A firm from Vicenza in northern Italy
has made the world's tallest roller coaster, now installed at an
amusement park in Ohio, USA.
The ride, Top Thrill 2, stands 128 metres high and sends thrill
seekers hurtling at speeds of up to 193 kph at the Cedar Point
park at Sandusky.
"Just call us ride makers if you like, it's what we've been
doing for three generations," said the chairman and CEO of the
Zamperla family company, Antonio Zamperla.
"But this project means an awful lot to our 450 workers, who are
enthusiastic that they brought onto the global market a new
generation of technologies in the design of roller coasters."
The ride has just been inaugurated after two years of work
setting it up at Cedar Point.
