Pterodactyl - Zamperla Vertical Swing

[AeRo]

Yeah Terry, their is a travelling version in the country. I am sure that sir coastalot will give more details

Not themed as Dinosaurs...... I do not get it? Is this Pterodactyl or Monkey Puzzle Tree? Either way - cable car themed does not match a tree and monkeys in Chile or Dino's????

[AeRo]

It could be a Mingosaur

There's a Fabbri star flyer currently travelling the UK. James Mellors is converting a 220ft park model one to travel very similar to the one seen in Liverpool and Nottingham and another showman is building 3 to travel the UK as well.

So I assume Mingo is going with the "barely any theming" method. Just plonk a ride down and add a little colour? :/

If it's open by the 12th I'm gonna give it a go!

It will have a prehistoric theme. Ray is saying the tower itself looks similar to one of the supports of the Cable Cars. There's very little they can do with the structure itself.

And there is no such thing as Monkey Puzzle Tree. That was just a name that appeared on Wikipedia.

Only Monkey Puzzle I know of:

Ah right - well expected that. I do hope that they make a good job with everything else.

Monkey Puzzle Tree is a real tree though -

I meant Monkey Puzzle Tree doesn't exist as a ride or concept.

Nice to see the Kumali Rock

[jordan1232]

Any more pictures?

[AeRo]

That's it for now

[Sir Coastalot]

I think the rocks going for a stonehenge look.

[otwidalepda]

Erm... where is the pterodactyl? I thought this was actually going to be themed well. Take it I got my hopes up...

[monsterdan5]

They were rocks, as I thought. Yeah hopefully we see some more theming

[Sir Coastalot]

Erm, well considering the seats are 'flying' through the air they are the 'pterodactyls'.

It's not going to be amazingly themed but it'll be themed as well as any of Merlins latest flat rides.

[monsterdan5]

^That's true. We have to bare in mind they don't have the finances that Merlin have - its just good that we are still seeing investment Anyway theming aside this looks to be a pretty thrilling ride.

[Sir Coastalot]

The park is absolutly buggered after the family split year back it's a wonder they're even still going!
