Total Cost of Ownership: TT2's aluminum-milled chassis exemplifies Zamperla's commitment to a reduced cost of ownership. This design reduces the amount of time and money required to operate and maintain the vehicles over the life of the ride.
Cutting-Edge Construction: TT2 features carbon fiber elements, which dramatically lower the train weight. With the goal of introducing cutting edge materials to coaster design Zamperla partnered with a leading company that produces carbon fiber for F1® cars.
Wheels, Testing, and Compounds: The company went through several iterations of wheel sizes and linings before finalizing the design of a 530 mm (20.8 in) wheel, one of the largest in the industry.
Top Thrill 2 is the world’s first reimagined strata coaster and the fastest and tallest LSM triple-launch coaster. Thanks to the all-new linear synchronous motor (LSM) launch system, riders will experience three unique launches:
A forward launch at a speed of 119 km/h (74 mph), which leads into a new crowd favorite - the rollback
A second backward launch reaching a speed of 163 km/h (101 mph), climbing at a 90-degree angle on the new, 128 meter (420 foot)-tall vertical spike.
A third launch that clocks in at the ride’s top speed of 193 km/h (120 mph) and speeds over the 128 meter (420 foot) top hat before diving into a 270-degree spiral leading to the finish line.
In 2016, during its 50th-anniversary celebration, Zamperla made strategic investments in roller coasters. Six years later Top Thrill 2 stands as the symbol of the company’s progress.
Zamperla features a ride catalog of more than 90 rides and decades of experience engineering rides of all types worldwide. Some of them have become classics in amusement parks around the world. Over the past decade they have invested heavily in both team and technology: and now Zamperla has one of the largest roller coaster engineering groups in the attractions industry.
Zamperla’s Roller Coaster Business Unit has the in-house capability to design everything: from the famous Family Coaster to the world record-breaking triple-launch coaster in the world, the Top Thrill 2.
👨🏭👷👨🏾🏭👷🏻♂️
And a team that works well together can be recognized by the details. Here is the production team, ready for the challenges of a day at work, between assemblies, welding, and painting.
Every single professional is crucial to reaching the finish line!
The Twister Freeform allows young kids and adults to enjoy a ‘first’ roller coaster thrill together, and the spinning action of each car just makes it fun! It is meant to be enjoyed by all ages. The height requirement is: 105 cm (42 inches) minimum when accompanied by a supervising companion 120 cm (48 inches) or taller unaccompanied.
Zamperla’s First Twister Freeform is a key part of Cedar Point’s 2023 newest area, the Boardwalk.
No two rides are the same! The Twister freeform spins riders differently during each ride: the center of gravity is in a different place from competitors and offers a better spin. Guests love not only the fun layout, but the four-across seating also makes the ride a shared experience for the entire family or a group of friends.
The Twister Freeform has redefined the spinning coaster genera: it features a couple of switchbacks at the start, and then an exciting series of banked turns, and all of it is designed just to send you spinning out of control. It is an attraction for the entire family, and that is what your riders will love:
- Smooth track with great transitions.
- Individual Lap-Bar.
- Moving station allows parks to achieve consistent capacity easily.
- The twists and dives of a custom coaster in a compact footprint.
- 105 cm (42 in) minimum height requirement, 120 cm (48 in) unaccompanied.
- Ride twists over 400 m (1,312 ft) of track.
- Fun layout: the vehicle keeps its speed throughout the course, and the layout has exciting forces.
- Exceeds ADA: one vehicle features a hinged door that opens, allowing riders transferring from a wheelchair easier vehicle access.

When it comes to rider comfort, we rethought how we design coasters. We worked to make sure it is extremely ergonomic, guests with a wide range of body sizes can comfortably fit in our seats. In addition, we moved the restraint tubing way outside the head line: this means the space is very wide and you’ll never have head banging like in a traditional, over-the-shoulder restraint. The lap bar fits right on the upper thigh, which allows for a comfortable ride.
Talking about Cost of Ownership, two are the key features considered: the aluminum-milled chassis and the seat foam. The latter we designed it in several pieces, so that the owner can change out in a matter of minutes, instead of taking days to get the seat replaced and re-foamed by a third party.
The most important attribute is the aluminum-milled chassis, which is critical for a few reasons. First, it weighs less than almost any other train of this type on the market. Secondly, the chassis is one milled piece so there are no welds. This feature is a game changer for maintenance and NDT costs: clients spend less time and money taking care of their ride on an annual basis than both our traditional coasters and those from our competitors.
The Lightning vehicle also has different road wheels, made to be low maintenance and withstand high acceleration: they will soon be seen on some of the world’s fastest attractions! Whether they are looking for a standard layout or a custom design, the engineering team at Zamperla coasters will offer a solution that fits the budget of any park.
• Twisting vertical drop.
• Unique footprint that combines maximum vertical visibility with minimal use of ground space.
• Feel the rush of three launches: two forwards, one backward.
Lightning Train Chassis
• Mill-machined aluminum chassis
• Minimal welding on the main components
• Reduced total cost of ownership
Seats
• Ergonomic seats that allow for an open-air experience

• Easy to maintain
The turntable and train design also allow for a real hourly capacity of nearly 1,000 people. Each train has a wide seat-to-seat distance, which means guests can easily enter and exit the train. The restraint is designed to offer maximum comfort while not hindering capacity.
Seats shaped for parents with kids.
Ride action full of jumps, drops, airtime and bounces.
The Pump and Jumpz utilize our proven, reliable and clean pneumatic system.
