Theming always helps with parks looks, it makes them look so much better and makes the ride experience that much better. This park should be very interesting and would make a nice mini trip to MN for NU at MoA and VF.

Im so excited. I have wanted to ride an Intamin halfpipe since the one was built in Särkänniemi in 2003. Their simplicity attracts me.

...but the true excitement is I cannot believe they are makin a spongebob rollercoaster after one of the best episodes on that show. :lol: Hey I like it ok?!

...thanks Tony :wink:

Thats awsome though...5ft. hmm. It has a good layout and looks like a nice coaster.

Avatar, from some angles looks like the towers go inward[past vertical] yet its so small it barely appears to go much vertical anyhow. Weird.

Whoa! Hold up now...

No but seriously... Intamin is amazing in the industry, almost the best. Id say B&M is on top only to to the amount of luxury & class in their coasters. They all even appear as gorgeous coasters. The only B&Ms i find look ugly are Appollos chariot & Medusa[SFDk]. but thats beside the point.

Intamin is very innovative, creative & genius. Even though Im a HUGE maverick fan, im not basing it only off of that ride. They create some of the best coasters in the world and always have beautiful coasters, appearance wise and the rides in general. Even if the coaster idea is out & done already, they find a sick way to change it up/twist it. I just think Intamin is amazing.

^I haven't been on enough of them to agree with you, but i would compromise amazing quality for reliability any day.....

As for the vehicles being on Spongebob, when will testing most likely start? Gosh, i still can't get over the closeness to the ceiling! :shock:

They are amazing. Amazing at tossing people to their death off their rides. Also they are awesome at performing extensive structural modifications after a season or 2 of operation. Also awesome at throwing in Heartline rolls that trains are incapable of navigating without damage. Random train collisions are pretty nifty also.

So yeah, I guess they are awesome, you all are right. I stand corrected! :)

I don't really care who manufactures a coaster, as long as it's fun and safe.

This is so exciting!!

A spongebob coaster & an Intamin. I get really excited with them.They are by far my favorite manufacturer.

However, as for spongebobs blah blah blah....The cars totally suck! They were supposed to be themed after the buses in bikini bottom! There is fire/flames on them. LAME!

^I don't know which is more pathetic, the fact that you are upset about that, or the fact that I am?! :lol:

For those who have been on these Euroflighters, how are they in terms of comfort and headbanging?!
