Gturner94 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Ok I dont think anyone has posted this yet but Ive been looking at Carowinds new Intimadator compared to Diamondback and Behemoth and I was wondering if I was the only one to see the similarities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Something tells me the company that designed each also noticed! Terpy, who just HAD to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gturner94 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Each are very similar but they all do have there special features. Diamondbacks splashdown, Behemoths ending, and Intimadator's 2nd hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Not only are they by the same company, but they are also the same model coaster. It'd be like comparing Vortex at Kings Island to Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure. They were both made by Arrow Dynamics in the late 1980s as part of their "Mega-Loopers" model. Same with Diamondback, Behemoth, and Intimidator. All are B&Ms and part of their Mega Coaster model.

Gturner94 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 yeah well there are alot of similar coasters. Look at Sheikra and Griffon. They look sort of similar right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TH13TEEN Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 These are also the only three B&M Mega Coasters with the V shape trains. Although Behemoth has the prototype trains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick2007 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 ^^^Did you get to ride it when it did have a floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Absolutely....I have also ridden it without. It's better without it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gturner94 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 thats awesome. I still have to ride one or the other. Next year I might get to ride Sheikra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick2007 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 ^^ I've only ridden it without. Do the lack of a floor make that big of an effect on how it rides? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 On how it rides? Not at all. On the effects on the rider, who can see the track? Yes, especially in the front seats... Else, why do Timberliners have the fronts they do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Terpy, Seriously! I'm anxious enough for HoliWood Nights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
