Canada’s fastest electric launch coaster of ThunderVolt has been launched at Playland, Vancouver.
The $18 million attraction has been constructed by Italy’s Zamperla.
The roller-coaster takes 12 passengers on an electric charged journey – propelling riders with 1.3 Gs of acceleration into an illuminated tunnel before going up a steep incline and then down an 18-metre (59ft) drop.
Upon its grand opening, Shelley Frost, president of Playland, commented: “It sets Playland up to thrill many more generations of British Columbians and guests from across Canada and around the world, making it a jewel in the crown of our organization.”
