Not so much a roller coaster as a terrifyingly huge slide.
Located at the 1940 Centennial Exhibition in Wellington, New Zealand this enormous slide had its own lift hill and an enormous first drop into what appears to be a small airtime hill. The lift hill itself looks quite interesting to me, I assume people sat in those little boxes as it raised them to the summit and presumably dumped them into the ride trough at the top.
The ride can be seen on the right hand side here with a curving entry to that first drop
The classic Out And Back Cyclone wooden coaster seen at the back of the park and may very well get its own post in the old coasters thread sometime later today

I would say the whole of Mandrill Mayhem is a wacky bit. A family shuttle wing coaster already sounds insane, but being a multi-launch made by B&M? With a rare spike and a bizarre helix that just ends? Again, made by B&M?

Its practically a 4d coaster with the shuffling & bouncing it does

I agree it's not a smooth ride, but would you complain if Merlin marketed MM as the UKs only 4D coaster?
I've not noticed this on West Coast Racers before. The helix bowl of a support structure is a mega WWS, could be a concept model of a stadium super structure.

They were testing some structural design ahead of the LA Olympics.
