	Intamin AG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Intamin is a major player in the amusement park attractions industry, supplying some 22 different styles of rides to a variety of parks.
		Intamin also created the first hydraulic launch system (also known as the "Accelerator" or "Rocket Coaster"), which is now being used to catapult roller coaster trains from 0 to speeds upwards of 120 mph (193 km/h) in a few seconds before climbing up immense heights.
		Intamin was also partially blamed for the ride's safety system allowing the train to be dispatched without all the restraints properly secured as well as the victim himself for not notifying the operators of his condition.

		Intamin is among the largest rollercoaster manufacturers today, but they also sell big water rides and free fall towers.
		Intamin has a reputation of building quality rides that are very durable, but they're also often a bit pricier than the alternatives from other companies.
		And then in 2003 Intamin sold Cedar Point the 128 meters tall Top Thrill Dragster rocket coaster, which was the tallest ride until 2005, when a larger scale rocket opened in SF Great America.

	Intamin @ Coaster Force
		Intamin also developed the world's first river rapids ride, which was Thunder River at the now defunct Six Flags Astro World.
		The last few speed and height record breaking coasters have been built by Intamin, mainly thanks to their innovative hydraulic launch system, which allows coasters to be launched at very high speeds (and thus reach very tall heights).
		To date, Intamin have approximately 90 roller coasters throughout the world, and are very versatile when it comes to different ride types.

	Stopping a Thunderbolt - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		It was his development of a magnetic braking system for roller coasters, however, that has been drawing him back home to Pittsburgh more often in recent years, where his mother and two sisters still live, to make important safety modifications to the rides that thrilled him as a child.
		Intamin AG, the Swiss manufacturer of Kennywood's Pitfall tower, which employs magnetic brakes to stop riders' 250-foot direct vertical descent, did not have a system for use on roller coasters, he said.
		Pribonic may have further irked Intamin by testifying against the company in a lawsuit involving a 1999 accident at Six Flags Darien Lake Park near Buffalo, where a rider was injured after being ejected from the Superman Ride of Steel in 1999.

	Intamin - Pioneer of Amusement Rides
		Invented by Intamin in 1979, the Rapids Ride has proved to be the world's favorite family ride.
		After a gentle boat ride providing the passengers with a designer's requierements, the boats suddenly descend down a wild and exciting slide, sending spray and waves in all directions.
		Intamin takes a popular ride into the 21st Century.

	Coaster Kingdom > Phantasialand > Colorado Adventure
		Being close to Alton Towers had always meant that the park had played second fiddle in the mind of the public, and with their rivals now spending vast fortunes on unique new rides, something had to be done to show people that Drayton Manor wasn't about to give in to Tussaud's financial might.
		Eventually a contract was signed with Intamin, the Swiss firm well known for being able to build practically any type of ride a park could possibly want.
		In a way, this is a shame, as having an Intamin rapids and a BandM-looking coaster does not help the park very much in their quest to prove that they can provide something completely separate from their illustrious neighbour.

	B&M vs Intamin
		Intamin seem to be very much driving what the Tussards Group are doing at the moment.
		B&M and Intamin have both their segments with strong performances: B&M is more in the classic multi-looper area (Sitdown, Floorless, Inverter) while Intamin is more an allrounder with just launched and Hyper coasters which are very popular these days and a lot of other attractions besides coasters like water rides, observation towers or simulators...
		But regarding the issue of Intamin vs B&M (away from Alton Towers), Intamin make decent rides but given the choice of coasters they can both do, I'd always rather have a B&M, even with hypercoasters as it's very important to me to have my legs free.

	Coaster Kingdom - Magazine
		Not only does the Intamin freefall offer one of the best freefall sensations, at 325ft tall it will also be one of the most sustained moments of weightlessness in Europe.
		Intamin’s Accelerator (also referred to as the Rocket Coaster) is to parks what Playdough is to kids.
		Last year, rather belatedly, Trocadero’s Intamin Giant Drop was modified to run up the side of a structure within the park, and this year the park has the dubious honour of receiving Drayton Manor’s Klonedike Mine Train.

		It is kind of odd to see SF sue Intamin 3 years after the accident though & I suppose we'll see them file suit against Vekoma by 06 as a result of the malfunction on Two face last year that left 28 riders stranded 140 ft in the air for over two hours.
		Intamin complaint: Six Flags' contract with Intamin specifies that Intamin is responsible for incidents caused by a ride failure resulting from deficiencies in design or construction, therefore, Intamin is responsible for settling this suit, even though Intamin is not named as a defendant in the first complaint.
		Kingda Ka, the only Intamin ride that is going into a Six Flags park next season is already in its final stages of installation - this lawsuit is very recent - meaning they didn't sue Intamin then afterwards sign a contract with them to design, manufacture and build Kingda Ka.

	INTAMIN "Plug & Play" Woodies - Great Adventure Source Forums
		I've been doing a little bit of research on INTAMIN's woodies, and thought it might be a good idea to discuss the actual technology in a separate forum from the rest of the woodie discussion.
		To recap, there are two INTAMIN woodies currently in operation in the world, both are highly regarded by most riders as being some the best woodies around.
		Intamin is probally going to be more strict about the slack rule(I think its one inch)because GADV is part of SF INC. and its always at a Six Flags park that accidents happen.

	Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 Easter Egg : I'm so Excited- It's an Intamin Ride!
		Intamin is the designer of real life hyper-twister coasters, giga coasters, and Inverted Impuls coasters.
		I'm not discounting the validity of this egg, but i do question the designers who put it in there because all hyper twisters (in the game at least, I think in real life as well) are either built by Giovanola or Bolliger and Mabillard (BandM).
		Then again, BandM did secede from intamin to start their own business so I guess they are intertwined in some ways.

		Intamin Inverted Coaster would also be pretty cool to have in the game.

		Dude Intamin uses lap-bar restraints for their continuis circuit hyper and giga coasters.

		The GIANT Wheel was constructed in 1972 and opened to the public in 1973 as part of a massive plan to transform the park into Hersheypark, the major theme park we know of today.
		While Intamin was the ride broker that bought many rides from European companies in the 1970's and 80's, their history as a manufacturer has been significantly shorter.
		The main reason leading to its removal, the lack of parts, as well as the gears that operated the two wheels, which were in terrible shape.

		Another Intamin ride is the subject of an ongoing investigation in Wales after a 16-year-old girl suffered a fatal fall from another chute ride called Hydro in April.
		Intamin says that the victim was too large for the ride's safety restraints and that the park's ride attendants should not have allowed her to ride.

	B&M vs. Intamin
		Intamin rides tend to be faster and thrilling and record breakers for a short while, but B&M coasters tend to hold records longer and are more maintained.
		Intamin coasters have sharper turns and tend to be more rough, which appeals to some people.
		Intamin trains are longer than B&M's if you didnt know so they almost hold the same amount of people.

		Having unmodified trains continuing to have flawless records at other parks would strengenth their case that the SROS problem at SFNE was operator error and the park ignoring the safety guidelines by have extra long belts.

	Cedar Point information: The Point Online: Editorials: Rumors of the Road: Issue 4
		Depending what the contract states that Cedar Point had with Intamin they could also sue for misleading advertising, if Intamin advertised Dragster as being a ride that would have minimal downtime, as well as many other issues.
		Intamin has built multi-inversion coasters before and that’s why I believe that it would have been the most likely choice if Cedar Point were working on a coaster deal with Intamin.
		If Intamin were to create a flying coaster would it be known to be on the same levels as the almighty Millennium Force or would it have been as injury prone as Top Thrill Dragster?
