The Infinity Coaster is a roller coaster model by German amusement ride manufacturer Gerstlauer. A variant of their Euro-Fighter model, the Infinity Coaster allows for higher rider throughput through longer trains. The coaster also features a magnetic rollback system on rides with lift hills, to allow for easier evacuation of riders in breakdown situations. The ride car can roll backwards with the magnetic fins deployed and the lift motor in reverse.[1]

The first Infinity Coaster was The Smiler at Alton Towers in the United Kingdom, which opened in 2013.

Junker at PowerPark was the third Infinity Coaster installation
