"Euro-Mir" is a spinning roller coaster located at Europa-Park in Rust, Germany. [ [http://www.thrillride.com/EuroMir/Euromir.html ThrillRide! ] ] . Unlike most spinning coasters, however, the cars do not spin freely, but are rotated by motors at set points during the ride.

The experience is modeled on the Soviet/Russian space station Mir. It consists of five cylindrical towers, with the ride simulating a trip into space and re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. [ [http://www.s104638357.websitehome.co.uk/html/euromir_main.htm Coaster Kingdom > Europa Park > Euro Mir > Our Thoughts ] ] The largest tower, which contains the helical lift hill, is a dodecagon, 25 feet across and 92 feet high while the maximum drop of the ride is 86 feet. The ride opened in 1997 and carries 9 trains, each comprising 4 circular spinning cars. Riders are sat back to back in pairs, with a maximum of 16 riders per train.
