Italy to Receive Intamin Accelerator

Recently spotted on RCDB, Terra Dei Giganti (Land of Giants) will be a new Italian amusement park set to open in 2009.

Starring in this park will be a brand new Intamin Accelerator, measuring 1312 feet long and 59 feet tall. (400 m long and 18 tall)

Though it is not the largest accelerator (actually the smallest by length and size), there is still no doubt in the potential layout for this roller coaster.

The only question is, what will the layout be?

Taking a quick glance around, the two shorter Accelerators which are closest to this new coaster's length are Kanonen (1443 ft.) and Skycar (1476 ft.). Kanonen even has a comparable height at 79 feet.

But the height which is closest is that of Rita and Desert Race, both standing right around the 62 ft. mark.

With these given measurements, it wouldn't be a stretch to suggest a smaller version of the classic Rita layout, or even a smaller Kanonen design.

Track has already been spotted on-site, revealing a nice red track scheme.

The real tell tale sign for this new coaster's layout will be that of the statistics for its launch.

This will allow for a more accurate comparison to other Accelerators, and help for a more accurate guess on what this new Accelerator's layout shall be.

Talk about the New Accelerator with other CFers!

Sounds intresting. It might be a launch into a major 70ft airtime hill.
