The ECC was founded by GWR’s chief rollercoaster consultant Justin Garvanovic in 1996, initially drawing its members from the readership of his First Drop magazine. It has grown to become a popular social club for fans of coasters and theme parks, with thousands of members and many corporate partners.
Manufactured by Mack Rides GmbH & Co KG (Germany), two rollercoasters currently feature a 42.52-m-diameter (139-ft 6-in) loop: Flash at Lewa Adventure in Shaanxi, China, and Hyper Coaster at Land of Legends Theme Park in Antalya, Türkiye, as verified on 13 June 2019.
