On 18 October, Parque Unipraias in Brazil has unveiled a new Super Gyro Tower that has redefined the local skyline and promises to enhance the guest experience.

Unparalleled panoramic views

Standing an impressive 53 metres tall from the ground the Intamin Super Gyro Tower is an observation tower offering visitors unparalleled panoramic views over Balneário Camboriú, the surrounding natural landscape of the Atlantic Ocean and the lush local forest.

Situated at the very peak of Morro da Aguada and designed with a compact footprint to maximize the limited available space, this observation tower elevates guests to a height of 240 metres above sea level, making it one of the most remarkable vantage points in the region.

The air-conditioned cabin offers panoramic views with a gentle 360 degrees rotation, ensuring that every one of its 50 passengers is treated to uninterrupted and ever-changing scenery throughout the experience.

A vibrant touch to the skyline

The striking colour scheme of the tower, reflection Parque Unipraias corporate colours, adds a vibrant touch to the skyline, making it a new architectural icon for Balneário Camboriú. An LED lighting package allows the attraction to continue to shine in the landscape after dark.

The Super Gyro Tower not only renews the Parque Uniprais’ landscape but also enhances its reputation as a must-visit destination for tourists seeking unforgettable experiences.

Whether you are a keen photographer, a nature enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique way to appreciate Balneário Camboriú’s stunning landscape, the Super Gyro Tower offers something for everyone.

If you’re planning your next adventure in Balneário Camboriú, don’t miss the chance to visit Parque Unipraias and experience the Super Gyro Tower.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Parque Unipraias for their valued trust and partnership. All the Intamin team send its best wishes for the continued success of both Parque Unipraias and the remarkable new Super Gyro Tower.

3 new special Thrill Elements.

Intamin latest Flume Ride special elements are available for all. Inspired by the demand to excite and immerse guests with captivating stories and new experiences, Intamin team drew inspiration from its latest roller coaster designs to develop three exciting new special elements.

Diagonal Drop 

The boat travels along a raised flume to a platform that is set on guiding rails angled downward at 45 degrees.

Once the boat is locked in place, the platform drops diagonally, keeping the boat level, ending with a splash for riders and spectators. 

Swing Splash

Inspired by Intamin’s roller coaster spikes, boats move through a splash down section and enter a vertical spike element.

They then travel backward down the spike into the water pool to decelerate. Once stopped, a parallel moving switch transfers them to the next part of the ride.  

Bungee Lift

A vertical lift designed to elevate guests into the air and deliver controlled drops in a dynamic, bungee-like motion.

Custom programming is available upon request to accommodate specific narratives or preferred thrill levels. 

These 3 new elements join the Intamin Special Element available as the popular Booster and V-Switch, offering a unique selection to elevate a Flume Ride into something truly extraordinary. 

Discover these and more during IAAPA Expo Europe 2025, taking place in Barcelona from September 23 to 25 at Intamin’s Booth 1-928

“Amazonia” is now reopened at Bellewaerde 1224 922 Luc Richard

On April 5th, 2025, Bellewaerde in Belgium reopened Amazonia to the public. Our project team has been working diligently in close collaboration with the park during the off-season. Together, we’ve developed enhancements to the ride’s halfpipe section to better control the trajectory of the boats and increase the guest experience.

What is Amazonia?

Next

Amazonia is the next generation of the classic and beloved Rapids Ride. Plunge into the iconic Halfpipe, ascend to new heights with the Rotating Vertical Lift, and enjoy the world’s first Bungee Drop on a Rapids Ride — all within the same attraction!

Featuring unique elements and state-of-the-art technologies, Amazonia promises riders an unparalleled experience. Hop aboard the vibrantly colored Rapids Ride boats, designed for maximum guest comfort.

Amazonia introduces numerous innovative elements, some of which have never been implemented on a Rapids Ride before.

Amazonia’s enhancements

The ride has been upgraded with new enhancements to improve the guest experience. These enhancements were developed in collaboration with Bellewaerde throughout the winter season. Below are two of the primary ones implemented.

New Guide Rail

First, a guide rail has been added at the entrance of the halfpipe to control raft trajectory and increase the time spent in the element.

Upgraded water pump

Secondly, the team upgraded the water pump to increase water flow and boost raft speed on the final drop into the halfpipe. This also brings a new splash effect to refresh riders during the hot summer days.

Intamin extends its sincere Thanks to Bellewaerde and Compagnie des Alpes for their trust and collaboration in helping pioneer the next generation of Rapids Rides.

Georgia Gold Rusher delivers an unparalleled ride experience with a large amount of weightlessness and airtime moments.

Firstly, this is achieved through the airtime hill and two beyond vertical, ejector intense gravity stall ramps with 44-metres height. Secondly, the free-spinning, spin-incited vehicles offer a unique sensation of floating and spinning through the air, making each ride different from the last resulting in a highly re-rideable experience.

With its shuttle-style coaster design on a compact footprint, riders can enjoy up to 600 meters of experienced track on just 180 meters of physical track.

The vehicles feature the comfortable and popular Intamin over-the-shoulder lap bar, allowing for maximum freedom and comfort.

In addition, the Ultra Surf utilizes Intamin’s state-of-the-art water-cooled LSM launch system, the most powerful available on the market, vehicles can reach speeds of up to 95 km/h, and delivers a powerful acceleration from the very first push. On top of that, the smooth ride experience is further enhanced by a simpler and wider track design, which requires less supporting structure.

Finally, the ride’s appealing look is enhanced by a water effect that interacts with the ride, creating an impressive splashdown moment for both riders and spectators alike.

There’s only one way to experience the combination of launches, spinning, and airtime on the new Intamin Ultra Surf, only at Six Flags Over Georgia. Many thanks to Six Flags Over Georgia and Six Flags Entertainment Corporation for their trust and partnership.
