I can’t find Stand-up Twister Coaster 1

[@bimonsmeen1687]

I kinda miss this ride:/ it was a good fill for La Ronde’s lineup of coasters and it wasn’t the roughest thing ever in my opinion

[@AmatsuNL]

Because B&M was once part of Intamin. During the 1980s-early 1990s Intamin used this kind of track, which B&M decided to use on their coasters.

[@brandonseto4524]

So that’s it looks like that, thanks😊

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

@@brandonseto4524 Yeah Walter Bolliger and Claude Mabillard worked for Giovanola, which was sub-contracted by Intamin to make the track, and obviously they left Giovanola to form B&M.

[@ayumu-senpaii]

Wrong Giovonola

[@MXLudacris]

This was initially sold to and used by an amusement park in Sweden, called ”Stand Up”, later torn down and shipped to La Ronde. Best position riding this roller coaster was last row facing backwards. Was only allowed first year though.

[@BigBlackBe4r]

"Was only allowed first year though" really ? How come ?

[@theblairwitchextendedproject]

In 2016/2017 this ride closed I think due to mechanical difficulties however, there is one last intamin stand up Shockwave at Drayton Manor at Stratfordshire in the UK.

RIP COBRA GONE AND NEVER FORGOTTEN

[@ValleyThrills]

I know this was an Intamin & not a B&M, but Six Flags should’ve given this the stand up-floorless conversion.

[@905Metalhead]

Most standup to floor less conversions are terrible. This would have been awful for sure.

[@johnfoltz8183]

Some would probably say that the ride would still be rough and uncomfortable with the Floorless conversion.

[@teddym2808]

@Twisted Coaster Fan Why not? The track is the same.

This is being sent to six flags great america, i was shown a map of 3 locations at six flags great america in the shape of a rectangle and it shows possible queue entrances, i think one is over by the american eagle it shows a bridge the goes behing jonny rockets, the other is across from jonny rockets in mardi gras, they would have to build a queue that goes over the serivace road and the roaring rapids, it would be surounded by trees, the other one is on the other side of the log rides in yokon teritory.

[@MrTNT6000]

I can't believe this is an intamin coaster O_o

[@ricedmatt]

same! looks sort of like a B&M

[@gogy4]

MrTNT6000 I think that’s due in part to the fact That the two people that originally created b&m previously worked for intamin, and borrowed assets until they contracted their first ride: Iron Wolf EDIT: I believe that my original statement was false. I now believe that the two people responsible for B&M originally were employees of Giovanola, another company that has ties with Intamin.

[@dead4018]

Its like shockwavevat darien manor, intamin ag stand up

[@trafficconesupmytightass7695]

C_ no your first statement was correct. 2 guys named Bolliger and Mabillard left Intamin with their track design. Giovanola produced the track for them, then decided to make there own 2 rides.

[@ArrowThrills]

Intimin should use the giovanola track again

[@robmausser]

People find stand up coasters harsh because they don't even do what you are supposed to do: STAND UP. Look at the people on the ride as it leaves the station: they are all resting their body weight on the bicycle seat. Thats not the intention, its just there so you don't go flying out the coaster. Put all your weight on your feet, and the ride is way better.

[@lanceflx63]

This was original debut as Shockwave at Six Flags Magic Mountain in 1988

[@TitanLRV]

No this ride debuted as the Stand up at Skara Summerland. The Shockwave is another coaster as the same model. After six flags magic mountain the Shockwave went to six flags great adventure, then to six flags Astroworld and now I think it's in Darien lake's parking lot but I'm not sure.

[@CoasterCore297]

Looks smooth, but is it quite rough?

[@mitchtivi]

That was a nice ride that Sixflag close to replace with.... .... Nothing!

[@oneandonlysound3453]

Shame they didn't see or do a floorless (or sit down) conversion, ik this is the whole gionvolola/half of B&M/intamin era of working with this kind of track, but it "looks like" a B&M stand-up and it's a shame it's scrap metal like shockwave/batman the escape ended up too. They'd be fine coasters if they weren't stand-ups.

[@Hieagandaus]

Giavanola/Intamin built this ride and already had ''B&M'' track.Then Bolliger & Mallibard left Giavanola/Intamin and continued using their box track,better know as B&M track.Technically,B&M is using Giavanola track since they worked for them first.

[@Rockr21190]

Nope Intamin AG. Walter & Claud actually worked for Intamin AG at the time this ride was created, that is why it looks like a B&M. The first one of its kind was the Shockwave at Magic Mountain in 1986. B&M formed in 1988.

[@poisonstrudel]

Going on the 26th, cant wait!

[@ThemeParkDesigns]

Similar to shockwave at six flags great adventure

Yeah!, that's what it was. It was at Six Flags AstroWorld, I can't believe I forgot about that place. I spent my whole childhood there, and now it's gone :(. Oh well, I live in Cali. now, and there is a better amusement park (Six Flags Magic Mountain.) I remember people would just go to Six Flags Over Texas after Six Flags AstroWorld closed.
