JamesMC Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I actually like Deja Vu- the big problem I have with that ride is it's intermittent operating schedule, though I will have to say that SFGA has it running more often than not. They still have a very slow reload though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastered Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 My favorite Vekoma ever is Stealth, that flyer @ PGA. And PGA's Invertigo coming second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinb Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 By far my favourite is Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris, closely followed by Rock 'n' Rollercoaster. Â Unlike alot people, I don't mind Boomerangs, in fact I quite like them, although later this year I will be riding an 18 year old Boomerang, with its original train.

thomas2 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I really like Vampire at WB, a SLC. Â But when I'm gonna ride Stuntfall this summer, I think that will be the winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oriolat Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I like Stunt Fall and yes, it is a GIB and quite reliable... A second close to it would be Space Mountain:Mission Deux or Rock'n'Roller Coaster at WDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zingo Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Robin Hood ofcourse! Woodies....the one thing Vekoma can do VERY good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Im not sure which one is my favorite, but there are a few that I really like: Â Megablitz @ Wiener Prater : This coaster was built by designed by Stengel and built by Vekoma in 1994. Its very smooth, and its absolutely flying through those helixes. RCDB says 4.8 G's and it definately feels like it. Â Stunt Fall @ Parque Warner : A Giant Inverted Boomerang built in 2002. Rode it in 2003 and thought it was a great ride. Wasnt rough at all. Very scary going backwards up the vertical tower. Â Thundercoaster @ Tusenfryd : A very rough wooden coaster, but in the rain its a fantastic, wild ride. Better than Balder in my opinion, but it is too slow when its dry. But in the rain its pure insanity. Im not quite sure how much Vekoma did on this coaster though. According to this article Vekoma only did the trains, brakes and mechanical system. Â If I had to pick a favorite of these three, I would have to say Thundercoaster, but thats only when its raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasters 4 me Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Goudrix or Rock'n'Roller Coaster, FL. Yes, I know Goudrix is a very rough coasters, but I rode it when I was 10, and it was my first proper coaster. I really enjoyed it, and the fact that it goes up-side-down 7 times, it is quite exciting. Â Rock'n'Roller Coaster on the other hand it ALOT better. I found it to be very smooth for a Vekoma. And the Aerosmith theming and music blasting in your ears is great. I love Aerosmith as well. And we also cant forget about the launch. It is just great. Overall, I would say Rock'n'Roller Coaster.

chavslayer Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Big Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris are both really great Vekomas, IMO Space Mountain is the best though. I also love Velocity at Flamingo Land, which i should be riding again soon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Damn, I keep forgetting that Big Thuner Mountain at DLP is Vekoma. But you've gotta admit its a pretty average coaster that is made better by the world class themeing. Â IMO its the best themed coaster in the world.

mike541x Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Oh yeah another Vekoma I liked was Two Face it was pretty smooth and going through the loop backwards is very fun and intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrock23 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I didn't think Everest was Vekoma. If it is, then that's my favorite. Otherwise it's Rock N Roller Coaster. Being indoors has its advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_dad Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Fav Vekoma? Currently Batwing @ SFA. I was quite impressed when I first rode it 10 days ago. I hope this summer to finally ride Deja Va @ SFOG after five years of trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Its got to be the Millennium Rollercoaster at Fantasy Island...its a rubbish park but its a fun smooth ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypotato Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 By far, its Rock and Roller Coaster at WDW. That ride is so much fun, and unnecessarily smooth for a Vekoma. That, and Aerosmith rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dailey Enterprizes Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 My favorite Vekoma is X-Flight at Geauga Lake, it was pretty good the last time I rode it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 My Fav Vekoma coaster is "Robin Hood" ( A Woodie) at Walibi World, it has on most seats, the back is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Never been on one. I think that I'm jinxed... every time I go to SFGAm, Deja Vu is closed or the wait is around 4 Hrs. Â Other then that, I've never gotten the chance to ride a vekoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
