Bobbaan

The inside of the pipes are painted white, but the lower half is painted green.  It blends in very well with the surrounding vegetation.

Bobbaan's lift hill is 20 metres (66 feet) tall.  The track is a constant slight descending grade.  The cars never climb up a hill during the ride.  The coaster is beautiful, but it is rather tame.  Since the cars can take any path through the track, there are no lateral g-forces.  There are no hills to crest, so there are no reduced g-forces or "airtime" anywhere.  And since the three sections of block brakes can also be used as trim brakes to reduce any car's speed, the cars never actually gain a lot of momentum.
