New Zamperla Coaster Prototype Photos & Video

[PhishyBrewerDo you know where your wife is?]

Anyone... please... who is the guy in the front on the right hand side in the blue sweater??? I saw this guy a Solace for the first time this year, and now I freak'n see him everywhere. WHO IS THAT GUY!!!

I think this is a very positive development for small parks that want a launch coaster but can't afford a Vekoma Booster Bike, let alone an Intamin Accelerator. I'm just thinking, though, if this is available as a portable model, how difficult it may be for carnival staff to set up on-site speedily. I would expect that the assembly and testing for the launch track would be much more complex than that of a traditional lift hill. Just out of curiosity, were any of the Schwarzkopf shuttle loops ever portable?

It's Zamperla...
I can't say that it's a good coaster , because it isn't...
I hate all motorbike coasters , I think that Zamperla have to make ONLY kiddie rides , because their "Coasters" are very... errm... bad
If you want to see another zamperla coaster(It had to be a major ride...) look at this "Rocket Bull" coaster in Terra Mítica(Spain) : http://www.rcdb.com/id1083.htm

¿What do you think about Zamperla?

So you're saying that a Zamperla Moto Coaster is bad because...the same company also makes a powered buffalo coaster? I'm not trying to say they are good or bad coasters or anything, or flame you. I personally have never ridden one. I'm just trying to understand the logic of your post.

^ What about Bullet at FalmingoLand in England (Now up for sale). That was a shuttle that was transportable.

Wow, I thought Zamperla was known for flat rides. This will change pretty soon. SOMEONE HAS TO BUY THAT!

[coaster_maniacI don't like it when juice wears tights]

That looks awesome! A lot of coasters do their best to 'simulate' another experience.. like Flying.. but this one seems like you would ACTUALLY feel like you're riding a motorcycle! I hope to see these popping up in more parks!

[FLIPDUDEI prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

Not that I dont' think this coaster looks relaly cool or anything, but I must say that ti's a sad, sad day when someone goes as low as copycatting Vekoma.

[the soundYou just lost the game]

^ People copy Pinfari! Now that's low!

I think its really good and compact. A lot of Parks with limited space could benifit from this IMO. Infact, i think Luna Park should immediately asplode Metropolis, and put one of these things in!

Ride looks fun.

I like the restraints since they are the same as the DiskO restraint (although the first time I rode the DiskO I was like, "What just grabbed my butt!?!")

I hope that lead car is not permanent. It's tacky!

Geez guys how is it copying Vekoma?

It is a motorbike coaster which isn't exactly creative but it is a compact machine which is a huge benefit to a lot of parks. Heck Zamperla is helping to make a lot of variety in the compact machines that weren't there before.

Now personally I like most of the ideas behind the Volare... I just wish the corners were a little less extreme and the rolls weren't there at all. The feeling as it tilts down rocks IMHO. It definitely feels better than the Vekoma Flyers and I can't comment on B&Ms as I just haven't got to them.

I think the Zamperla Motorbike looks like a great addition for any park with only a small amount of realestate.

thats looks pretty cool...deff. different
