Luna Park
Roller Coaster Hopkins & Pearce
The cars do not have upstop wheels. Instead, there is a pair of rails in the middle of the track with a greased "Mushroom" shaped peg that runs between the rails, preventing the car from lifting off. The thrill comes from the fact there is a bit of a gap, so the car is able to lean outwards on the turns and shift about, making the ride live up to its "wild" name.

For the reopening, the ride was given extensive repairs. This model runs much faster than others in Australia, and relies on heavy trim brakes to keep it operating at manageable speeds.

These mushroom bolts allow a unique tilting sensation around turns, and will even allow the car to leave the track on drops.

Instead of regular upstop wheels, what are known as mushroom bolts keep the cars on track. A flat, freely spinning steel disc is slotted below two spaced rails on the track and bolted to the bottom of the cars.
