aviadigit Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I was driving past the Vekoma factory in Schiedam, The Netherlands today, and I saw this truck with green track on it. Does anyone know wich coaster this could be for? Here's the picture(sorry for the crappy quality, but I took the picture with my cellphone while I was driving!!) http://www.imagebam.com/image/0bebfa39245575 aviadigit
Guest Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I don't think so but they have the new hyper trains so everyone thinks Hyper is next on their list.
MattC Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 It's very early and I highly doubt it but could this be being sent to Alton Towers for their 2010 coaster? It's unlikely but that's the only possibility I can think of.
DBru Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Looks more like the newer junior coaster track. (Oki Doki) It's most likely the track for Dragon Coaster at Universal Studios Singapore.
matteocrepaldi Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I don't think they use that kind of truck to ship to Singapore. It's probably for some European project.
Airtime&Gravity Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 According to RCDB, there is a park being built in Italy called WondeRome. It is confirmed to have a Vekoma mine train, and RCDB lists a website that shows a launched Intamin and a Gerstlauer spinning coaster. However, the website listed won't take you to the correct page anymore. So this could be another park that could receive this coaster. WondeRome on RCDB
B-RadG Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Hmm Alton Towers sounds plausible since they just ditched a classic first-of-it's-kind (in the UK) Vekoma. Why not add a first-of-it's-kind in the world from Vekoma? That's not Mine Train track, Vekoma's mine trains use the track similar to that of Arrows and all, with the wheels running the inside of the rails.
Airtime&Gravity Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 ^I know it isn't mine train track, but the track could still be going to the park for a coaster that hasn't been announced yet. Alton Towers is a possibility, but I'm sticking with Intamin for SW6. Of course, I think it is most likely that this is just for a kiddie/family coaster that will just go to some local European park.
