Dinosaur DreamWorks wanted a roller coaster that would stand out. We worked with them to create an iconic coaster that was the park’s focal point.
The experience begins when guests step into the comfortable Lightning train. Zamperla’s open, comfortable seating has become a hallmark of this exciting generation of roller coasters.
The ride starts with a vertical lift hill and near-vertical drop. In a matter of seconds riders go from facing up towards the sky to looking straight down and speeding towards earth. The coaster then flies through four inversions, including a massive vertical loop, before coming to a smooth stop in the magnetic brakes. The coaster’s footprint is long and narrow, which allowed the park to fit it in a corner of the property.
