The guide to Intamin Coasters in and out of RCT2

1. The Giga Coaster
Lift height= approx. 308ft.
-utilizes cable lift hill system
Track length= approx. 6595ft.
Trains= 3
Cars per train= 9 (capacity 36 riders per train)

With speeds in upwards of 95 mph, the Intamin Mega/Giga coasters are among the fastest rides in the world. The layout is characterized by steep hills, large over-banked turns, and swift, low-to-the-ground curves for ultra-excitement.

2. Intamin Mega-Lite Coaster
Lift height= approx. 31 m
-utilizes cable lift hill system
Track length= approx. 755 m
Trains= 2
Cars per train= 4 (capacity of 16 riders per train)

Mega-Lite coasters reach top speeds of around 85km/h. The layout includes a set of large, airtime hills and overbanked turns as well as high-speed curves close to ground-level.

---------------------------------------------------------

3. The Intamin Accelerator
High powered launch from station, speeds usually range from 80-125 mph.
Vertical climb to heights of around 420 feet.
1-6 trains per ride
12-20 riders per train

A hyper speed launch and a super-sized up-hill climb characterize the layouts of an Accelerator coaster. After the first hill, layouts vary. Some, like the Top Thrill Dragster are just the climb and descent, whereas others may include additional hills (and sometimes inversions) following the first.

For RCT2: Because Giga coaster track is unable to climb or descend vertically, the use of B&M track (Twister, Hyper-Twist, Floorless, and Vertical drop) is needed for the initial hill. For the trains, regular Giga trains or ja’s looper trains are acceptable.

---------------------------------------------------------
4. Intamin Woodies
Lift hill usually higher than 100 ft.
Top speed= approx. 74.5 mph
Trains= 2-3
Capacity= up to 36 riders on 5-8 cars per train

Intamin wooden coasters are much larger than the classic PTC woodies, and are usually taller and faster than most GCI’s. SFGA’s El Toro is Intamin’s largest coaster and is packed with intense airtime hills and lots of speed.

For RCT2: Standard Wooden track and regular wooden coaster trains.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

5. Intamin’s LSM “Blitz”
Height = 32m
Lift hill uses LSM/LIM technology
6 trains
12 riders per train (3 cars)
Max speed= 121 km/hr
95 degree first drop
Approx. 70 mph launch tunnel (halfway through the ride)

The most famous LSM Blitz is the Maverick at Cedar Point. Blitz coaster layouts are characterized by the 90+ degree angle first drop. Another important aspect of a LSM Blitz is the LSM powered launch about halfway through the ride. On Maverick, this launch reaches speeds of approx. 70 mph. Other characteristics of the layout include swift, close-to-the-ground curves, corkscrews and barrel-roll inversions, and airtime hills.

For RCT2: Use ja’s giga looper trains. For the track, its best to use twister track for the launched lift hill and vertical drop, as well as any inversions. Otherwise, use the Giga Coaster track.
--------------------------------------------------------------

6. LIM Twisted Impulse
Height= approx. 185ft.
Riders dangle below track on one train
Launch of 62 mph.

The Twisted Impulse coaster is known for its vertical launch and freefall. Riders are launched upward at a 90 degree angle, then freefall from the highest point. Riders then pass backwards through the station up another 90 degrees hill before freefalling forwards toward the station. This process repeats. The vertical hills are either twisted or a genuine freefall. The best examples are Cedar Point’s Wicked Twister and the V2: Vertical Velocity.

IN RCT2: Normal Inverted Impulse coaster track and trains.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Other Intamin AG coasters include:
Wing rider
Motorbike
LSM Ball coaster
Surf Coaster
Zac-Spin
Suspended
Twist-Turn
Family Coaster
Multi Inversion (a combination of Mega-lite and B&M elements that create a record breaking, sit-down, inverting coaster.)

Note: many of the non-described models are not able to be built in RCT2.

Images would help making your story sold better. 

Links to rcdb.com examples would help too. Also, most, if not all, of the "others" can be done, it just takes some imagination.

If you click the links, there a pics and videos there. Plus, if you hit the pdf at the bottom, it shows an example of an actual layout of the model

We are lazy and don't want to click on links, therefore I said, using images will help, the tip about rcdb.com is easy too

haha ok ill see what i can do

erm... first you say people dont click links so he should replace them and then you say he should add then you say its good to put some links in it ?

^ha good point, i was thinking about that but ill add some good pics (wihtout links for you, cena )when i get the chance
