So they have a czech one too?

I don't know what difference the origin of the manufacturer makes - but i'll assume german engineering vs czech engineering has something to do with it.

I don't know much about travellers either, but i know to avoid mexican and chinese versions (thanks RideAccidents.com)

Compare a Funtime Sky Flyer to a Czech one.... even compare them to a Zamperla flyer.

The ultimate machines are the Funtime models, rode Jules Verne Tower this year and it was INCREDIBLE! 80m travelling model.

You still haven't told us "why it matters" as a rider of this temp ride.

I believe the manufacturer is either AK Rides or Funlight, but I can't figure out if these are both the same company, and just trading under different names. The ride is of course safe, but the build quality is much different and cheaper than other manufacturers. It's not a massive deal, but in my experience, the Czech rides are more prone to breakdowns, systems tripping out, etc.

I was on the first ride of the day on it. Ride was over so fast you spin at the top for 30seconds and it’s all over, you can see half the park from the top so if they do get a permanent model I would hopeful of a 60metre version. Only negative was it has a  height restriction of 120 cm which is higher then the storm coaster 110cm so it’s not really a family ride.

 

On other news I when on the jet rescue coaster seem to run a lot fast and I have to give them credit the track was like new paint was great unlike many coasters at movie world that need paint jobs (green lantern)
