Vekoma Rides also custom-designed a 453-meter/1.490-feet long Suspended Family Coaster at Fårup Sommerland in Saltrum, Denmark. Orkanen is the first coaster in Northern Europe to feature a tunnel under the water. The installation includes a single 20-seater train with the new lap bar design that takes riders up to the maximum speed of 75 kph/47 mph. The ride layout features a 120 degree banked horseshoe followed by high-speed curves surrounding trees and bushes.
GameRide is available with contents in 2D or 3D and features, as an option, the Alterface's Interactive Theming solution, a patented technology that mix decorative elements and video mapping projection to create realistic and impressive visual effects when guests are shooting the sceneries. Moreover, the ride can be upgraded easily over time to address audience wishes and needs.
Originally opened in 1960, Casino Pier, located in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, housed 38 rides, as well as a rooftop miniature golf course, concession stands and boardwalk games. JRA worked closely with the Casino Pier owners on the overall master plan, which calls for the boardwalk and pier to retain those rides that were salvaged after the hurricane, including the Disk’O ride, Skyscraper ride, Pirate’s Hideaway coaster, Sky Ride chair lift and several treasured kiddie rides. Casino Pier is using this opportunity to upgrade its ride mix with new family attractions and to refresh food, beverage and retail outlets. Phase I, consisting of the boardwalk and pier’s lower deck, opened May 24. The Phase II upper deck will follow next year.
Severn Lamb Managing Director Patrick Lamb said: “The resumption of the train rides comes four years after a derailment of one of the zoo’s previous trains so not surprisingly they looked long and hard at which supplier to choose when looking for replacements. We are therefore very proud that they chose Severn Lamb We have representatives based in the USA providing expert advice on our range of rail trains along with our other people movers, while we have also helped the zoo with operational training. Additionally, we have a dedicated engineering partner to advise on track and infrastructure projects and this results in all of our USA clients being able to receive a full tried and tested turnkey solution.”These past three years have been intense for NewsParcs.
