cymonster-rex Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Does Vekoma make rides for Universal? Cause there is a image of a ride that looks like it could use a track like this Universal's been filing for some new patents, and two of them may be recognizable to Nintendo fans: Boom coaster: This is a unique arm that would attach to a ride vehicle to help enhance rides that appear to be on a track system, but are actually controlled by a separate arm. For example, the arm could be C-shaped connected to a secondary hidden track underneath the track guests see. As a result, rides that have story element breaks in the track — say like an upcoming jump from one track to another — could cause suspense. "Because the passenger may believe that the simulated ride surface controls a path of the passenger vehicle, the passenger may fear or anticipate that the passenger vehicle may crash or otherwise incur damage as a result of the elevated gap," said the patent. This has many fans thinking it could also be related to Nintendo via the Donkey Kong Country video game series, which features areas with cars traveling through dangerous mines filled with jumps, dips and turns.

_ben1098_ Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Could it be a testing system for some kind of flying coaster? It wouldn't surprise me because insiders of Phantasialand said that they will build a Vekoma Flying Coaster in Rookburgh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julioot Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Website www.looopings.nl made an announcement and they confirmed Phantasialand ordered an Spectaculair Flying coaster. This is a rumor and definitely not confirmed, allthough looopings usually is pretty spot-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
