niiicolaaah Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Is it just me, or do the Italian Jobs just seem like b@$tardized versions of this ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Those pictures of the vertical loops side by side look cool before they were enclosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XII Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 ^^Maybe it will become Vekomaland! Honestly, I can't see any reason as to why they are removing this ride... It looked like fun, and with it being the best coaster at the park, they are definitely going to have less of a draw in the future. I mean, any other park would never take out their best coaster. PGA took out their best coaster for a waterpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Ah, that's nice to see, especially the blueprints. And I didn't know Intamin used Son of Beast style track for their loops back then. Ah, only 11 years, what a waste I think the loop structure might have been a Pinfari thing, I think this coaster was an Intamin built ride with input from Pinfari on the design, if I remember correctly.

dr.gumbo Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 /\ Yeh! You proberbly right, did'nt intamin have pinfaris help with Indiana jones at paris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishmaster Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 ^^ Perhaps the loop was based on the loop from Indiana Jones at DLP, which is an Intamin with the layout of a Pinfari TL-59. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure but don't think Pinfari did anything on Cop Car Chase/Leathal Weapon, maybe Intamin just build the same kind of loop as Indiana Jones becouse they hadn't invented the current kind of non-SoB-ish loop yet.

BDG Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 Indeed, Pinfari has nothing to do with either Indiana Jones or Lethal Weapon. Disney wanted the Pinfari layout for Indiana Jones, Intamin took the contract, Stengel designed it (and patented the layout, haha) and Giovanola built it. Lethal Weapon is Stengel-designed, Giovanola-built as well. As for the looping, that is Stengel's box track, first used in Schwarzkopfs loopers.

BDG Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 More photos... ( http://freizeitparkweb.de/cgi-bin/dcf/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&forum=DCForumID2&om=2454&omm=149&viewmode= ) Naked trains. The vertical loop came right after these holes. Demolition continues...nearly all the outdoor stuff is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
