Absolutely no idea, but it wasn't going to pass my mess of neurons without making a big bonging sound

The original was German and there was a Vicky the Viking movie made about 2 years ago (live action). It doesn't seem to have a large cultural following though, so who knows?

Well I suppose it could be based around the film if it's not that old. A bit of a weak link though. Think I'll just pretend it's the 80s cartoon - it'll make me a lot happier!

I've never heard of Vicky The Viking.

At first I thought Vicky was a girl because it's a feminine name. I watched a clip on YouTube and realised he's quite poofy so I see why they went for a girl's name.

I think it looks quite funky, better than Dizz anyway. Though one MCBR may cause capacity issues.

^ Not really, since they didn't really dispatch the next car until the previous one were at the final brakes...

Looks actually fun. It may not spin that much but it makes up for it in a very good layout.
