Overview
Air Race is a Zamperla Air Race 6.4 model, designed to mimic the maneuvers of an acrobatic airplane. The ride features six rotating arms, each supporting a four-seat airplane-themed gondola, allowing up to 24 riders per cycle. During operation, the arms rotate around a central axis while the gondolas perform flips, banks, and dives, reaching a maximum height of approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters). Riders experience forces up to 3Gs, delivering a sensation akin to that of a stunt pilot.
Reception
Since its debut, Air Race has been well-received by park visitors, praised for its unique combination of spinning and flipping motions that deliver an intense yet enjoyable experience. Its relatively compact footprint, coupled with high-thrill elements, has made it a standout attraction in Lagoon's diverse ride lineup.
