Like many companies, Zamperla took
time during COVID-19 to look at their current ride portfolio and address ways to make improvements and enhancements at all levels. “As ride manufacturers, we believe we
create ride experiences for a wide variety of guests, but our partnership with Give Kids The World has been eye-opening for all of us,” Sandy adds. “Zamperla has supported the Village for many years and donated wheelchair accessible rides for the wish children staying there. This relationship has allowed us to better understand limitations and barriers to accessibility, the process of transferring onto a ride, and the overall guest experience. We have been applying that insight to everything we do.” Sandy explains that the COVID-19
shutdown allowed the Zamperla team to think differently about the company’s entire approach to the ride design and installation process. They took the opportunity to look at their existing ride collection, as well as designs for upcoming new products, to examine ways to provide greater accessibility for guests with varying abilities. The Sidewinder Safari features a new, unique 5-point harness, which allows
a wider range of guests to ride than many coasters. The Zamperla team was excited to share the added accessibility options on the ride vehicles with Six Flags, which allows for guests with physical challenges that would prevent them from riding other attractions to ride the Twister Coaster. To date, Zamperla is only one of two global manufacturers using this harness system on their rides. While guests are enjoying Sidewinder Safari, and the other fun-filled rides

Zamperla has opened around the world this year, the company remains forward-focused. “2023 has been one of our biggest in our 56-year history,” says Sandy. “As
we continue to grow our coaster division and enhance the products we have long been known for, we are also building and shaping new partnerships. In the coming months, we will be announcing new rides with partners that have not been associated with Zamperla. We will be introducing many new enhanced uses of technology and new products we know will surprise the industry as we continue to move forward, providing incredible rides for guests of all ages and abilities.”
