Intamin’s Next-Gen Family Coaster Is Heading to Brazil’s Beto Carrero World

Big news is coming out of Brazil’s largest theme park. Intamin is set to deliver a highly advanced, next-generation family roller coaster to Beto Carrero World — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most ambitious attractions of its kind anywhere in the world.

Opening as part of a brand-new SpongeBob-themed land in 2028, this isn’t just another family ride. It’s a record-breaking engineering showcase designed to redefine what a “family coaster” can be.

A Family Coaster… With Serious Ambition

At 1.4 km of track, this will be one of the longest family roller coasters ever built, immediately placing it among the most impressive rides in its category.

But it’s not just about length. The layout will feature an incredible 18 airtime moments, giving riders that sought-after zero-gravity sensation. This is typically something you’d expect on major thrill coasters, not family rides—highlighting just how ambitious this project really is.

The result? A coaster that bridges the gap between accessible family fun and genuine coaster thrills.

A Mind-Bending Indoor Experience

Midway through the ride, guests will enter a fully enclosed indoor scene that promises to be one of the ride’s standout moments.

This immersive section will feature a dynamic animated environment where the usual rules of physics are turned upside down. Riders can expect a disorienting, surprising sequence where “up” and “down” appear to shift, creating a unique sensory experience rarely seen on family coasters.

It’s a bold move that blends roller coaster action with dark ride storytelling, adding a whole new layer to the attraction.

Innovative Ride Technology Making Its Latin American Debut

This new attraction isn’t just long and immersive—it’s packed with cutting-edge features, many of which are firsts for the region.

Dynamic Fast Switch

The coaster will introduce the first Intamin Fast Switch in Latin America, a clever track-switching element that adds unpredictability to the ride while keeping operations smooth and efficient.

Dual-Level Seating

For the first time on the continent, riders will be seated side-by-side on two different ارتفاع levels, offering varied perspectives and a more dynamic ride experience within the same train.

High Capacity Operations

With a dual-loading station and five trains operating simultaneously, the ride is designed for maximum throughput, helping to keep queues moving even during peak seasons.

This coaster is just one part of a much larger vision.

Located within a new SpongeBob-themed land, the attraction will be interwoven with a second high-end ride, creating a space filled with motion, interaction, and energy.

This means guests won’t just be watching the action—they’ll be surrounded by it. The area will feel alive, with rides interacting visually and physically to create a constantly evolving atmosphere.

Should You Add Brazil to Your Theme Park Bucket List?

With a planned 2028 opening, this coaster is already shaping up to be:
