Marina Park | Red Fire | Intamin Blitz Coaster

Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched

^I agree. Maybe a bit more like that new-ish one in the other Turkey park though?
 
Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched

The visible elements on that picture are pretty much identical to iSpeed, so I say it's a clone.
 
Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched

What's iSpeed like to ride? Is it as terrible as the name?
 
Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched

From what I hear, its like a mix of Maverick and Xcelerator. Intense, quick, and fast.

Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched

^^Like GWAS said, it's main appeal is its speed and high intensity. It does have a great moment of airtime over the camelback after the top hat, but there's not much after that. I personally really like it, although I found the Intamin restraints burdenous at times on what is such as twisty layout.

Oh and on a second look, the ride does actually look more like iSpeed than the one at Vialand.
 
Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched

From that picture I'll say it's a clone. One question, seeing the trend with latest Intamin rides, could we see lapbars on this one?
 
Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched

It's definitely a clone, question is if it's downscaled or not? :p

I'd say this will defiantly see lapbars only!
 
Re: Marina Park | unknown | unknown launched

Pull through is currently under way.

The ride is also called Red Fire which is kind of amusing.
 
^ I completely agree. The only downside of iSpeed are those horrid restrains. It could actually be quite a favourite coaster contender if I ever get around to riding it.
 
iSpeed with lap bars, now there's an interesting concept. I could never get past the neck pain from the restraints to really appreciate iSpeed.

Turkey is quickly moving up my list of possible destinations for the next couple of years.
 
The iSpeed clone looks mackin. I can only wish all other Intamin Blitz/Accelerator/Giga coasters with OTSRs be refitted with those lap restraints.

They can't. The seats on the new Intamin trains are wider apart to accommodate the new lapbar , so older trains can't be converted.
 
This thing flys round the track :)
Going to be awesome with lap bars

POV of both Red Fire and the family coaster has surfaced and it looks like the latter is an updated version of Mine Train Ulven at Bakken!
