cfc Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) There are a number of Vekomas I've enjoyed riding: Thunder Coaster (Tusenfryd) Kumali (Flamingoland--the only SLC that's worth a damn, I think) Expedition: Everest (Disney's Animal Kingdom) Any of their versions of Big Thunder Mountain Colorado Adventure (Phantasialand--Vekoma makes good mine trains, if you theme them up a bit) I enjoyed Rock'n'Roller Coaster in Florida when it first opened--not so much anymore.

Geauga Dog Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 The Invertigo and GIBs are my favorites.
Jerrykoala2112 Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 The ones I enjoyed the most were.... Déjà 'Vu- Six Flags Great America 13. Ninja- Six Flags Over Georgia Firehawk- Kings Island Thunderhawk- Michigan’s Adventure I do enjoy Vekoma mine trains too! SLCs aren't too bad either.
The Yeti Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Expedition Everest MOFOs!!! I also liked Borg: Assimilator or whatever it's called now.

StarTrekGeek Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Nighthawk at Carowinds. TBH, I haven't been on any bad Vekoma yet.
chargersmichael Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Rock N Roller Coaster @ WDW: Hollywood Studios
funkeymon Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Expedition Everest for me too. Its one of the few Vekomas I actually enjoy.
BaMiTsPaT Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Expedition Everest is by far the best Vekoma that I've ridden yet!
VinTheAttendant Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I love Deja Vu! When I went to SFMM, the operators there were actually some of the most enthusiastic in the entire park. Couple that with a very fun ride and call it my favorite. Expedition Everest is really enjoyable, though it's nowhere near my top favorite rides ever. The SLCs are actually pretty fun if you know how to ride them.
AstroDan Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Definitely Colorado Adventure at Phantasialand. A superb MK-900 M model, better than any of the Big Thunder's - and re-ridable. I absolutely love it.
angryemobeaver Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 1. Déjà Vu (SFOG) 2. Firehawk (KI) 3. Thunderhawk (MA) 4. Invertigo (KI) 5. Ninja (SFSTL) 6. Carolina Cobra (Carowinds) 7. Nighthawk (Carowinds) 8. Boomerang (WOF) 9. Roller skaters (IoA, SFGAM, SFKK, CP) 10. Reptards (KI & Carowinds) 11. Ninja (SFOG) I wish I could include Battlestar Galatica, it looks awesome!
ANJLOVER14 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 The GIB's I've been on are both great (Deja Vu, SFMM and Aftershock, Silverwood), and the Disney Vekomas are also very fun: BTMR in Paris, both Rock N' Roller Coasters, and Expedition Everest. As far as worsts go, Boomerang (Knott's) is the only one I hate, so yeah...
Audio111 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Big Thunder Mountain @ MK . I loved the ride, nice and smooth!
aviadigit Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Both Rock 'n' Roller Coasters, GIB's, Vekoma Minetrains, MK-900's(Vogel Rok and the terrain coaster at Tibidabo), Revolution at Bobbejaanland, Speed of Sound at Walibi World, I enjoyed all of these coasters a lot. And I guess Vekoma woodies are also just ''ok''.
Solid Gold Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 There are plenty of good Vekomas out there...but absolutely no "Superior" ones.
rcdude Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I'm still confused on whether or not Space Mountain at Disneyland is actually a Vekoma. According to RCDB, it is, but I've heard otherwise before. If that counts, it is my favorite Vekoma. If not, I'd say Deja Vu at Six Flags Magic Mountain (it likely would be Stealth/Nighthawk, but I can't remember my one ride on that from 2003 very well).
