Did Intamin ever build a B&M style invert?

What coaster is it at the bottom left?

[deathbydinn]

Euro Star, was a traveling inverted coaster, now off the circuit and operating at Gorky Park. http://www.rcdb.com/4242.htm

I'm sure the reason Intamin doesn't build more is simply because B&M does them better.

[RollerCoasterSmi]

^ Or because less parks demand Intamin inverts?

Also, don't forget that when B&M first started they supplied a few coasters to Intamin.

How interesting, never knew about these.

It seems Intamin ripped-off B&M in Euro Star with a box track and 4 abreast seating. Also, Intamin seems more interested in launched inverts since there is much more demand.

^^^ That's because they first started out working for Giovanola....

That wasn't an Intamin-designed coaster, it was Giovanola. Know what you're talking about before you speak out of your ass.

Aside from their shuttle coasters, Intamin has only ever built one custom launched invert, and that was 13 years ago. WTF are you even talking about???

I would assume he meant the Impulse inverts. Intamin did seem to do quite a brisk trade with those, Although perhaps its slowed a bit now

I quite like both the non launched Intamin Inverts (Tornado and Tornado ), I think its a pity that they haven't been picked up by a few more parks.

It would be so epic if we would se an inverted Intamin Blitz coaster, with multiple launches, low to the ground turns and a big loop or two. One can dream..

^ As much as Tornado and Tornado ( ) are good rides, I never really understood their layouts. I love the barrel rolls but the rides don't seem to have amazing 'flow' like the beemers, if you know what I mean.

[DBru]

Whoa. Euro Star has a double-corkscrew?

 

That's cool.

IIRC, Giovanola actually owned the patents on the box track design/fabrication process.
