JoshC. Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Genuinely thought we had a Vekoma thread somewhere, but clearly not.. But it's fine, we need one... During this week's IAAPA, Vekoma are revealing 4 new generations of some of their coasters. Flying coaster is one of them (see Phantasialand), another one is the upgraded version of their SLC... Called the Suspended Thrill Coaster (STC), the new off-the-shelf model features two inversions and a significantly different layout. The last "new" SLC is set to open in China sometime over the next year or so I believe. After that, the STC takes over as the only off-the-shelf suspended model Vekoma will sell. Given that Mayan (SLC at Energylandia built a couple of years back) is generally considered not-horrendous by most, and the good quality attractions Vekoma have been building lately, it's fair to assume this should provide a much smoother ride experience, as well as a fun, cheaper, option for many parks.

JoshC. Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Vekoma are teasing something... https://www.instagram.com/p/CLKXsg0BKQo/ Energylandia have mentioned in the past their intention is open a new generation Vekoma Tilt Coaster in 2022, so it could very much be this. But equally, I wouldn't count out a random surprise park announcing some crazy new Vekoma outta nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Nah! Must be Thorpe 😉 Yeah I agree it probably is the Tilt coaster for EL. Will be interested to see if the new gen version of that will be more successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
