98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 6 Notes
98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 6 Notes Modern Manufacturers So last week, we discussed many important early roller coaster manufacturers, but most of them (except PTC and Vekoma) don’t exist today. This week, we will discuss the currently industry leaders, as well as a few other large / notable manufacturers Intamin AG Intamin (abbreviation for International Amusement Installations) is one of the two most prominent steel coaster manufacturers today A Swiss company, they were founded in 1967 and begun building flat rides like observation towers They began their move into the roller coaster world by serving as an intermediary for Schwarzkopf when selling rides in America. Over time, they began building their own creations Their first coaster was only 19ft tall (Jr. Gemini at Cedar Point; ironically, 34 years later, they would add a coaster nearby that stood 400ft taller) One of their employees, who also worked with Schwarzkopf, was Werner Stengel, the greatest steel coaster designer in the world. He has had his hand in over 500 roller coaster projects and was behind such innovations as the modern vertical loop and heartlining. He later went one to form Ing.-Büro Stengel GmbH, a German company that designs most major steel coasters today, including those made by Intamin and B&M They perfected the stand-up coaster, originally invented by Togo in 1982, with the Shockwave at Six Flags Magic Mountain o The ride was actually designed by B&M, when they still worked at Intamin Their first popular model was the ‘Mega Coaster’ line starting in 1999, which were custom designed hyper coasters usually featuring out and back layouts with large helixes.
