What's new

Vekoma New-Gen Coasters Discussion Thread

Merged the two threads as we already have a long running thread about Vekoma's new announcements.
 
Doing the roll backwards on Chiller with the lapbar train is to this day the best inversion I've done <3
Have you not had the pleasure of experiencing Veloci's Maverick roll yet? Just thought I'd ask, seeing as you're from Orlando and it seems to be universally agreed that is one of the best inversions ever.
 
I love how wacky Vekoma is getting with their designs! Even without the track design itself, we’ve reached a point where we could look at a layout and say “that’s distinctly Vekoma” and I love that.
 
Vekoma announced a new model in the last EAP Magazin, the Super Boomerang. The train will be launched by a multi-pass-launch on two spikes that will finish on a same "tower". The first coaster of this model will open in a Fantawild park.

A little bit of time today meant I decided to have a look through some known under construction Fantawild to see if I could dig up anything on this. Apart from finding 2 previously unknown to me parks currently going up I also noticed this on the Xuzhou Fantawild artworks.

Seems to fit the Super Boomerang bill to me.
 
Oooh yes please, that looks like an cracking little layout.

Make sure you turn your sound up to the max when watching that video 🙂.
 
Wow, looks like a cracking ride.

At first I thought this model only had 3 inversions? But then as I watched it I counted 1, 2, 3, 4...

uno, dos, tres, quatro!

It looks like Vekoma are launching a new gen boomerang:

I'm surprised they didn't do this sooner given the popularity of the old boomerang, and the family boomerangs. Looks like great fun to me.

This is actually just the first time they are acknowledging it on their Insta account. They previously announced it in a magazine last fall. The first installation is believed to be heading to Fantawild Xuzhou.
