Congrats WOF for this new investment! This is definitely going to be a hit attraction for the park. What a great homage to the OG Zambizi Zinger.

Oh, and to CrashCoaster, you might want to look up the definition of what a tunnel is. But to save you some time, it's "an artificial UNDERGROUND passage". The original ZZ had a tunnel. This thing has an over-hyped shed.

Ah the days of riding the original as a kid over and over until we puked. My favorite however was the Orient Exspress. That 1st hill was pitch black. Anyway I wish I could ride this one but at 52 my roller coaster days are over. But to everyone who can ride it enjoy it for me.

@thegame42640 Жыл бұрын

My favorite sections of the ride in no particular order is the spiral lift hill, banked airtime hill before the curve around the station, curve around the station, and then banked low to the ground curves that whip you around like crazy. I really wish the ride was a little longer with more titan track. It will be interesting to see how this compares to other GCI coasters.

Had the opportunity to ride this coaster myself. Unless you have fast pass plus, be prepared to wait in line at least 45 minutes. Other than that, this is a great ride. The spiral lift is loud, but that’s the only real downside I can think of. Lots of speed, tight turns, some good air time for what it has, the titan track is smooth and the tunnel is a great head chopper. Is it the original Zinger? No, but having ridden the original Zinger myself this is a worthy successor!

This thing looks awesome! I hope to ride a model like this someday. My only criticism is the mix of titan track and normal track. You'd think they'd use the Titan track on the most intense/forceful parts of the ride, to help with wear as well as a smoother ride experience. But there's only titan track on the lift, and the turn around the lift. Doesn't really make any sense to me, but I'm not an engineer.

@cincydj Жыл бұрын

The Titan Track is integrated into the lift design and allows for longer track spans around the lift. More structure would have been required if the lift track was wood.

Looks like a fun ride. Kept just enough details intact from the original to where I can actually consider this a good homage and deserving of the keeping the same name, Zambezi Zinger. I guess my only complaint would be the lack of a dark tunnel at the end. Loved that. As a kid I always thought that going in would take my head off. You're flying through the tunnel, it's dark, everybody's screaming, guys grope and kiss their lady friends...good times for all! I bet this one has seatbelts and restraints unlike the original...hehe. How they got away with no safety restraints is beyond me, but then again I never heard anything about morons standing up or being thrown out of the original either. Different times 😃 Give this a few years to get some significant tree growth and this will be a great ride through the jungle.
