Have you ever been on a pinfari Coaster ?

I was wondering ,if you have been on one are they real good rides, are they very attractive for parks ?
are they very fast ? Are They worth waiting for ?

Most of the Pinfari coasters that I have seen and or have ridden were portable rides, either with a carnival, or in a small park. In my opinion they are typical of most of the portables out there today. Are they worth a long wait in line? For me personally, no. Schwarzkopf built a much better portable.

Looping Thunder at Oak's Park is a Pinfari. Not over 40ft tall, it's fun for what it is. Meaning that there's only a hint of airtime, and those OTSR can be obtrusive. But the fact that there is never more than a 5 minute wait gives it a measure if good will.It is compact, and dutchman is correct; Schwarzkopf did it better.

Has Anyone been on a looping Pinfari Coaster ?
and do you think that there inverted coaster will be better than the other pinfari coasters ?

I've been on loads of Pinfari coasters in the UK, including two looping ones.  I personally think a tight(ish) budget is better spent on a good flat ride, like a Huss Frisbee.

There is a pinfari at Delgrosso's amusement park in Tipton, PA. Most pinfari's are portable and travel a lot. The coaster is a Zyklon coaster which is very similar to a wild mouse. It had a sweet 50 foot drop at a pretty steep angle for that type of coaster..... it was about 60 degrees or something like that. The drop was the best part and the ride went pretty downhill from there. It didn't pack much of a punch. The funniest thing happened on the ride before me. The coaster is braked three times before the brake run and goes so slowly near the end of the ride. Well...... right after the third brake..... the coaster stopped completely on the track. The ride-ops were not worried at all and were actually very prepared. I think this happens very often on this Pinfari coaster because the ops have this huge 20 foot metal pole and they begin to push the coaster forward a little with all their might. The pole nudges the coaster down a dip and the ops tell the riders to lean forward to help move the coaster along to the end of the ride. It was hilarious..... I was cracking up.

My only one has been a portable one at Lake Winnepesaukah called the Wacky Worm, nothing looping

At the Ohio State Fair they had The Looping Star by Pinfari, obviously everyone wanted to ride it because it did one vertical loop. Well, I had to ride it to.........lol.

They didn't have it this year though, but last year they did.

ACE15, when Belmont Babe was at DelGrosso's last month they didn't even get out the poles. She's sitting in the stalled car and they tell her and the other riders to rock the car back and forth to get it moving. Guess they didn't want  to push the adults.

ohio state fair had a small Pinfari Zyklon wild mouse type coaster this year, didn't ride it though

but they had the Looping Star last year

There's loads of Pinfaris in the UK, mostly the ZL42 looper..(someone correct me about that model!).- Camelot/ Drayton Manor/ Brighton Pier/ Ocean Park Rhyl.....Its generally a pretty nippy ride, if a bit jerky, but for footprint and cost, great for small parks....there's a few non looping rides to, one in (sort-of) darkness at Flamingoland.....great as an extra, not really worth any journeys though.
