Total cost of ownership

Our roller coasters are engineered to cost customers
less to operate and maintain

Over the past decade Zamperla has worked to minimize the amount of time, labor and money required to maintain our roller coasters.

Owning Luna Park, Luna Farm and other operations allowed us to create a better connection between our ride engineers and the operations and maintenance teams that take care of our coasters.
Below are just a few examples of the work we have done to change long-term ownerships costs of a Zamperla roller coaster.

THRILL COASTER

Our thrill platform, the Lightning, utilizes an aluminum-milled chassis and bogies. Welds have virtually been eliminated from the train.
This vehicle redefined the cost metrics for owning one of our extreme coasters. We designed the concept around the aluminum frame. It not only weighs significantly less than a steel counterpart, it also requires significantly less maintenance effort.
Owners have seen the largest change in the annual NDT requirements, which require less time, investment and labor than the competition.

FAMILY COASTER

One way we improved the ownership experience was to make systems on our larger coasters standard on the smaller ones. By utilizing booster lift hills and magnetic brakes we made owing one of our rides easier. Whether your coaster has a booster tire lift or a booster tire launch, our systems have been re-engineered to minimize energy usage.
Our small and medium coasters were improved with the introduction of milled machined bogies, which also reduced maintenance costs. The chassis is machined after at the axle connection points, brake fin and the coupling coaches to ensure assembly precision.
In addition, the bogie frames and all the wheel pins are treated with a salt bath nitrocarburizing process, which is a special procedure that prevents corrosion, increases surface hardness and enhances fatigue resistance.
