So, i was cruising the web, to find some news on the Mirabilandia megacoaster, and I stumbled across a picture of an unknown Intamin Accelerator coaster!
So, i did some research, and found that it was the small, weird Intamin Accelerator, which is said to open next year in this small Italian park, terra dei Giganti.
It's only 400m long, and only 18m high.
The track will be red, and the supports blue.
the colors are very similar to the Supermans...

There's only 1 other coaster at the park, but it's also still under construction.
It's a Zamperla twister Coaster 420 STD (spinning wild mouse)
----------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't it weird, how an Intamin Accelerator can go unnoticed for so long?
I mean, it really makes me wonder, why I haven't heard of it yet, and I live in the neighbour country...
Hmmm...
It's a shame it's so far to the south tho, as i'm not liokely to visit it very soon...
It seems as South Italy is picking up with the Northern Italy in terms of Amusement industry, considering that not so long ago a Eurofighter was announced there...

I've already heard of it a while ago, but I agree that the attention has been really low and this park was also often confused with that other new Italian park.
Anywho, looks good IMO.

Shouldn't that kinda be classified as a coaster? Those Half-pipe things are called coasters...? Is there a difference that I don't know?

It is basically a scaled down version of Rita, but with a tophat kinda airtime hill at the start! Should be VERY FUN! It seems Intamin are really making their coasters more accessible for smaller parks now, what with this, the ball coaster being manufactured, and the newer Mega Lites providing a cheaper and smaller version of a hyper! [:D] Its really good to see quiality coasters being more accessible!
