RFV94 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 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!

andyuk200523 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBru Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 While Monte looks like a really cool coaster, what I found most interesting in your link was this: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kVmOhGImQto/Spmirbr33JI/AAAAAAAAC1M/M19w9PrdcEI/s1600-h/Corredeiras%20%282%29%5B3%5D.jpg That looks like one awesome rapids ride!

ebl Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 ^^ Ho-lee CRAP on that rapids ride! Maybe at some point, some company will build one where the rafts go over the falls! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFV94 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 But in Brazil, Corredeiras is the best rapids, believe! This ride is that the rapids watering more in Brazil, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkMaxim Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapfordakids Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Another Intamin bites the dust https://www.facebook.com/CahMenezes/posts/1014382131952209 Maybe it'll be relocated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrenata Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 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.

JLFG Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 - 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.
