Zach's Zoomer, Wooden roller coaster at Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon, United States.
Zach's Zoomer is a wooden coaster at Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon that delivers thrills over an 80-second course. The ride has five cars arranged in two rows of seats, carrying a total of 20 passengers per train.
The ride opened in 1994 and was named after Zach Mark, grandson of park owner Roger Jourden. The naming honored a personal connection to the family running the amusement park.
This ride was designed specifically for younger visitors experiencing their first wooden coaster. It serves as a popular family destination where children and adults can share a gentler thrill together.
Riders must be at least 40 inches (102 cm) tall to use this ride. Waits are longest during weekends and peak season, so arriving early in the day works well.
The ride uses manual braking systems controlled by operators pressing buttons, making it uncommon among modern coasters. This hands-on approach requires operator skill and attention for safe operation.
