The last couple of months in the amusement park known as Bakken located in Klampenborg, Sj?????????lland Denmark, an intamin spining coaster is being built.

The first specs of this intamin spinner are as follows:
Length: 984 feet or 299.9 m
Height: 33 feet or 10.1 m

Here are a couple of images of Tornado.

It looks like this intamin spinner has a launch instead of the typical lift.

Wow, this thing looks awesome[:p]. I like the trains way better than Gerstlauer's spinners.

Because it lowers the height requirement :)Bakken is a family park, and therefore I would think a lower height requirement is more important than not having OTRSR.

It's amazing what sometheming can do. The building looks amazing, and the coaster looks pretty good!

Spinball is a family ride that wee little gum drop kiddywinkles can go on, and that only has a lap restraint...

If anything, I'd say those OTSRs make it look more intimidating, kids may not even want to go on it!!! [lol]

they basically took the OTSR's from the Mav trains and put them on the spinner. Look closely.

The Intamin's OTSRs aren't a big deal on their half pipe rides, I don't think they'd be that bad on this thing.

They're not seatbelts, they're the rubber under-suiting that goes on Intamin OTSRs. And regardless, they still come over your shoulders and are restrictive, you couldn't lean forwards for example.

That high banked turn actually looks pretty uncomfortable. I'm hoping to visit bakken this year. That "launch" looks crazy.

^What do you mean it looks uncomfortable? Theres a few pretty highly banked forceful turn on Timberland and it's way fun.

And that launch is just a fast-ass lift right?

Look at the video, it gives me the crazy idea that:
1. The turn is just insane on a weird way.
2. The turn is uncomfortable.

I like the turn, but yeah, its taken pretty fast for how weird it looks. It has a really really really short lead in, at least thats how it looks from that angle.

Looks like an awesome little spinner, i want to see some more of that lift. It looks really interesting to say the least.

If you look up some older construction photos, you will see that it is a lift hill, only they're running this thing fast. Also if you closely, it utilizes the same double chain configuration Fahrenheit uses.

I think this spinner looks pretty awesome, shame about the OTSRs but oh well. We'll live. I look forward to seeing some more videos, possibly a POV after it opens.
