The story of Katun

Mirabilandia places Katun in Adventureland, where the visitor is sent toward Sian Ka’an and a great inverted machine set for teenagers and adults. The park’s own guide describes it as an intense roller coaster, with a 140 cm access limit. mirabilandia.it

The coaster arrived with the new century. Mirabilandia’s own history names Katun as the 2000 arrival that remained Europe’s longest inverted coaster, a record-bearing addition that quickly found favour with the park’s bravest guests. mirabilandia.it

Bolliger & Mabillard supplied the steel and the inverted form. In the published figures, Katun rises fifty metres, reaches 105 km/h, and sends the train through six inversions before returning the traveller to Ravenna soil. en.wikipedia.org

The ride was part of Mirabilandia’s broad late-nineties renewal, when larger attractions helped return attention to the park. Contemporary park-history sources remember Katun as the grand emblem of that rebuilding period. mirabilandiaforever.it· mirabilandiaforever.it
