^That would not fit on the track. It's not "new" its from a different manufacturer.

Only Bolliger and Mabbillard, to my knowledge, does the 4 across seating. The Vekoma coasters are so tightly packed that they do 2 across.

On the Giant Boomerang, the track is wider, and as a result, they can pack a V shaped 4 across.

what the hell? not with the standard type of track... Normal SLC's wheel's are on the inside. Im talkin the tight Great NorEaster, Mind Eraser, that kind...
I'm saying you can't convert 2 seat to 4 seat. Im sure you can BUILD a new type of SLC, but you can't apply 4 seat to a 2 seat design.

No, I do believe you said...

And

When Vekoma DO do SLCs with four across seating, they DO exist, they just happen to be custom.

The drop on Jubilee Odyssey is my favourite moment of any ride I have ever been on.

Yeah, they're a little rough but nothing too extreme to be frank and it doesn't hamper the experience in any way. Sometimes I think people need to be a little more realistic. Not all inverted roller coasters can be as smooth as Nemesis because parks don't have unlimited funds.

SLCs are great crowd pullers and add character to parks. Long may they continue!

Does it matter? You were asking whether Vekoma made four-across seating, period.

^ No because i even stated that the Giant Inverted Boomerang has 4 across. Someone asked if the SLC Was being made with the new 4 across seats.

I knew they were made 4 across I just couldn't find an example of one.

^To be fair, only one has been built so far, and that's been closed pretty much since it opened because a seat fell off.

However, if you spent a little time reading through some topics on here instead of posting craploads of new ones every day, you might have seen this:

Suspended Looping Coaster.

What part about that ride doesn't fit that description?

Hate is such a strong word, while Love is such a strong word too.

Tolerate it. :razz:

I went on my first SLC a week or so ago, Fly the Great Nor Easter, and it was pretty awesome. The ride was smooth, the restraints didnt bug me, and it interacted well with everything else in the tightly compact Morey's Piers park layout.
