Sunkid Reports On New Projects
Sunkid has built Razorback - the first mountain coaster in the Philippines. Under the motto "Can't be done doesn't exist" the first Mountain Coaster was built by Sunkid in the Philippines this year. The track of the Mountain Coaster extends over a length of 609 m.
Corona (Covid-19) posed challenges for both the operators of the Dahilayan Adventure Park and Sunkid. However, thanks to good cooperation, a strong team and precise planning, the project was successfully completed this year after all.
Despite the difficult times, the Razorback Mountain Coaster brings a smile to the faces of Adventure Park guests, whether they are families or adventurous action junkies.
One of the reasons for the excitement is that the speed can be adjusted. Those who like adventure can whizz down the monorail at up to 40 km/h. If you prefer a more leisurely ride, you can apply the brakes at any time and enjoy the lush green of the Dahilayan mountains to the full during the ride. You will also pass some curves and waves on the descent, which make the ride even more varied and exciting.
When designing the track, the operators gave a lot of thought to the design and were able to create something great. They have succeeded in making it feel as if you are gliding down a gorge or on a second level down the mountain. They achieved this effect by adapting the terrain (by building embankments or stone walls) and by successfully integrating the railway into the jungle.
Fun Fact: The Mountain Coaster is called Razorback (engl. wild boar) because there were many wild boars in the area where the track is located.

Sukkid has also installed a moving carpet in Narvikfjellet!. The Norwegian ski resort offers its guests exciting experiences all year round, creating lasting memories - the Moving Carpet plays a major role in this.
Narvikfjellet is Norway's most urban ski resort, a unique destination for downhill and off-piste skiing over the sea, for Northern Lights experiences and a place to enjoy the beautiful midnight sun.
Narvikfjellet is located north of the Arctic Circle and offers a view over the town of Narvik. A bit above the ski center of Narvikfjellet is the Sneff Park (children's land) and the Sunkid Moving Carpet. The Moving Carpet is not only a means of transportation for beginners, but also for snow racers.
Skiing here is magical and very special, as the polar nights provide indescribable moments on the crystal clear white snow.
In summer the ski slopes become spectacular bike trails, and the midnight sun gives 24 hours of daylight to the visitors of the destination. Here, too, the Moving Carpet serves as an aid to ascent and provides relief for the bikers, as it saves them energy when going uphill. The midnight sun makes it possible to enjoy biking all day and all night.
