Thanks for this. I guess this is another prototype? I guess it isn't routine for them to build part of a new coaster if there isn't something new to test right?

[MrRC]

Hi,

 

This is something totaly unexpected from Vekoma.

 

Possible options ? :

 

1. Junior Tiltcoaster ?

2. Junior Launch Coaster ?

 

It will take some time to find out. Did u noticed the very light blueish track in the background ?(1st picture)

I think it is a piece of track from the Dive pretzl .loop coaster. A while back was there the lift hill test. The track looks very similar to me.

 

Possible options....

- maybe a new sitdown (spinning) coaster? Spinnig is not in there product range now...Prototype based on the rotation system for F.L.Y. Phantasialand?

- maybe a new track style for the SLC? It is really needed...

- a tilt coaster would be awesome!!

 

Lets see the upcoming weeks...

 

I really hope a new SLC track system!!

[MrRC]

I added a zoomed picture so u can see the track :

 

 

I love all the speculations.

[Skip6788]

Aahhh!! Now I see sorry!...I thought the little (short) blue one...but that ones...looks promissing! Vekoma is putting some top contenders on the market lately

[CSLKennyNI]

Hasn't there been rumours that they are working on a new gen. Tilt coaster. Perhaps this will be a prototype for that?

Energylandia in Poland is looking to install one for 2020 - and they have worked with Vekoma quite a lot especially with the new gen. LSM launch coaster F1 debuting there.

[AidanCKY]

If the Tilt Coaster rumour is true... that's exciting. Would love to have a go on one.

I don't think this is SLC track. I feel this is a new sit-down coaster prototype they're testing for. Hence where the track and (presumably) the support connects is facing upwards.

New images : (Dec 19th 2017), Looks like Vekoma is gonna do a Spinner test :

Vekoma’s answer to the Mack Xtreme Spinner? Sounds exciting.

[MrRC]

Sounds indeed very exciting. Soon some special products gonna be preduced out of the Magic Hi Hat of Vekoma.

[Skip6788]

Nice pics! Thanks MrRC!

 

But what is the grey and the sand/brown track at the background?

[MrRC]

I don't know. But i will take a closer picture with the next update if they still there.

[DBru]

Test for Guardians of the Galaxy, perhaps?

[MrRC]

I don't know, yet, to little rumor yet.
