TogoFan Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 That SLC is a knockoff. Or a real vekoma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwoopaman Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's a real one. The trains seem to be new generation aswell. (Photo taken from the Vekoma facebook page) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I305forever Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The color scheme reminds me of the one The Great Nor'easter used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 ^^Looks good. Now if they could get rid of those vests turning the restraints into lap bars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 ^^Looks good. Now if they could get rid of those vests turning the restraints into lap bars... Curious, what benefit would that give? I'd rather have a safety redundancy than the ability to put my hands up on that particular kind of ride. A regular sit-down coaster? Sure! But this? I don't think it's necessary.

Paradox Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I actually really like those colors! I hope it rides okay with the new Vekoma trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious, what benefit would that give? I'd rather have a safety redundancy than the ability to put my hands up on that particular kind of ride. A regular sit-down coaster? Sure! But this? I don't think it's necessary. A vest isn't a safety redundancy. It's only here to help you keep your body in the upright position (EDIT: And they also allow to accommodate more body types than lap-bars (ie. fat people, people with no knee, etc)). The downside of those (in my opinion but I've read that multiple times), is that they press you on the collarbones and thus are a bit uncomfortable.

Zwoopaman Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 According to their own website they'll be getting a costum vekoma launch coaster which they say is most similar to blue fire at EP. Rollercoaster Formuła 1 - 2016In 2016 one of the fastest roller coasters in Europe will be recreated. Formula 1 is a challenge for the most courageous. The extremely long track, the speed reaching 100 km/h and the uncountable loops and slopes will make it one of the most exciting rides in your life! The most similar roller coaster called the Blue Fire is located at Europa Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradox Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I like that layout a lot. It looks like Vekoma's take on an X-car. Hopefully it turns out great I really want to see more newer gen Vekomas get built around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toysoldier Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Looks like a pretty snazzy layout. Reminds me of the Maurer coaster built at Bayern Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
