Lift & Launch

Gold Rush at Drayton Manor offers a dynamic ride which will take you on a wild adventure through the history of the gold mining era.

In one of the two ride sequences, you will experience the lift hill both in the classic forward way but will, after a separate backwards friction wheel launch section, reverse the backside of the lift hill, stall, and launch forwards back down the lift hill again.

Afterward, a dynamic friction wheel launch will then propel you through close-to-ground manoeuvres along the rest of the exciting layout. The layout includes includes many low-to-the-ground elements that create a surprising and dynamic ride experience for the whole family.

Gold Rush features Intamin’s proven single-backbone track which ensures a smooth ride experience and offers an aesthetically pleasing design, requiring fewer columns compared to the traditional two-pipe track systems

Multi-Experience Ride

Additionally, Gold Rush is designed with a unique multi-experience layout configuration, enabling it to alternate between two distinct ride sequences at the flick of a switch. This allows the park to vary the ride experience, opting (for example) for one sequence in the morning and a different one later in the day.

On June 02^nd 2023, Sea World San Diego started public operation of its new attraction named “Arctic Rescue”. On this arctic themed FAMILY LAUNCH STRADDLE COASTER, riders are launched on snowmobiles and ride to the rescue.

This family-friendly thrill coaster features a total of three launches, whereas the passengers start their journey inside of the Wild Arctic exhibit straddling a unique snowmobile style vehicle. They will race through the Arctic and each of the three exhilarating launches is faster than the one before with a top speed of around 65 km/h (40mph). The snowmobiles allow for an exciting ride experience for each rider as they lean into banks and turns and whizz along a total of over 850 meters (2’800ft) of track.

Intamin’s Family Launch Coaster, as its name suggests, is a more family-oriented attraction, but at the same time still quite thrilling. Using Intamin’s state of the art friction wheel drive system in combination with a unique and highly popular vehicle design, this coaster type has proven to be an exciting variation on Intamin’s family of launch coasters. The upright seating position, in a side-by-side arrangement with two passengers per vehicle, in combination with the individual lap-bar paired with foamed seats, guarantees a safe and unique ride experience combined with a high comfort for passengers.

Intamin is proud of having contributed to the success of Sea World San Diego and would like to thank the entire team for the great cooperation.

SPECIAL TRACK ELEMENT
Drop Track

584 meters of track, one launch and one boost with a max speed of up to 69 km/h and a special drop track element take riders on a perfectly paced and complementary science adventure.

After leaving the beautifully themed station, the train enters a stone cave where an earthquake catches the scientist by surprise. This causes the cave to collapse and the vehicle to fall multiple metres downwards through the ground. Escaping the ruins of the cave, passengers then experience the first launch followed by a panoramic high turn, floating weightlessness over an airtime hill, curving through a highspeed S-turn, a zig-zag speed bump and finally jump over an S-hump into the second boost launch. Picking up more speed, riders experience a second part with twists and turns as well as ground-hugging elements over the hills and down the trenches through the beautiful natural landscape surrounding the research centre, where the expedition ends again.
