Powers Great American Midways
Loop Fighter
Powers Great American Midways (PGAM) has purchased a new Loop Fighter from Italian ride manufacturer Technical Park, PGAM owner Les (Corky) Powers announced to Amusement Today.
The spectacular thrill ride features a pendulum that rotates 360 degrees, creating a unique spinning loop sensation nearly 80 feet above the midway.
Seating for the ride is the same design used on Technical Park's Pegasus attraction, which allows free movement of warms and legs as each four-seat gondola spins freely. The ride capacity is 16 persons.
According to the manufacturer, the Loop Fighter delivers the same weightless sensation and G-force as its popular Street Fighter, but with the additional swing over and looping of random trajectories. Patrons must be a minimum of 55 inches tall to participate.
PGAM placed the order for the ride at the 2023 International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo in Orlando, Florida, this past November.
The single-trailer ride will be delivered in June.
