Experience the first wooden high-speed coaster in Phu Quoc
The wooden high-speed coaster located in Phu Quoc will commence operations from February 2022. This unique coaster, named Moc xa thinh no, boasts a maximum height of 32.4m, 14 steep slopes, and intertwining spiral tracks.
The ride is likened to the frenzy of the mythical Moc xa creatures on the deserted island. The coaster provides an adventurous journey of over 2 minutes, covering nearly 900m of twists and turns.
It is known that this attraction is constructed from 1355 deep concrete pillars and supported by 1000m3 of specially imported solid wood from the United States. The type of wood used for this project is golden pine, specially treated to ensure strength, durability, and resistance to bacterial decay and natural erosion, as well as to prevent structural deformation due to temperature changes. The lifespan of this type of wood is up to 50 years. Hence, the wooden high-speed coaster in Phu Quoc is evaluated to have high safety standards, offering a smoother ride than conventional iron coasters.
