Products and technologies
Intamin's product range spans two broad categories: rides and transportation.
Amusement rides
Roller coasters
Intamin created the first hydraulic launch system (known as the Accelerator Coaster), which catapults roller coaster trains from standstill to speeds upwards of 240 kilometres per hour (150 mph) in a few seconds before climbing to immense heights. Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure, for instance, was North America's tallest and fastest coaster, launching riders from 0–128 mph (206 km/h) in 3.5 seconds.
