Funplex, NJ | FunCoaster | SBF Visa Spinning Coaster

Just posted on ACE Northeast's facebook, and magically sailed under the radar of everyone until the Funplex posted it themselves. They'll be opening this to be named coaster Spring next year.

Nice find! Nothing like getting a new cred so close to home. :wink:

I'll be driving by there next week, so I'll stop off & take a look see.

I used to live ten minutes from the place, and I drive by it on my way down to Virginia. I'll be honest I haven't noticed it in the skyline when I was up two weeks ago, so this thing is either a) behind the Funplex building or b) got put up in two weeks.

I wonder if I can bug my dad's boss into putting a bid on it for the electrical work...

Is that one of them compact Reverchon/Zamperla models?

I'd say it's a Zamperla compact spinner due to the straight hill after the main drop at the front of the photo. Instead, Reverchons have a very uncomfortable double up at this point.

Caught a peek at it earlier today on my way to my dad's place. Coaster looks ugly as sin and still has a few pieces of track not in place.

RCDB says its a "SBF Visa Group", (who I don't think I've ever heard of!)

Oh yeah! That's the company that made that ridiculous Tower Coaster.

Here's a picture of its newer cousin's trains. I can imagine that there won't be much difference between them, and at least it isn't the older OTSR model...

^ That's a bit excessive for a spinning mouse!

There isn't a flyer out yet. But ACE NJ has booked an event on May 4th for ERT on this coaster. The price is $24 for members ($26 for non-members) and you can bring up to four non-member guests with you. Other exclusive offerings for this event are unlimited Lazer Tag, Mini Golf, and Bowling.

I'll post a link to the flyer if/when ACE posts it, or a few days after I completely forget about it.

A day event, and ERT, for a standard spinning mouse...?!

ACE NJ is odd at times, but it's cheaper than normal admission to the facility anyways :|
