Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']').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 74.6 MPH launch 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

Throughout the ride in certain spots copper alloy fins are placed to create a magnetic field and regulate the coasters speed.
