Does anyone know where this coaster is:
http://www.intaminwo...id=56&Itemid=32
and whats it's name?
It looks really cool. Anyone think we will be getting something like that over here in america (if thats not). This is awsome because speed is my thing...... but usally the only way to get fast is huge hieghts (and most launched coasters are big, thats why i like italian job).

That would be Furius Baco, and it's at PortAventura in Salou, Tarragona Spain.
It would be nice for the U.S. to get one of those though.

They don't have to. TTD and KK are accelerators, but so are small ones like Rita and Speed Monster. http://www.rcdb.com/ir.htm?model=187

Could Maverick also be considered an accelerator? It meets the specs, and then some.

Maverick is a magnetic launch. Nothing like TTD, Kingda Ka, ect...

The hydraulic motor powers or moves the cable, so both are true.
