Today, I was fortunate enough to take a ride on my first Intamin AG Spiraling Impulse coaster. I'm not sure if any of you know of this one though. I am currently using a computer in Tsu Nan, Taiwan. I'm visiting for about a week and today I took a trip to Leofoo Village theme park. [b]Screaming Condor[/b] is the name of the impulse coaster and if I'm correct, it is similar in a way to V2 at SFMW because it is subterranean (meaning the station is below ground). Even I had no idea this ride existed. I then found out it opened earlier this year before the two V2:Vertical Velocity coasters in the USA. It was very re-ridable, and overall a pretty wild ride. I was able to take in 8 rides in different seats during my visit. I did not have the luck to have a camera by my side during my visit but here are a few descriptions of the ride. The ride's color scheme is like this : deep dark brown track with a slightly lighter brown color used for the support. I hope this doesn't sound like a trip report, (it does huh?), but I'll post one later though.

thats awesome i had no i dea taiwan had a impulse i hope you enjoy your trip!

So, the rumor about Screaming Condor having 2 spiral isn't true right? Do you have any photo?

By the way, is the spinning coaster, Twisting Sahara completed yet?

No, Screaming Condor doesn't have two spiraling spikes. It is just like the two V2 coasters and S:UE. The colors for the track and supports are mentioned in my first post and the trains are also a dark brown with yellow OTSR. The ride's theming is like a western mine.

It's opened on 6/30/2001, so it's the 3rd Impulse Coaster on earth (after Linear Gale and S:UE). The park website makes a big fuss out of the fact that it's the second 'U-shaped suspended spiral coaster' in the world, but mentions nothing about the LIM.

The park's website is right, it IS the world's second suspended spiraling coaster in the world...Linear Gale doesn't spiral !

Did you not see the word [b]VISITING[/b] in my first post? I am just visiting and as of this post, it is the last day of my visit. Too bad I couldn't visit Janfusan Fancyworld though. It's home to [b]G5[/b], only one of two B&M vertical dive roller coasters. So NO I don't live in Taiwan. I am from Los Angeles, California, USA.
