'''Lech Coaster''' is a [steel roller coaster](/source/steel_roller_coaster) located at [Legendia](/source/Legendia) in [Chorzów](/source/Chorz%C3%B3w), Poland. It was the first Bermuda Blitz coaster by Dutch manufacturer [Vekoma](/source/Vekoma)<ref name="BermudaBlitz">{{cite RCDB|coaster_name=Search results |location=Bermuda Blitz |url=https://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&mo=15235 |access-date=12 January 2019}}</ref> and opened on July 1, 2017. The ride stands {{convert|40|m|ft}} tall, has a maximum speed of {{convert|95|km/h|mph}}, and has a track length of {{convert|908|m|ft}}. The ride also features three [inversions](/source/Roller_coaster_inversion).<ref name="RCDB">{{cite RCDB|rcdb_number=11034|coaster_name=Lech Coaster |location=Legendia Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko |access-date=12 January 2019}}</ref>

==Characteristics==
===Trains===
Lech uses two [trains](/source/Train_(roller_coaster)) 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](/source/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](/source/Roller_coaster_elements). Right after, the train turns to the right into a twisted [airtime](/source/Air_time_(rides)) hill, which twists riders to the left. Afterwards, the train will pass through another airtime hill, followed by a [corkscrew](/source/Roller_coaster_elements), which is located right above the main [station](/source/Roller_coaster_elements) 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](/source/Roller_coaster_elements), 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!
