ISpeed
Roller coaster
iSpeed is a steel roller coaster at Mirabilandia in Italy. It opened on May 20, 2009, and is the second blitz coaster to be made by Intamin following Maverick at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.
The ride
The coaster starts with a 68 MPH launch in 2.2 seconds into a top hat where it climbs to 180 feet and then plummets to the ground. Following this is a barrage of airtime hills, tight turns, and inversions.
Maintenance
In certain spots around the ride, copper alloy fins have been placed to create a magnetic field that regulates the coaster's speed.[citation needed]
