Intamin's Aqua Trax is a family roller coaster featuring various water elements to help guests feel the sensation of gliding on water.
Intamin uses a state-of-the-art vehicle designed so that guests will sit astride, like on a motor cycle or a jet ski rather than inside a boat. It uses a new restraint system allowing the rider's upper body to move freely. In this way, passengers will feel much more a part of the ride and not just a passive spectator. Furthermore, the seating is staggered in height. The Aqua Trax incorporates typical design elements of a roller coaster and of a water jet ski. The vehicles and its 8 passengers will be catapulted by the latest linear motor propulsion system at speeds of up to 60 mph. The high acceleration rates create a sensational launch enjoyed by all. The track layout features a series of steep drops, twists and turns, airtime hills, spirals, sand bunny humps to recreate the effect of a fast aqua racer while being on a roller coaster track. The roller coaster elements can be covered by water fountains making them look like waves. |
