IE Park/SOLI bumper cars for Asian theme parks

Italian ride manufacturer IE Park/SOLI Bumper Cars has delivered new bumper cars and tracks to two of Asia's largest and most popular theme parks.

The Thrill Mountain zone at Hong Kong's Ocean Park has taken delivery of new bumper car tracks and new cars from the company, the 27 Bumper Blaster vehicles supplied being the new, redesigned ‘1936’ floor pick-up model, featuring a specially designed head restraint which is higher than on the standard model, as well as new, larger and more comfortable polyurethane seats. This model now also comes with three point safety belts, polyurethane trim on the dashboard and is available with different options for lights and headrests. All the vehicles are painted in a metallic finish, as per the client’s specifications.

The new track measures about 22m x 13m and has a central aisle around which the vehicles are driven, in addition to a hinged opening section in one corner to allow for the maintenance of the cars just off the main operating area.

Lotte World at Seoul, South Korea has seen the installation of a new track on which an existing fleet of 15 of the company’s adult 'Charlie' cars is now operating.

These floor pick-up models, which also feature a specially designed, higher head restraint, were originally supplied in 2007 and have now been provided with a new track measuring approximately 30m x 10m following the park's decision to move the attraction to a different location.

Both attractions opened at the end of 2011.
