iSpeed is a steel roller coaster at Mirabilandia in Italy. It was opened on May 20, 2009.
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.
Throughout the ride in certain spots copper alloy fins are placed to create a magnetic field and regulate the coasters speed.
