Let’s Drift

The “Drifter” is the latest interactive ride in ZIERER’s ride portfolio. With an interactive drifting function, it provides a particularly fun ride! A total of nine 2-person gondolas are arranged around a customized central decoration on a paved or concrete surface. Each gondola is equipped with a control lever. As long as this lever remains in its initial position, the wheels of the gondolas are fixed and follow the main track during operation. As soon as the lever is operated by the riders, the wheels can move freely and a drift effect occurs. A maximum speed of 21.6 km/h is reached, while the gondolas can rotate around the central axis at a maximum speed of eight revolutions per minute. During the ride, guests are secured by individual restraints with hydraulic storage cylinders. With a ride time of 80 seconds and a loading and unloading time of 40 seconds, the theoretical hourly capacity of the new ride is 540 people. Riders aged four years and over and one meter tall are allowed on the ride (accompanied by an adult) – exciting fun for the whole family! Let’s drift!
