Intamin, a market leading manufacturer of Roller Coasters and Water Coasters, has supplied a Water Coaster to the Land of Legends Theme Park in Antalya, Turkey.
The “Typhoon Coaster”, which opened to the public on July 5th, is the signature attraction at the Rixos resort theme park, and is the first Water Coaster in Turkey.
Intamin’s Water Coasters are spectacular family rides, combining some of the thrills of a Roller Coaster with those of a water ride. Popular with all ages, Intamin’s Water Coasters are must-have attractions for both theme parks and water parks.
The Ride
On leaving the station the boat sails towards Intamin’s tandem vertical lift, which is unique for both the speed of lift and also the height – 40 meters.  At the top of the lift the boat leaves the lifting platform and, before the passengers can relax and enjoy the view, the boat runs along the down chute, reaching a top speed of 86 km/h.Â
The 10 passenger boats are suitable for riders of all ages thanks to the individual adjustable lap bar restraint system.
After this breath-taking first drop, the passengers can enjoy the coaster section, featuring high speeds and thrilling elements such as banked curves and drops, topped with the excitement of water splashes. After the classic final splash, the boat floats back to the station.
