There's something hilariously Bristolian about it, but I'd have to modify slightly.
Ver-comb-er.
Words can't end in vowels down here, if they do they have to have an 'r' added.

I never knew Vekoma stood for Verld Coning Mberchinefabriek.There's something hilariously Bristolian about it, but I'd have to modify slightly.

I'm guessing that's the kiddie coaster right? Rather than the Boomerang or STC.Track pieces are now being manufactured

Yes. After all the description says "opening next year" and "#familycoaster".

Another one of this model has appeared at Fantawild Xuzhou in China. So here's a sneak peak at what this new ride at Tayto will look like when finished. (except more blue)

Tayto Park to spend €30m on three new rollercoasters
Revenue halved in 2020 as park was shut for much of year
Work on Dino Dash appears to be well underway judging by a photo on RCDB taken earlier this month.
Again, not clones of Hals-Über-Kopf and Voldampf, although the stats are very close upon comparison. As of today, Duane's considered them on a safely stable timeline and they are now listed.

Yeah - me too.
My feelings will likely be mostly dependent on what they change the name to.

Could open a Gringotts style coaster and call it 'Tom's Missing Millions!'
Too soon?

I irrationally hate this because of the rare alliteration of Q, yet it having completely different sounds. But at the same time, I'd kinda love it because of that.
Just rename it Potato Park though.

That's pomme de terrible, Serena. Just not very a-peeling at all. Yam must be starch raving mad if you think they'll ever use that. Sorry, but taters gonna tate.
I'll get me jacket...
Strong puns so far, but I await a thread-winner from @ChristianPalsson.

On a serious note, albeit somewhat a longshot thought, I wonder if Merlin would consider buying Tayto Park?
It's a solid park which fits their style. It has room for growth, improvement and to become a resort. It would suit Merlin's bragging rights: "Ireland's biggest theme park". If they wanted, they could even consider transforming it into Legoland Ireland. It could also be included in the UK pass, to make it seem better value whilst also not affecting things much.
We've seen since the changes at the top they're keen to invest in the parks, and Merlin have been no stranger to looking at buying parks (anyone remember the Sea World proposal a while back?). And it expands their portfolio.
I should say, I don't think this is the most likely thing. But, I wouldn't rule it out just yet...
