PKI Jizzman Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 While checking out the new B&M X-Raptor in Italy, I came upon this little Intamin rocket also in Italy; I had never seen it before! RCDB has some facts and photos. It says it opened in 2009, but the pictures show it being built throughout 2008. The park's only coasters are a Zamperla Mouse and this ride! Seems like a simple, yet very effective coaster. Roller Coaster: Senzafiato Amusement Park: Miragica (Molfetta, Puglia, Italy) Classification: Roller Coaster Type: Steel - Sit Down Status: Operating since 2009 Make / Model: Intamin AG / Other / Accelerator Coaster Construction: RCS GmbH Lift / Launch System: Hydraulic Launch Length: 1312' 4" Height: 59' 1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 A few things: 1. Yeah, we were originally looking into it for our Europe trip, but too far and the coaster didn't look that amazing. 2. It's like a mini-version of Rita...not like Rita needed to be any less impressive! 3. Did Michael J. Fox shoot that video? Because I don't understand why it shakes so much for such a simple ride. Filmer must have had Parkinsons. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 It looks like a nice ride for a small, little park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I missed it last year because my friends decided to go to Miragica on opening day which was on a Friday and I was working. I like it. For that park it was a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Looks like a scaled down mirror version of formula rossa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrykoala2112 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 It looks alright. If something like this does get built at Michigan's Adventure, that will be fine with me. But it wouldn't be one of those coasters that will make me want to visit a park badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 The mini rocket coasters just don't look impressive without the inversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I want this in my backyard. A cute little Intamin rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 It may be small and it may be cute, but it seems like it would be a lot more fun than TTD or KK just for the fact that it does more than go up and come down! I know it's not 100mph or anything but it looks to deliver a pretty decent ride. It would definitely make a nice fit for a small - medium sized park here in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band-Aid Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 3. Did Michael J. Fox shoot that video? Because I don't understand why it shakes so much for such a simple ride. Filmer must have had Parkinsons. I thought he did a pretty good job Anyway, the ride seems alright, but I wouldn't go out of my way to ride it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6flagsbrad Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 How fast is that launch? It's interesting, I almost wish that could replace Xcelerator. Though I would probably choose speed over longer lay-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxegon Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I've been there. It's a good ride, fairly intense despite its stats. Trip report here: http://www.bannister.org/coasters/trips/2009/0529.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbear30 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 To be honest I think this thing looks a lot more fun than Cheetah Hunt. Too bad BGT isn't getting this instead. It looks to have a little bit of airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbear30 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Not at all....speed and straight aways are not my thing. I could care less how fast a coaster can go if it really does nothing. I was super disappointed in the videos for Cheetah Hunt. Yes, I know I haven't ridden it yet but just like Formula Rossa, it looks incredibly boring to me.

dragonskeep Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 In the to each there own category, I see a lot of airtime on Cheetah Hunt. This ride is cute as hell but not the Blitz for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least going in with lower expectations means you'll be pleasantly surprised when the ride blows you away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Dragon 1988 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I remember this coaster being announced years ago but never saw a POV or anything...thanks for posting this. I'm sure rides like this, Rita, and Desert Race aren't the greatest, but I sure wish there was one a little closer for me to try out. Oh, well at least Maverick and the new Cheetah Hunt probably blow it away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I remember seeing this a while back. It looks like a really fun, little ride. Anyone know what the price tag for this thing was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
