Quality.....and better than Vekoma

 

[Vyrus]

Unless Premier is doing Gringotts like we thought and Intamin is doing the train...they ARE the leader in LIM technology, so maybe the HE would run on this, make it more effiecient, and quieter running backstage.

 

[Cecilia]

Any involvement with Intamin would make me happy. So... yay.

Think more of what happens at 0:15 in the video below :thumbs:

Oh, well that looks like fun. Scary...but fun.

 

[rhino4evr]

arent they the company that does a lot of work with Cedar Point? or am i thinking of someone else?

 

[Hatetofly]

Check this out because they do work all over including Cedar Points last 4 coasters.

They installed Maverick, and also did Cheetah Run at BGT

 

[JungleSkip]

Oh, well that looks like fun. Scary...but fun.

As someone who's ridden Verbolten...it's AWESOME. The freefall track is such a neat effect and ride part. Definitely would be great to get it at Uni.

You really follow everything, don't you?

 

[Teebin]

So, we had 4 things happening in the park at the same time over a month ago: Premiere, Mummy, Load-Balance testing, 722. Now we have a rumor of Intamin which also has a Transportation Division which has involved elevated trains.

Yes, I have no life. :bonk:

 

[TheDecemberists]

They installed Maverick

And we all know how well that turned out...

With that being said, though, Maverick is still one of my favorite steel coasters, and I would cream myself if that's the type of coaster Universal would go with.


I still find it ridiculous that the park with Spider-Man got Forbidden Journey while the park with The Mummy is getting another indoor coaster...

Whoa. Nice Teebs.

 

[Hatetofly]

This "indoor coaster" is on a whole different level.

*checks pulse*

Yup, it's gone, y'all.

 

[Teebin]

^ told ya!

 

[Disneyhead]

Those Gringott's train concept art leaked on Disney Leap Day didn't look Intamin too me. So either the concept art is wrong or Intamin is doing the HE.

...

Is their something wrong with Maverick? I haven't ridden it, but I thought it was a big successs, no?

 

[Vyrus]

Had a ton of problems when it first came out.. A TON

And I definitely believe Intamin will be building the train, it makes the most sense, having an actualy steam train takes a lot of maintenance and noisy, one of these bad boys would move between the parks practically unoticed.
