Zambezi Zinger is a wooden roller coaster located at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri, United States.
[1] It became one of the most popular rides among guests and operated until 1997, when it was removed and relocated to Parque del Café in Colombia, reopening as Montaña Rusa in 1999.
[1] For its 50th anniversary, Worlds of Fun made the decision to add a new roller coaster to its ride lineup that would pay homage to original Zinger as a "nostalgic nod to the past".
[2] The reimagined version was designed to feature some similarities to the original, including a spiral lift hill, a mid-course tunnel, and the same line queue building with revamped theming.
[4][5] The park began offering occasional rides to the public as early as June 10, upsetting raffle winners of the coaster's "First Riders Experience", which was postponed indefinitely.
