Video and description in the link above describes "Demon", the park's new-for-2014 Vekoma Waikiki Super Flip attraction. (Even though it uses some footage of King Chaos at Great America.)

These things are out of control - more so than the normal top spin. I rode the one at Six Flags Mexico and I had no idea what was going on. Definitely a good choice ride wise.

Obvious question, is this new or 2nd hand?

131ft tall? Surely that's a customised version?

This new attraction will provide an adrenaline rush like no other when it lifts riders up 40 meters in the you can't fool me and flips them head-over-heels, swinging them side-to-side for a wild adventure.

Two conflicting pieces of information in one single release... hmm.

^ Probably meant 40 feet . I couldn't imagine that this type of ride would be 40 metres tall, cool as that would be.

Re: La Ronde | "Demon" | Vekoma Waikiki Super Flip

40 feet sounds rather short but seems correct looking at off-rides of the ones in Mexico. But seriously, holy ****. Those things look absolutely mental.

Can a mod pin this? Please and thank you.

I wonder if this is indeed the model from SFMex... its the only one owned by SFI and I don't think Vekoma is making them anymore. I'm also kinda amused the park is getting this as they've just removed their Huss Topspin in the last 2-3 years!

When do you think we will start seeing construction updates on Screamscape.

 

[Lofty]

When there's some to see. Stop asking in EVERY topic...

Yeah. Today was media preview and it opens to the public on Saturday. Here's a video from the park's Facebook page.
