Vekoma are designing in BM style trains, 4 across seating.

I would say something but I'm not allowed. ;)

Yes these new trains do look quite cool. The Stingray trains look pretty neat. As do the Mega coaster trains.

What your speculating that one of these trains will be from Vekoma for the AT 2010 coaster?

Not when they start to move ;)


Though it could of course just have been that nasty, hideous, foul beast in New Jersey!

Vekom and B&M really are swapping designs, aren't they?

First B&M borrows the staggered seating to create stadium seating on their hypers and now this! :razz:

Wowee, these look great and they appear to be offering a huge variety of track types too.
I hope they still sell the older stuff such as the Mine Trains, I think thats what make Vekoma.

Yes Ollie these are to go on the new track, most people have worked it out now. So I think you can stop it with the I can not say stuff. Anyway thats for the Alton new coaster topic.

Anyway they look ok for trains, but would rather a B&M coaster with 4 across :) People can make them now as the lock or what ever you call it is finished.

Sorry, thought they might have been but after a quick look through didn't see the topic so thought I'd post it in case!

Well they do look good and more comfy

They all look very aesthetically pleasing, and very ergonomic, which will hopefully create more enjoyable, comfortable and smooth rides.... Well, we'll see!


cool)

I'm thinking Injection Moulded Polypropylene, known for its high impact strength :)

I thought you might say that. It's just "aesthetically pleasing" is such a GCSE DT cliché. Thankfully I've avoided it in my A - Level projects so far.

Not convinced you'd want PP as the polymer. Well, not for the harnesses at least!


Anyway, back on topic now. I quite like the look of these new trains. They look similar to B&Ms trains, but they're not so similar that they look tacky. I think they actually looks quite stylish. Let's just hope they'll increase the smoothness of the rides a bit!

They will be replacement trains, Vekoma do a lot of work with S&S Power/ S&S Arrow to repair parts and maitain old Arrow coasters. Also, Vekoma sitdowns may get them, Mega Coaster may just be the name of them and not strictly be about actual Mega Coasters.
