Lagoon amusement park, located in Farmington nearby Salt Lake City (Utah, USA), has invested this year about $2.5 million (about €1,9 million) in a brand new thrill ride manufactured by Zamperla : Air Race.
Air Race delivers an exciting ride experience combined with an impressive visual impact. It takes riders on an unique journey which replicates the thrill and sensations of an acrobatic airplane flight, with banks, loops, dives, and weightlessness that will test even the most enthusiastic thrill seekers.
Accommodating up to 24 riders in six four-seater gondolas (in two stadium row styles), the ride combines a 6 rpm rotation motion with a motor driven sweep undulation that provides the various multi-vectored sensations. The action takes place up to 26 feet (about 8 meters) above the ground, and riders feel the accelerations of almost 3G, right-side-up and upside down.
Class 5 over-the-shoulder restraints incorporated into the seats allow riders from 120 cm (48 inches) to participate. Several ride cycles have been developed to allow operators to adapt the ride to different target attendance and to attain a theoretical hourly capacity of 480 persons.
Air Race is one of the latest ride innovations launched by Zamperla. The Italian company already delivered one to Coney Island and an other to Aquashow Park in Portugal.
