Re: Fun Spot Action Park | Freedom Fighter | Vekoma SFC
^Nah, Kvasten's actually quite fun for a family coaster. Part of that is down to location and theming, but this will be decent enough.
I hate the name though. So "U.S.A! U.S.A!"
I'm surprised it's not being painted red, white and blue to be honest.

Thought I would go ahead & re-post the Freedom Flyer section of my Fun Spot expansion construction report here for those only interested in the park's suspended coaster. More info can also seen in the videos at the top of my main report:

A couple of things I would like to mention to start are that RCDB has the name wrong - it's Freedom Flyer, not Freedom Fighter (as Martyn corrected in the topic's title). This is also the only one of it's kind in the Americas & the second one in the world to be built (Kvasten at Gröna Lund being the first).
All photos were taken over a two day period, with the first day being taken from around the park perimeter & the second day closeups taken during Mark's construction tour.
Lots of photos of Freedom Flyer's supports & track.
On to Freedom Flyer's construction.
Footers being finished off one day...
...and completed the next.
The lift hill start (foreground) & helix supports.
One of the station foundations.
Since 2006 Chance & Vekoma have worked together to build three suspended family coasters under license in the U.S. market. This one will be the last under that license agreement, but Chance Rides will continue to provide spare parts & technical service for all the rides built together with Vekoma.

Didn't like the colour scheme however now it's going up, it's looking rather nice.
As I explained in my photo report on the previous page (directly above the TPR photos Martyn posted), this is the last of the four Vekoma family suspended coasters to be built by Chance Rides in the USA under the licensing agreement between the two companies. So yes - it's a Vekoma coaster, but it's being built & maintained by Chance.
The others under the agreement are similarly built.

When I think freedom/patriotism, I don't think blue and yellow.
Then again, I'm not Ukrainian.
