How long does Intamin have left?

[Doge]

It seems like you haven't seen anything from them this year or last. How long do you think they have left before they file bankruptcy?

[BB1]

A time.

BB1, who won't beat a dying horse

It can be years, or maybe moments, but they have survived this long, I'm sure they will stick around

I do believe a topic similar to this already exists (http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/28061-intanim-dying-a-slow-death/), but that being said, I think Intamin has long enough left.

They do more than coasters.

Falcon's Fury (INTAMIN Drop Tower) will open this year and they also had their hand in making the new Harry Potter train and parts of the coaster for the new Diagon Alley at Universal Orlando.

I believe they're doing the new Drop Tower at New Jersey's finest amusement park.

As far as coasters go, I was wondering about that, according to RCDB its been several years since they've installed a new coaster in the US with none planned to open in the US this season. I didn't know about their hand in Universal's expansion.

One thing appears to be true, Cedar Fair has moved away from anything Intamin (short term? long term? Only a few know and plans do change) which is a significant portion of the large amusement park operators in the country.

Intamin will be living off of Parks buying spare parts for many years. This can go on for about 10 years where they will either make a series of coasters that change their image or go the way of Arrow, in the same way as Arrow.

Their rides break down enough to keep them making parts. Unless someone can make a knock off part.

And I certainly wouldnt want to be the park rep testifying in a lawsuit that my rides broke, causing injury or even death because non OEM parts were used to save a few bucks.

I hope they stay around competition is good and they make very fun rides, say what you will about reliability.

Intamin is fine, they have made many new coasters this year and for next year.

Where can I go ride these many "new" coasters this coming season and next? Inquiring minds want to know!

[Tuskin]

The search feature is my friend.

2013:

-Crazy Coaster at Loca Joy Holiday Theme Park

-u-Shaped Rollercoaster at Victory Kingdom

For 2014:

-Nefeskesen at Vialand

-Travel Through Europe at Romon World

-Also two unnamed intamins are being built at the new Cinecitta World in Rome.

-Zumanjaro Drop of Doom at SFGA

-Falcons Fury at Busch Gardens

Dont get smart with me. Intamin is doin just fine.

Sorry, I was being serious in my question. Medford mentioned not seeing any new installs in the US or on RCDB. Being as I am at work and browsing when I have a free minute I didn't have time to look, and figured you already knew!

I'm not quite sure what video or year I saw it in but it was very interesting. A Vekoma representative was at the IAPPA show and was giving a interview. He said that the company was shifting it's market overseas because of the saturation and poor reputation in the US at the time. A few seasons later Vekoma started to make many great coasters in Asia and Europe without the head banging and roughness associated with Vekoma coasters of the 90's. I could easily see Intamin going the same route trying to restore their image just like Vekoma is now.

Intamin AG has had a lot of coaster issues. But with flat rides, such as Top o' Texas tower at the Texas State Fairgrounds, Lex Luthor-Drop of Doom at Six Flags Magic Mountain, rides recently built and soon to be built, Intamin will not go anywhere, anytime soon.
