Zambezi Zinger is NOW OPEN at Worlds of Fun
Entrance to the ride
The travel posters make reference to the 3 sub-sections of the Africa section of the park
Office in the queue line
Lots of Easter eggs on the bulletin board
themed crates in the queue area
Extended queue area
Seriously the nicest queue that WOF has ever built
The queue takes you on three sides of the spiral lift
The load building for the ride. You exit on this side and load on the far side
The safari jeep themed train for Zambezi Zinger
Heading into the spiral lift
Round and Round it goes
Almost to the top
Plunging down the first drop
The first turn around
Running back towards the lift
Swooping curve around the lift structure
Getting ready to vault over the railroad tracks into the back section
The back section is absolutely nuts with quick directional changes while staying extremely low to the ground. Fun things to look out for are three animals. You can see the zebra here. There is a rhino in the far curve
and finally there is a lion over by the fence. These three animals came to the park from Kings Dominion
Zambezi Zinger is a great addition to the park, but don't be fooled by the name - this is definitely not a mild ride like the old Zinger. It is also not that smooth in the back section, that was kind of a surprise. Looking forward to some night rides as I am sure it will be nuts
