A big shout out to my friend Dialga305 for helping to research this beast of a video. Without him the manufacturer's explained series wouldn't be possible.

YES! I was really hoping either Knotts or California's Great America would build a new Vekoma coaster this year but I think it is highly unlikely. : (

@MattMcIrvin 6 лет назад

Their custom coasters for Disney are really not bad. I always assumed the Arrow heritage of their designs was one of the reasons Disney chose them, since Arrow had been their go-to coaster manufacturer previously--and of course Arrow had a similar reputation for roughness and for cranking out cookie-cutter rides. (But for the family coaster under construction at Hollywood Studios, Disney went with Mack--a major departure.)

@blayedd_ 6 лет назад

I had no idea Vekoma had such a large presence at Disney World. I thought the Aerosmith Rollercoaster was the only one

@ekl7804 4 года назад

The new Tron and Guardians coaster are gonna be Vekomas as well.

@InsaneCoaster 6 лет назад

Vekoma is really underrated for some reason. They've been getting progressively better over time.

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

I definitely agree. Their newer rides have been fantastic :)

@dragonfire101g 6 лет назад

The manufacture is getting a lot of hate, that we all forgot Vekoma has a decent future!

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

They have a very good future ahead at their current pace of development. :)

@dragonfire101g 6 лет назад

I just really forgot about them

@VestedUTuber 4 года назад

Some of that hate is undeserved, too. Sure, SLCs are pretty bad (apart from Fly the Great Nor'Easter which has been reworked to the point where it can be considered a "custom" SLC), Boomerangs are everywhere and are inconsistent across all installations (Flying Cobras and Speed of Sound are great but most of them are either mediocre or downright suck) and the standard layout Suspended Family Coaster earned its nickname "hang-n-bang" (custom SFCs like Freedom Flyer at Fun Spot Orlando seem to avoid this), but Invertigos were actually well received, their mine trains are amazing and two of the three Flying Dutchmen built were actually really good rides.

@beardedswordsman2901 4 года назад

The hate is from vekoma stealing arrows designs for their own coasters that arrow never got compensated or credited. I still hate them I don't care if they have their own designs now it's still scummy what they did to arrow.

@thomaslawrence1726 5 лет назад

Why are vekoma's slc's so rough?

@B4T4LI4 5 лет назад

@@thomaslawrence1726 I would say it's mostly because of the track design. While sturdy, it's not really known for a flexible track design. autoCAD wasn't a thing back then either, which made making smooth transitions really difficult since all track pieces were made piece by piece. Pretty comparable to the well known RCT series (minus using the PC of course) So yeah, that results in a rough ride which is kinda part of their charm imo.

@RY30DM 3 года назад

I think it’s the trains as the wheel assemblies don’t have much give.

@mario64remix 6 лет назад

Vekoma is awesome! I believe MK-1200 track is still being produced too. Maybe you could talk about their very unique "Illusion" coaster model?

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

Indeed they are! No new standard sit-down roller coasters of the MK-1200 model have been built in a while. The Illusion coaster model is very unique; only 2 exist. Therefore, it wasn't necessary to include it within this video. It may gain its own video in the future, but that's unlikely.

As a dutch person, with many vekoma coasters and other rides near me, I’ve gotten to experience them many times. Vekoma isn’t my most favorite manufacturer, but definitely in my top 5!

@brybryguy6314 6 лет назад

Vekoma always have made headway with new ride concepts. my first ever rollercoaster I ever been on when I was a child was a Vekoma Boomerang and a SLC. Me personally. I can thank Vekoma for instilling the rollercoaster enthusiast in me. To this day I still visit the Boomerang I rode on and the SLC. they are still in operation in Wildwood NJ. And if I'm not mistaken. The Sea Serpent in Wildwood was the first boomerang coaster in North America and also The Nor Easter was one of the first SLC's to be build in North America. Actually I'm pretty sure it was one of the first suspending looping coasters ever built. Im looking forward to seeing more innovations from Vekoma

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

Indeed they have. It's awesome that Vekoma kickstarted your enthusiasm towards roller coasters. I also look forward to the future Vekoma has. :)

@brybryguy6314 6 лет назад

When I was 15. I road the great Nor Easter in wildwood ( a SLC ) 15 times straight without getting off the ride.

@DrVagax 5 лет назад

Vekoma used to be a pretty big curse when it came to ride experience, their latest models are like completely different, they are pretty comfortable and I believe that they have focused more on quality rather then quantity.

Because Vekoma was smart enough to invest in new technologies to help them build faster and gaining both the EU and the Asian market while Arrow Dynamics was busy creating special rides that costed way too much to be cloned.

COASTER BOT do you have ever been in the Efteling, and i like your dutch proponucation. (I'm dutch so madbye my spelling isn't that Great!)

@thehamelsduck1600 6 лет назад

Great video. Thanks. But I guess they will be stealing RMC’s track design now.

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

Thanks for the kind comment, and for watching! Vekoma didn't steal Arrow's track design, and definitely won't steel RMC's either. :)

@LordAthens 4 года назад

They definitely stole Arrows track design. They were supposed to have a partnership with Arrow, Arrow gave them all of the design, Vekoma bailed. Broken agreement - stolen.

And here I am watching this video, 2 weeks after I rode Hals über Kopf, the first Vekoma STC which is absolutely amazing.

@tracts 6 лет назад

Very well made :)

Thank you very much! :)

Am I the only one who likes Vekoma

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

No! There's a lot of people who like Vekoma, and I imagine there will be even more in the near future. :)

@Whaiesh3827 6 лет назад

I do 😃

@OnionChoppingNinja 5 лет назад

I'f you're a Rollercoaster junkie and live in the Netherlands like I do, you better learn to love Vekoma. They're bloody everywhere. Fortunately it seems that B&M is finally getting a foothold in the BeNeLux region, with 2 new installations in the past 3 years. I hope more will follow.

@ArrowThrills 5 лет назад

Vekoma sucks, vekoma needs to go bankrupt forever not arrow dynamics

@unintelligentintellectual8508 6 лет назад

Can we all agree on one thing? Vekoma boomerangs are the worst 😂

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

They aren't too great :)

@superlu1gi527 6 лет назад

Grady no i love them.

@blackjack7712 6 лет назад

Grady Stop trying to find a attention you idiot

@hiddep.5403 6 лет назад

I rode three and they are okay. Not fantastic, but enjoyable

@emmywillow6599 6 лет назад

They’re the second worst, next to SLCs

Vekoma: Explained A company that makes bad rides and throws coaster enthusiasts in the trash

@superluigi8362 4 года назад

Seriously?

@tismejaytee 4 года назад

Not anymore though

@Aoirsae 6 лет назад

you can tell it's a vekoma because your ears hurt after riding their rides

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

You could say this about quite a few rides with OSTRs. ;)

@ecoRfan 6 лет назад

Or those B&M inverted coasters: Batman (Great Adventure), Great Bear (Hershey), etc. are some of the loudest coasters ever

@es2226 5 лет назад

But with Rock 'N' Rollercoaster your ears hurt because you were rocking out to hard.

@AnimalzyNL 6 лет назад

Robin Hood is getting rmc'd for 2019 and im very excited. Also, the new vekomas actually look great. Cant wait to see the flying coaster they are building for phantasialand. I reckon vekoma is going to make a big comeback in terms of reputation, and I believe we are going to be seeing vekoma hypers coming to european parks soon.

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

I believe the same thing also. The quality of rides Vekoma have been producing recently is very high :)

@cruzim8 6 лет назад

Love this one, issa vibe

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

Thanks Alex! :)

@blueonblueracingnova 6 лет назад

As a fabricator in structural engineering I would one day love to work on these iconic coasters . Great video thanks

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

Same! Thanks for watching :)

@jasminejohnston6393 4 года назад

The only Vekoma roller coaster I’m familiar with was demolished last year. The Corkscrew at Playland at the PNE in Vancouver, BC, Canada

@rblx_ash3626 6 лет назад

Some of vekoma/arrow's old coasters do get "renovations" which results in new trains [i.e Flying Cobras at Carowinds] equaling in a smoother ride. Haven't been on one yet with the updated/new trains, but planning. :)

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

Indeed. They do improve the ride by a considerable amount, but I've found that they still retain their rough transitions. :)

@logancoasterroasterlockwoo163 6 лет назад

Great video

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

Thank you very much! :)

@DJ88Masterchief 6 лет назад

Wow, the spinning room ride is called Houdini at Six Flags NE. Been on that a million times. Looking at this video Vekoma seems to have supplied at lot of their rides including the suspended Mind Eraser and the two Boomerang models.

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

Vekoma have installed a lot of attractions around the world. It's common for many parks to have at least one :)

@d3r4zz 6 лет назад

Can't wait for their new flying coaster model :)

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

Me either, it's going to be very cool. :)

@BlimpKingMax 6 лет назад

wow, that was awesome and very informative! I think it's a shame that Vekoma is still looked down upon by many even though they have been creating awesome rides for so many years (Minetrains, new Track design, Lech Coaster,etc.)

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

Thank you! It is a real shame, I hope that they can change most people's opinions in the coming years.

@frosticular 6 лет назад

I learned so much from this video, and those Dutch pronunciations were too good. It's super cool to hear that Vekoma was one of the first manufacturers to use AutoCAD.

@coasterbot 6 лет назад

That's awesome to hear, and thank you about my rubbish Dutch! ;)
