World’s highest and fastest Double Twisted Impulse Coaster “Legendary Twin Dragon” at Sunac Land in Chongqing in China successfully started operation.

With a physical track length of 251 meters resulting in 1400 meters of experienced track length and a height of 70 meters, this launch coaster has a very space-efficient footprint. The 360° twisted track spikes reaching up into the sky make this shuttle-style coaster most iconic.

Using Intamin’s most powerful LSM drive system, the suspended-seating train is launched forward into the spike element reaching a height of 40 meters already on the first swing. Once passengers have experienced the weightless airtime, the train performs a rollback, passing the station backwards and launching again reaching a height of 52 meters on the opposite twisting spike element. After the fourth swing, the train reaches the top height of approx. 65 meters. In total, riders will get to enjoy four forward and four backward swings, six weightlessness airtime experiences, thrilling accelerations and with a top speed of almost 120 km/h also real high-speed moments on this Double Twisted Impulse Coaster.

The 32-seats, dragon themed train of “Legendary Twin Dragon” with ergonomically shaped seats and the over-the-shoulder-lap-bar, ensures maximum freedom and comfort as well as highest safety.

Intamin is proud of having contributed to the success of Sunac Land in Chongqing.

On the 13^th June 2020, Futuroscope in France successfully opened its first roller coaster Objectif Mars a Family Launch Spinning Coaster.

Dive into the heart of the new space training center. Become a future astronaut and take the tests to measure your ability to go on a mission to explore the red planet while facing solar flares and electromagnetic fields.

It all starts in the waiting area where riders feel like being transported to a NASA training center. Clean white walls, yellow lines on the ground, astronaut equipment, robot voices and rocket sound ready for takeoff.

Once passengers have boarded the 12-seater trains of Objectif Mars, the journey starts after the countdown on the 500 meter track. Entering an immersive and interactive pre-show dark ride section, riders enjoy a virtual astronaut training with controlled vehicle spinning, before taken on their space flight. Once the train has passed the dark ride section, it moves outdoor, where a friction wheel propulsion launches the train. After the launch, riders get thrilled by a curved hill followed by a speed curve where the train reaches its maximum speed of approx. 55 km/h. Passing through the second launch, passengers will experience several more coaster elements before coming to a halt in a dead-end section. The most distinctive element awaits the astronauts, a 5 m vertical drop track, taking riders by surprise, before heading back to the station.

This Family Launch Spinning Coaster is not only highly innovative in terms of layout and ride experience but also in respect to the technology incorporated ensuring highest safety and maximum comfort.

INTAMIN is proud of having contributed to the success of Futuroscope.
