The story of Zadra
For the visitor arriving in Zator, Zadra was presented as a new great work for Energylandia’s 2019 season. The park’s own material described a hybrid construction of wood and steel, with a steel track carried through a broad timber frame. energylandia.pl
The undertaking was substantial. Energylandia said the work lasted from November 2018 to August 2019, involved more than three hundred people, and drew its yellow pine from Georgia before the wood crossed the sea to Europe and came on to Poland by land. energylandia.pl
There was difficulty before the ribbon was cut. During construction, a strong March storm damaged part of the unfinished structure, yet the project recovered and the ride opened on 22 August 2019, ahead of the spring 2020 debut that had once been expected. ridewithace.com· coasterpedia.net
Industry notice followed quickly. Amusement Today reported that Zadra set a new height mark for Rocky Mountain Construction and described it as the company’s first from-the-ground-up I-Box hybrid creation, rather than a reworking of an older wooden coaster. amusementtoday.com
