- Intamin has come a long way in the development of their mega and hyper coasters. The company continues to innovate for each new addition around the world- the latest of which being Kondaa. Daniel Schoppen discusses the process of working with Walibi Belgium to create the next generation of mega coasters, and what challenges took place to bring this ride to life.

![ЛЕБЕДЕВ у ДУДЯ: муху не обманешь 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/E74h5fvVrqs/mqdefault.jpg)
love how he just nonchalantly drops that they are actually making falcons flight
Said it was a giga coaster thought it was suppose to be 500 ft ?
I doubt that's even going to be built.
@@joeltownley8037 maybe it’s just the model
@@joeltownley8037 Giga is just a model classification- he didn't use it in reference to its height. It'll still be the worlds tallest roller coaster.
@@CoasterStudios ah cool I thought after 400 ft it would be called something else
I love how my tiny country has some of the best coasters in europe and even in the world now, love to see it
Yeah it's awesome being belgian right now 🤣From my house it's a 1 hour drive to Ride to happines, and 1 hour drive to Kondaa!
@@bostieandres its a 30 min drive to plopsa and like a 2 to konda for me
Same
For me 1 plopsa and 1 half komdaa
As a Dutch person, for me it's also very nice to have them so close to home!
Intamin has consistently pushed the envelope and I think we are now seeing their prime in their coaster designs. These mega coasters and multi launch coasters are some of the best in the world. They have also seemed to drastically made larger strides in reliability, as that was an issue with their hydraulic launched coasters from the 2000s.
A heartline roll on Kondaa, what!
Who ever decided against that should be fired
@@reptidan yes
I would have LOVED to end this ride with another mausosaurus (I hope I spel it right lol) like on Velocicoaster omg
I think it has to do with family friendlyness of the ride. A long, fast inversion would scare the hell out of me when I was a kid. Either way, great ride!
@@loicvercammen6509 so you as a child would not be scared to ride a 50 meter 113 km/h beast but is scared of a low to the ground heartline?
I enjoyed this video and I also appreciate the fact that Intamin treats their roller coasters like an orchestra when it comes to building. Also imagine a Heartline roll on Konda, SICK.
I'm so glad I can find Kondaa in my home park but damn am I a little sad we missed out on a Mosasaurus roll on this beast :O
lets be honest/ the non inverting cobra roll is waaaayyyy better
@@BloodCyl no, and it was not bcs of the nicr! It was for the bunny hups
@@BloodCyl this is delusional
@@BloodCyl That really depends in when you're riding Kondaa, I've had amazing moments with the non-inverting roll but there are times that it doesn't do much (when the ride is running slow)
Kondaa is one of my favorite coasters. It’s great, its big, but not too big and therefore not too intense. Sure, gigantic coasters can be fun, but they are intimidating for joe average and when they are too intense, they are not re-rideable for normal people. I would love to see more coaster like that around the world.
Absolutely amazing how they are improving and helping the coaster community. The old Intamin Megas are already so fantastic but they are doing EVEN better.
I'm really loving what seems to be this modern revolution of coasters! Manufacturers seem to finally be incorporating more unique elements and to be gaining a better understanding of how to get good flow and pacing onto their coasters. While right now it does feel that Intamin is mostly just trying to copy elements/styles of other coasters, especially from RMC, I think they've started to break into really understanding the details of what makes those elements great and will soon make leaps themselves. While yes, the non-inverting cobra loop is technically new, it was long overdue, but it does show their willingness to branch out a little.
Overall, I'm just really looking forward to seeing how coasters evolve in the near future and see all the elements that will finally get on some coasters (like come on, how have we not gotten a double inverting zero g roll yet!)
I love this... This was unexpected, and vastly different than what you'd typically expect to hear from a manufacturer.
It was enlightening, refreshing, and transparent.
You can tell Intamin is GENUINELY trying to sell their company in a new light, and this guy they had on the floor representing the company, he deserves a raise!
Perfect editing/presentation👌
Here's hoping we get something truly iconic from Intamin at Universal Studios Hollywood. Something in the realm of Velocicoaster....
Fingers crossed 🤞
We Will💙💙💙💙💙
Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift is a Muliti-dimension coaster form Intamin that goes over 70 mph. It will drop from the upper lot to the lower lot and interact with the elevators, and will feature a c-shaped spike based on the concept renderings
This is another great interview from your IAAPA visit! Absolutely love Kondaa. Also, that Falcon's Flight chat is getting me excited.
Kondaa is soo incredibly good!! So glad to have it in my home park
These talks with the manufacturers are great. Very informative and stuff we dont get to hear often. Nice work!
Airtime Symphonies. I love the poetic quality to that 🤩
This is an AMAZING video! I could listen to him talk about roller coasters for hours! Thank you for this great piece of content.
To Goggle Earth to find Kondaa’s heartline roll 😂
Glad to have this coaster nearby. It's my all time favorite.
Hope that guy on the front row in the first clip dropped his phone and never got it back
What was he even doing? He doesn't look like he's filming... What an asshole!
It never fails to baffle me why people hold their phone out for no apparent reason on a coaster. When I first became a ride op, I assumed the majority of offenders would be people trying to sneak a POV, but now I'd say 75% of guests doing it aren't even doing it for a reason. They just mindlessly hold on to it with either social media open or nothing at all. Like why?! It doesn't make sense to me. I'll simply refuse to dispatch a train if anyone is holding a phone. It's dangerous for everyone on the ride and in the area.
@@InsaneCoaster Also a ride op here! A woman was TEXTING her friends on my ride once, and I was yelling at her to put it away, after she got off we told her not to do it again and she blatantly ignored us, because she queued back up again - 5 minutes later she's doing it again. I then tell her not to bother coming back on my ride, even though it was the end of the day. Every time I spoke to her she was texting, looking at her phone etc.
Another time, I was next to a stranger on a ride - they knew I worked there as I was talking to the staff members. He got his phone out and I said "I'd put that away if I were you" - he replied with "It'd fall out my back pocket" (it was a stand-up coaster). He was taking videos, very obviously. Then, after, I told my friends working on the ride who told him not to come back - he started mocking them so I snapped and said "What if you dropped that and it hit someone?" (This coaster has a layout that's half above busy paths). He continued to mock me.
Best thing - it was my birthday that day :/
The most exciting thing about this video to me is the fact that the giga was confirmed!!!
DID HE JUST ANNOUNCED FALCON'S FLIGHT ?!?!?!
I think so😅😂
he certainly confirmed it
Schoppen's accent, I love it!
"MosaSAUWus roll"
5:03
Except for the non inverting cobra roll, the pacing on this ride is amazing. I have only ridden a dozen coasters and it was the most fun I’ve had in 52 seconds
Oh wow, knowing that those last few bunnyhops could have been a heartline roll. That would have been awesome. I'll reserve any opinion until I've been on it.
Missed this one on our trip to Belgium last year. Hoping to hit this park next time.
Wooow the 2 second talk about falcon flight shock me
I would have loved a heartline roll at the ending!!!
Really interesting interview, thanks for sharing
Amazing vid!
I wish they went with the heart line roll. Would’ve been a killer finale and the only inversion on the ride
My fav intamin!!!!😍😊
Well, that officially confirms that the full-scale Falcon’s Flight is happening
He called it a Giga though
@@CZsWorld and b&m calls fury a hyper. I wouldn't lose hope
As long as they still have the strong positive Gs and negative Gs as well as airtime then I am very happy.
Hold up, Kondaa could have ended with a Velocicoaster-style heart line roll? That sounds sick! This is already my personal favorite coaster but dang, could you imagine?
The problem with mega coasters and why they haven’t sold well in a while is probably because the big parks that have room and can afford one already have a hyper by now. It’s rare for a park to grow to needing a hyper so it’s a highly competitive market with few actual sales.
yay airtime symphonies
Nice video. Going to make the updated 5-year predictions videos soon? Cheers
Wait, if the Saudis Arabia coaster will be an lsm coaster, will we see an accelerator model with a full layout ? Otherwise how would they achieve this
did he just confirm falcons flight?
indeed he did :)
Intamin confirmed they are working on the coaster at the new six flags lets goooooooo
Just upload ur Top 25 already pls. Good stuff tho keep it going :)
I rode this on a cold day and it absolutely blew my mind. I'd take this any day over Untamed, Hyperion and Shambhala. Only Taiga beat this ride by a tiny amount in my opinion
i've not ridden shambhala or this one yet, but I doubt it can deliver the same airtime as untamed or the same speed and floater airtime as hyperion, But by the looks of it it may actually be a really good combination of untamed and hyperion
@@thomaswijgerse723 Het is zoveel beter dan je denkt)) Vooral de eerste twee airtime hills en drop
@@jaconoorland6330 Ik ben nu nog meer hyped om keertje naar walibi belgie te gaan dan ik al was
Lesssssssssss gooooooooooooooooo!!!
I love how the guy from intamin mentions Canada’s Wonderland during this video
well it was more of a low key dig on B&M
like...."they built Behemoth which was traditional and then copied our designs with Leviathan " lol
@@Posirep well... I'm not seeing the lie. 🤣
0:06 i wonder how the cameras didnt spot the phone and stop the train
Waiting for B&M to do this haha...
You don’t hear a lot from Intamins people, it’s interesting
W coaster
6:00 what?
Fastest longest coaster?!
If I had a nickel for every Intamin coaster that almost had a heart line roll I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but weird its happened twice
Where does Skyrush fit into this narrative of designing more fluid transitions from the early models...🤣. Great stuff, as always
I thought SkyRush was a first gen Blitz.
@@lastone032085 nah, those are more like Maverick
@@Posirep interesting. I thought i305, Maverick and Skyrush were together. In that case I guess SkyRush is closer to the superman hypers.
@@lastone032085 it’s technically a wing coaster, along with flying aces at ferrari world
Konda plus a Mosasaurus Roll would ruin my life
No way this man just casually confirmed falcons flight like that
I want to work at intamin.
biggest thing i took away from this video: falcon's flight is a giga coaster
I was looking through other comments and coaster studios said intamin classifies giga just as a type not height so it’s still gonna be the tallest coaster in the world
Great Coaster, but does anyone know, why it breaks down like 5 times a day (each time for half an hour)
Because it's an intamin
@@cxllen9314 Yes but I thought they got better XD. Expedition GeForce never broke down and I've ridden it 43 times
@@limonscore idk then, intamin is quite unpredictable if it comes to reliability
afaik most rollercoasters, especially rmc and intamin have reliability issues their first 1 or 2 years of operation, it should sort itself out once all minor teething issues have been worked out
I heard it was related to sensors. A ride operator once told me during a downtime it was because the sensors were dirty, so they weren't working properly. My take on this is that water (it was a rainy day) messes up with the signals that are going through the power & data rails connecting the train to the automation system when it's in the station.
KONDAA COULD HAVE HAD A HEARTLINE ROLL ??????
I am French Konda is great!!! But look at Toutatis from Parc Astérix in Paris which is going to be 100 times more sensational!!!
Je suis français Konda est top !!! Mais regarde Toutatis du Parc Astérix a Paris qui va être 100 fois plus sensationnel !!!
Notice that he didn't say that the coaster for six flags quiddia was going to be the tallest coaster in the world and that he said it was a giga not a strata
When they use the term 'Giga' they just mean a coaster of that style. They're looking at it less from the height specifications.
So Falcons Flight is a giga coaster?
For Intamin, 'giga' does not mean 300-399 feet. Giga is just a coaster over 300 feet. Falcons Flight will be the worlds tallest roller coaster, which means it has to be taller than Kingda Ka, at 456 feet
Honestly, I'm glad they went for the bunny hops instead of a heartline roll. However good it may be I can't help but feel like it wouldn't fit in with the rest of the ride like the bunny hops do.
Thats kind of where I'm at. The heartline roll would've been AWESOME, but it would've felt a little out of place, so I think ultimately they made the right call. But man it would've been cool to have both...
@Coaster Studios Agreed, I don't think Kondaa needs anything more than it has but it would've been stellar. Also I would kill to have a look at that catalogue of elements the park got to choose from. Who knows what crazy maneuvers Intamin has in store for the future
This is the definition of sigma male and giga chad. My boy is going places🗿🍷🗿🍷
In the first clip there's a guy holding a phone PUT YOUR DAMN LOOSE ARTICLES IN A BIN OR LOCKER
Intamin took a gentle shot at B&M...🤣
Im never calling bunny hills bunny hills. From now on I will call them bunny humps
he said bunny hops, a very common term among thoosies, surprised you've never heard of it.
@@DaanBruins Not that I haven't heard it before, to me it sounded like he said bunny HUMPS which was a new term for me as I've always said/heard bunny hills/hops
@@TheJookEd Yeah now that I think about it, if you listen closely maybe he did say that.
Anyone else get this part.6:00
Build a giga for six flags great america!
The Waffle House has found it’s new host
Ok so everything in the vid from intamin perstective is great. BUT THEY CONFIRMED FALCONS FLIGJT.l
