US Singapore | Puss In Boots Giant Journey | Zamperla Invert

I've just discovered this on RCDB:

I don't believe they've ever done an inverted coaster before.....

Spiral lift + inverted track + Family + Zamperla = family Volare

Surely RCDB would have it down as a Volare, if it were to be one? Also, I'm pretty certain that a Universal park would never install a Volare, ever.

Ah yes, the mysterious Universal Singapore cred. No one seems to really know what it is but considering what park this is being installed in it'll probably be more like a Vekoma family suspended.

My guess is that it's a clone of Vekoma SFC (or at least a very, very similar ride). I'm guessing that after all the problems with Battlestar Galactica, USS didn't want Vekoma to work on their newest coaster...

I didn't realise SFC's have a spiral lift?

I thought is was Vekoma. Well now that I notice, the tracks do look like Thunderbolt's.

Re: Zamperla Inverted Coaster 2015

Track is now complete and they're now starting work on the theming. There are some construction pics in the link below...

It's going to be hideous. Zamperla really need to get out of the habit of building anything above 10ft because they just can't do it.

They should just stick to spinspiders!

Re: Zamperla Inverted Coaster 2015

They've made one passable coaster - the mine train at Ocean Park - and that really is it.

I guess the wild mouse thing at ME World was ok actually, but that park closed down years ago.

They should stick to flat rides; they're actually very good at that.

Re: Zamperla Inverted Coaster 2015

Now I think about it - the powered coaster at tibidabo is pretty decent...

Re: Zamperla Inverted Coaster 2015

I'm assuming the near clone of Ocean Parks Mine Train in India is also similarly good. Isn't the new Thunderbolt at Luna Park also supposed to be good?

The new spinning coaster in Turkey looks pretty good too

What's that clone called and are there pictures, cause that sounds weird I wanna see.

And nah everyone safe Thunderbolt is dire. Just look at it.

Thunderbolt as Coney Island is **** awful! Yes, it looks good, but it rides like ****.

Are you the guy in the CF POV who says "that was absolutely awful. How can it be so bad, it's brand new"?

Please PM me your details and I'll get you a signed photo out first thing in the morning.

/\ Lol I was just wondering because I knew it would have been someone on here rather than a GP.

And motogee is ok (if a little tame)

Hero's vile though!

Gold Rush Express at Adlabs Imagica. The first half is pretty much the same apart from some re profiling into and out of the helix. The second half doesn't have a brake run but replaces it with a hop.
