- I know what you're thinking, you're probably reading the title thinking it's either clickbait, or I'm actually crazy, but I assure you I believe it is definitely possible, you may also be thinking this is the most far fetched theory I have ever done, but that simply is not the case. In this video I will tell you exactly why I think the kiddie ride company zamperla can become a giant in the coaster industry, and why out of all the companies they are showing similarities to the legend intamin...

PNE Playland's coaster actually is an old Intamin being relocated. Zamperla is just replacing the mechanics such as the launch, breaks, and trains.
I would say that zamperla is going to be the new vekoma, previously made not great rides, but pivots into a new direction they are better at.
vekoma still sucks there no where near intmain
The ride in Vancouver was an intamin roller coaster. Zamperla is refurbashing the trask with their own LSM launch and new trains. The track layout is Intamin which is why it looks like an Intamin
3 years ago Zamperla publicly said that they were on a new mission to make the worlds best coasters.. they developed the lightning trains (and base model lightning coasters), they hired expert engineers from other big name companies, and they have a new track building faciilty with top of the line equipment. The old trains will not be used on TTD.. only three trains remain anyway.
Actually zamperla will be more a go-to for smaller parks. They will and can't compete with companies like mack, gerstlauer, vekoma or Intamin at LSM coasters. The Italian is lacking in experience. So they need time and projects to show what they are capable of.
The new restraints look a lot more comfortable then rmc restraints
They look REALLY good in my opinion
The coaster at pne play land is literally an intamin, they just took out the hydraulic launch and replace it with lsms
I think that Zamperla making its pitch about lower operating costs and ease of maintenance is a smart move, especially given the impact that covid had on the industry. I know theyre not the only ones who are trying to do trains more like this, but theirs does seem to be very competitive. It will be interesting to see who bites first on an all-new lightning coaster (as opposed to the current two which are both Intamin refurbished rides). If they are more competitive on pricing than one of the current top tier manufacturers, i think there might be a lot of interest from small to mid size parks. As an aside, im not sure why premier rides hasnt done this i.e. developed a better train. They're less expensive than the top tier manufacturers, and have a ton of experience with launch coasters, but most people seem to hate their trains. They could have gotten all of the interest that Zamperla is now getting, but as far as ive seen, theyre continuing to only offer the same rides and crappy trains
I really feel that zamperla and Funspot will form a good partnership. The double heart model is something that would really work at their parks and flats are the lifeblood of funspot. Plus zamperla is affordable for fun spot's pockets.
Intamin wasn’t today’s Intamin until they built Superman Ride of Steel, then really knocked it out of the park with Superman at SFNE. Zamperla hasn’t even designed or built their own major custom coaster yet. Thunderbolt at Coney Island is a cool small ride, though, even if kinda rough.
For a first attempt at a thrill coaster its pretty good imo
My #1 overall is a Zamperla, being Rollin' Thunder at OWA. I'd like to mention the restraints are actually not what they look like, but they do restrict airtime, which I didn't mind much on my very first ride on it, in the back, where theres ejector over that 114.8 foot lift, but the hills towards the end, and that hangtime are missed.
when I read this title, I thought it said vekoma was the new intamin then I was thinking ok, this could actually make sense... but soon after, I realized it said zamperla and I was very confused by what was going through this man's mind.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ve done a video about Vekoma being the new intamin in the past so that’s hilarious. The shock value of this title is A+!!!
In my opinion I think intamin and Zamperla might be working on top thrill dragster reimagining together. Intamin provides the mechanical aspect such as the launch system while Zamperla provides the trains.
That’s would be really cool to see!!! Great idea
@@TheCoasterJosh what do you like about that idea.
@@favroitetiger2351 cause it’s different than only two theories currently going around. It’s nice to get a 3rd option lol.
@@TheCoasterJosh do you think this idea is plausible.
@@favroitetiger2351 I do think it is possible, but not as likely as the others, but id rather that happen than just zamperla alone.
The Zamperla -> Cedar Fair relationship will be interesting to watch the next few years
I agree! I wonder what is going to happen!
I would love to see the Zamperla Double Heart appear at few Six Flags parks such as SFGAm, SFOG, SFNE, SFOT, and SFGAdv
I think MACK has quietly & slowly made their way to the elite tier over the last few years, with coasters like Ride to Happiness, Project Exodus, & Beyond the Clouds.
In my opinion, Zamperal doesn't have a single coaster that's even mid tier, let alone elite. To be honest, I haven't been on a Zamperal coaster that I thoroughly enjoy, they are all pretty meh at best. Don't get me wrong, they are definitely trying to improve, but they have a very long way to go before I would even consider them a mid tier manufacturer.
Oh Mack is totally awesome! as of now zamperla isn’t even a mid tier manufacturer. I do think it will take some time that’s why my time frame in the video was a decade. They are steadily gaining traction tho with a new lighting overseas and the playland refurb among others.
@TheCoasterJosh yeah I think if they actually are redoing TTD, it will catapult them into becoming a really good manufacturer or at least it will give them some good notoriety & exposure. I think they will slowly get better & better as time goes one, especially since cedar fair seems to love working with them over the last year or so.
Intamin didn't start out doing major strata coasters. their first coaster was Jr. Gemini/ Wilderness Run. they were small potatoes at one time.
Maybe Intamin + a Huss type
The rumor about Zamperla doing anything with dragster is flat out insane! Think about it...... their biggest coaster is less than 150', and they're going to get the nod for a coaster that is over 400'?!?!?!?!?! It's insane on Zamperlas behalf, and even more insane on Cedar Fairs behalf! Come on, man...... I'm sorry, but would you trust a farmer to engineer hyper coaster? That's pretty much what you're saying when you say Zamperla is doing dragster.
Zamperla knows how to make reliable flat rides and has a good relationship with just about every company so why would parks not trust them to build a big coaster especially if they are offering a cheaper price than other manufacturers it seems like a risk Cedar Fair would be willing to take.
@@Nicky-Plunkett123 it just seems like a VERY big jump in size. It's one thing to build a 200' coaster. 400' plus is a whole nother story though.
I'm not exactly thrilled about it either but it's more than just rumors that Zamperla has the contract on this one.
@Spike I am not a huge fan of this either (I LOVE intamin 😂🤣)....BUT...If you watch some of the Zamperla interviews about the Lightning trains...he says we will be seeing them on some of the world's fastest coasters soon. I'm wondering if Zamperlas involvement is the trains?? If that's the case I wouldn't mind at all bc everyone that went to IAAPA has been raving ab those trains. Time will tell🤷♂️🤷♂️ FIngers crossed for Intamin to do the actual coaster tho!!!
@Nicky Plunkett key word in what you said tho is "risk". CP really cannot be taking anymore risks on this coaster. Like at all. It has been issue after issue. Can you imagine if the drop all this money and it goes wrong?? That's what's making me scratch my head about Zamperla is they are essentially saying "here take this MASSIVE liability of ours...and let's see what kind of prototype you can come up with".....it just seems like risks across the board. I'm hoping Zamperlas involvement is the trains.
They dropped the ball. Can't imagine CF will be willing to work with them on a big coaster again after TT2.
Actually, the trains for the old Thunderbolt models aren't terrible! Sure, they arent the best, they are pretty good.
I may have exaggerated a bit with those😂 however the new ones look much better imo.
I'll believe it when I see it. They have yet to make a single good adult coaster.
I could see the heart rollercoaster at great America where buccaneer 🏴☠️ battle is placed
Zamperla trains are very lackluster in design if I'm being honest.. Intamins trains are staples in Coaster world.
I read that Zamperla and Intamin are supposedly related.
lol not even close they have het to make a major coaster tats even decent
No. They are not. They will not. They can not. Sorry, but if you want "that" coaster, you want 1 of 2 manufacturers. Intamin, or RMC. Zamperlas biggest coaster isn't even over 150'.
I believe the double heart model is over 230ft if I’m correct.
@@TheCoasterJosh sure, but it's not installed anywhere. Hell..... I could design a coaster that's 675' tall on paper, and even make a sweet animation of it. It's just vaporware though, unless it's actually installed and giving rides reliably.
@@Spike-sk7ql that’s a good point, and is very true🤣🤣🤣, but I do think one of those will probably be installed eventually.
Not first
This title lmao no thanks
😂😂😂
First
Zamperla? Lol they are a clown show. I've yet to see a decent coaster from them
Although the puss and boots kiddie coaster looks sick🤣
@@TheCoasterJosh the one from yesterday right?
