TheCoasterKid211 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Holy crap, Vekoma's making some good stuff lately. What's gotten into them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSLKennyNI Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The park has renamed itself to Legendia. http://www.legendia.pl/ Definitely easier to say than Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rill'o'beily Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The park has renamed itself to Legendia. http://www.legendia.pl/ Definitely easier to say than Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko. I checked out the website and it seems they're also repainting and retheming lots of their rides to a more fantasy theme, also renaming them into english to be more appealing for tourists (probably to compete with energylandia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The roll over the station looks beautiful. This ride is liturally the perfect mix of airtime, inversions, themeing and being compact. New top coaster for the world? Not quite, but soon Vekoma will be owning the polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 If that things rides even half as good as it looks, Vekoma will have a sure-fire hit on their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVA62 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Wow, very cool! That first element after the drop is going to be crazy, really fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Wow I'd love to see a Vekoma like that in the US. That drop looks outstanding and the trains look really cool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exedeusex Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 This layout is insane. Poland has quickly found it's place on my future European coaster trip. Can't wait to ride this one in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Vekoma just posted a video of the maiden run on facebook. For a first run it definitely seems to carry some decent speed! Warning! (vertical video) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pear Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Here's a video from the park [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 That looks really intense... both with positive and negative forces. Vekoma is really upping their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Looks good! Very fluid and original, and that drop should be nuts in the back row. Although the first video was shot vertically, I like that it catches the raw sounds of the ride. A lot of the European parks seem to favor cinematic soundtracks and/or glossy production values in their footage; understandable, but I prefer the "coasters in the raw" approach, which I think gives a better feel for the personality of a ride. Lord, the previous sentence was nerdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mater Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 This thing is so god damn amazing. To think, these people made the boomerang. What a come back story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 It sucks. ...Who am I kidding? This looks absolutely incredible! Good to see other manufacturers besides intamin making great stuff lately. More chances to see something of this calibre built in North America, seeing as intamin hasn't been too active here lately.

RyanTPM Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 God this coaster is good, they're doing a fantastic job with the theming so far as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaffstar Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Here's a way better video made by the park: [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] Looks pretty insane for the first test run. The First drop looks like it would kick all sorts of ass in the last row! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rougarou Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 https://rcdb.com/5637.htm. The ride cost 4.36 million euros and a 1 eoro is 1.11 dollars. So this coaster is a great value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Vekoma just posted a video of the maiden run on facebook. For a first run it definitely seems to carry some decent speed! Warning! (vertical video) The best thing about this video is that if you look closely you can see the guy standing next to the guy shooting it shooting his own video and also doing it incorrectly.

PKI Jizzman Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I hope it rides as well as it looks! Great job Vekoma. I'm excited to hear reviews once it opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rill'o'beily Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 The ride cost 4.36 million euros So this thing is cheaper than an S&S Freespin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelForceless Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 This ride looks awesome! If it rides as well as it looks, then it'll be great. Combined with the low price tag, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a few of these pop up elsewhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 So this thing is cheaper than an S&S Freespin? No it is not. The ride is built in Poland where wages is 1/3 of Western Europe. Sure the rides hardware and the specialized team assembling it cost the same, but everything else about it is much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rill'o'beily Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Sure the rides hardware and the specialized team assembling it cost the same, but everything else about it is much cheaper. If the hardware and the team assembling it cost the same, what is there left to cost less besides theming (which doesn't count in the cost anyway)? Unless the track and trains were also made in poland I don't see how the wages there affect the cost of the ride but maybe I'm just not getting what you're saying. (if im just not understanding something blatantly obvious i'd just like to defend myself by saying this is my 20th hour awake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 While I have no idea where the track/trains for this coaster was built, I did spot this on the Vekoma website: Vekoma Rides Manufacturing has production facilities for track production and train assembly, which facilities are located in the Netherlands, Eastern Europe and China, allowing production at locations that best fit the clients’ destination.The facilities have contemporary equipment, like pipe bending machines, CNC controlled cutting machines, several milling machines, plane machines, saw bench and composing machines, rolling machine and carousels with rotating tables. https://www.vekoma.com/index.php/col1/production-facilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also use Huisman outside of Xiamen in China for their installations in that part of the world. I'd imagine this came from either the Czech Republic or Slovakia.
