'[[File:Stealththorpepark.JPG|thumb|[[Stealth]] at [[Thorpe Park]], [[United Kingdom]]]] '''Intamin Worldwide''' is a designing and manufacturing company in [[Wollerau]], [[Switzerland]]. It is best known for creating [[thrill ride]]s and [[roller coaster]]s worldwide. The U.S. division of the company is located in [[Glen Burnie, Maryland]], and is headed by Sandor Kernacs. The Intamin brand name is an abbreviation for: '''INT'''ernational '''AM'''usement '''IN'''stallations. The company distributes approximately 5-7 roller coasters from their workshops in Switzerland and Glen Burnie each year. Intamin is a major player in the [[amusement park]] attractions industry, supplying some 22 different styles of rides to a variety of parks. Their first roller coaster installation was The Jr. Gemini, a roller coaster at [[Cedar Point]] in 1979. Since then they have installed a total of 70 coasters in several countries around the globe. They designed and built the first "[[river rapids ride]]" known as "[[Six Flags AstroWorld#Thunder River|Thunder River]]" based on the idea supplied by Bill Crandall, a past General Manager at the now defunct [[Six Flags AstroWorld|AstroWorld]]. Intamin also marketed the first [[Freefall (ride)|Freefall]] (developed by [[Giovanola]]) experience and the first [[Drop tower (ride)|Drop Tower]]. == Products and technologies == Intamin is well known for being innovative and creative with their rides. They were some of the first to create a magnetic propulsion system ([[Linear induction motor]]s/Linear Synchronous Motors) and remain one of only a handful of manufacturers continuing to use such technology on roller coasters. Intamin also created the first [[hydraulic]] launch system (also known as the "Accelerator" or "Rocket Coaster"), which is now being used to catapult roller coaster trains from 0 to speeds upwards of 128 [[mph]] (206 [[km/h]]) in a few seconds before climbing up immense heights. [[Furius Baco]] at [[PortAventura]] was their latest achievement and is Europe's fastest coaster, launching riders from 0–135&nbsp;km/h (83.9&nbsp;mph) in 3.5 seconds. Intamin is also known for their massive "Mega" (Intamin's term for a hypercoaster; often considered over 200&nbsp;ft/61 m) and "Giga" (over 300&nbsp;ft/91 m) coasters. They have also created the "Strata Coaster" (Any coaster over 400&nbsp;ft / 122 m tall). There are currently only two Strata Coasters in existence ([[Top Thrill Dragster]] at [[Cedar Point]] and [[Kingda Ka]] at [[Six Flags Great Adventure]]), both manufactured by Intamin. Top Thrill Dragster uses [[lapbar]]s as the choice of restraint, allowing the rider more comfort and freedom of the upper body throughout the ride than Kingda Ka's over-the-shoulder restraint system. Mega/Giga Coasters currently occupy the top 2 spots of the [[Golden Ticket Awards]] with Millennium Force (Giga) and Bizarro (Mega). Also drawing much praise is the company's recent foray into the wooden roller coaster business with their "Plug and Play" models, such as [[Balder (roller coaster)|Balder]] at [[Liseberg]], [[Colossos]] at [[Heide Park]], and [[El Toro (roller coaster)|El Toro]] at [[Six Flags Great Adventure]] which opened spring 2006. Unlike other traditional wood coasters, these rides use prefabricated track sections made of a high-strength wooden laminate that can be secured on-site when the superstructure is completed. This design enables the coaster to reach speeds and navigate course elements smoothly, like a steel roller coaster, while retaining the look and some of the traditional feel of common wooden coasters. [[File:SixFlagsWaterRide-3943.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Roaring Rapids river ride at [[Six Flags Over Texas]] (2007)]] Another recent roller coaster development by Intamin is the [[Green Lantern (Six Flags Magic Mountain)]], a type of [[Spinning roller coaster]] which will be located at [[Six Flags Magic Mountain]] in Valencia, California and will open Spring 2011. It has individual cars, each with 8 seats, arranged in two pods coming off the sides of the car, each with 2 seats facing forwards and two facing backwards. This car is either lifted to the highest point by a conventional chain lift, or propelled around the course at a constant speed by a [[Linear Motor]] system. Intamin is also responsible for a large number of other thrill rides. They have designed some of the largest [[Ferris wheel]]s in the world, along with various types of [[observation tower (ride)|observation tower]]s, and currently hold the record for the world's tallest and fastest freefall ride (The Giant Drop) at [[Dreamworld]], Australia. They also supply [[motion simulator]] technology which can be seen in many installations around the world. Intamin is also credited with the invention of the river rapids ride, though the idea was given to Intamin by Bill Crandall, a past General Manager of AstroWorld. The company is known for being the original home to the famous (within the coaster world) [[Bolliger & Mabillard]] (B&M). The two engineers worked for [[Giovanola]] who in turn were frequently contracted by Intamin for their early stand-up roller coasters (Giovanola eventually started producing roller coasters independently). B&M broke away from Giovanola to form their own company which now supplies roller coasters as well. Similarities between the two companies are often obvious, such as the style of track used by B&M, which was used in a number of early Giovanola installations which were contracted by Intamin. Outside the amusement realm, Intamin supplies [[monorail]] [[transportation system]]s which are used in both public transport networks and at tourist attractions across the world. The Jr. Gemini, at Cedar Point is Intamin's first Roller Coaster Manufactured. == Safety Incidents == {{refimprovesect|date=June 2009}} {{main|Amusement park accidents}} Intamin has been in the news for a number of safety-related accidents or incidents. * In 1984, three passengers riding [[Incidents at Six Flags parks#The Edge|The Edge]] at [[Six Flags Great America|Marriott's Great America]] were injured and hospitalized. The boys were soon after released. The ride had experienced a software malfunction that caused the ride to fall backwards down the wrong shaft.{{Citation needed|date=July 2007}} * In May 1999, a 365&nbsp;lb (165&nbsp;kg) guest was unable to close his lap bar properly on the newly opened [[Superman Ride of Steel]] roller coaster at [[Six Flags Darien Lake]] and [[Incidents at PARC Management parks#Superman - Ride of Steel|fell out of the train]]. * In 1999, a 12-year-old boy fell to his death on the [[Incidents at Cedar Fair parks#Drop Zone Stunt Tower|Drop Zone Stunt Tower]] at [[Great America (California)|Paramount's Great America]]. An investigation was inconclusive and no charges were filed, but following the accident modifications were made to add redundancy to ride restraints of not just Drop Zone, but all of the Intamin Drop Towers around the world. {{Citation needed|date=July 2007}} * In 2001 a 40-year-old woman fell from [[Incidents at Cedar Fair parks#Perilous Plunge|Perilous Plunge]] at [[Knotts Berry Farm]]. She was too large to be correctly restrained by the T-Bar, and rose out of it on the -1G 76 degree drop. * In 2004 two incidents involving the Intamin lap bar system occurred within months of each other. The first was on Hydro, an Intamin near-vertical river plunge at Oakwood Leisure Park ([[Narberth, Pembrokeshire]]) in which a 16-year-old fell approximately {{convert|100|ft|m|-1|abbr=on}} to her death. The peculiar incident is very similar to an earlier accident on another near-vertical plunge ride, Perilous Plunge. Hydro remained closed for the rest of the park's 2004 season before reopening in 2005 with modifications that have seen the lap bar restraints replaced with "Over-the-Shoulder" restraints. * The second incident of 2004 was on one of Intamin's mega coasters, Superman: Ride of Steel at [[Six Flags New England]] in [[Massachusetts]]. The ride, again with lap bar restraints, was dispatched with a sufferer of [[cerebral palsy]] in the front seat. According to an investigation [http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2004/05/07/coaster_riders_question_safety_steps/], the ride operators were primarily to blame for not ensuring the man was properly secured. Intamin was also partially blamed because the ride's safety system allowed the train to be dispatched without all the restraints properly secured. Some blame was also attributed to the victim for not notifying the operators of his condition. Intamin is now supplying rides with the more restricting OTSR (over-the-shoulder restraints) as well as the traditional lap bars for added safety. * In June 2007, a 13-year-old girl had both of her feet severed at the ankles on Superman: Tower of Power at [[Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom]]. A ride malfunction caused a cable to snap and a cord to wrap around the girl's feet, amputating both of them. She was brought to the hospital in critical condition <ref>[http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19370592/ Teen’s feet severed while on thrill ride - Life - MSNBC.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and the park was later fined $1,000 for not properly maintaining the ride. * In September 2009, a cable snapped during the launch on [[Xcelerator]] at [[Knott's Berry Farm]]. A 12-year-old boy and his father were sitting in the front seats and were injured by flying debris and the snapped cable. ==Notable roller coasters== {{Expand list|date=August 2008}} {| class= "wikitable" |- !
