RC and Primeval Whirl not the same?

[Ilovthevu']

I am amazed to see that the two rollercoasters are not made by the same company. RC is Zamperla Twister, and PW is Reverchon Spinning Coaster. For the longest time, I thought RC was also Reverchon. I can't really tell the difference when I ride both of them. I really don't care for either one. Where's the jaw-dropping face??

Anyway, did you know that, and which one do you like better considering that they are made by different companies? The confusing and bewildering part is that they both have the same height, and length. So, what's going on? Are they part of the same company, or just imatators. On top of that, I can't find the Spinning Coaster on Zamperla's site.

Actually, I believe Zamperla bought Reverchon not too long ago. So they are the same exact coaster, but the only difference is who sold it.

Which one's older: Ragin' Cajun or Primeval Whirl?

[FRD714]

Primeval Whirl I believe.

Primeval Whirl is older.

Zamperla has a marketing agreement with Reverchon to manufacture and sell Crazy Mice mostly outside of Europe (they are identical, though Zamperla makes different cars now with individual lapbars).

Both run similar as they are exactly the same ride exept for the blocking system, Disney Tweaked thier's to run like 14 cars per track by making that flat track between the station and the lift a block/staging area for like 5-6 cars at a time.

And I think it's the worst or at least most overused spinning coaster design on the market. Maurer Soehne, Mack, and Gerstlauer are all vastly superior.

If im correct, Zamperla Bought Reverchon almost exactly around the time when SFgam purchased theirs... hence the manufacturer confusion at the announcement.
