I'm heading to San Antonio for the first time next week. I've been scouring queue-times and other sites to see if everything will be open when I'm there. I noticed that Wave Breaker went down this past week. I then saw on a few reddit posts and on parkfans that all 3 straddle coasters have...

Spotted on a Discord server recently, allegedly at Stakotra Manufacturing Plant: Main takeaways: -that is Intamin track -there are ARBs visible to the right (lift hill confirmed) -the track on the left has dense cross-ties (likely for a valley that pulls strong positives). I believe this is a...

Construction appears to be underway for what’s rumored to be a new scare attraction and a Zamperla Vertical Swing (Zamperla’s take on a Star Flyer) coming to the Egypt area in 2024. Additional landscaping for OzIris is also in the works. Source...

Not every day that we cover Skyscrapers in the theme park world but here's one :) A new 1,067-ft tall building is currently under construction at 740 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, near Times Square. It managed to receive the necessary approvals last year and successfully fought back a resistance...

I made Superman The Ride from SFNE as an RMC Raptor...

I've come back to this forum after a long time. This year, T-Express in Everland has been announced to be closed for 5 months this winter. This is the announcement of Everland official. Translation: Everland Facility Closure Announcement Dear guests T-Express will newly born. It will come...

I found this interesting interview with the current Intamin Executive Director about his background and experience. You can check the original interview (in Catalan) and find some additional pictures in the article...

Hi guys. The multi-launch coaster is becoming an increasingly popular genre of roller coaster, and two of the main players in this market are Mack Rides and Intamin. Mack Rides’ Launch Coaster and Intamin’s Blitz Coaster are two models that are frequently compared to one another; they have many...

Ever been in a crowded amusement park in 36° heat with no shade? Ever been stung by a hornet and had an allergic reaction where your arm swelled to twice its' size so you had to seek medical help in said amusement park? Ever seen a teenager try to punch a goose? And that was just our day at...

My bandmates and I exit Helsinki airport where a member of festival staff picks us up. "What do you plan to do whilst in Helsinki?" he asks. "Have a few beers, watch some bands, play the show, hang out, eat" they reply. "And you?" he turns towards me. "I WANT TO GO TO LINNANMAKI!" He laughs. I...

Hi guys. Intamin are arguably one of the most prominent hyper coaster manufacturers, with many great hyper and mega coasters under their belt; they've even made world award winners in the form of Bizarro at Six Flags New England and Expedition GeForce at Holiday Park! But surprisingly, CF...

Ah, America. Land of guns, flags and patriotic slogans on tshirts in IMPACT FONT. How I've missed you and your massive coasters. It's not usually the kind of place you pop over to last minute. But I was feeling very deflated when my bands big upcoming european tour in Feb / March got cancelled...

It seems as if companies such as B&M, Intamin, Vekoma and S&S have been around forever, it's hard to imagine what the industry would look like without them. I've decided to go back and discover what individual coaster put these companies on the map and why they still have influence in today's...

Hi guys, I was just thinking how B&M dominates the coaster market in different styles. When you think about models like hyper, giga, inverted, wing and flying coaster you probably think first about B&M. The interesting point is that B&M has competition to all her coaster models except for the...

Intamin appears to be working on their own version of the RMC Raptor... could be something to keep a look out for?

Hi everyone. New here, but have been enjoying posts for quite some time. I have a question regarding the headrests on Kingda Ka and other launch coasters, like TTD, Maverick, etc. On Stormrunner my head had to be held back, face facing the sky with the top of the headrest poking my head...

Six Flags have just announced that they'll retrack Green Lantern First Flight rather than remove it, to 'improve the ride experience'!

https://planningregister.ryedale.gov.uk/caonline-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=PRWA8YNOK8S00 This is the start of many projects...planning! These documents seem to confirm that an Intamin 10 Looping Coaster (same length as Altair at Cinècitta World in Italy) will be...

I doubt anybody will read this, but for the last month or so I've been working on a little project whenever I had the time. This is my first attempt at custom scenery from Sketchup and Photoshop into Nolimits 2. This coaster isn't what I think will be coming to the park, just what I wish would...
