1:12 Can we just appreciate the epic Gerstlauer Roast Intamin did here?
Yeah. They just called Gerst "boring " and "slow" 😄
Can we appreciate the fact that this man got a video out 5 hours after this announcement was made on Intamins channel?
As someone who hates slow vertical lift hills, though I do have an irrational fear of falling backwards down escalators (makes trips, and my eventual move to London fun for travelling on the underground), this is right up my street.
Right? I’ve always been unpleasant with that feeling.
Idk if I can do a vertical lift hill. A 50° climb on a slow lift almost made me pass out since I hate heights. Going down doesn't bother me but the climb does.
My friend who is not an enthusiast but likes a family coaster went on The Smiler this year and (apart from telling me she rode it) she kept complaining about the vertical lift. The thing I fear is going to happen is the Beyond Vertical lift. I can see that in the next couple of years. And I’d put £10 it being at a Merlin park, we know they work with Gerstlauer and like a worlds first gimmick.
I feel you on the London underground; lived there a few years myself. Angel tube is scarier than any coaster; I can't look anywhere but straight ahead on that escalator.
The Polar Coaster was brought to fruition by S&S but Intamin ended up taking over the concept. Thats when it went from a spiral lift hill to what was rendered as a vertical launched lift hill to the top of the 500ft tower. Intamin has been been thinking about this for a while. Really hoping they can bring this concept back to those heights!
Intamin is seriously amazing. I love how they never stop pushing the boundaries of possibilities. They are the best manufacturer out there.
They are for sure!!!
That looks awesome! I love the idea of a vertical launch.
Top thrill vertical LSM
That just crossed my mind.
Would be cool as a replacement for the former Goliath at SFNE.
Yessssss!!
There is a coaster that already has this. Wicked at lagoon was built by Zier and has a vertical launch
Having ridden it, it's quite the rush being launched while going straight up.
I bet, but doesn't Wicked launch you flat first, and then launch you upwards?
@@TP_Recommendations It does, I think it technically is two launches one flat and one completely vertical
Mr. Freeze has a brief vertical LIM lift. Mainly to help push it back to the station
We need a rip ride rockit 2.0
Right? lol
I love this concept! Might be seeing it at IAAPA this year!!!
I saw that, it looks awesome. I agreed with someone's comment who posted, this should replace Rip Ride Rocket@Universal!!!
Wouldn't that be amazing?
I think this might be the new dragster.
Vertical launches are a gimmick the world wasn't ready for (even though Wicked at Lagoon is great), so I hope it turns out better for Intamin than it did for Zeirer.
Aren't many coasters gimmicks though? Like the Wing and Drop coaster, now the 'Surf' (aka standup) coaster. All gimmicks IMO. Heck even spinning could be added to that list.
That would look GREAT at KI where Vortex was…
Here’s a crazy theory, Hershey retrofits Fahrenheit with this system. That’s an instance that would increase capacity and would make it a top tier coaster in comparison.
Wow
Brandon I love the way you think!
How about launching on the way down too?
From my experiences with launched lift hills, I think they are a bit overated. They are a nice treat, but you can't get the same amount of acceleration as a regular launch (it is literally an up hill fight for LSMs).
What I'm interested in is manufacturers experimenting with drop launches. Imagine 150-200ft tall lift hill coasters that launch you downward faster than a giga coaster. Like with Tower of Terror, you'd be falling faster than gravity!
Is it me or does the rocket theme from itamin vertical lift remind you of the 2003 Cedar Point pamphlet with Top Thrill Dragster as a rocket?
Here is my bold prediction, no matter what I'm going to ride the new dragster.
Same here! lol
I feel like in every video of yours you go from being realistic to suddenly talking about 400-500 ft tall coasters. This looks super cool though. Xcelerator was the first nom Disney coaster (in other words the first real coaster) I ever rode as a kid. It scared the hell out of me but I rode that thing to death
Hey, I like to explore that what if's...Like what if we could see a new SBF Spinner go 500 feet? jk lol
Thank you for watching! :)
A serious consideration could be adventureland by palace, there is real-estate vacated by Dragon.....
Very BOLD prediction but I love it! Makes a lot of sense
That looks awesome, I love launch coasters.
I can see Universal getting one of these. Hopefully to the Nintendo section, where they'd theme it after F-Zero or Sonic.
This may revive the polarcoaster concept. Like Storm chaser in Dubai.
Very true! Wouldn't that be insane!
DRAGSTER! DRAGSTER!
Please tell ‘em cedar point is gonna do this with dragster that would be sick!!!
I'm sticking with my prediction. The one from the POV they released looks very Similar to Rip Ride Rockit and it's gonna need a full refurb soon.
Wow! That's some coaster. Looks fun. Be good for Canada's Wonderland. Flight Deck and Time Warp would have to get axed. Could be for Dragster too.
This would do great for CW!
At first glance, the layout at 1:30 looks like an almost ideal fit for a replacement for HRRR at USO. That's been a troubled ride since it opened and Universal has been working very closely with Intamin lately. Makes you wonder if it's something they're pitching behind the scenes.
That ride was supposed to launch… and it never worked…. And I agree, that layout looks nearly identical to RockIt
Wicked at Lagoon has a vertical launch
My first thought as well. They already removed the launch section of the dragster. And with it also made by intamin, they might be able to use the structure of the top hat and build a layout around it.
yeah Intamin is killin it this year and those Intamin bashers can keep bashing them but that's never gonna stop intamin no way
They are by far my favorite manufacturer!
I love them💙
An indoor space themed coaster would be epic.
This would be a great launch for my own re-imagining of Orient Express at Worlds of Fun
why is my first thought with a potential early adopter of this model Cotaland?
That would be wild!
Let’s build this in place of El Tore at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ. 😊
Adventureland in Altoona, Iowa. This would be perfect! They need a launch coaster!
This would be cool.
Could this fit in the Goliath/Flashback footprint at SFNE?
Yes!!!
Did people forget about wicked at lagoon?
Wasn't Volcano: The Blast Coaster a vertical launch coaster?
I like this idea but zierer already did this and only sold one model in wicked at lagoon. So I’m not sure that this will really be super popular.
This gives me so many ideas you have no idea. I see a the fastest launch (mp/s)and the inversion record eventually being crushed by this model the more I look at it. Imagine Do-Dodonpa meets the Smiler build it tall launch it fast create a Bull Hill 8-second floater hill before a twisted diving beyond vertical drop (world's steepest even thiugh you will need trims) before entering into the world's most disorienting inverted layout. Hell throw in a Bent Cuban Eight, a bow tie and a snake dive for rare elements measure and voila also a ton of airtime moments in between inversions. Then you have a coaster of all extremes.
i believe that we could see this at a fun spot park
International Amusement Installations is the king of innovation and never disappoints!! Gotta love it!!
When I dragster video coming out
Could you imagine The Point using this tech on the Dragster rework? It would be quite the coaster if they did. Make it something special except using Dragsters tophat as the launch hill... yes
Most likley it would also need a layout extension 🤞
Why no one talk about the new maurer roller coaster ?
You could do an LSM as part of a midcourse breakrun without loosing pacing, if done correctly.
After emergancy stop, let the train slowly drive backwards and then accelerate to the normal speed. Could even work on a hill.
And now you have theoreticly doubled the capacity.
I think the layout are approximately 160 ft so they can have a couple of Shelf models for Iaapa. I believe 250 to 300 feet would be possible with this type of launch but I don't know how much Force would be put onto structure. On a Horizon plane and you take off the weight and Gravity is still Level with the ground but when you elevate vertical all that weight and gravity forces are on the fins. I not saying they won't be awesome but I don't know where the power vs gravity and weight plus Friction starts to over power the launch. It still be one he'll of a experienced even it it only 250 ft in air
Six Flags Great Escape and Darien Lake needs to get on this
Yo, it like Wicked at lagoon
*_Wicked at Lagoon_*_ has entered the chat_
Honestly though, this looks cool though.
um, Wicked in Utah already has a vertical launch... and they are great!
I feel like the immense reduction in ride time due to a launched vertical lift hill makes up for any capacity woes brought on by a smaller train size. With no mid-course brake run, the throughput on one of these seems pretty efficient!
Imagine having to work on one of those launch pieces 500 feet in the air
I preface this by saying it will not happen, but one of these would be fun at Waldameer. No launch coaster and no inversions on coasters. Even though these designs are fairly small there still is just no room for one of these as the park currently stands (and I don't see them spending over $10 million on a single ride). I would really like it though if it happened.
I was thinking dragster for this also..
Imma just be bias and say any of the parks near me could use one. If SFMM could have a ton of coasters for no reason, throw in a not-so-expensive Intamin launch (or multi launch) at Great Adventure. If Dorney adds this, the popularity would deff increase I’m sure. SF New England already needs a launch coaster and limited space. If they add this, they could have a potential great top 3 line up. I’d say Hershey, but we already know they’re redoing Wildcat with RMC. SFA could use some love tho lol.
My first thought is comparing this to Wicked at Lagoon. My issue with that coaster is the restraints. They are not great if you are at least 6 foot tall. I tend not to like that coaster as much as some. If intamin can fix the restraint problem the layout does look better than wicked.
I feel like with the price range, and the boxes that this model crosses off, that it would be a great fit for Worlds of Fun. Of course that would rely on the new Zambezi Zinger proving to be a successful investment for CF, but it would be a great fit for their next coaster. They need a launch, vertical/beyond vertical drop, and a full circuit looper that places riders above the track. This model has all of that.
Did u notice where they showed a gerstlaur train going up a lift lol
This was made for the " reimagination" of dragster 🙏 with a space theme! Tothe moon!
Dragster? or Dragwer as my sister says it
This just screams USF to me. I mean RRR's replacement incoming right here
NO brake runs......but there will be blocks. They can be programmed. I'm sure there will be more than 1 train on the layout in circuit.
Couldn’t they retro fit fahrenheit to this?
I feel like this could be used on the lower portion of Top Thrill Dragster's tower to give the train the extra power that they wouldn't have had room in the launch track, but I think it would take too much engineering to modify a nearly 20 year old tower to structurally support a full vertical launch on just one side of TTD's tower.
This post by Intamin was definitely at least partially an Easter egg/hint at TTD I'm all in at this point I was @Cedar Point on Sunday and the entire track is gone other than the Top Hat. The track has been shipped back to Intamins track contractor and this is a perfect opportunity for Cedar Point, in addition with the new Entertainment Pavilion, WildMouse Coaster, and new Beach themed area to take back the undisputed #1 park in the Country position They can't pass this opportunity up It's a perfect mesh of time & opportunity This will be so much cheaper because of already having the Top Hat and track that's going to save them at least 5 Million alone. So we shall see but I'm calling it now TTD will now be an LSM Vertical Launch Coaster with a Space/Sci-Fi theme
Yeah this is very exciting times for sure!
Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@deathfearsnone My opinion seems pretty funny to you 😂😂😂 So what's gonna happen? Enlightenn us please and please don't bore us with some technical, financially responsible, boring idea.... this is supposed to be fun,.That why the channel is called "Theme Park PREDICTIONS & MORE" So at least try to be somewhat creative my friend
@@huddyr1112 sorry bud but in order for it to be a vertical launch the vertical track would of been shipped off not the straight track.
@@deathfearsnoneOk well I have heard that the technicians/mechanics can, and definitely have the ability to install the LSM magnets and parts to an existing structure/track. However, Only in special cases would they do so as the cost and difficulty level are high. BUT they can do it if they want to. That's what I have read, and been told so idk... i guess none of us know, but I'm giving all my energy to the positive fact that this is going to be game changing!
Ok, so this is great news for us coaster enthusiasts, for one. I could see Intamin building a 500 ft coaster as they will build whatever a park is willing to pay for. Not sure if this has any impact on Dragster. I did see in someone else's videos where Cedar Point's containers with numbers and letters is like a tracking number for a package. That it is going to a port near Italy or something of the like.
Galaxyland at WEM needs some updating and this might fit the bill for a Mindbender 2.0 even though Mindbender as it is it still a classic killer coaster, pun intended... ;-)
this i think would be perfect for kentucky kingdom, we need an inversion based roller coaster that is good (sry t3), something below 100 to 150ft in height, and a launch coaster, so this would be all in one, also its a small footprint, praying that we get this 2023/2024
i need this at kentucky kingdom...
don't you think they would have sent some of the top hat track in the shipping containers if they planned on putting this on Dragster?
Video coming soon :)
Alright, World's of Fun can wait another 15 years as long as they get one of these!
Starting to regret not finishing that no limits design 20 years ago
I think we’ve found Sea World San Antonio’s next thrill coaster
I wish SFOG would get one of these, not getting my hopes up though
Well, its a dig at Gerstlauer!!
Lol
Right? Haha
zierer
Top Thrill Dragster???
I hope that intamin takes over Ripride Rockit and remodel it with this launch
That would be an awesome idea.
Would look very intense going vertical I really hope we see this in real life in America
I really hope this does happen. I really feel like it has a chance to.
Dragster can actually get a vertical launch
I’m very surprised that no one is talking about that
Instead of launching up it would be pretty cool to launch to the ground
7 injured last night when a train left the track in Missouri at Silver Dollar City
Six Flags Great Adventure could get one one of those but over 300ft tall or over in 2024.
There's technically no limit on how high the vertical launch can go. The limiting factors would be the weight of the train and the length dictating max speed. These are using Intamin strongest LSM motors so well over 90mph should be technically possible with a long enough launch. Highly doubt it'll happen but I'd love to be surprised.
No way...could this be the future for Dragster?
Honestly for some odd reason I could see a package deal going to Sea World Entertainment parks and Fun Spot Parks. I doubt Cedar Fair or Six Flags will invest in this. I wouldn't mind seeing one of these at a Herschend Park or even a Gene Stapleton Park either.
Three words.
Top. Thrill. Dragster.
*Cedar point is trying to act natural rn*
The thing is, it's not really new... we've seen it before. Zierer should be getting the credit for it...
Maybe this is also why Knott's scrapped their new mega coaster project - to replace it with this system instead!?
Geurslaur already have launched lift hills
zierer
I would see that new coaster go to the six flags chain bc that's a good budget for them
I agree
@@TP_Recommendations did you hear that selin bassoul was at my home park at six flags over texas then jbthrills made a video about bassoul said he said in 2 months he's going to invest into six flags over texas and I bet it will be a first of its kind maybe a rmc t Rex where the music amtha theater is by Shockwave and here's his video if your interested ruclips.net/video/1MJjXTgDb_c/видео.html
You said this coaster type won't go to big parks but you're implying that it may go to Cedar Point? lol. I really see this as a boardwalk type coaster, where it's pay per ride but looks fun and snappy enough that it's worth $10 to ride (for the GP).
They already built one in Dubai
The Storm Coaster
@@liljimKLM I'm already obsessed with it because it's an indoor one much like my beloved/ironically named Mindbender @ Galaxyland WEM...
Obviously Kings Dominion would want one to compete with Pantheon at Busch Gardens. But we all know the relationship between Cedar Fair and Intamin. Hopefully this unique type of coaster will help mend that relationship.
For Intamin to release the details right now, along with Top Thrill Dragster being closed for "reimagining" (not to mention Dragster is an Intamin coaster). I don't think that it will be a shot in the dark saying this is going to be the Reimagination of Dragster. I will say this is almost 80% certainty this is what is going to happen with Dragster
The timing is very strange to be releasing this, part of me is thinking this might also answer the lingering question of what will Dragster 2.0 be
