ReptileGuy Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Have you ever been to a park where almost every ride is built by the same company. The best example I can think of is the new Luna Park. All of the newer rides are Zamperla or identical to Zamperla ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Zamperla owns Luna Park so I guess it makes sense for them to use their own rides. I haven't been there but eventually want to get there since Thunderbolt looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Justin Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I believe the Log Flume is an Arrow flume from MGM Adventures in Vegas. They also own the Coney Island Cyclone which isn't Zamperla Either The only other one I can think of is Mack Rides (The Dark Knight) who own Europa Park. Almost all the rides are Mack rides.

Yoshi Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 That is disappointing to hear especially since it is a new coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnus12 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 It might look good, but it's violently rough. No it's not. It's about as "rough" as Green Lantern. That being said, the restraints aren't so hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My head slammed into the plastic headrest repeatedly the night I rode it. And Green Lantern is also very rough, so I guess you just have a extremely high pain tolerance.

RC98 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 GL wasn't rough to me, it was just painful because of the high forces being pressed down on the legs and feet. I guess I generally have a pretty high pain tolerance on rides since Skyrush, Arrow loopers, and the Coney Island volare all didn't bother me. If Thunderbolt is really as painful as GL then maybe Zamperla should stick to flat rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have a problem with the headrest, but I don't put my head against the headrest on any coaster other than launch coasters so that might be why. The biggest problems I thought were the bottom of the lapbar, which dug into my thighs, and the shoulder straps that have no give. The latter is especially bad since the inversions have some hangtime and there's a few instances of legit ejector air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReptileGuy Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I used to get hurt on every ride i went on. My head would bounce around even on the smoothest rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Thunderbolt is really as painful as GL then maybe Zamperla should stick to flat rides. Steeplechase is pretty smooth (The Zamperla Motorbike). As long as it isn't Rip-Ride Rockit Rough, It's OK.
