The Twister Coaster, or Twistosauarus, appears as part of a new Jurassic- themed area of Flamingo Land called Dino-Stone Park. The attraction features 575ft (175m) of track and travels up to 26ft (8m) above the ground. Equipped with a single train of four egg-shaped cars, it can accommodate passengers as short as 1.05m. Also featured as part of Dino-Stone is a Zamperla Magic Bikes ride called Cyclosaur (pictured top right). Other coasters at Flamingo Land include Kumali (Vekoma Suspended
Monorail for Thomas Land
Drayton Manor Theme Park has opened a new ride from Zamperla to celebrate the fifth anniversary of its Thomas Land kids area. The £750,000 ($1.15m/€875,000) Winston’s Whistle Stop Tour is based on the Thomas & Friends character Winston, the Fat Controller’s inspection vehicle. Featuring a 195-metre-long track, the monorail ride gives passengers a bird’s eye view of Thomas Land as it travels between 3.5 and 4m above the ground. Each of the seven 4-seater trolley cars features an audio system that give riders a guided tour around the town of Sodor.
Drayton Manor is located near the town of Tamworth, Staffordshire. Zamperla also manufactured many of Thomas Land’s existing family rides. Pictured here are the park’s managing director Colin Bryan, Thomas & Friends narrator Mark Moraghan and The Fat Controller.
