DoubleDown Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 ^Great analysis! Love hearing that kind of perspective. Let's hope so! Here's to Intamin making a splash in the United States with some awesome unique coasters! Enough of this 300 foot boring B&M forceless floater air bullshit! I want an Intamin to kick my ass like RMC has done with Twisted Colossus! Looks fantastic so far! My only question is, why all white paint again like Formula Rossa? I'd imagine it really comes down to cost more than anything. Being in a desert climate, any other color would rapidly fade with the relentless sunlight/dust storms etc and add a considerable amount of maintenance if they want it to look good. Ahh, that's what I thought. If Tatsu over in California looks bad, anything with a decent paint job in the UAE's heat would fade very quickly Well let's not jump to conclusions. After repainting X2 with a different mix of paint, I'd have to say that rides paint job has held up pretty well over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I305forever Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 ^^ Intamin! Make a splash! Aquatrax confirmed!!! ^ Leviathan does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 ^^ Intamin! Make a splash! Aquatrax confirmed!!!^ Leviathan does not. Where is an Aquatrax confirmed for? I don't recall seeing anything about one, locally at least.. I have not had the opportunity to ride Leviathan yet, though I hope to before long. It definitely sounds like they must have improved on it greatly with Fury, however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaster1227 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 This looks like another great Intamin ride for a park that is definitely on my theme park bucket list! I can't wait to see the finished product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Did Stakotra make this type of track for Intamin? If they did there is indeed a slight possibility that this is a Premier Rides coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumFreak25 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 In theory it could be premier designed, but that's definitely intamin track. Plus it has a lift hill and premier has never made a non luanched coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 In theory it could be premier designed, but that's definitely intamin track. Plus it has a lift hill and premier has never made a non luanched coaster. Um, yes they have. Those construction photos definitely look like Skyrush / Intimidator style track though, because Premier typically makes their double spine look like a single, taller one. Maybe a misprint?

You're calling such rides as Monty, Katun, Banshee, Diamondback, Rougarou, Nitro, Apollos Chariot, and the Batman clones "forceless"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickstroberg Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 ElectricUncleSam-The vast majority of the B&M's you just listed off are early creations of theirs. All the newer B&M's are pretty accepted as being ALOT less forceful than all the coasters you just listed. They don't build them like Kumba or Monty anymore. Where I wouldn't say that their new coasters are "forceless", I'd say that the forces are much less extreme than the rides from their golden years. In fact, the only new coaster of theirs that you put in your list is Diamondback, which some say was one of their last great hypers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medoman Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Quick question - I plan to visit Ferrari world en route to Japan next month, my flight gets in to Abu Dhabi early and leaves about 2230. What would be the best way to get to Ferrari world and back from the airport? Was thinking of a taxi, but am worried there wouldn't be any taxis there to take me back from the park. Would I be better to rent a car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Will be loads of taxis. Don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAngel94 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Construction is going on NOT for Flying Aces but for the supposed Halfpipe! Red Track on a Crane! And concrete support on the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I wonder if it'll be an Intamin half-pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydra Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 That red track looks an awful lot like Premier track. Like the Sky Rocket II models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It could very well be one of these too, which uses a double spine type of track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkFunk Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I get the sense that Ferrari World hasn't been doing crazy business. Still, how busy can I expect it (or Yas Waterworld) to be on a weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
