TyRush Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 This potentially could make it up to one of my most anticipated coasters. (Taron and Lightning Rod) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bf9 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 So does anyone know what kind of trains it'll have? I don't recall it ever being announced, but if this is a wing coaster I'd probably have to say this coaster looks like it's going to be nuts. Intamin is going to strike back next year it seems!

I don't recall it ever being announced, but if this is a wing coaster I'd probably have to say this coaster looks like it's going to be nuts. Intamin is going to strike back next year it seems! I'm just guessing here. But I bet it is just going to be the typical two across with 2 rows per car kind of train... Like Maverick, i305, Kingda Ka... ect. Most likely themed to a Ferrari. I could be wrong. But I don't think we will being seeing the winged trains on this coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I seem to have missed this, but when will the new rides open to the public? Was it 2016 or 2017? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually remember now reading some rumor about 1-1.5 year ago saying Intamin would build a large wing-coaster in the middle east. So it's not entirely impossible that it will get Skyrush trains, even though I think it's unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickstroberg Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm voting Skyrush styled trains, the shaping of the elements seems very consistent with Skyrush's, not to mention the whole "Flying Aces" theme is totally congruent with wing styled seating. Just baseless guesses though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 That would be awesome. The world needs more Intamin wing coasters. Skyrush's first drop is so intense, I could just imagine what this will be like. Maybe if this and Taron are successful next year, Intamin will begin to work its way back into the US.

dubaidave Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I have been told that a UAE newspaper will have an exclusive on the ride in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 ^Well it's about damn time! The coaster seems to not have as much excitement surrounding it. Taron was the same at first but has gotten attention for people. This one is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 With this coaster having a vertical loop in it, I'm much more convinced now the trains will be Blitz style rather than Wing style. Which is a bit of a shame, but then again who knows? Plus this thing will still have incredible airtime from the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Hero Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Everyone's focusing on B&M and RMC because they're in the U.S. and in the spotlight, when Intamin is secretly knocking it out of the park oversees. I feel that their return to the U.S. is an eventuality. I think it's not if, but when it happens. By the way I'm not saying that either B&M or RMC isn't doing amazing, because they are. I'm just saying the latest Intamin coasters are ones that nobody even saw coming at first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It is really unfair that Intamin has been blacklisted because of their little problems. Are Intamins the most reliable rides ever? No, but the problems are very overblown. Plus they are one of the only companies that is willing to push the envelope. B&M is an amazing company as well, but they have always been years behind Intamin in nearly every aspect. Skyrush was their last coaster installation in the US. Besides the complaints about restraints, it has been a very reliable ride and shows how far Intamin is willing to push limits of coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, it's not necessarily true that they've been blacklisted. Many of the US parks are simply focused on other things right now that other manufacturers specialize in. Also, there really isn't anything "unfair" about it if they had been blacklisted. If parks would rather invest in a product that's more reliable, even if it pushes less boundaries, then they lost that battle fair and square.

TyRush Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Personally I like that Intamin is off doing its thing right now overseas. They are coming up with creative and amazing designs that can show US markets what they have to offer, without it being new. I can't wait for the day an Intamin 10+ looper makes it way to the states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Hero Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) I can't wait for the day an Intamin 10+ looper makes it way to the states Personally, I'm more excited for the day the U.S gets a megalite, but that's just me Edited September 22, 2015 by Coaster Hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's understandable that parks are going to choose more reliable rides. B&M seems to play it safer then Intamin with their coasters. I do believe B&M is making a comeback though, especially with Fury325 being in a lot of peoples Top 5 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkFunk Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 People tend to forget Gringott's just saying... They only did part of it (the track was their primary function IIRC) and supposedly they screwed that up too and a bunch of stuff had to be redone at the last second. There's enough production model 8 and 10 inversion Intamins in the world that simply aren't that good and age poorly that I don't feel the need or care to see one built in America. Megalite, sure I guess - I'll just as happily take more Lightning Runs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
