New Zamperla Coaster Prototype Photos & Video

[CarnageWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

Interesting.

What kind of a launch is it? Hydraulics?

[StitchIdiot.]

Slave labor, like the good ole pirate ship days *Whip* work slaves work!!

[DerekRxI'm the gyro!]

^Nope, good old fashioned flywheel just like Schwarzkopf used to make.


Looks like a fun AND comfortable ride. Hopefully there'll be some of these popping up soon.

Wow, that was unexpected... I'd never expect a Motorcycle-themed coaster, but I must admit it looks pretty cool (and fun)!

[Mr. VolcanoOne time I ate pancakes]

Wow that looks really cool. I like the different colors in the supports actually. This really reminds me of a roller skater type motorbike coaster... I saw these advertised at IAAPA several times, but for some reason I thought they just made the vehicles for the Vekoma Booster Bikes, not an actual coaster.

[Jew"It's not small, but it is very 'average.'"]

I dig the fact that this appears to be a portable model.

Portable roller coaster designs have been real boring (for the most part) for a long time. Hopefully this will catch on, and the launch system can be used for other types of awesome portable coasters as well.

If it is portable, that only means one thing.....


WISCONSIN STATE FAIR!

I'm pleased that it's a flywheel launch. None of these non-reliable launch systems that break down for extended amounts of time (such as hydraulic.)

Looks like a fun, twisty ride. In addition, it looks more comfortable than the Vekoma Booster Bike.

[kennywood!007SLC's Rule!]

That looks freaking awesome! Really does look better than the Vekoma style one.

looks like a cool concept, i love it! Pretty neat that Zamperla is behind it!
