A quick list of new rides some of which we know about some of which we don't. all rides are assumed to be for 2009 unless stated.

sam06pr Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 ugh! the dual coaster at Universal Singapore is going to be a Vekoma. I would of prefer some other ride manufacture. What about the other coaster Manufacturer? Like B&M? Nonetheless some of this ride look interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airtime&Gravity Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Wow, it sounds like 2009 will be a better coaster year than I previously thought. The chance for two world's fastest coasters to open is good, and I hope the one in the UAE has a better layout than TTD or KK. The Vekoma Big Air is a coaster that I never expected to see built, and I'm interested to see what it will be like when it opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattnz Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The Vekoma Big Air is a coaster that I never expected to see built, and I'm interested to see what it will be like when it opens. Me too. I like the sheer size of the thing (though the idea is a little similar to Intamin's Half Pipe...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 A few other notes. The Premier tower coaster for F1-X sounds like a cross between superman: The escape and the Vekoma Big Air Coasters. The ride is said to be launched down a track and up an 80m tower before the cars rotate so riders plummet face first back down. The Italian job style coaster also at F1-X will be themed to vintage racing cars No Intamins planned in the US so far? I must mention this is by no means a complete list. For example we know Vekoma have a mine train opening at Happy Valley Chengdu but there's no mention of it on the EAS page. A few non coaster related notes Happy Valley Shanghai will get a flying island and a Gyro swing from Intamin too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Sounds interesting, I also agree that this year is much more interesting than I first imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
