Vekoma New-Gen Coasters Discussion Thread

[opivy028]

Well sh*t, if you ever get down on yourself and your life, you can always look to Vekoma for a miraculous example of a glow up that no one expected well into Vekoma’s adulthood/mid life. Some of us are late bloomers

Can't wait to see two of these at Energylandia in the next 5 years.

 

[Hixee]

Merged the two threads as we already have a long running thread about Vekoma's new announcements.

I like the roll. It's similar to what was on Batman and Robin at SFGADV

Doing the roll backwards on Chiller with the lapbar train is to this day the best inversion I've done <3

Have you not had the pleasure of experiencing Veloci's Maverick roll yet? Just thought I'd ask, seeing as you're from Orlando and it seems to be universally agreed that is one of the best inversions ever.

 

[CanobieFan]

Oh. I've been on VC a whole bunch ♡ (get to drive past it every daayyy)
But the Chiller roll, especially going backwards, was truly an experience

The roll through the station got to be Vekoma's new 'mark'.
I like that. Want to see it more. Top of my head, the new one in Denmark en Lech in Poland have it.

I am so hoping for a Vekoma Next gen coaster in my home park 6 Km away.

I love how wacky Vekoma is getting with their designs! Even without the track design itself, we’ve reached a point where we could look at a layout and say “that’s distinctly Vekoma” and I love that.

Vekoma announced a new model in the last EAP Magazin, the Super Boomerang. The train will be launched by a multi-pass-launch on two spikes that will finish on a same "tower". The first coaster of this model will open in a Fantawild park.

In der aktuellen Ausgabe des EAP Magazins wirbt Vekoma mit einem neuen Achterbahnlayout namens "Super Boomerang". Allem Anschein nach handelt es sich dabei um eine Anlage mit Pendellaunch und einem Turm, an dem beide Spikes der Bahn enden. Die erste Auslieferung wird an einen Park der...

A little bit of time today meant I decided to have a look through some known under construction Fantawild to see if I could dig up anything on this. Apart from finding 2 previously unknown to me parks currently going up I also noticed this on the Xuzhou Fantawild artworks.

Seems to fit the Super Boomerang bill to me.

 

[roomraider]

Sorry for the double post. But just to say the latest Vekoma reference list confirms the Super Boomerang is for Fantawild Xuzhou. Which is why the ride has just been added to the rcdb.

Got in there a whole 24 hours early with my educated guess.

Oooh yes please, that looks like an cracking little layout.

Make sure you turn your sound up to the max when watching that video .

 

[JoshC.]

Wow, looks like a cracking ride.

At first I thought this model only had 3 inversions? But then as I watched it I counted 1, 2, 3, 4...

Spoiler

uno, dos, tres, quatro!

It looks like Vekoma are launching a new gen boomerang:

I'm surprised they didn't do this sooner given the popularity of the old boomerang, and the family boomerangs. Looks like great fun to me.

This is actually just the first time they are acknowledging it on their Insta account. They previously announced it in a magazine last fall. The first installation is believed to be heading to Fantawild Xuzhou.

And up goes the first one

I cannot wait to see a POV

 

[adrenaline1996]

Just a note that the Thrill Glider model isn't a flyer. It's more like an Inverted motorbike.

Has there been any recent rumours of this ride type coming to fruition?
