Anqa

Intamin Mega Coaster

Background-

Anqa is an Arabian mythical bird with four sets of wings, said to appear before the sun sets. Fly through the desert on this mega coaster packed full of air-time.

Design-

Having spent so many years desiging B&M style rides, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and tackle an Intamin, something that has always been a big challenge for me. After months of drafting and failed attempts, I was inspired by watching the way Kondaa. I wanted to capture the way it flowed so gracefully but also seemed aggressive and unpredictable. Eventually I ended up with this layout, I wanted to make sure it was full of different types of air-time, and it features the worlds first Non-Inverting-Roll-Over (NIRO).

Notes-

Massive massive thanks to Antti (fintamin) for guiding me through this process, making me rebuild and rebuild untill it was the best it can be, but also helping me understand what makes Intamin so special with its design.

Also anyone on NLC who has supported what I do, it means alot.
