==Characteristics== ===Trains=== Lech uses two trains with five cars each. Each car seats four riders, allowing a total capacity of 20 riders per train. The ride can accommodate 1,000 riders per hour.<ref name="RCDB" />
===Track=== Lech's steel track is {{convert|908|m|ft}} in length and {{convert|40.|m|ft}} in height. The track is black and the supports are grey.<ref name="RCDB" />
==Ride experience== ===Layout=== Lech Coaster begins by taking a small dip, turning 90 degrees to the right into the {{convert|40.|m|ft}} tall lift hill. Upon reaching the top of the lift hill, riders plunge down a beyond-vertical drop (unknown angle), twisting 90 degrees to the right in the process. After passing through a tunnel and reaching the maximum speed of {{Convert|95|km/h|mph}} at the bottom of the drop, riders enter their first inversion: a reverse sidewinder. Right after, the train turns to the right into a twisted airtime hill, which twists riders to the left. Afterwards, the train will pass through another airtime hill, followed by a corkscrew, which is located right above the main station of the ride. Riders then turn left into an over-banked turn, which then turns right. Afterwards, they pass through another twisted airtime hill, followed immediately by another corkscrew. The train then enters into an outer-banked airtime hill into a 270 degree helix to the left, followed by another twisted airtime hill into a 180 degree turnaround to the left, before stepping up into Lech Coaster's final brake run, turning to the right afterwards to return to the station.<ref name="RCDB" /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOpTon3Wa6g |title=BEST Roller Coaster in Poland!
