Do you know Monte Makaya in Terra Encantada?

[RFV94]

Americans, you should know the Terra Encantada. In it, there is the Monte Makaya, the second roller coaster with the largest number of inversions of the world, are 8 inversions that will raise up your adrenaline! A unique design made by Intamin AG directly to Brazil. It is also in Terra Encantada you find Cabhum, the first giant drop of Brazil. Are 67 meters high, where you go down in free fall at a speed of 100 km / h. And not just out there, have the Corredeiras, which was the first river rapids assembled in Brazil. A large channel of 600 meters long, through which the boats with 9 passengers.

 

It is with these and other attractions that the Terra Encantada is formed. Come to Rio de Janeiro and experience the beautiful beaches, beautiful women and of course Monte Makaya!

I remember following Monte Makaya's construction back in the day through First Drop, the ECC's magazine, I kind of wish Collosus had the final Helix rather than the 2 extra in-lines, althought it is cool for it to be a record breaker, although the helix would be more fun than the pointless in-lines!

 

Nice setting for the ride too.

Yeah, Monte Makaya have two copies: Avalancha - Guatemala and Flight of the Phoenix - China!

While Monte looks like a really cool coaster, what I found most interesting in your link was this:

That looks like one awesome rapids ride!

^That is NOT an acceptable amount of wetness

^^ Ho-lee CRAP on that rapids ride! Maybe at some point, some company will build one where the rafts go over the falls!

But in Brazil, Corredeiras is the best rapids, believe! This ride is that the rapids watering more in Brazil, of course!

After doing some searching this seemed like this would work to ask here. Does anyone know what happened to this ride? Based on google earth's imagery from 6/13 it was still standing.

 

If it was scrapped it would be one of the newest Intamin to meet that fate, built in 1998. Linear gale was built in 1998 and scrapped in 2010.

Another Intamin bites the dust

Maybe it'll be relocated?

For now, all I can say is that it is not going to be scrapped (yet).

 

However, this is the land where coasters come to die (Deja Vu, Chiller, Intamin's 10 inversion...) so don't get your hopes up. If it ever runs again, it will not be in the near future.

Now it's official, Monte Makaya is being relocated to Mirabilandia Park in Brazil, still no date announced of when it will be reassembled and open again.

 

Terra Encantada park in Rio is now being fully demolished to make way for new comdos after several years closed and rotting away. Sad to see another park in Brazil ending this way. Some photos:
