I think we’re seeing the next generation of Intamin launched coasters. I believe the hydraulic cable system maybe dying out due to its low reliability and previous problems. The LSM system really is the way to go. Both quiet and clean, plus it can do the same launch over and over without changing the speed, which was a problem with the hydraulic cable system. The hydraulic cable system never launched the same twice.

Looks very nice! Very fast and intense, but I’m not sure about the smal turns after the drop… I’d rather it to be a straight piece of track. Oh well, the layout it’s great, still. And I really like the station, but I agree, it will not look as good as it looks today in 10 years..

Blue Fire’s only mildly unique element is the overbank, everything else has been done, mainly by Intamin too, and yes europa park did a better job with their theming, but the layout on this is way better, give me a tophat over an overbank anyway, plus that airtime hill is nuts

I absolutely love the transition at 0:24… very fast and smooth looking.

Sorry Atem, but I think otherwise. I have to say that Blue Fire does a much better job of creating an overall better experience then this ride. This ride has zero theming and has a layout that doesn’t feature that many unique elements. I mean, look at Blue Fire and all those unique, rare elements that it features AND the theming on top of that.
