Anyone see the latest 'American Choppers' with the OCC roller coaster.
Zamperla’s MotoCoaster is a compact launched steel roller coaster that stands 44 feet high and features a figure eight style design with three layers of twisting and turning track. The single motorcycle themed train will race 12 riders through the 1,198 feet of track at a top speed of 38 mph.
The MotoCoaster uses a flywheel and clutch launch mechanism to accelerate the ride’s train from zero to 38 mph in three seconds. Zamperla is advertising the coaster’s flywheel launch mechanism as being a very reliable and an easy to maintain launch system. They are able to back up this advertising campaign with the fact that flywheel launch systems have been used on roller coasters since the 1970’s.
Bit slow but looks like fun
