At this year's IAAPA Expo Europe (IEE), formerly the Euro Attractions Show, Intamin will be exhibiting its LSM Double Launch Coaster Taiga.
The coaster, which successfully started operation at Linnanmäki in Finland recently, boasts a top speed of 106kmph, four inversions and a layout full of surprises, this new ride coaster is designed to get the heart racing.
The company has also recently launched its Dueling Dragons LSM Triple Launch Coaster at Guangzhou Sunac Land in China (see p83). The ride features a layout in which two trains are duelling each other with several thrilling near-miss elements.

This year’s show, set to be the largest in the event's history, will be held in Paris, at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles exhibition centre from 16 - 19 September.
It is expected to attract more than 15,000 professionals from across the leisure, tourism and entertainment industries in more than 100 countries, and will play host to the largest show floor in the event’s history, with more than 600 exhibitors in 17,500 sq m of exhibition space.
In addition the conference will offer 15 education sessions, covering a number of key topics, including: creating guest experiences, operations, communication and design. Adding to these, there will be nine in-depth learning experiences, including the IAAPA Institute for Attractions Managers at Disneyland Paris; a one-day waterpark forum; and a IAAPA Safety Institute session at Parc Astérix.
As always, networking will play a key part at the event. This year, there will be six key networking events, during which Expo attendees can mix with their peers in a more informal setting.
