Context

Background

Rex's Racer is the half-pipe shuttle at Shanghai Disneyland. RCDB says 47 mph and an LSM launch. Coasterpedia says 51.0 mph (82 km/h). The figure is 47 mph, qualifier estimated.

The launch list uses that speed. Shanghai Disney Resort has three sourced rides, short of five, so it is not a public resort page. This coaster stays on the worldwide list. Roaring Rapids has no published speed on the park page or Wikipedia.
