I certainly hope so. Intamin is way too good a manufacturer to go down the tubes in this manner. But if it continues like this... Maybe I should stop being so pessimistic. Once the rides have been fixed and are in reliable order, there aren't many companies who can get close to Intamin for designs and intensity. I'm sure the quality will shine through the errors.

Intamin should really look into hiring a materials engineer (unless they already have one). It seems like a lot of their problems are due to material selection. Maybe if they have somebody dedicated to finding and testing new materials to use, maybe alloys with higher fatigue limits or composites, they could reduce a lot of their problems.

I'm glad I have ridden it anyway.
