The last few speed and height record breaking coasters have been built by Intamin, mainly thanks to their innovative hydraulic launch system, which allows coasters to be launched at very high speeds (and thus reach very tall heights).

To date, Intamin have approximately 90 roller coasters throughout the world, and are very versatile when it comes to different ride types.

Aside from roller coasters, Intamin also produce drop towers, ferris wheels, simulators, observation towers, river rapid rides and mass transit systems, such as monorails!

Unfortunately, following three deaths on Intamin rides since 2003 (due to rider error, not mechanical problems), Intamin now plump for OTSRs instead of lap bars on most of their new coasters.

Intamin track is recognizable by it's 'triangular' or 'box' shaped track. If you look carefully at the following images, you'll see that the track either contains two, three or four rails; each one is used depending on the stress on the track caused by the train. Less strain, two rails. More strain, 3 rails.  Most strain, 4 rails.
