The magnetic roller-coaster was built as a demonstrator project in the CRC 270 HoMMage. The magnetic track consists of over thousand strong Neodymium magnets. A type-II superconductor cooled below its critical temperature will be pinned in the magnetic flux and levitate above the track. This project is aimed at the general public, especially children and teenagers, and is shown during public events.
