A Whole New Level of Immersive Ride Experiences: The Dynamic Motion Stage 2560 1601 intamin_admin

Immerse Yourself in an Experience Unlike Anything You’ve Experienced Before!

Intamin’s Dynamic Motion Stage offers a new level of immersive storytelling with a highly dynamic and unique ride system. This ride will stay in your guest’s heads long after leaving your venue.

Experience the Dynamic Motion Stage

An immersive ride unlike anything you’ve experienced before. The main platform of the Dynamic Motion Stage is moved by means of four hydraulic cylinders with a centrally fixed support. The central support ensures a minimal clearance envelope, as the horizontal movements of the platform cannot extend beyond its edge. This means show sets can be built close to the guests and entry as well as exit to and from the ride is made easier with no additional infrastructure required.

The Dynamic Motion Stage is able to perform pitch, roll and yaw movements as well as heaving and dropping your riders up to 3 meters at a speed of 3 m/s, achieving weightlessness sensations. Each cabin pod has unlimited rotation and can simultaneously be superimposed with the rotation of the main platform (also featuring unlimited rotation). This allows you to have full control over the experience of your guests as well as let the guests interact with each other according to your story. The cabin pods can also perform tilting movements if desired. This combination of the overlapping movements creates a multidimensional experience with new, innovative sensations for a highly re-rideable experience!

New Levels of Storytelling

With this ride, your story can now be told on multiple levels. The primary is on eye level in horizontal starting position with a level below the platform as a secondary level, which becomes visible when the stage is tilted. Additionally, a ceiling area above the guests can also be incorporated, which becomes the focal point when the stage is tilted upwards. Through the ride system’s freedom of movements, you always have full control over where your guest’s attention is directed.

This ride offers possibilities for storytelling using physical theming, fully media-based or a mix of both. This makes the immersion even more impressive and puts the passengers in the middle of the action, the vehicles can even interact with each other during the story by turning them towards one another. Due to the seating arrangement, every ride is a different experience resulting in a highly re-rideable attraction.

New Water Ride Features
New Water Ride Features 2560 1440 intamin_admin

New Features for Your Water Rides

Intamin has developed new layout elements for its Flume Rides and its Rapids Rides to bring water ride experiences to the next level.

Upgraded boat designs, an innovative booster system for Flume Rides and special elements like a teeter totter, free fall track or steel slides sections on a Rapids Ride are some of the novelties now available.

Your Next Generation Flume Ride

Intamin’s 8-passenger Flume boat has been notably upgraded. The main improvements on the boat are the comfortable seats as well as the individual lap bar restraints, designed for quick and easy loading & unloading.

In addition to the upgraded boat, Intamin now offers a booster element which is a world’s first for water rides. This, optionally submerged, element is used to boost the Flume boat’s speed in a flat flume section and can be used, for example, to grab some airtime over a hump without the need of a down-chute before.

Intamin also has upgraded its V-Switch track element, which is now called the Swing Switch. The Swing Switch can now swing the flume boat from one side to the other into a backward section while simultaneously performing the backwards motion, so without requiring the boat to fully stop during the swing.

Rapids Ride with Special Elements

Intamin’s Rapids Ride received a number of new special elements which have not been used on a Rapids Ride before. Create unique ride experiences with one of the following new special elements:

  • Teeter totter
  • Vertical in-line lift with steel slide
  • Parallel lift with down chute
  • Inclined lift with drop and show waterfall
  • Inclined lift with drop
  • Inclined lift with floating horseshoe drop

The Upgraded Intamin Surf Family: The Surf Rider 2.0 and the Ultra Surf
The Upgraded Intamin Surf Family: The Surf Rider 2.0 and the Ultra Surf 1667 1111 intamin_admin

The Upgraded Intamin Surf Family: The Surf Rider 2.0 and the Ultra Surf

Intamin is proud to present the completely upgraded version of our “Surf Family” coasters: The Surf Rider 2.0 – available in two sizes – and their bigger sibling with an enhanced ride experience: The Ultra Surf. All of them come with a significantly increased capacity and are powered by the most powerful LSM launch system available on the market. They’re packed, and we really mean packed, with weightlessness and airtime moments.

After talking to our customers, Intamin decided to make important upgrades to the ”Surf Family” portfolio: We kept the fun ride concept and added improvements which are bound to satisfy both park owners and ridership alike.

The new, bigger, state-of-the-art free-spinning gondolas – now with 20 seats instead of 12 – allows us to achieve nearly double the ride capacity per hour. Due to the use of cutting-edge lightweight construction methods and materials we were also able to substantially reduce the weight of the moving masses at the same time.

A unique ride-experience – for thrill seekers and for families – provides an enhancement for every park. This, not only because of the abundant theming possibilities but especially due to the ride’s combination of power, compact footprint, capacity and last but not least simply the fun factor!

The Ultra Surf

The Ultra Surf comes with a large amount of weightlessness and airtime moments: It’s packed with it, not only attributed to the added airtime hill but also because of the two beyond vertical, ejector intense gravity stall ramps. On account of the free-spinning vehicles, the feeling of floating and spinning through the air is experienced in a different way each time, so you’ll want to ride it again and again. Lastly, with the shuttle-style coaster design on a compact footprint, you get an extended coaster feeling with up to 600 metres of experienced track on 180 meters of physical track.

For those looking to increase the excitement factor of the Ultra Surf even further, the optional spin-incitation will enhance the intensity of this new member of the “Surf Family”. Another measure to elevate the experience for both riders and spectators alike are the optionally available water features allowing for a number of different fountain patterns. Speeding through a water vortex tunnel, creating a water wall or riding right through a water curtain – the installation of these interactive features allows for a controlled degree of how wet you want your riders to get or simply allows for adaptions to the seasonal weather situation. These effects are not restricted to water, you can theme the ride to a number of other elements, enhance it with fire shows, add a fog tunnel or dedicate the whole ride to a fantasy figure – the theming possibilities of the vehicle and ride design of this iconic structure are abundant.

In the end, it doesn’t matter what story you want to tell, the ride system guarantees smiling riders leaving the station wanting to ride again and again. With its compact footprint, in consideration of being a signature attraction, the Ultra Surf is not only a perfect ride for theme and amusement parks, it also serves as a great addition for water parks wanting to give their visitors something really unique and special.

The Surf Rider 2.0

The Surf Rider 2.0 – a classic ride reworked to offer you more excitement for more of your guests. By redesigning the vehicle Intamin’s engineers reduced the vehicle weight, almost doubled the instant capacity and added a more powerful spin, guaranteeing that the Surf Rider remains a crowd favourite!

The Surf Rider 2.0 still comes in two sizes, both on a very compact footprint. One reaches a total height of 30 meters and the larger version extends up to 40 meters in height. A controlled spin incitation can optionally be added for an even more exciting ride experience. The most obvious characteristic of the nearly self-supporting, iconic U-shaped track is the two beyond vertical spikes – in which the vehicle surfs back and forth – for up to twelve unique moments of airtime-weightlessness for the riders. A fun ride for everyone, perfect for any size or type of park, indoor or outdoor, looking for a unique new crowd puller.

Intamin’s Innovations Built in the “Surf Family”

The Ultra Surf and the Surf Rider 2.0 come with all the features of the latest Intamin innovations: The vehicles use the most comfortable and popular Intamin over the shoulder seat restraints, which allow for a maximum feeling of freedom. Utilizing Intamin’s state of the art water cooled LSM launch system the vehicle reaches a max. speed of up to 95 km/h and promises a surprisingly powerful acceleration from the very first push. The smooth ride experience is also the result of a simpler and wider track design which allows for less supporting structure.

Top 3 Ferrari World Abu Dhabi Attractions are from Intamin 1300 730 intamin_admin

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi revs up to give visitors a high-octane ride of their life with the park’s top three speed-demons and ultra-exhilarating attractions.

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, winner of the “Middle East’s Leading Theme Park 2020” and the “World’s Leading Theme Park 2020” awards, is a thrill-seeker’s dream, with 43 rides, interactive attractions, and simulators that bring the turbo-charged “Ferrari feeling” to life.

Intamin is proud of having designed and manufactured the top three favourite rides in Ferrari World Abu Dhabi as reported by Attractions Magazine.

#1 – Formula Rossa

Reaching speeds of 240 km/h in a mind-blowing 4.5 seconds, this big, bad roller coaster boasts the title of the world’s fastest. Packed with 20,800 horsepower and the same winch system used to launch jet planes, it’s a scream machine that simulates the “F1-race sensation.” Tuck a towel deep in your pocket to wipe down those sweaty hands after your ride, because you’re about to be propelled 45 meters above the ground in less than five seconds!

> Go to project

Formula Rossa

#2 – Flying Aces

Count Francesco Baracca, legendary “ace of aces,” inspired the world’s first bi-plane themed roller coaster, and Ferrari World made sure it mimicked the hair-raising movements of the 1900s bi-planes. As if that isn’t enough, this beast of a ride has broken three world records, including World’s Steepest Roller Coaster, the World’s Fastest Inclined Cable Lift (51-degree angle, anyone?), and, at 52 meters high, it’s the World’s Tallest Non-Inverted Loop.

Flying Aces

#3 – Turbo Track

Riders will defy gravity when this monster launches them 64 meters — vertically — through a glass funnel in Ferrari World’s iconic red roof, ending with a heart-pounding zero-gravity fall. Need more? This demon has both forward and backward-facing seats so that guests can experience the launch in both directions for completely different sensations. Prepare to be petrified!

On April 19th, Heide Park Resort in Germany reopened Europe’s tallest and fastest Wooden Coaster “Colossos” after closing it in July 2016 for a complete refurbishment and an entire re-tracking.

Colossos returns and a gigantic battle between fire and wood begins!

At the entrance to the attraction, daring Colossos riders will be introduced to the new story with the new logo emblazoned above the entrance and a matching soundtrack for the fight of the giants. The colossal new structure is 25 meters high and appears to rise straight from the broken ground with shining eyes and blazing flame effects.

With a height of over 50 meters and a top speed of approx. 110 km/h, Colossos stands as one of the World’s tallest and fastest wooden coasters. With the two new trains, each carrying up to 30 passengers, a maximum theoretical capacity of approx. 800 people per hour can be achieved. Besides the new trains, Colossos also received a completely new track. Unlike traditional Wooden Coasters, its track was prefabricated, laser-cut in a factory to a high degree of precision and with sections designed to snap together like Lego pieces. Planks were tightly bonded in multiple layers instead of traditionally nailed together by hand.

Thank you to Heide Park Resort for the outstanding cooperation.

Theme Park Review 2017 Coaster Poll Results 1667 1111 lapala

INTAMIN is very proud to announce that once again, a number of INTAMIN coasters made it to the top of the rankings.

And we are even more excited that it is again an INTAMIN Coaster which is on top of the list: the 1st place In the category “2017 Best Overall Roller Coaster” goes to El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure which by the way is at the same time also the number one In the category of “2017 Best Wooden Roller Coaster”.  Not only this, but a total of 5 (!) INTAMIN Coasters are among the top 10 in this most prestigeous category.

INTAMIN’s Steel Roller Coasters are ranked among the worldwide favorites too – a fantastic 6 coasters out of the first 8 ranked Steel Roller Coasters are from INTAMIN!

Also worth to be mentioning is the fact, that some INTAMIN coasters were not included in the final results due to too few riders respectively reviews (less than 12). If those would have had more ridership, INTAMIN’s Triple Launch LSM Launch Coaster Soaring with Dragon at Hefei Wanda Theme Park as well as the Wooden Coaster T Express at Everland in South Korea would have made it to the top of the ranking too.

We are very, very excited with the results of this independent survey and INTAMIN would like to sincerely thank all the people around the world who submitted ballots to the poll and for their continuous trust and support during the past years and the many more to come.
