The speed is controlled by riders, who can make it go up to 40 miles per hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Due to its unique location on top of a cruise ship, engineers had to get creative in making the attraction functional. It does not use gravity like most roller coasters, but rather electricity. The motorcycle-like cars (only two people can ride Bolt at a time) allow riders to go faster by turning the right handlebar back, like a throttle, or pushing a button by the left handlebar for an extra boost.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"bolt-cruise-coaster\" class=\"wp-image-19087159 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/bolt-roller-coaster-cruise-41.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/bolt-roller-coaster-cruise-41.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/bolt-roller-coaster-cruise-41.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/bolt-roller-coaster-cruise-41.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/bolt-roller-coaster-cruise-41.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Guests riding the Bolt roller coaster on the brand new Carnival Cruise Line ship \u201cMardi Gras.\u201d<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For riders who choose to go as fast as possible, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/carnival-mardi-gras-roller-coaster\/\">the Points Guy<\/a> says the experience only lasts about 20 seconds.
