BDG Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Wow. The park just announced another new coaster. Apparently they're planning a GCI wooden coaster. The park posted a photo of the GCI booth at EAS, with the following description: "Just back from Sweden, full of new ideas and concepts for Energylandia. In this photo one of the attractions that is scheduled for installation in our park." source: Energylandia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Wow this will be a great addition to this park. Is it going to be a more family-oriented GCI or a bigger design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwoopaman Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Where do they keep getting the cash for all these new rides? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 ^Haha. It does sound surprising how they continue to announce new coasters considering how new the park is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rill'o'beily Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Generally i'd say vekoma is a great and underrated manufacturer. Besides their older boomerangs and slcs, they make great coasters, And i'm just so happy to see someone investing in them! Poland is actually not that far away from where i live, so flights should be cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I hadn't realized that loop had such an odd shape. I wonder how it'll ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaky Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 ^ I think it's more a sidewinder than a loop. I'm very curious to see how this will turn out when it's finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Looks like the ride is done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 ^Certainly didn't take them long with vertical construction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 That's a lot of low to the ground turns and fast transitions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rill'o'beily Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 It looks awesome! Gotta make my way to poland soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Though I'm not a Vekoma fan, I'm curious to see how this turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Twisty! And some close-ups of the train, or at least some parts of it: photos: Vekoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'm impressed with that coaster, really good from Vekoma, just hope it's not rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 ^ Actually, what was the last rough Vekoma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 ^That's what I thought too. I mean, they get this reputation mostly because of their older rides and it makes you wonder if they still deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I mean seriously, back in the 80's the only manufacturer not making horrible coasters is Schwarzkopf. Vekoma had the most successful business and they sold more coasters than anyone else. They were actually pushing the technology limits instead of copy and pasting the same inversion from the mid-70s or only building the same vertical loop over and over again. Why so much hate towards them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) ^ Actually, what was the last rough Vekoma? That's probably Odyssey (2002), their last design with an Arrow-track. (2014) Seven Dwarfs (2013) Bandit Bomber (2012) Big Grizzly Mountain (2011) Ben 10 (2010) Battlestar Galactica (2009) Stingray (2008) Muntanya Russa (2007) Kvasten (2007) Jimmy Neutron (2005) Expedition Everest (2005) Space Mountain HK (2004) Booster Bike (2004) Oki Doki (2002) Odyssey Edited March 23, 2016 by BDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rill'o'beily Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Now looking at it considering they've made all these great disney coasters etc they're kind of underrated aren't they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
