Is there a reason why the Intamin jet ski coasters are all down? Did I miss something?

The rumor is something to do with a patent infringement, which doesn't scan to me, but it would be great if a theme park journalist investigated...

That would suck if we lost a good family coaster over something as stupid as that. That is crazy though.

The strange thing is that this ride model has been around since the mid twenty tens why wasn’t this brought up sooner

Intamin did recently lose a lawsuit regarding copyright infringement … but not for this coaster style.

This is insane

Imagine if Arctic Rescue has to be redone while two exhibits are down and a flat ride is being moved

I just feel sad for the park now, my trip next month is going to be fine but it’s kinda sad seeing so many things down and other classic going away forever

Sea World has monthly sales on APs and tickets

They now almost every few months have some promo where you can bring more people or that deal is extended

Before I thought they were an amazing deal and that blackfish had just really hurt them now its all on there own doing. The service charge fees, rides not working or lines moving slow and food costing so much for what you get

I think for locals it really still is a great park but for how long I'm driving the future does not look so great, in 2 years maybe they can turn things around but they have lotssssss of work to do

Just now getting word that the media day event for Quantum Accelerator at SFNE has been canceled/delayed.

So the straddle coaster mystery deepens...

Scott Gustin, Ashley Carter, Todd Martens, or any of the beat reporters with a big media institution behind them (which would likely help force some kind of public comment) probably have a story here to investigate if they have the bandwidth.

I wonder how long until Hagrids is forced to close. Or if Universal's going to try to fight to keep it open under the pretense of it being under the MDC model.

It’s only the drive tire ones that are closed not the 2 with LSM’s I heard that the cease and desist was sent by intamin and it has something to do with the drive tire launches.

So lets say these are found to copy another company

Does that mean all these coasters have to be redone or just the cars?
