Nah Ray probs hit it spot on. Its FL they've gone from Vekoma land to Zamperla land now. As much as I really, really don't to see a Volare they're supposed to be THE worst coasters going so rough and painful! I'd much rfather see a Vekoma or a compact B&M intense flyer.

This is an issue I see. I would love to see a flying coaster - I said they should get one ages ago as part of Swoosh! But now it seems to go in Metropolis it wont fit and Swoosh! will always look small and unfinished and too close to a prehistoric land!!!!! An this also makes me feel that the IP deal has fallen through :cry

I'm confused. The original post says this ride is for both sites. Where exactly is this rumoured ride supposed to be?

Well said the last two posters. Zamperla stuff is generally quite tacky, rough and unreliable. Vekoma is the manufacturer of choice now, surely.

Same here, I like the sound of a similar ride to air, a Vekoma not a tacky Zamperla, the park will be full of Zamperla's !!

Its just all tacky, ugly, unproven, low capacity tat really, although the current Zamperla stuff is okay, but nothing else is needed from them. Vekoma or Intamin makes more sense surely.

It should only be 'prime' for an awesome big ride which fits a theme! The whole of Metropolis needs a brand new theme and sort out!

Zamperla are generally okay for flat rides for a park like Flamingo Land, but large scale coasters are a massive no-go.

After three years of relatively small investments, I am hoping the next major attraction to arrive is of a high quality.

I would like to see the Primeval theme taken on through maybe a dark ride where driving school is something dark. A bit more Adult than some of the recent addictions to the park.
