Vialand (Turkey) Intamin LSM Construction

[rcjp]

Well at last some testing. Is this ride still supposed to open this year?

[DJeXeL]

That turn into the launch is aggressive. That'll be a nice rolling start.

[_koppen]

That looks really dope if you ask me!!

[GwaziBSRider1]

I like the inversion right before the brake run. This definitely looks to be one of Intamin's more interesting designs. Maybe I need to go to Istanbul!

OMG That thing really is using 2 cars! Whaaaaa?

^The crane over the tophat leads me to think they were just doing a pull through, but I could be wrong.

[FLIPDUDE]

hmm... well, I live about a 1-2 hour flight form turkey and im guessing it shouldnt bee too pricey to fly there... I could disappear to try it out for an afternoon and nobody would even know. o.o

Your mom's doing a pull through.

Video of the Intamin LSM in action, undergoing testing. It has 4 car trains.

Aren't those 4 car trains?

Whoops, thanks for the correction, edited my post. Some people earlier were speculating it was only going to be 2 cars.

Looks sweet. I love that it has the top hat, other elements and inversions and is not just a launch coaster with a top hat like Stealth.

That thing looks very intimidating* sitting high on that cliff.

 

* I realize that I just used an Intamin pun. There's no need to point it out, you silly coaster geeks.

[Mrlittle]

This coaster looks great and reminds me of Storm Runner's layout but bigger. Why does Intamin have to build all the awesome looking coasters away from the U.S. now?

[djboss302]

^because a lot of US chain parks are dropping Intamin. It sucks, but it's what it is.

[simon8899]

Looking good....

 

According to the website the park will close tomorrow for the winter and will re-open next April.

Yeah, it does, but it's hard to blame them for picking something like B&M since they are so much more reliable.

 

As for this coaster, it looks really good.

[FLIPDUDE]

Don't be sad that american parks are dropping Intamin... be happy for us middle easterners who are finally getting some well needed attention! Arabemirates notwithstanding there are hardly any coasters here better than a boomerang or an SLC, it's nice to finally have something cool in the area.

Thank god they are at least using 4 car trains. If they only use 2 car trains, US parks would say: look what Turkey got from Intamin! They paied a lot to Intamin but Intamin gave them something with a capacity lower than a mouse ride! B&M is the right solution.

[FLIPDUDE]

B&M's boring.

 

There. I said it.

 

Cookie cutter layouts that focus on things that look pretty but are essentially forceless.

 

There are exceptions to the rule, but I'd take an Intamin over a beemer 9 days out of 10. With the 10th being whenever they actually do try something new once in a blue moon.

[gerstlaueringvar]

^ You are not alone lol

[Baffles]

Yes, but your opinion is irrelevant to a park - that wants a good looking, high capacity, reliable, fun ride that will still pull in the crowds like an Intamin can.

There's an app for...wait a sec.

Nice to see they're using four cars (which is just one short of what they usually use in the accelerator rides) and I hope they will do this for their future lsm coasters too.
