A.J. Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 The ride could be designed and/or built by IntaRide LLC, which is Intamin AG's US facility.
ernierocker Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 I'm guessing California Screamin'. It has two launched lift hills, the ride was extended recently when they added brakes to slow the ride down, it's an integral part of DCA's skyline, designed in Europe, built in the U.S. That's all I got. EDIT: Oh, and the ride name has two words. Nope, Sorry. The ride could be designed and/or built by IntaRide LLC, which is Intamin AG's US facility. You are not on the right track. Is it in Va. No.

Here are the updated standings: A.J.: 4 Skycoastin Steve: 3 traincrossin: 1 atem122: 1 esvadj: 1 Schotcher: 1 Jerrykoala2112: 1 Edited August 29, 2011 by ernierocker
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Zurich is in Switzerland, the manufacturer is Swiss.
Nozzy Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 The ride manufacturer is Intamin, which is located in Zurich Switzerland.
A.J. Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 The ride manufacturer is Giovanola. They've built two hyper coasters in the US, and they've both affected their respective parks' skylines.
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 American Eagle at SFGAm. Two lift hills, two tracks, two words. Major trim brakes have extended the ride. It's a huge coaster on the skyline. Designed by Europeans, built in America (also red, white, and blue), and Intamin was the company who built it, and they are located in Zurich. If this isn't right, I'm getting a beer. That way I'll win regardless.
The SETGO Guys Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Is Zurich significant to the manufacturer of the coaster?
ernierocker Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Zurich is in Switzerland, the manufacturer is Swiss. Yes, but there is a little more to this clue than just manufacturer. The ride manufacturer is Intamin, which is located in Zurich Switzerland. They were at one time! The ride manufacturer is Giovanola. They've built two rides in the US, and they've both affected their respective parks' skylines. Hmm, were they involved as well???

A.J. Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 The ride was an Intamin roller coaster with Giovanola hired on as a subcontractor (like the Intamin stand-ups).
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Lightning Bolt! MGM Grand Adventures! Two lift hills, 2nd was an extension, European manufacturers, built in the USA, subcontracted by Giovanola!
ernierocker Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 The ride was an Intamin roller coaster with Giovanola hired on as a subcontractor (like the Intamin stand-ups). Ah, Intamin did use giovanola as a subcontractor on those!
ernierocker Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Lightning Bolt! MGM Grand Adventures! Two lift hills, 2nd was an extension, European manufacturers, built in the USA, subcontracted by Giovanola! Yes! You get a beer and WIN!
The SETGO Guys Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) *Somebody already won Congrats Edited August 29, 2011 by The SETGO Guys
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 It popped in my head randomly, I don't know why that took so long. TWSS.
Jerrykoala2112 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Never heard of that ride! Congrats, Steve!
A.J. Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Argh, I was really close that time. I didn't think of Lightning Bolt because it wasn't operating. Well played.
ernierocker Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 The correct answer is Lightning Bolt. Steve gets two points for guessing the correct answer added to his total earned in previous rounds. Here is the final standings: Skycoastin Steve: 6 A.J.: 5 excadj: 1 atem122: 1 traincrossin: 1 Schotcher: 1 Jerrykoala2112: 1 Nozzy: 1 Skycoastin Steve wins!
Skycoastin Steve Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 ^Thanks! There was a discussion about this ride some time ago on here, it might have even been guessed in one of the old contests in this thread. It always stuck out in my head as weird that they added a 2nd lift hill. Then I saw the ride name in the Giovanola list on RCDB and it hit me. My head hurts.
A.J. Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Well, there goes an hour of my life I'll never get back.
ernierocker Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Steve, Send me your mailing address to eric@themeparkreview.com so we can get you on the list. Thanks guys for playing! There should be another contest next weekend!
