Obviously Green Lantern First Flight is their greatest innovation.
Pog yes
Failure does lead to future success, so I guess that works
My favorite coaster channel
Nah, that's american eagle
Facts
IMO one of Intamin’s most impactful innovation was the river rapids, you could argue they’ve gone out of fashion but only after near enough every park built one
I feel like intamin will easily make a 500 foot coaster first considering all of their past achievements
I always thought they would be the ones crazy enough to do it, but they’re not the ones currently talking about it. That would be Mr Schilke. Forever striving to keep Arrow’s legacy alive.
@@steveo7771286 Except for the fact that he’s retiring
@@noahkiel2454 Hadn’t heard that. Oh well. I guess we’re doomed to only see a new free spin and dive coaster every year.
@@steveo7771286 I wouldn’t be too worried, him and Fred grub will still give advice and apparently the people taking over r really good and working with them right now
i think if anyone does it, it will be RMC with the T Rex. realistically, at least.
I would one more to add to the list would be the Introduction of the Blitz Model, or multi launching coaster. Mainly since a lot of manufacturers are going this route now, and it showed that the coaster didn’t have to be a record breaker to be amazing.
Intamin's motto is: Harder, Better, Faster, Taller!
I got an add with that song which threw me threw a loop
Intamin is the great innovator of the coaster industry. Even though they may have not made the most reliable systems, they laid that groundwork first that showed what could be done. They really kept the industry on their toes for awhile. That's why their my favorite manufacturer.
Who could have seen this coming? Another awesome video from Airtime Thrills.
Maybe similar to Perilous Plunge, but their eddy current brakes are a nice innovation, they’re a much more pleasant way to decelerate than normal friction brakes. Other manufacturers like B&M have adopted them on some rides (like Griffon).
Their use of ejector air, overbanked turns, and generally more intense rides was also I think ahead of the curve in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Don’t forget the drop tower! Intamin basically invented it
Not every Intamin turns out to be an all-star, but they never try to be boring and they’re always striving for innovative and I always love and admire them for that. While B&M’s can be more reliable, Intamin’s, even when they’re bad, often leave you going “wow, that was kind of crazy.”
Nice video. Thanks for the Volcano mention. That will always go down as one of the best ever for me.
Intimin innovates, B&m , vakoma , S&S , use their ideas and perfects them that’s why intimin is so important
Intamin is the best all round attraction manufacturer in the world! Thank you for sharing Chris!
Nothing like coming home after work, grabbing my BOGO boneless wings from bdubs, and watching the newest airtime thrills banger on Thursdays.
Hey, I think I have a great idea for you. Maybe you can make a series called “Ground up/From the Ground Up” where you analyze the entire plot of a park and redesign it. For example you could take this approach from a coaster enthusiast’s pov for fun. Plot out where each ride can go to build your dream park. Like planet coaster but instead you also have to include where restaurants and other attractions go. I would love to see a video on how Magic Mountain can be redesigned to be a higher quality destination.

Very nice video. Roller coasters make me smile. I loved seeing Canadas Wonderland brought up a few times, as I went there every summer as a child growing up and it holds a dear place in my heart. I am interested to learn more about the fascinating mechanics behind LSM and LIM launch methods.
I think this would make a good series for each manufacturer. Good vid.
Intamin always be pushing boundaries, taking on projects that no one else would dare to try 👍
Xcelarator was my first launch coaster that I rode back in middle school and it was the scariest yet most fun moment of my life
For a series you should do the best ride at every park from Herschend Sea World Six Flags Independent Parks and Cedar Fair
i second this!
No matter how safe you know the drop track is, breaking down on that bit of track is really unnerving. At least it kept me out of the rain for a bit.
Ahh, yes, Colossus at Thorpe Park. The U.K. have been more obsessed with coaster inversions more than any country in the world for about four decades!
Thirteen at Alton Towers: The drop track of Thirteen is cool. It's drop track is also cushioned, (OBVIOUSLY, since if it wasn't cushioned it'd kill people and injure everyone else who rode it without cushioning breaks that didn't die). I love the floater airtime in the back car in the woods during the 1st prime ride time segment of the layout. Remarkably: the most fun moment of the ride for me was the segment AFTER the drop track, between emerging backwards out of the tunnel when I was always fascinated trying to figure out where the drop track had been. The natural woodsy and overgrown foliage helped to hide the foil before finally being tire-drived back to the station, completing the ride. I like Thirteen better than Spinball Whizzer, Galactica, and Rita. To me: Thirteen almost ties with Wicker Man just for comparisons of coasters within Alton Towers, beaten only by Nemesis and The Smiler.
Steel Phantom opened May 10th, 1991 and was the 1st coaster to reach speeds of 85 MPH. It was also the 1st coaster to have a drop of or exceeding 200' with a drop somewhere between 225' and 228'; beating out Magnum XL 200 (which has a drop of 194.7') by at least over 30'.
Superman Escape from Krypton has an official drop stat of 328.1' which is exactly 100M. It's drop 8.1' more that Fury 325, but but not as tall as Red Force, which has a drop estimated to be about 338'. Recently Velocicoaster opened, and soon the single rail duelling coaster will open in Sydney Australia. So far, Intamin is still most likely the world's most innovative roller coaster manufacturer overall.
What about Hagrid's swing launch? That seems like an innovation that, while new, has a very high potential. It could be the next big thing.
@@MoFlo929 not with a switch-track
This is great arrow deserves this vid too
Great list! But If we´re getting nerdy (and that´s in our nature): 1. I´d swap the Sky Jump for the magnetic friction brake. Intamin were the first who would drop a car without attached cables, only relying on the magnetic friction brake.
2. The cable lift had already been in use on early 20th century scenic railways. Rutschebanen at Tivoli still uses it to this day. Sure, the whole mechanism and speed is a bit different.
3. The drop track (in addition with high-speed track switches) was first implemented by Maurer on their spinning coasters. Winjas at Phantasialand had the first drop-track that drops (although only about 1 foot) and bounces back up while the car is moving on the track. In the end Intamin has taken this idea and dropped it like it´s hot.
Honorable mentions also to all those small innvations that are usually not marketable or spectacular. I´m thinking of all the innovations that have been made to track-design, restraints and car design.
Their biggest innovation is their achievement to botch up almost every new water ride since 2000.
Haha stay tuned for next weeks video where we look at how badly Intamin sucks at water rides
Your videos are awesome, I’ll be at BG Tampa over the next week and will be getting on Iron Gwazi, Steel Vengeance is still my favorite so this will be interesting.
Im curious to see how IG will stack up to SV also
There’s a good reason they are sometimes compared to arrow.
Air Time Thrills you do this all the time , am going to bed then you post it's 11pm here in Scotland 🤣 love the videos mate brilliant stuff 👏.
Funny that you would mention the drop tower, when actually I would have mentioned the demon drop, which is also technically the first 90 degree drop on a coaster-like vehicle, I believe.
Good point, was that the first drop tower model? Not sure but wouldnt surprise me
1:44 I’ve ridden furius baco a few times, it shakes, A LOT, but its a hell of a ride, really fun, the layout is meh, but it doesn’t matter its really fun, the shakiness adds to the chaos and the theme and placing is really nice, it feels really fast bc you are on a trench for almost the entire duration of the ride
Awesome list! Intamin’s variety really is remarkable
Intamin once again cracks the speed and height barriers with falcon's flight LOL
I absolutely ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Superman at SFNE!!!!! #intamin #superman #sfne
IMO Intamin will continue to be the top innovators in the industry
This is why intamin is my favorite manufacturer
Now to do Intamins Top 10 greatest failures. Flashback and Green Lantern should be an easy 1/2.
That wasn’t their fault. They designed the trains differently but were hit over the head with regulations. I don’t know why no one seems to have thought about replacing the new trains with something that works better. They even managed to (somewhat) fix the universally reviled mind eraser at 6 flags New England, by changing the restraints to something a little less headbangy.
This is easily why I prefer Intamin to B&M, instead of cranking out the same borderline clone, Intamin innovates
Love your innovation in these video ideas!
Awesome video as usual
5:26 that loop wobble tho
Intamin also made the first drop tower
Airtime Thrills is the best coaster RUclipsr
HOW IS GRLPOWERCOASTERS NOT HERE?!?! (She calls herself an Intamaniac)
#1 STORM RUNNER!!!
Reminds me of Arrow. The innovate a lot a new concepts!
Love this video and would love to see similar from other manufacturers!
Love your videos!
Love ur intro man
7:30 I’m sorry but what the absolute frick was that ejector moment right there
The Volcano was going so fast that it caused me to hold my breath the entire ride. I am so glad it stopped when it did to catch my breath. But if any of the manufactures hit the 500 mark, beware not top the speed limit as well or you will have a lot of passed out people.
I think the Intamin Blitz Model deserves a mention
I have been on gemini, and i kind of that that the normal one was a junior ride, but its still really fun though!
Fianlly we get some perilous plunge respect! That's ride deserves more credit. Good thing the drop towers made the list as well. Still the most complete manufacture easily. There like a Swiss Army knife! We need top 10 intamin failures.
Next weeks video is similar to that idea...
It's a first ladies and gentlemen. Sky Rush footage and no comment about the restraints.
Who doesn’t agree there going to make a 500ft blitz coaster in the near future? As theme park crazy says “never underestimate Intamin”
500 foot blitz no way. Maybe a 500 foot accelerator with LSMs
I’m making it as a joke. That just shows you how great intamins innovation is
Thanks for the dinner reminder
Loved the music on this one.
I’ve been on the xelerator at knots berry the best launch coaster I’ve ever been on
Now, if only those rides would all work exactly the way they are supposed to. . . 😂
Intamin did what arrow couldn’t.
Yes
such a good video idea!
Nice toknow one of my countries theme parks had the roller coaster that has the first drop track lol
I hate to go off topic but I think I’m speaking for all Disney Freaks when I ask about Flight of Passage and Rise of the Resistance. These rides are truly the best of their kind. Are you planning on getting out to animal kingdom anytime or any galaxies edge?
Easily the most maddening manufacturer. Unlimited potential with zero consistency. Their innovation is their greatest strength and also makes the company their own worst enemy. The inverse of B&M in ALMOST every way
You gotta risk it for a biscuit
I’m watching this while writing a story my ride on I305
Kimi's face always looks the same 😂
The thing about LSMs, is that they can also be used as a brake!
Good Video
This was great! Please do b&m next
Rip wicked Twister
It was probably because of Werner Stengel and John Wardley.
Nice
Obviously jr gemini is their greatest innovation
The fast speed switch track
S&S also uses LSM. (GaleForce)
Honestly velocicoasters restraints are one of the best things ever made
Right? Perfection
Is that why you always hold on to them so tight during the mossasaurus roll???
It takes it a different kind of manufacture to make el toro and green lantern the u brick and the r bar
falcon's fury is so good
Do one for Gravity Group!
Can you do a “what happened/is happening to the surf coaster please
The free jump will not catch on because of the kid that fell out
What do you think of Superman running with the right side forward and the left side backwards?
tower of terror opened before superman
Hydraulic launch was analog, and LSM is digital.
I have no idea who invented it but the lap bar on a looping steel coaster?
Interim- who knows about the reliability, but we're ganna build it anyway
The one dislike is from B&M girl.
Lmaaoo
# 1 is = SKYRUSH ! : O🤓🤓🤓
intamin's are my favorite
Off topic but is fiesta Texas the only six flags park getting a new ride next year? I know MM is building the rmc raptor but still no announcements from any of the parks.
Some six flags parks will be opening there 2021 rides for 2022. Like Sidewinder Safari will be opening for 2022 it Discovery Kingdom.
Whats your thoughts on Skyrush ?
I thought the premiere flight of fear clones were the first lsm launch???
That was LIM
never underestimate intamin
Intamin is my second favorite roller coaster manufacturer. They've built some of my favorite rides like Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens Tampa, Intimidator 305 and Volcano: The Blast Coaster (R.I.P.) at Kings Dominion, Xcelerator at Knott's Berry Farm, California Screamin' at Disney's California Adventure, Superman: The Ride at Six Flags New England and Maverick, Top Thrill Dragster and Millennium Force at Cedar Point. The reason why I prefer B&M more is because a lot of Intamin rides have had a history with a lot of downtime where as B&M rides have been a lot more reliable.
Discord fang
I think you missed intamin's ability to take a really good ride and completely destroy it with terrible restraints. Few come to mind but im sure there are more. Skyrush, maverick, superman, kingda ka.
I can imagine Rita and Colossus would be fun without the hard OTSRs, at least when the new coaster at Flamingo Land opened I’ll know if Colossus is any better.
If you can't beat them, copy them...
One of the best ones has to be lsm's
It’s great
