ECZenith Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Stingrock, Everest is a Vekoma, but the track is a completely new design. Vekoma also designed the REALLY light cars to make for a longer train, hence shorter waits in line.
dougr Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 I have only been on two Vekomas (I think) and Ninja at SFStL takes the cake. Nice airtime in the back seat, and an overall fun experience that is only rough in one area (and if you brace yourself its not bad at all). LOVED it new as Scream Machine at Expo 86
Cheesey Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Rock 'n' Roller coaster at Disney's MGM studios is my favorite, but I also liked Ninja at Six Flags Over Georgia.(in the front row assuming the "Vekoma brace position" to prevent headbanging. )It actually has a fairly cool layout.
GeorgiaDawg278 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Mine favorite Vekoma is either Deja Vu or BORG at PCW. They are both fun and semi-smooth.
coasterguy618 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Rock'n'Roller Coaster. Better than the two other Vekomas I have been on, a SLC and a Boomerang.
CycloneMan Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 There is such a thing? Â I'd have to say Boomerang at The Great Escape. Smooth as glass! Â NO!
QueerRudie Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 SFA's Two Face- Never been disappointed by that one.
Guest Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Favourite Vekoma for me has to be Velocity at Flamingo Land, nice and smooth as well
darklight_tr Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I really liked both of the Flying Dutchmans I have ridden, X-Flight and Batwing. Â In fact, I enjoyed them more than Superman: Ultimate Flight at Six Flags Great America! The only exciting element on Superman was the pretzel loop. After that, it wasn't so fun.
Delirium Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Everest by far is the best Vekoma I've been on. It's super smooth and excellantly themed and provides a unique experiance that only Disney can offer.
Nrthwnd Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars  Hong Kong Disneyland  Not too complex a layout, but it's still a nice family coaster, with a bit of a thrill packed into it, in the latter part of the ride.  I could ride it again and again, easy.
azza29 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Arkham Asylum at Movie World - since the retheme and new trains this thing has taken on a new life! Turns out that SLCs are actually pretty good rides when the headbanging is removed.
cal1br3tto Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 1. Giant Inverted Boomerangs 2. Flying Dutchmans 3. Invertigos 4. The Great Nor'Easter  Aftershock is still in my top 10 steel, if only because it hasn't personally given me a reason to move it out; I'll wait 'til I ride it again to re-evaluate. And yes, I'm in the camp who feels that Great Nor'Easter is, in fact, a fun ride for what it is, rather than just as bad as or worse than the other SLCs.
Erik_73 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I got to love them all... but Colorado Adventure @ Phantasialand is my favorite.
TheFancyPants Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Arkham Asylum at Movie World. Now super smooth with the new trains.
kailisun98 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Mountain Peak (GIB) @ Jinjiang Action park cause its the ONLY Vekoma that I have not gotten a Kong-cussion and is actually smooth and thrilling. (I'm lookin at you SFDK!!! GET NEW TRAINS FOR KONG!!!)
Geauga Dog Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Definitely the Giant Inverted Boomerangs but I'll also add SFOG's Ninja as my favorite of the full circuit Vekoma coasters.
TPDave Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Probably Everest or Rock n roller coaster in Paris. Both far more for the theming than the actual rides themselves!!
Double0Kevin Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I didn't care for Everest, but I loved Rock N' Roller Coaster. The ride formerly known as Invertigo at CGA is another high point.
TPDave Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 ^I think everest is a good "fun" ride. It's great for families, has a good story and impressive theming and it's in a massive mountain!  I prefer Rock n roller coaster in Paris because the ride room has much more impressive theming, the light show is great  Florida's is still fun and I really like the audio package but France is just ahead IMO.
coasterbill Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I love their flying coasters, I don't understand why people have an issue with them. The same goes for the giant inverted boomerangs.
