The Orange County Choppers MotoCoaster is a Zamperla Motocoaster installed at Darien Lake. The MotoCoaster is Darien Lake's first launched coaster, and is Zamperla's first motorbike roller coaster to be installed in the United States, though a different model with horse theming is being installed at Knott's Berry Farm at the same time.
The coaster being installed is the same one that has been prototyped outside Zamperla's factory in Italy.
The roller coaster was announced in January 2008 and opened on May 3, 2008.
The MotoCoaster is located near the Darien Square area of the park, between Boomerang and Twister.
The ride is named after Orange County Choppers, which will build a custom motorcycle inspired by the ride and the park.
