One of the most significant investments in Playland’s history, the ThunderVolt launch coaster, is now open.
The ThunderVolt carries 12 passengers at a time through a themed environment with extraordinary graphics and lighting that pulses as the ride system charges.
The three-car train blasts off with 1.3 G’s of acceleration through an illuminated tunnel, up a steep incline before an 18-metre drop.
The $18-million-dollar ride was built by Zamperla of Italy, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of rides and attractions.
