After just one month since opening to the public, Falcons Flight at Six Flags Qiddiya City has soared straight to the top of Captain Coaster’s global ranking – where riders and coaster enthusiasts from around the world contribute with their votes, ratings, and reviews. Captain Coaster ranks among the most popular roller coaster rating systems, with 20,000 users and over 600,000 ratings.

This achievement is especially meaningful because Falcons Flight is not only breaking all three records but has already become a fan‑favorite ride experience, praised for the uniqueness of the experience that many describe as “once‑in‑a‑life”. Indeed, maintaining high speed and the impressive drop from the cliff leading directly to a 250 km/h launch are highlighted as the unique elements that set Falcons Flight apart.

We sincerely value the positive reception and support Falcons Flight has received from guests, and we are very thankful for such encouraging feedback. A heartfelt thank you to everyone for the amazing reviews and all the supportive messages we’ve received. And congratulations to Six Flags Qiddiya City for reaching this exciting milestone together.

With a longstanding partnership with Intamin, Dreamworld opened its brand-new Gyro Swing, King Claw, on December 12, 2025.

Replace a beloved ride

In 2004, Dreamworld  introduced its first Gyro Swing, “The Claw,” a 27-meter-high, first-generation Intamin Gyro Swing that remained a guest favorite for years.

After 20 years of successful operation, The Claw has retired beginning of 2025  to make way for a 50% higher, more advanced version – delivering a modern ride experience and increased capacity.

Built on the site of the original “The Claw”, King Claw features a 25-meter-long arm that reaches a maximum height of 42 meters at a 120-degree angle, providing riders with moments of complete weightlessness at the peak of each swing and making it the southern hemisphere’s largest Gyro Swing.

The gondola gently rotates, ensuring a dynamic ride experience with every swing. Each of the 40 passengers enjoys comfortable, suspended seating secured by a proven restraint system without upper-body restrictions. Despite its thrilling appearance, the Gyro Swing appeals to a wide range of guests and is considered the world’s best flat ride by many fans and visitors.

Sustainable solution

King Claw is equipped with a state-of-the-art direct drive system, recognized as the most powerful on the market, resulting in an exceptionally smooth and dynamic ride. Intamin has refined this technology over the years, allowing for significant noise reduction from the direct-drive power unit.

Additionally, the drive system enables the recovery of up to 40% of the energy needed to operate the ride, leading to substantial energy savings and reduced operational costs – making King Claw a sustainable investment for the park.

An impressive and picturesque ride

Boasting a vibrant blue color scheme, a custom-themed medallion designed by the Dreamworld Creatives team, and the captivating movements unique to Gyro Swings, King Claw promises to be a visually stunning attraction that delights guests both on and off the ride.

Are you ready to take the plunge into the mysterious Australian seas and meet King Claw? Special thanks to our dedicated partners at Dreamworld for their continued trust and collaboration on this incredible project.

On June 28 2025, Gyeongju World in South Korea opened their centerpiece attraction, Time Rider, to commemorate their 40th anniversary. This meticulously themed Coaster Wheel offers a dual experience catering to both families and thrill seekers.

Two unique experiences

Setting itself apart from classic Giant Wheel and observation attractions, Gyeongju World has chosen Intamin’s Coaster Wheel model, which features two unique ride experiences.

The first offers a classic Giant Wheel ride, allowing visitors to enjoy sweeping views across the park and its scenic landscape.

Alternatively, visitors can choose the dynamic ride experience with mobile gondolas. These gondolas are set on a track inspired by Intamin’s Roller Coasters, and they move with gravity as the wheel rotates, creating the sensation that the gondola is detaching from the structure before swinging back to a rest position.

An eye-catching ride

Situated in the center of Gyeongju World, Time Rider stands at an impressive height of 51 meters (164 ft), capturing the attention of visitors upon their arrival and building anticipation prior to entering the park. The distinctive design of the ride, coupled with the exceptional thematic work by Gyeongju World, strengthens the park’s identity. Furthermore, Time Rider is equipped with custom LED lighting, creating a unique ambiance in the park during nighttime.

Whether you appreciate a magnificent landscape, engage with the moving gondolas, or simply enjoy the dynamic atmosphere of a theme park, Time Rider will provide an exceptional experience.

The entire Intamin team extends heartfelt congratulations to Gyeongju World on their 40th anniversary and is honoured to be part of this celebration. We express our sincere gratitude to Gyeongju World for their trust and partnership.

“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?

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.

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.

On October 31st 2024, Efteling in the Netherlands opened the highly anticipated and first-of-its-kind “Danse Macabre” attraction to the public. 

Over the years, Efteling and Intamin have successfully collaborated to pioneer the amusement industry through a strong and successful partnership. In 2024, this reached a new milestone with the opening of “Danse Macabre”.

Storyline and Backstory 

Built on the site of the beloved Spookslot (Dutch for “Haunted Castle”), expectations for this new ride were high. Together with Efteling, Intamin was entrusted to develop an innovative and highly unique ride system, perfectly aligned with the storyline’s vision which is centred around the famous “Danse Macabre” composition by Camille Saint-Saëns from the 19th century. 

The tale unfolds on Friday the 13th in 1876, when the eccentric conductor Joseph Charlatan’s entire orchestra vanished during an international music competition. After a grand performance of Danse Macabre, they were ruthlessly devoured by “The Unnamable,” an evil, monstrous, cat-like creature that still prowls these parts today. 

High Capacity Ride System 

The “Danse Macabre” ride system, or Dynamic Motion Stage, has an instant capacity of 108 passengers with each of the six custom-themed church stall cabins accommodating 18 guests each (alternate seating configurations available).  

The cabins can optionally incorporate 4D effects like scent and butt kickers together with an on-board audio system to enhance the storytelling

Heave, Tilt, and Drop 

The ride system features an unlimited individual cabin rotation, a 25° (maximum) tilt on the 18-meter-diameter main platform combined with a limitless rotation of the main platform itself. The hydraulic system allows for platform movements of up to 3 meters in height, with heave speeds of up to 1.5 m/s and drop speeds of up to 3 m/s. 

The overlay of movements possible with this ride system offers a whole new world of possibilities and allows for storytelling on different levels. These elements combine to create a highly immersive environment, complemented by the exceptional theming effects designed by Efteling.

Immerse yourself in Danse Macabre at Efteling and experience a fully immersive and dynamic attraction. 

The Intamin team extends its heartfelt thanks to our long-term partners at Efteling for trusting us once again to push the boundaries of our industry together.

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.

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.

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.

On the 09th July 2022, Familypark located in the province of Burgenland, successfully opened “Biberburg”, Austria’s highest Flume Ride.

Biberburg” translated “Beaver Castle”, is the park’s new major attraction taking riders on a four minutes long, adventurous and unique family-friendly adventure. This beautifully themed water ride was built on the former area of the petting zoo and covers an area of almost 5’000 square meters.

Leaving the station in tree trunk themed state-of-the-art 8-passenger boats, riders can prepare for a splashy and fun filled experience on the 325 meters long water ride.

After the first drop right out of the station, riders get to enjoy a nicely themed floating section before arriving at a dead-end fast-moving platform which changes the floating direction of the boat from forwards to backwards. The boats then drop backwards into the next floating section, making their way to the highlight of the ride, a 17 meters high vertical lift. The lift takes the boats right to the top while revealing stunning views over the park. On top of the lift, the boats are back in their forward position, before whizzing down the drop reaching top speeds of approx. 65 km/h. Austria’s highest drop on a Flume Ride is followed by a camel back hump before experiencing an impressive splash.

Intamin congratulates Familypark on their new attraction and expresses its gratitude for the cooperation.
