Cyber Space Coaster... what does it do?
[url]http://www.rcdb.com/ig3279.htm?picture=1[/url]

I found this on rcdb.

What in the world does it do? The cars look like they were stollen from a Gen 1 Intamin Free Fall ride.

It just looks like a roller coaster with really messed up looking cars.

It's just an old traveling rollercoaster, nothing all, nothing less.

Looks like a carnival coaster - aka toothpicks and glue lol. Maybe a bit of grease.

The cars look like Enterprise cars somewhat to me. I like how the track dips down into the station behind the load platform...that reminded me a bit of Camden Park's haunted house dark ride.

Well from one of the photos,
"This ride does not go upside down." as stated on the yellow plate on the rail. ;) :D

Well no one has really answered my question.

Is it a wild mouse. Is it just a bunch of little dips like a Galaxi or something?

The pics don't show the layout.

It looks like a mouse. You can see how it has a flat turn at the top of the lift.. Then some flat track. My guess is its mouse-ish on top.. then drops down and dose some turns...

Ah, the Intimidator rides at fair's. Fair's usually have the "Intimidator" which they advertise as "A Real Roller Coaster" and you end up paying extra money for it. Yet it turns out to suck and doesn't do anything.

Thats basically what it is. A ride with wierd cars. Called something cheesy to lure people in, then dissapoint them and offer no refunds. I should start a carnival company. I can rip off people in so many ways.

The track looks pretty thin, as the trains are made in two person rows. (see picture 3) I doubt the ride gets many laterals as it would be rather painful to slam into the sides of those metal/plastic cars, then again, it is a carnival ride.

Apparently the company's only made two other coasters and they both look a lot like wild mice coasters that are almost all turns, so it's probably safe to assume this one's pretty similar. Doesn't look like much, at any rate.
