loop by propulsion" /> This system involved a catch car attaching itself to the train, which was attached to the weight via a cable. When the launch was triggered, the {{Convert|40|t|adj=on}} weight was dropped down a shaft pulling the cable and catch car which in turn pushed the train down the launch track.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OzZHAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA49|title=Coasters 101: An Engineer's Guide to Roller Coaster Design|last=Weisenberger|first=Nick|year=2013|isbn=9781468013559|pages=49–50|publisher=Nick Weisenberger |oclc=927712635}}</ref><ref name=RCDB>{{Cite RCDB|coaster_name=Shuttle Loop|rcdb_number=8192|access-date=16 July 2012}}</ref>
* '''Flywheel''' - from 1978, all of the new installations featured a [[flywheel]] launch system.<ref name="Shuttle Loop by propulsion">{{Cite RCDB|coaster_name=Roller Coaster Search Results|location=Shuttle Loop|rcdb_number=http://www.rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&mo=8192&order=18|access-date=16 July 2012}}</ref> This system consists of a {{Convert|6|t|adj=on}} [[flywheel]] which is spun at over 1000 [[revolutions per minute]]. This flywheel engages a drive system, through a system of multiple clutches, that is attached to a cable that in-turn propels the train forward.<ref name=RCDB/>

[[Gerstlauer]] completed an upgrade of Walibi Belgium's installation for the 2013 season. As part of the upgrade Gerstlauer replaced the existing flywheel launch system with a new [[linear induction motor]] (LIM) launch system. The company also added a new train. The ride was then completely enclosed and relaunched as Psyké Underground. The flywheel launch system is now displayed in the queue of the ride.<ref name="Walibi Belgium" /><ref>{{cite interview|last=Geering|first=Philipp|title=Psyké Underground – The new Sirocco / Turbine at Walibi Belgium|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL7X3t2swcA |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/SL7X3t2swcA |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|work=Walibi Belgium|location=[[Wavre]], [[Walloon Brabant]]|date=16 May 2013|access-date=29 June 2013}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|title=Psyké Underground|journal=Park World Magazine|date=September 2013|page=10}}</ref>

==Incidents==
[[File:Montezoomas Revenge (Knotts Berry Farm).jpg|thumb|Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's Berry Farm]]

On August 27, 1997, the Sirocco at Walibi Wavre failed to launch at the correct speed. The train went to the loop very slowly and up the spike, to roll backwards. During the backwards passage of the loop, the train halted at the uppermost point, causing the train to get stuck hanging upside-down. The passengers were hanging heads-down for one hour and twenty minutes, only held in place with lap bar restraints. The train was pulled back further down the track with help of the local fire station brigade.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://archives.lesoir.be/walibi-les-tests-incriminent-un-incident-et-l-inertie-s_t-19970828-Z0E4MA.html | title=Recherche }}</ref><ref>{{Citation|last=StarParc|title=Walibi Belgium – Incident Sirocco 27 aoÃ»t 1997 – Archive|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-c1iZuUWxA |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/x-c1iZuUWxA |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|access-date=2019-01-19}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

A 20-year-old woman died on September 1, 2001, one day after riding Montezooma's Revenge, the Shuttle Loop at Knott's Berry Farm. She suffered a ruptured middle cerebral artery, and an autopsy revealed a pre-existing condition. The ride was closed for several days while an investigation was conducted. Though state investigators concluded that the ride did not contribute to her death, a wrongful death lawsuit was later filed by her family in 2002.<ref>{{cite news |last=Anton |first=Mike |date=8 August 2002 |title=Knott's Sued in Death of Woman |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-aug-08-me-knotts8-story.html |access-date=9 October 2010}}</ref> The lawsuit was dismissed in 2006.<ref>{{cite news |date=24 February 2006 |title=Court upholds dismissal of coaster lawsuit |newspaper=Orange County Register |url=http://www.ocregister.com/articles/million-64765-percent-court.html |access-date=9 October 2010}}</ref>
