 Review of Power Surge @ Playland Amusement Park
0 Rating Posted by: Canobie Coaster on 9/17/2006 12:07:00 PM
APPEARANCE: Power Surges appearance was no different than any other Zamperla power surges. Also, I liked the light package on this one as it really illuminated the ride greatly at night.

WAIT TIME: Walk On- Like all Power Surges, this one had a good capacity, seating 24 riders per cycle, which was more than enough for Playland. Loading was a bit tedious, but nothing outrageous.

RIDE: I always love a good Power Surge, and this one is no different. Unfortunatley though, this ones base didnt rotate which ruined the ride a bit, but Power Surge still delivered a great ride. Like all of them, Power Surge provided a thrilling ride that was quite disorienting. There was plenty of looping, but some flipping was lost due to the base not spinning. Also, Power Surge has a relatively short cycle.

FINAL VERDICT: Though the weakest of the Power Surges I have been on, this one still was a fun ride and one of Playlands better rides. Sad to see this ride get removed.

Thats the reason why its not as intense (the base not turning). I tried it when the base was not turning, and its really not that great of a ride. However, when it was turning, it was truly spectacular. Too bad that park has the ride broke. You hardly go upside down when its not turning.

Too bad it got rid of the spinning.
