Neogreeneyez Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Alot of people on TPR bash Vekoma's pretty hard these days... But someone has to like them, and even better the people who don't like them might like one or two. Maybe a Boomerang, or Expedition Everest, or maybe even Deja Vu... what's your favorite?
ECZenith Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Disney/MGM's Rock 'n Roller Coaster Haven't ridden Everest yet, and I love Aerosmith and LIMs.
CKY Lunatic Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Definitely gotta say SFEG's Boomerang...but only in Car 4.
SFOGdude25 Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 DEJA VU!!! It's pretty smooth, and has good on the spikes!
USRoadTripper Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Favorite one ever is Chaos from Opryland. Favorite currently operating one would be Rock N Roller Coaster. -Julie
Darien Laker Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I never realized this but I don't have a problem with many of the ones i've been on. RRC at MGM is really smooth. SFDL's Boomerang is really smooth too, and the train is actually very padded. I loved Batwing at SFA, that one is probably my favorite. I guess the only ones I've been on that I don't like are the SLC's, which i've found very rough.
mike541x Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Rock-n-roller coaster my first upside down ride. It was smooth except for the corkscrew. It hurts to say this but SLC are fun but painful.....but fun.
YoshiFan Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I have only been on a few Vekoma's but my favorite is Great Noreaster at Morey's Piers (a SLC). It wasn't that rough and I thought it was fun.
TheStig Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 3 way tie between Deja Vu (SFGAm), X-Flight, and Rock N Roller Coaster. They are all pretty smooth and suprisingly good for vekomas! I though Thunderhawk at GL was pretty good too! Colin C
FeelTheFORCE Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 The only Vekomas I can recall ever being on are X-Flight and Head spin both at GL. And X-Flight is MUCH better.
trustkill22 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 When im willing to take a beating and aint in a pissed off mood I enjoy a good old SLC.
Jon Sabo Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 ^I put the mother-in-law on those (SLC) when I want to be evil..lol
coaster_maniac Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Definitely either the Vu or Rock 'n Roller Coaster If you're asking which is better for a thrill--then it's the Vu If you're asking which is a better overall fun experience--I'll go with Rock 'n Roller Coaster
BeemerBoy Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Favorite one ever is Chaos from Opryland. Wow. Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I don't seem to remember much chaotic about it though. In fact, I've seen moving sidewalks better than that thing. But hey, at least I agree with Rock'n Roller Coaster though.
Stitch Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Of the ones I have been on I like Runaway Reptar the best, it's fun!
jamesdillaman Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Hmmmm, my favorite Vekoma, huh? I don't know, which one is the shortest again? -James Dillaman
downunder Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Only been on SFMM Deja Vu, a couple of SLC's and a Runaway Reptar. Definitely Deja Vu, I thought that was actually a good ride.
CP_RULES Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 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).
kennywood!007 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Geauga Lake's Thunderhawk, I really enjoyed it! It wasn't the smoothest thing i ever ridden but the pads really helped, so it didn't bother me!
Angry_Gumball Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 My favorite Vekoma would have to be Invertigo. I don't really bash Vekoma in a hateful manner...I just like to poke fun.
pete4winds Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I think I can carrow mine down to two: Batwing - it was my first flyer, in its opening season... Sidewinder, Hershey - certainly nothing spectacular on its own, but I happen to love its location.
sixflagsmagicmountain Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 My favorite would have to be Deja Vu at SFMM. It's pretty fun, not too rough either.
