jray21 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have the opportunity to visit Brazil next week and want to hit up some parks in the Sao Paulo area (I'll be staying near Butantã, Caxingui(?) in Sao Paulo) I saw that Hopi Hari is open, but was wondering about the other parks in the area. Also, how hard is it to travel to the different parks in Sao Paulo (no rental car), and what about some parks just outside of Sao Paulo? Thanks in advance!

HeitorAntunes Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 jray21,  Let me see how I can help you ...  In the last july, the great park Playcenter, that's in Sao Paulo, closed forever. But they will open in the next year a new park in the same place - It'll be a family park...  Parks in Sao Paulo: (lol - just Hopi Hari theme park)  Sao Paulo Aquarium - http://www.aquariodesaopaulo.com.br/ The World of Xuxa - This park is very famous in Brazil, but it's childish. It is located inside a mall in Sao Paulo. http://www.omundodaxuxa.com.br/ Hopi Hari - for me, is the best theme park in Brazil (I never went to Beto Carrero World). This month, they're with the event 'Time of Horror'. It's cool. It is the largest event of its kind in Latin America. And it's easy you go ... There are buses from São Paulo (in a lot of places) to go to the park (HERE: http://www.reservahopihari.com.br/hopihari-reserva.php). http://hopihari.com.br/ Wet 'n Wild - next to Hopi Hari  In this friday I going to Hopi Hari and I'll bring photos for you guys!

jedimaster1227 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Â It is neat to see the park continuing to maintain and even update something as old and awesome as this Schwartzkopf. Between this and Walibi updating Turbine, it is clearly a good year for Schwartzkopf fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercrazy 9 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Does anybody have photos/videos of the new Intamin coaster? Haven't seen a update in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeitorAntunes Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 coastercrazy 9, Â The work on the new roller coaster is stalled. Due to what happened in February, the MR must be ready until next year. Now, the park is with the attention focused on it's new area, wich is the Justice League. The president of Hopi Hari, who I talked to recently, said that he wants the new MR ready in January. Now, we wait ... Â recent photos: This photo isn't so neeeew This photo is new!

coastercrazy 9 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Okay, thanks for the response! Won't it just get delayed further if they just let the site get flooded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roccos Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yes they have! They just did the foundations and stopped to work there to work in the "new" areas, because there's to many rides closed and they need to open them! We think this place that was flooded (this photo was taken in the raining time xD) will be an inversion below the level of the ground, that's why it floods!

jray21 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Awesome! Glad to see the project moving forward. Now to just put it in the ground and start building it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 So, I don't remember - is this supposed to be a Colossus layout or something like the 12-inversion layout that cycled around the internet a while ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 ^ Its the Colossus layout. Also for regular park goers, is the drop tower running again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I see Intamin is going to try out a new type of support system for the lift hill. Should be interesting to see when it's assembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Not entirely new, still interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrenata Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 No, the drop tower is still closed and it will probably remain like that for a long time. Â Rumor has it that the park is going to change the tower's restraint system, even thought that doesn't make much sense, since it was an human error that killed that poor girl . Â My guess is that they will wait at least the first "anniversary" of the accident to start working on the tower again. Â By the way, the pictures posted above are not new, they are from like 3-6 months ago. There has been barely no work on the 10i ground for the past 6 months. If nothing else goes wrong, this coaster will only open to the public in mid 2013, probably after the one being built at Chongqing Safari Park in China and maybe even after the 11i.

_koppen Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Intamin has finally released the layout for their new 10-inversion coasters. It won't have a Megalite drop into a turn, but it will be a new style drop, similar to an SLC. Â It will also be Triangular track for the entire coaster, except between the loop and cobra roll, witch In my opinion looks a lot nicer than the 2 tube track used on almost all of the previous ones.
