MAHUKA POV - Intamin Hot Racer - Walibi Rhône-Alpes
POV, Mahuka, Walibi Rhone Alps: Building upon its predecessor at Luna Park in Australia, the new HOT RACER model has undergone significant enhancements. The chassis was significantly refined to enhance ride comfort and ensure an even better fit to the track. Additionally, the brand-new carbon fiber lap bars contribute to a lighter train and lower center of gravity, enhancing the experience with an even smoother ride.
Height 18,5 m (60 ft)
Length 600 m (1970 ft)
Number of launches 2
Max speed (Launch 2) 67 km/h (42 mph)
Number of airtimes 13
Inversions 3
POV provided by Intamin
"Mahuka, meaning “escape” in Hawaiian, invites visitors to explore the heart of an abandoned temple built in honor of the God of Fire on a secluded island in the South Pacific. But be careful not to provoke the God’s sacred fire, or risk becoming a prisoner of the temple! Escape the site, conquer your fears, and brace yourself for an unforgettable ride, full of sensations you won’t want to miss!"

The sound of that launch scratches me brain in the best way
An insane coaster, I rode it 13 times ! Great ejectors, great positives, great launch, and beautiful theming

In some videos it looks to have a bit of a shuffle. Did you notice any such roughness in spots?

@@ItsDannyRobbins Update : I rode it 54 times 😂. I felt nothing particularly unpleasant. The train runs very well. Train number 2 runs a little bit smoother than train 1 but really nothing disturbing, you can chain ride Mahuka super easily without having a headache. The vibrations are quite soft and really not enough to spoil a ride. If you have other questions, feel free to ask them
This coaster is brilliant, looks like so much fun!
The fact theyre just using friction wheels for the launches is somehow mindblowing... after all those years of LIM and such. I guess its the most cost-effective way for lighter rollercoaster-trains like these?

I wonder, could Intamin can equip this model with LSMs on request?
Cool. I hope they sell a bunch of em
Looks like a really cool ride! I love the sound of the launches😂
Absolutely nuts. Love the whip this thing looks to have! C'est cinglé. J'adore le côté fouetté de cette machine!
That looks absolutely bonkers. Love it!
That looks like a crazy smooth ride 😮
for long enough i thought the vid was a simulation nice work
It looks so smooth!
That looks like real fun!😊
cool backyard coaster :D
I have done it dipper at Luna park and that was great so can’t wait to go here only an hour in the Eurostar from London

a single rail coaster, because if we close the gaps off between two rails, its technically whatever we wanna call it

@@ninjapwnsatlyfeit's honestly so silly to call this a single rail coaster when the wheels clearly ride on 2 separate rails.
Those tire launch systems seems to work just as well as LIM tech. Why aren’t they used more ?

My guess is they are only effective for low-capacity, lighter weight trains. For example, Velocicoaster can seat 24 people per train, whereas this single rail hot racer can only seat 9 in a single row. Presumably tire launches would never work for Velocicoasters much larger trains.

Lower max speed, too.
Someone said this is a single rail velocicoaster and thats definitely true, a lot of similarities
Hot racers are great, rode the big dipper in luna park Sydney, it was dope
Beautiful engineering
How this coaster breaks is the best it's not rough, and Jerky, and the acceleration is glass smooth.
I wonder if this is rough like the other Intamin Hot Racer :P
First time I watched this I didn’t realize my video was at 1.5x speed. I was blown away by the speed and pacing. Then I saw it again on normal speed and am disappointed.

It’s funny that a coaster with such a sleek and futuristic looking design has such a low tech launching system.

It is a tiny bit, but it's mainly due to the seat foam not moving correctly, the issue will surely not be one after a few tweaks

Is a side effect of the narrow wheel base. It does not actually not feel as annoying as seen in the video.
these tracks look like Chuggington
some people are saying this is a worse version of the raptor i have to agree. nah jk it looks just as good maybe even better then some raptors, and i havent ridden either model so i cant say shit
R.I.P RMC Raptor because Intamin just killed it.
It reached that speed with drive tires?

Moviepark Studio Tour has a drive tire launch too and its faster than their mack launch coaster. And the train is 6 rows with 2 seats, so i assume its heavier than Mahuka trains

IntAmIn is the manufacturer, Hot Racer is the model name. It's like RMC's Raptors except with a launch and lapbars rather than a lift hill and OTSRs.

So disappointed in the color choice of track paint. They could have made it really fun with any other choice
