Vekoma Roller Coasters

[XmeisterI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

I think with the new track style that they've been using for the past few years, I'd give them another chance. That being said, I've been on some awful Vekomas in my time.

But just imagine, a hypercoaster with the same, smooth track style as Expedition Everest. I think it would work.

[KDCOASTERFANI prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

Lethal Weapon's new trains were designed by KumbaK and definitely deliver a better ride due to no OTSR's. I think the new Vekoma trains seen on the Great Nor'Easter look good as well.

I think Vekoma have received a bad reputation for their older looping coasters/SLC's. I hear their Booster Bike coasters and wooden coasters are actually quite smooth and fun! The new trains Vekoma are starting to put on their looping coasters and boomerangs look really good, and I'm sure are a huge improvement. It seems Vekoma are finally realizing that a rider comfort is actually important when making a coaster...

Give them a bit of time & they might become as good as B&M,I like the new layout for the flyer but let's see if they've improved the reliability.

Unfortunately we'll never know if they've fixed the reliability issues. Not much is known about the new GIB in China and how it's doing nor has anyone built a new flyer except for that Stingray concept, also in China, which Vekoma no longer offers on their site.

I read a few reviews of the Stingray in China and it's apparently awesome! Reability is another thing...
Would really love to see the new flyer get built!

I visited in Jan and the GIB broke down while I was on it and got stuck for an 30mins on the first tower, the ride then never reopened. The Stingray then broke down the next day soon after the opening of the park and never reopened.

Maybe i caught them on a bad day. but in my experience they weren't too reliable
