New Ride From Zamperla

[pgathriller]

I was browsing on Zamperla's website and on the front page they were advertising there new ride Super Spin.

 

http://www.zamperla.it/scheda_prodotto.asp?ID=532

 

After seeing the pictures and watching the video I'm pretty impressed. It looks like a decent mild thrill ride. IMO it looks like a good ride that can be placed in family amusements parks that need a thrill ride that doesn't take too much away from the family ride category. Such a park is my local one Western Playland. The only downside I see is the low hourly capacity which is 360 per hour. What are your opinions on this new ride?

 

* I also forgot to add that if you go to the last picture in the photo gallery, you can see that his ride has a nice lighting package.

The link is not working for me.

I think the site went down or something.

[Myst3Exile]

WOAH, that looks intense

 

I'd love to ride one of those, only problem is that it swings past the ground in an inverted position and I hate that feeling. *cough* slammer *cough*

 

Anyway, cool find.

OMFG I had this exact idea in my head for months. Just all the more reason I should get a patent for my ideas. Well then again, in my idea the middle tower spun in circles. It would be a very disorenting ride.

[Canobie Fan]

Wee..... If only the zamp OTSRs were not rock hard.

 

All it looks like is Zamps take on a topspin.

the link doesn't work for me either.

 

Could someone post more pics on possibly the video?

[Marcus Sheen]

The link doesn't work for me either (direct links never seem to work on the Zamperla site) but it is easy enough to find from the Zamperla homepage if you click on products and then search for "Super Spin" in the box to the right.

 

Looks fun, kind of like a Booster. Surprised how low the capacity is though considering the number of seats compared to a Booster.

[calcajun]

Me neither either

[christianscoasters]

That looks sweet! It would be a nice addition to a family park. Oh yeah, for those who the link dosen't work, here's what I did.

 

Go to http://www.zamperla.it/

On the bottom, there is flash conent with pictures that enlarge when your cursor moves over them. Click on super spin. It should bring it up in a new window. That's how I got to it.

that looks so cool!

 

its basically a wacked out top spin!

[Finrock]

yeah, my home park is getting this next season, I will go ride it The ride looks great on the video

[pvcoasterguy]

Let me say one thing: Zamperla Mixer.

 

Yeah, that one looked fun enough, didn't it? Too bad it was the most uncomfortable and unreliable ride imaginable. Unfortunately, due to that poorly designed ride, I don't have really high hopes for this one.

 

Although, the Disk'o was pretty good... I can only hope this won't be as uncomfortable as the Mixer.

The capacity isn't that low. I mean for a flat ride its pretty good. But the thing is, if it will be installed in a park, then there would be some capacity issues. But it would be fine for a fair or something.

 

Also, I didn't find the mixer that bad. It was actually a lot of fun.

[CP_RULES]

Looks kind of like a ride you could finad at a fair to me.... Maybe it would be good for smaller parks like Beech Bend.

[Xxhershey818xX]

That ride looks so sick! Yea but I have to agree. It looks like it should go into small parks or maybe a traveling fair or something.

[dr.gumbo]

Looks like an inside out topspin which is good, but with that capasity only small parks that dont have much income will get one

 

Its like a cheap version of the topspin!

[IceDragon]

CwoA deffinately needs this, with a tamed Topspin as the main ride, its a must...

[Stealth]

I have to agree this ride would be pretty kewl in Chessy but i would have to say that if they were to get one of these then i doubt they would keep Ramesis aswell as. They would probably end up pushing Ramesis over to Thorpe. I personally don't think we will see one of these coming to CWOA any time soon though, if at all.

[kenshinmac]

Anyone else kinda think it is weird that they only went with 12 people?

 

I mean it would seem to me that you could fairly easily bulk up the arms and put a second set of seats on the back of each of the arms... Double capacity model coming soon? Anyone else think so?

[Primogen18]

It looks pretty cool, I could see this going into Knoebels sometime in the near future, we all know Knoebels just loves Zamperla.
