Impactful, aggressive, and inspired by the style of painting, Impasto is an Intamin Blitz that I have been working on for about three days. It came to me after spending a weekend looking exploring art museums in Philadelphia, thus leading to it's name. Impasto is a style of painting in which oil paint is laid upon the canvas quickly and heavily with no obvious desire to look smooth at all. In my mind, Impasto was something that was intentional, yet highly intense; therefore, the ride itself is an attempt to parallel that idea.
Quick transitions, strong airtime, fast inversions, and constant changing of direction all seem to go along with the technique of a painter moving his brush along a canvas. The ride tries to mimic the changing brush strokes and paint application as it swirls and twists through the wooded island that it resides on.
This is just another fun project that I have been working on that I couldn't wait to show everyone! I plan on releasing it soon, hopefully by the end of this week (hopefully Saturday!)
