Intamin: Explained - Part 2

Intamin has evolved as a distributor and manufacturer of rides and roller coasters over the decades. Since the early 2000s, the company has exploded with a huge list of new attractions, massively increasing the size of their portfolio. In this video, we explore the rest of the company's roller coaster models, as well as their huge collection of flat rides, water rides and other attractions!

Intamin should make their own park the same way that Mack essentially owns Europa Park. It would be cool to see a park made of mostly experimental Intamin rides as well as well designed dark rides.

@@Clay3613 It's not jealousy. My problem is, as soon as a woodie has a single rough spot, everyone and their mother wants it RMC'd. Their ground up coasters look fantastic, especially Golaith considering the tiny footprint they had to work with. I want to see more of that, and more diversity too.

[@TheRealConcertKing]

Park: Hey, can you make... Intamin: Yep.

[@M1stersupersonic8]

Intamin is not the kind of manufacturer you go to for safe designs (like B&M). They are great at innovating, taking risks to make new, unique experiences. While this often comes at the cost of reliability, the price is worth paying, as evidenced by the many installations of their wide variety of rides. I hope they will continue to innovate and bring new, thrilling ideas to the amusement park industry.

[@coasterbot]

Very true!

For us coaster enthusiasts, it's great having Intamin and B&M both the major companies on the scene. They are so yin and yang of each other but still both produce amazing rides. Growing up at Six Flags Great Adventure, I had the pleasure of riding Kingda Ka and El Toro, alongside Nitro and Medusa, the real best of both companies (at least during the 2000s).

[@DomWPC]

the background music is um interesting... its a cross between Elevator music and nuclear warfare

Great videos, Harry! I think it's safe to say Intamin is most likely to be my second-favorite ride manufacturer, just behind B&M. Definitely starting to believe after riding Cheetah Hunt. Didn't even know they built Falcon's Fury! Also, holy heck, their Dueling Dragons looks insane owo
