Here is a pic of Lethal Weapon Pursuit , at Warner Bros movie World in Germany. This twin track looper has short trains due to it's tight course.Here is a pic: http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery970.htm?Picture=7
The current full length style of Intamin sit down looper trains can also be found on Monte Makaya, which is at Terra Encantada in Brazil. It features 8 inversions and is VERY similar to the new Colossus. I can't find any online pics of it, but the trains are also identical more or less to the California Screamin trains, minus the sound system.

SFDL isn't too far away from the point.. S:ros in an Intamin! SFA and SFNE have great Intamin's as well.. not nearly as far as Europe =P
If you really wanted to, you could probably get a REALLY cheap plane ticket to one of these parks in the US :). Now is the time to travel!

I think those looping trains look pretty similar to classic Schwarzkopf trains. I know they used to work with Anton, but its good to see alot of those old designs(Track & Trains) getting put to use today. I really like all the new Intamins I have ridden.

Yes, Swarzkopf did work with Intamin for a very short time. The track is similar to Swarzkopfs except Intamin created the Box-Track for MF, and Intamins is stronger. The trains look nothing like Swarzis' the have a higher more rounded nose and higher sides.

Anyways I still can't wait. The thought of that many zero-g rolls is already getting me dizzy.

I wasn't trying to start an argument I was just saying its nice that intamin pays some heritage to the past in their new designs. If you look at those 2 pics you can see that there are obvious similarities. I love Intamin, and all of their new coasters that I have ridden.
