![]() ![]() I will never not be excited for a new Intamin coaster in Europe. Personally, I'm just happy to see that there are two very good-looking Intamin's that are relatively quick and cheap to fly to from London. There is a rawness to those older, more brutal Intamins but now they've got a formula for balancing intensity, why would they deviate from that? ![]() Kondaa, Pantheon, Hyperion and Velocicoaster are all phenomenal rides and all have intense moments. Check out this INCREDIBLE zero-g stall from the Jurassic World Velocicoaster, in super slow motion Follow us on all social media, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and. Like Serena says, it is gutting that Intamin will likely never build another coaster as intense as i305 but looking at any of their new coasters over the last few years that use their modern track style, they're clearly onto something. When you look at some of Intamin's most intense creations, whilst loved by enthusiasts, most parks almost always regret them.ĭragster has famously been known as Cedar Points biggest regret i305 basically terminated Cedar Fair's relationship with Intamin and Hershey Park needed to build another hyper in Candemonium to satisfy the hyper "gap" that Skyrush failed to fill for the GP. Now THAT'S a ride that showcases the insanity Intamin are capable of! But alas, many deem the ride forceful to a fault and it seems to lack wide appeal for this very reason. The only lamentable thing in my books is that Intamin will never build another I305. Intamin are building fantastic stuff and I'm pretty confident that both GCE and Toutatis will deliver exemplary modern coaster experiences that will please both enthusiasts and casual guests alike. They're still great rides but I'd take Kondaa over either of them any day. The final inversion on VelociCoaster has a real kick to it, not to mention the intense positive G as you pull out of the first inversion.īy comparison, Taiga felt sluggish everytime I rode it, and Taron only truly hits its stride at night when it's warmed up. The first airtime hill on Kondaa is one of the most forceful moments of ejector I've experienced. I realise it's all subjective, but in my experience, Kondaa and VelociCoaster are both more intense than Taiga and Taron. Heck, I don’t like rides too intense myself in my eyes, raw intensity isn’t everything, and fun and rerideability are far more important.Īnd that is before you consider the pros in terms of long-term maintenance and stress on the track and trains. Some enthusiasts may love intense rides, but that opinion is not necessarily shared by the mass market, and the mass market is ultimately who Intamin builds these rides for. With that in mind, I can definitely see why Intamin is toning down the forces slightly. Experience the VelociCoaster yourself here. Rides with mass appeal may not be the most intense things on Earth, but they will be really popular and will appeal to a wide range of people. Race through the jungle alongside Velociraptors in this official front row POV of the thrilling Jurassic World VelociCoaster at Islands of Adventure. I can imagine that is only exacerbated within the wider market. Mass appeal is surely what a park wants when it puts in a new coaster, and I’ve seen a not insignificant subset of enthusiasts find previous Intamins like I305 and Skyrush too intense. I found out i have no problem with speed or loops or upside down.Click to expand.I apologise for playing devil’s advocate here, but isn’t this arguably a good thing, through the eyes of some at least? I hate hate drops with that feeling in my stomach so i avoid tower of terror, Jurassic Park, Dr doom type rides that are just drops. The launch wasnt anything worse than RNR but that drop/turn afterwards combined was def intense lol. I did like the Hulk but wow it was intense. In the past three weeks Ive gone on thunder mountain, space mountain, mine train, rock n roller coaster, test track, the mummy, hagrids and did the Hulk yesterday as well. SoI started going on roller coasters and now I actually like them. VelociCoaster passed the initial sniff test, which bodes it as a top 5 contender. My boyfriend loves roller coasters and Ive always hated missing out and hate that he skips rides out sometimea or goes on them alone. I later found out it was harmless but thats how big my fear was. When I was young I even refused to go on Spiderman because i was told it was an indoor coaster and never wanted to even try it lol. There is no real airtime, 80 degree drops, or inversions, but this ride is pure fun and remains the most popular ride in the park even after Velocicoaster. I have always been a roller coaster wimp. So I know it is intense lol but I am trying to gauge how intense. ![]()
