SideWindZ Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 thats the best coaster ever! I MEAN WHO IN THE WORLD CAN MAKE A MODERCYCLE COSTER THATS THE COOLEST COSTER EVER!!!!!!!!!! Vekoma already made one.. but zamperlas look waaaaaay better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterboi Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I can really see somewere like chessington getting one of these. but this looks awsome looking fowards to when i can get on one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 ^ I doubt that, Chessington can afford B&M's and Intamin's, why would they get a Zamperla? Â Anyway, I like the idea of these little coaster companies making coasters like these, Fabbri have also designed a Launched coaster. Â As fun as this ride looks, I can't believe its got a trim brake at the top of the ride, just after the launch. Â I'm surprised that so many people tihnk these are better than Vekoma's Booster Bikes, I can see it being a fun little coaster, nothing else.

Golfie Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 lol! I always love seeing guys in suits riding roller coasters. Â In my opinion, I like the vekoma design better because it just looks a certain way... I can't really explain it, but I like it better. However, I haven't ridden either of them so I've only based my opinion off of looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorisTF Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 ^ I doubt that, Chessington can afford B&M's and Intamin's, why would they get a Zamperla?B&Ms & Intamins don't fit into Cheesingtons youth based (can't think of a better way to say it) scheme, whereas this motorbike coaster would fit slightly better imo.

Hippyhater Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Could someone post a Link to Download the Video. It's hard to stream on Dial-up. The coaster looks like fun from the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Looks cool. I thought the back restraint on the Booster Bike was sort of uncomfortable, while the one on the DiskO didn't bother me, so maybe I'd find this ride is a bit easier on the back.

BlackHole2005 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I really like the idea! Â Its portable, Exiting and compfy. Â I reckon most funfairs of ghetto like amusement parks will have them. Maybe some major six flags parks or others. All we have to do Is wait and see for the future!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006  WOW, the pictures make it look kinda cool, but the video makes it look like alot of fun  Maybe Cliff's could replace the old Galaxi Coaster with one of these  or maybe even the NM state fair could have one of these instead of three Galaxi copies, that would be nice, LOL   Great job, looks like one of the best, if not the best small portable coaster, it looks fun and doesn't look painful, a good combination in my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zingo Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 This ride is sertainly not better than a vekoma MOTORBIKE. Its just a bitching copy. The trains must be his small because of the compactness of the ride. Â I've irden something like 2 or 3 zamperla coasters and like 20 zamperla rides and EVERY SINGLE ONE sucked! Even the ferris wheel was rough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virdu_ Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 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 MÃtica(Spain) : http://www.rcdb.com/id1083.htm  ¿What do you think about Zamperla?

batwing86 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I think the Vekoma Motorbike Coaster is way better! This is more like a freaky kind stand up coaster. Vekoma really used a motorlike-sit-style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 It's a Twisted version of a "Booster Bike" nothing new, if they made one which is 200ft high maybe that would be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 This ride is sertainly not better than a vekoma MOTORBIKE. Its just a bitching copy. Â You took the words right out of my mouth. First Intamin rips off vekoma with a 10 looper, and now this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyBrewer Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Anyone... please... who is the guy in the front on the right hand side in the blue sweater???

MilleniumMadMan Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 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?  Virdu_ said: It's Zamperla... I can't say that it's a good coaster , because it isn't...

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.

apollo210 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 ^ What about Bullet at FalmingoLand in England (Now up for sale). That was a shuttle that was transportable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskater132 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Wow, I thought Zamperla was known for flat rides. This will change pretty soon. SOMEONE HAS TO BUY THAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_maniac Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPDUDE Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sound Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 ^ People copy Pinfari! Now that's low! Â 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgwfreak Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Ride looks fun. Â 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!?!") Â I hope that lead car is not permanent. It's tacky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinmac Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Geez guys how is it copying Vekoma? Â 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. Â 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. Â I think the Zamperla Motorbike looks like a great addition for any park with only a small amount of realestate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
