The world's most thrilling and advanced suspended coaster explodes riders on an 80km/hr journey into a world of high speed loops, curves, upside-down experiences, plunges, dives and roll-overs! It completely redefines the coaster experience.
Lethal Weapon is an awesome suspended inverted looping coaster with a never before experienced roll-over sequence and horizontal curve, completely unique in the world. Lethal Weapon is Australia's first and only suspended looping coaster.
There are 765 metres of non-stop drops, dives, bends, roll-overs (corkscrew combined with looping), sidewinders (vertical loops), double spins, Bayern curves (horizontal curves), loops and plunges with riders suspended in absolute nothingness and encountering five complete upside-down sensations.
Lethal Weapon is completely feet-free. Riders sit in suspended seats which travel on the 'outside' of the track. In the looping sequence riders can see their feet against the sky and will experience up to 4G Forces.
Custom-made by Vekoma International BV, Netherlands, for Warner Bros. Movie World, Lethal Weapon is designed to be the smoothest and quietest coaster in the world, testament to quality manufacturing and operation.
Lethal Weapon is the only ride of its type with the Bayern Curve - a horizontal loop - dubbed the "Aussie Curve" by the manufacturer because the park is the first to incorporate it in a sensational new coaster experience.
More than 600 tonnes of steel and technology from around the world was assembled to construct the coaster on which two trains each with 10 chairs of two riders abreast operate making capacity up to 1000 people per hour.

A set of false teeth were lost when the owner let out a bellow on experiencing the sidewinder (they were retrieved and who said the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist!) and one young lady expressed concern regarding the G Force effect on her newly acquired breast implants! Other lost (and found again) items include one diamond earring, more than 75 hair combs, one prophylactic (unused!) and one stiletto!
