Mundo Petapa | Relámpago | Zamperla Thunderbolt

I feel like a couple airtime hills or a helix at the end would bump the length to a better duration. Would an airtime hill really cost that much more?

I agree, I do wonder why they didn't include an airtime hill going into the brakes. It's still larger than a Eurofighter 320+ though, yet is still slower and shorter.

Well RCDB has this as a Thunderbolt Layout Three.
Thunderbolt, Rollin' Thunder, and Rapid Train are now Layout One.
Thunderchariot is now Layout Two.

I do love the look of those cars. <3

 

[CrashCoaster]

So... did this get built? I've heard bollocks-all about this coaster.

 

[Pear]

Well looks like this will be getting built soon

And now its up. That popped up fast.

I didn't realise it was so compact, definitely has vibes of a Gerstlauer 320/320+.

 

[oriolat2]

Ew. Looks so cheap xD

Studying the layout the whole thing rotates to the left and keeps rotating till the end. It's a really weird design choice.

I'm not sure you studied the layout very well.

Ha you're right, it rotates left twice then right then left. forgive me.

I still dont like the overrotating roll last inversion.

The coaster is now open:-

 

[Lofty]

The size of the train in relation to the tiny drop looks so awkward.

 

[oriolat2]

This coaster is so ugly it is offensive to look at. And that excessive hangtime (and that's coming from someone who loves some hangtime) looks not that impressive either.

 

[Tulum]

I guess those coasters will only be popular among smaller parks that cannot afford more expensive manufacturers. For them they might be a good option to add a coaster with inversions to their portfolio and I bet Zamperla counts on that.

 

[MLDesigns]

....how much more expensive was a Gerstlauer 320 model?? Clearly significant enough to where THIS thing was their choice, but good lord...

 

[Antinos]

Ever since Thunderbolt opened at Luna Park and people reviewed it so negatively, I've wondered why these still sell at all. This ride doesn't help with that thought. As previously stated, is this that much cheaper than a small Eurofighter?

 

[Boodangy]

Judging by some of these pics, this park seems to be one of those Zamperla package/showcase parks where like half of the rides and all new ones are Zamperla in which case it has to be significantly cheaper. For those parks if not anybody else, this must prove a cheaper alternative.
