- The Ultra Splash from Intamin and the GIGA Splash, new roller coasters.
These high water coasters feature some never been seen elements on a water ride.
The GIGA Splash is an impressive tower/ waterfall ride with a 205-meter long channel into a spinning, vertical elevator lift. 40 meters tall, an 87-degree drop, and 100kmph top speed! A massive splash zone after a -1.0-G speed hill leaves riders and viewers wet!
The Ultra Splash features a rocking launch track and several unique airtime moments. 525m of travel, 37m tall, and a 90 degree drop!

Intamin: Hey, can I copy your homework?
Mack Rides: Yeah, just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied.
Intamin:
LOL
I’m not really the biggest fan of the new Power Splash like concept, to me it just seems like a direct copy of Mack’s model. The Giga design however does look unique.
So is Intamin officially out of ideas? Can they not come up with something original at all?
They just mixed the raptor track idea with the water coaster idea. No one has done that before. Also, nobody has ever put a near-vertical drop on a water coaster
@@NorCalCoasterMedia it's supposed to compete somewhat with the power splash. The water coaster seems okay-ish, but it's still using something that, after taking to a friend who is in the industry, RMC does likely have a case for patent infringement.
@@AmusementLabs Intamin's raptors have a rounded spine rather than a box spine like RMC
@@NorCalCoasterMedia They are also wider, and the trains are different enough. The single rail concept is not something limited to one company. If it was, Dynamic Attractions would be in the dumps
Also, when you comparing the Ultra Splash model with the Power Splash from Mack, you notice that the Ultra Splash has more length of track (+ 308 meters, + 1010 foot) and larger trains (+ 1 row). It also has the sigle rail and a more "futurist" look by looking to the support structure.
The con I can point is the fact that it doesn't a turntable (wich allows the park to run 2 trains). Pulsar at Walibi Belgium is the first Power Splash of Mack and it has a turntable. According to RCDB, it has a capacity of 950 visitors per hour. Even with larger trains, the Ultra Splash can't have the same capacity without the turntable. But when you see that Aquaman: Power Wave at SFOT, also a Power Splash, doesn't have a turntable (it will have a capicity of 731 visitors per hour), that means it's a feature. So, we can hope that Intamin can do the same and will propose the turntable as a feature (and I'm hoping that parks will not be jerks and will take the feature (Six Flags are jerks for not taking it)).
EDIT: Also, by looking at the promotional video of Pulsar, they showed the trains going at the very top of the structure and here, they showed that too. In fact, Pulsar stop 3 or 4 meters of the top while it's 45 meters high. And the Ultra Splash is 37 meters high, so the drops will be incredibly shorter than the drops on the Power Splash.
Plus, the Ultra Splash has a top speed of 94 km/h while the Power Splash has a top speed of 101 km/h. On Pulsar, there were just a little airtime with the top speed, so here the quote "Several Unique Airtime Moments" is a complete lie.
In conclusion, the Ultra Splash has more length of track, larger trains, a single rail and a general modern look but, it has a smaller high, speed and airtime moments than the Power Splash.
The only thing Intamin can do better now is the price. Pulsar cost 8.5 millions of € (including the building and turntable), so we can guess the ride itself (without the turntable and the bonus train) cost like 6 or 7 millions. I'm sure Intamin can make it at 5 millions or less otherwise, I personnaly prefer getting a Power Splash.
Not much originality from Intamin in the last three vids, but the Giga Splash looks pretty great - it's kind of like what would happen if you left their Water Coaster and Mega Splash in a candlelit room together.
Honestly when I heard giga I was hoping for a 300ft tall water ride.
Same. I would love that
same
I kinda wish intamin first single rail was not on a water coaster
Well they also released a Hot Racer concept today
Why?
Intamin is the best coaster manufacturer
Yes
I think for world firsts and crazy elements they are. Reliability could be improved tho.
@@Eurstre Yeah for the parks I think the best manufacturer is B&M because they're very reliable and have a very big capacity
The last water coaster is amazing
Walibi belgium
Not only are they using rmc track, but there also using mack's power splash concept. So original.
Intamin Pulsar?
Pulsar is made by Mack Rides. Same concept though.
That Ibox track with varying size looks insanely cool
Ultra Splash is basically a mixture between a Mack Rides PowerSplash and an RMC Raptor. Giga Splash, on the other end, looks interesting.
Im feeling the giga splash for sure. SfGvA is my home park
1:19 I love the animated woman just on her phone about to be covered with water
I love how people notice the most random things things that I always miss.😂😂😂... she has that good phone insurance that cover water damage.
I can only imagine the wait time...
It aint a "giga" but looks super fun, love 0:45 their hands xd
The Zamperla Giga Discovery isn't a giga either...
Imagine if b&m does a single rail coaster
They won't ever. They're always gonna stick with the same track
NorCal Thrills oof ok. I wonder how the surf coaster is gonna be
NorCal Thrills “they wont ever” how ignorant lmao
@@ellomate3545 B&M is the most conservative roller coaster company. Only 1 launch coaster. All their rides are basically the same but with different trains. And their rides use old tech as well. The reason they do this approach is to ensure reliability. Even the surf coaster will use the same exact track style they've using since 1991. No other manufacturer has been that consistent with just only 1 track design.
Why'd they call it GIGA? They can call it whatever they want to, but that's just so confusing. 😅
It's a giga Splash,Knott a giga coaster
This for spain, or for parque warner with the name of aquaman or for polynessia in portaventura park
Giga Splash looks like an updated version of the same ride that used to be at Holiday World.
ITS NOT A KNOCKOFF!!
Intamin is great
Coaster Thrills I subscribed to you because you're right with saying "It's not a knockoff"
@@HiAnonym lol XD ok :) ty
ehm what is this? ruclips.net/video/fv020y-0x_g/видео.html
Second one is cool tho
@@joelvdbrink8799 So you think that if a manufacturer creates a ride concept or coaster model no other manufacturer is allowed to design something similar? I agree that what Golden Horse does is not good but Intamin didn't copy the idea...they were inspired by the Mack version and improved some things about it and also did some things different
It’s pulsar
I love intamin rides look they built the new juarissac roller coaster
I'll say it again: Intamin, For The Win!
Yep
Luv the music !!
Cool😎👍
Intamin also released plans for a single rail! ruclips.net/video/sleHkmJCabs/видео.html
Is "giga" a teaser for what they have planned for the model in the future?
Why is it called Giga when its 40m tall? Looks awesome tho
Yeah that is this? I can see accidents happening with this ride. Water and launches should not co-exist if it’s not a complete circuit. Where Vekoma?! I’m pretty sure they have a lot of ideas coming their way!!
Why shouldn't they coexist?
Universal Studios Orlando, get on this !
Its looks like a model from mack rides the pulsar
So the big question. The mack or the intamin?
INTAMIM
So basically these days anything is a giga 🤔😆 #Onion287
I think it's weird people categorise whether it's a giga from the height of the lift (the most boring part of a ride) and not the drop (which is 300ft and the bit that is actually exciting). Also Apollo's Chariot's lift is only 170ft but I've never heard anyone say that's not a Hyper.
😐 You make me embarrassed to be a coaster enthusiast
Intamin copies Mack's PowerSplash
Mack puts a loop in its PowerSplash
Coaster go splash
How many feet in height and mph in speed on these two rides?.
Hi Pulsar 👋
D U M B ! ! ! !
In other words: we don’t have enough money to build a full blown rollercoaster so we will only build 10% of the track.
if the line is long you could be waiting 3 hrs to ride this seeing how they can only run one car at a time
Looks alot like what Mack rides.. just came out with..🤔
I’m confused. Intamin’s water ride “Pilgrims Plunge” was a major failure and issues which caused it to be removed, this ride is similar so how will this one be successful when Pilgrims Plunge wasn’t?
I presume they learned from that as well as the death on Perilous Plunge at Knotts Berry Farm.
Is the first one going into six flags over Texas?
That is a Mack powersplash , similar yes
Sea world Texas
Mack rides pulse clone???
I bet Mack Rides is pissed. The Ultra Splash is literally a carbon copy of the PowerSplash. Even the spikes & launched airtime hill are ripped straight from Pulsar/Aquaman. I mean come on Intamin, if you're going to release your own take on that type of shuttle water coaster at least try to add in your own variation, like a beyond-vertical spike...or maybe even make it the world's first and only water ride with...A 95 FOOT TALL LOOP!!!
Mack can be pissed but if they had no patent mack cant do anything about it
Intamin’s really been on a knockoff/ripoff kick recently.
Single rail coaster, ultra splash, I guess they're steeling from some other manufacturers 😜
Nobody had ever mixed the two concepts before, plus nobody has ever put a near-vertical drop on a water coaster
@@NorCalCoasterMedia lol that's not the point 😉 do you think they would have come with the idea of a single rail coaster without rmc's? I doubt it. They know that rmc and Mack are on top of the industry as well today, so they need to compete, in this case but with well known concepts from other manufacturers.. That's the point 😉
@@NorCalCoasterMedia that has nothing to do with this.. Nevermind, everyone has it's own opinion 😉
@@alexmo8950 RMC is not the only one to make a single rail lmao, dynamic attractions has done it and it was introduced by another company in the 60s or 70s.
Okay no hate here love the idea - just saying.... NO WAY that’s 300+ feet. I couldn’t even call that 200+. Am I wrong here?
Just a mach power splash
Copying an idea that wasn’t that great to begin with
Intamin telling Mack they can do it better.
WHAT
Intamins really out here stealing other manufacturers stuff huh
They literally copied Mack Rides
Why Intamin 😫😫
?
Coaster Thrills Copieng every new concept
@@tommycoaster1911 they r talking inspiration its not copied
Coaster Thrills thats power wave with raptor track? How is this innovation? We could expect more from intamin. Or look at the other announcenments: wcr with slidly modified raptor and rmc elements or this sky rocket 2 + maurer skywheel thingy. Thats not the intamin we know and love
Tommy Coaster there isn’t really as many options for single rail coasters design wise in order for it to be cost effective. The sky rocket is all based on a similar type of design.
They’ve made their own versions of theses concepts and I think the problem is, you can’t expect every manufacturer to make a whole new coaster type every time. And no manufacturer owns elements.
On each one they’ve put their own spins on it, such as an inverted launch on the skyrocket. So I don’t think that they are copies or ripoffs.
