'''Zamperla''' is a designing and manufacturing company in [[Vicenza]], [[Italy]]. It is best known for creating thrill rides and [[roller coaster]]s worldwide. The company also makes smaller [[Kiddie rides|coin operated rides]] commonly found inside shopping malls.


Antonio Zamperla SPA was founded in 1966, while the American branch was founded in 1976.

Unlike companies such as [[Intamin]], [[Vekoma]], or [[Bolliger & Mabillard]] that concentrate on larger and faster roller coasters, Zamperla focuses on more family-friendly roller coasters that can be easily mass-produced, taken down, and transported to different locations. They are also a major manufacturer of flat rides with such names as: [[Balloon Race (ride)|Balloon Race]], [[Bumper cars]], [[Disk'O]], [[Ferris wheel]], [[Log flume (attraction)|Water Flume Ride]], [[Pirate ship (ride)|Galleon/Swinging Ship]], Sky Drop, [[Pendulum ride|Discovery]], Windshear, Tornado, Energy Storm, Z-Force, Mixer, Rotoshake, Turbo Force, [[Power Surge (ride)|Power Surge]], and [[Red Baron (ride)|Mini Jet]].

Zamperla also builds [[roller coasters]], like the [[Powered Coaster|powered]] Dragon Coaster, [[Junior roller coaster|Mini Mouse]], [[Wild Mouse roller coaster|Zig Zag]], and [[Flying roller coaster|Volare]]. In 2006, Zamperla announced [[Motocoaster]], a motorcycle-themed roller coaster.
