Luna Park Shares a Preview of Two Unique New Flat Rides Opening This Summer

At least two thrilling new attractions are set to debut this summer at Luna Park in Coney Island, New York.  The park has been teasing fans a bit as to what the rides will be, originally only saying they were brand new creations from Zamperla.

Now they've taken a step further and actually given us a look at the two new rides via their Facebook page:

This first one looks like a pretty wild family ride, which has a ton of kinetic appeal.  Riders look to be seated in cars that allow their feet to dangle below them, in pairs back to back.  There are two sets of seats each on four separate arms that all spin in a giant vertical circle, with the cars just barely missing one another as they spin.

Hard to describe, but the video does that pretty clearly.  The seats also look like they are able to rock back and forth, I'm not sure if the ride motion will allow for inversions at all.  Either way it looks like a pretty great flat ride that might give some awesome air-time once it is up and running.

The second new ride looks like an improved version of Zamperla's Air Race, only on this version the entire body of the ride moves up to a decent height above the ground.  As with the previous model the ride will spin while the cars also flip vertically in a circle, creating a disorienting experience, only now well above the ground.

This one is definitely for thrill seekers, as the Air Race rides have already proven to be some of the most unique ride experiences out there.

I'm looking forward to seeing these rides installed and opened at Luna Park - they have also shared photos of the rides being packed up to be shipped to the park so it should be soon!
