iSpeed

[Gluesniffa]

Am I the only person who think iSpeed looks too intense for the human body? It looks awesome, but on some of those turns and inversions it just flies through them, check out some youtube vids of it testing or the simulated videos, it looks insane.

[6000000flags]

I can't find any testing videos of it, only slideshows.

[. Style .]

It looks pretty ok to me, it does the zero-g-rolls a bit too fast though, but they go pretty fast through the ones on Furios Baco fx, and I haven't heard about any problems with that.

Is Gerstlauer the manufactorer?

no, it's an intamin

[SnooSnoo]

It looks sexy as hell. Too bad it has to be half a world away.

ps: have you even seen Maverick? Most of the elements are taken at the same speed on both coasters..

[. Style .]

no, it's an intamin

But this isn't an accelerator, is it? Sure doesn't look like it.

[RCT3Callum]

Looks alright. I'd definitely ride it if I could. :)

[bigb7965]

nope, its LIM launched

[Myn-o-mite]

They consider it still to be a launced though, and it does look pretty fast but reallly fun!

[SnooSnoo]

LSM* Launched, just like Maverick.



Don't look at the top hat and automatically think accelerator boys and girls. This is Maverick 2.0.. pretty much. :P

I don't. I looked at the layout, and it just didn't look like what an accelerator would do, it looked more like one of those new Gerstlauer launchers in my opinion.

But yeah, there's alot of Maverick over it - we've needed one of those in Europe! :D

[SnooSnoo]

Oo I know you don't. You're too smart for that. Some others might be thinking that. It was a broad statement. :P

[CedarPointer]

You're right, that really doesn't look safe...

[Krakatoa_Coo]

they copied the dragster look on the cars!

[ytivarg]

they copied the dragster look on the cars!

And Dragster kinda copied Xcelerator.... what's your point? They're all made by Intamin.

[disneyland123]

Well, Intamin has made some of their coasters very fast (or at least certain parts of the coaster, look at the "S-bend" part of Kawasemi) so I don't think that would be a problem.

Although they should put some trims before that zero-G/heartline twist/corkscrew thing (I can't tell what it is).

POV has been released

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV_CN0pcxyU&feature=player_embedded

this ride is awesome!

[SnooSnoo]

Headbanging will be atrocious.

[sykesie-92]

^ Aye, it doesn't look too bad, but it has alot of head banging and rattle
You can see on this this pov/reserve;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N9fUevgUgs

Looks insane though.

[SnooSnoo]

Headbanging will be atrocious.

I'll repeat my statement.

[liamrocks]

I'll repeat my statement.
Ill agree. Kinda like Flight Deck at Wonderland, only worse.

[Alpengeist]

I know you definitely have to learn how to ride Maverick, otherwise you hit your head/ears/or neck a few times during the ride. I'm thinking this ride will be similar.

[fathorse]

I'd also like to reiterate this is the dumbest name for a ride ever.

[FlyingPenguins]

Looks rather painful to ride...

[Brio94]

I'm going to mirabilandia in July, hence ispeed on ......

[-Kasbian-]

iSpeed....
Hmm...
Isn't it supposed to look fast?!

[David Ellis]

I actually think it looks pretty good. Purely my opinion, of course. The European Coaster Club are visiting this park this summer, but sadly I am saving my money for the ECC trip to Japan in September.
David.

^^
Are you gonna ride it nude??
Lmao.
It'd probably be intense nude.

[fathorse]

LOL, I'd say if you want to ride it nude, knock yourself out (not literally of course, try to keep it under the lap bar).

[iDmo]

Sounds like a new iPod.
It looks okay to me.

[Brio94]

Hello guys, I'm been to mirabilandia last week, and I tried ispeed 2 times, is a fantastic roller coaster, I suggest to try it!

[chrisy177]

Hmm... never been on an intamin other than Rita before... I'll have too add this coaster to the list

[-Kasbian-]

^^^
That would be one SHL-heck of a ride. bahaha.

[Primestar]

This is open already!?!? Wow, that was quick. It only took them, like, what? A month? A month and a half? That was QUICK.

[rctrob]

uuuhhhh...... Its been open since may.....

[colbycx]

There was discussion on how maverick is bad! You are all insane! Maverick is my fave!
