JAWS wasn't Intamin. However, no one can call Universal's experience with JAWS anything but bad. That ride system was a mess even after TFC redesigned it. It was a pit of money.
Sikes said Universal awarded contracts to six to eight companies last November to revamp Jaws. Three of the key firms are:
- Intamin Co., a Swiss company that will handle the building and movement of the boats. Intamin is a well-known ride company that also worked on the motion bases at Universal's Back to the Future ride.
Anyone get a chance to visits IAAPA while it was here and poke around some of these vendors for any clues?
I went over to the Intamin booth and asked if they were working on any Potter related projects and the guy just gave a generic "we can't discuss any projects we are working on."
However, he looked kind of startled and caught off guard when I asked him.
Like in a "how did they know" kind of way or a "wish we were" kind of way You'll learn more from body language than from words sometimes
It seemed more the "how did he know," but it's hard to know for sure. It could really go both ways. He was definitely trying to play it off.
I noticed though, whenever I asked anybody regarding future projects, they never want to talk to me.
I think those vendors are pretty tight lipped when it comes to talking about future projects to anyone until the parks announce them. Nobody would use them if they spilled the beans about all the upcoming awesomeness But awesome job trying to get some sort of info out of them :thumbs:

They'd be fired if they announced it I'm leaning on Premier, but Intamin is a close second still.
I'm with HTF on this. Intamin.
God forbid anyone should call Premier... complain about their crap-ass website, and then ask if they are building a new coaster at Universal Orlando.
Building my Army :sneaky:
