IIRC LLC now has 3 coasters or coaster like rides... The first one which was
there at the opening is the dragon themed ride. Using Roller Coaster Tycoon
nomenclature, this is a mini steelie. It has cars that have two seats per
car. Some good spirals, not a really fast ride but it scared my (then) 6
year old. Some moderate air time if you are in the middle, but no serious
neg G. It is now going into its third season. Great theming.
None of the LL coasters have any inversion.
The second coaster is Spellbreaker. This is a single rail suspended coaster
but it was down when we were there so I didn't get to see the cars very
closely. It's kind of like the pterodactyl ride at Universal Islands of
Adventure Florida, I think. (I could be wrong) There is a vertical elevator
instead of a lift hill, the cars release at the top after being lifted up
(they are on a small section of track and roll off the top of the elevator
when it gets there). Can't comment on theming as it was down.
This coaster is going into its second season I think. I am bummed that I
didn't get to ride it and add it to my list.
The newest coaster is the Technic test car ride that you saw the cars for.
This coaster is essentially a steel mouse. If you saw the track layout you
would recognise it, it's a lot like most steel mice. The big twist is that
the initial lift hill releases into a nice big dip. No curvature but you go
almost back down to ground level and back up in a nice swoop. A little air
time after that hill. The rest of the layout is a conventional steel mouse,
with the rough flat corners etc, no air time to speak of. Fairly good
theming, although the supports don't look like Technic beams or anything,
there still was enough theming to carry the day. This coaster was new this
season.
The above is all based on memory and i hope it's of some help.
