Loki, The God of Mischief, is Now is an Amusement Park Ride [Video]

Loki is a brand new ride in the new Vikings land at Drayton Manor that opened on the 28th May 2022. Loki is a Zamperla Nebulaz flat ride, the first Zamperla Nebulaz in the UK.

NebulaZ is a family thrill ride in which 4 arms rotate in fast intermeshing orbits. Eight gondolas at the end of the arms always remain upright, and riders catch air as they fly over the top of the ride! The hypnotic movement is as much fun to watch as it is to ride. The arms swing about horizontal axes in a circular motion while the central tower rotates around itself. The arms are synchronized by a redundant central gearing system guaranteeing their intertwining.

Here’s a first person view of the ride:
