VICENZA, Italy — Zamperla is saddened to learn of the fatal accident at Kishkinta Park near Chennai, India, which occurred on May 11, 2016 involving a ride called the “Disco Dancer.”
It is important for the public to know that the ride involved in this accident was not a Zamperla product. Zamperla, a leading manufacturer of amusement rides worldwide, devotes considerable resources into developing its unique amusement rides, providing the safest possible experience for the public.
The ride involved in this accident was an unauthorized, poorly executed forgery of the Zamperla design. Although outwardly appearing like a Zamperla ride, copies do not receive the level of engineering and manufacturing expertise Zamperla invests into each of its designs. Zamperla urges customers to only purchase genuine Zamperla rides and replacement parts in order to ensure the safety of their customers. Please direct any further inquiries to: [email protected].
