Vekoma Rides Full Roller Coaster History: 1979-2024 and Beyond
No manufacturer has built more roller coasters in history than Vekoma rides, averaging nearly 10 a year over just under half a century. Beginning with a series of large looping coasters for the time, these custom layouts and boomerangs were notorious for headbanging and rough rides for their first decade. Later, they would venture into small indoor and junior coasters, before making a big splash with a large but also shaky suspended looping coaster. After the peak of the roller coaster wars where they didn’t contribute much in terms of record breaking rides, they would begin to experiment with innovative concepts of flying, tilting, and motorbike coasters. Then, finally innovating their t...

As the records were peaking in the height of the roller coaster wars, Vekoma would not participate, rather electing to figure out what they were good at with a variety of gimmicky rides. These would come in all shapes and sizes, with small motorbike and custom junior coasters, to larger versions of existing models, and even wooden coasters. This is part three of a five part series that will cov...

After exploding onto the scene with the immensely popular boomerang, Vekoma would continue to build not just sit down inverting coasters, but an abundance on junior and family coasters as well. On top of these, they’d make the ambitious move to challenge one of the growing European manufacturers, with another major model with installations around the globe. This is part two of a five part serie...

I want to mention and correct a small mistake concerning the matterhorn. It should be noted matterhorn is not said to be the first steel coaster or modern steel coaster, but rather the first modern tubular steel coaster. Steel coasters go all the way back to the early 1900s in the US and Europe. Although There was a traveling steel coaster in France that was tubular that operated before matterhorn. The misconception persists about matterhorn more due to the french coasters obscurity rather than any so called “American historical revisionism”
19:51 The audio of Vogel Rok was specially composed by mr. Ruud Bos, however the technical part is inspired by Space Mountain DTALL.
cant wait for B & M
Excellent video !!!!!
awesome video!! a series on schwarzkopf/gerstlauer similar to this would be super awesome
ACE just premiered their Schwarzkopf documentary which will hopefully release soon, I know they did a better job than I ever could! Can’t wait for that
@ oh thats awesome!! will check that out
Have you got a playlist for the background songs used?
I do not unfortunately they were copyright free songs from CapCut
Also: Paramount Parks *did* develop an indoor Spongbob Driving School wild mouse around 2003/4 for the US parks but it never happened.
First Intamin, Now Vekoma. Whats next? B&M? RMC? Or maybe Mack!
Shame this was never recommended to me. Amazing series! Can't wait to watch all these. Happy to hear Xcelerator get it's flowers. I grew up on that coaster and it is pretty awesome even if it's not as big as the others.
Great video but you forgot in 2014 falcons fury in busch gardens tampa FL
Intamin has been such an innovative company in the amusement industry. Crazy to think how far they have pushed the envelope sometimes, with legendary rides such as Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster + Kingda Ka, El Toro + T Express, Maverick, Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure, and now they will truly outdo themselves with Falcon's Flight.
The Intamin "blacklist" is crazy in my opinion. The paros got EXACTLY what they wanted. With I305, they wanted a Maverick/Millenium ride. They got it, and want to cry that the ride is "too intense". GTFO Nancy.
american parks to this day are dumb not to have asked intmain to do atlantis adventure clones at like CP and knotts that water coaster model looks super underrated
Is top thrill 2 the world's tallest operating coaster? I get its having work done but the status is operational. So technically tt2 is the world's tallest coaster until falcons flop opens.
Nope since it’s not even operating. The tallest and fastest in the world currently is Red Force
What if cedar fair did this to keep cedar point as their flagship park
@Mythical_Arena they have already proven that cedar point is the flagship for the chain. It seems like cedar fair parks on general are getting preferential treatment. I bet the parks cedar fair closes will mostly be six flags parks. Its sad that we will probably loose at least 5 parks in the next 10 years.
Woo s/o sfga!
but not anymore
💔
This ride represents my zodiac im a Scorpio
This gives cowardly the courage dog vibes
Think you can do a full recording of the queue video in the hulk coaster?
The current one? I won’t be able to since you can’t bring phones in the queue, but I know there’s some good videos of it before the metal detectors
You do?
ruclips.net/video/dWeZP_jCdqQ/видео.htmlsi=JvHbscGhQHj1ME4r
Maybe someday someone will upload the full version.
2017 blew my mind.
Definitely the most insane year for any manufacturer ever
Love it! So good when your favs show up! Great that you give mentions to some of the smaller parks which I didn’t realise were so integral to Vekomas history. My local Drayton Manor being one of the first to have a family boomerang and now it seems like they are everywhere!! Thanks for this mammoth of a video 😊
A history video on Vekoma longer than most movies
Great to see it all put together. Just watched it all over again. Thank you for such a great series!
love this history series :D
Nice job do Mack next
Do B&m next
Do Mack next
your Intamin series were high quality but the vekoma series are your masterpiece
Thank you for a great series. Can't wait to see what you do next. Maybe B&M or Arrow.
Never knew the boomerang was made for so long
Top quality on RUclips
OK, hear me out… do Jinma Rides next
I was actually considering it, I would like to ride some of their rides before making a video to have a bit of familiarity
Great series! Thanks!
Another great video! After these I feel like my enthusiast level increases with so much more knowledge. Bravo!
13:55 the reason they use LIMs, from what i’ve heard, is that the trains they use didn’t have enough space to accommodate the LSM stuff, so LIMs were chosen instead
Absolutely fantastic series!
You forgot the upcoming coaster at Gronalund, possibly another boomaring in that same area too
That and another coaster I remembered last minute as I was uploading. I’m posting the full series in a week and I’ll include them at the end
I can't even imagine how long it took you to make this. So well done! Thank you for your efforts, I learned a ton from this video - most notably that I want to visit china because they have a TON of Vekoma's that are super underrated and under-ridden by US enthusiasts!
Already excited for the next series
IF vekoma does a good job by cedar point and sixflags .... they are back in america. This giant company can make the biggest inpact in there market if they trust vekoma and vekoma dilevers.
Verry good producion
Hope sirens curse is decent
What manufacturer are you doing next year?
Rita wasn’t an SW
It's interesting when they started connecting the spine on the inside of the rails, compared to the outside. Looks like the first use of this was on their wild mouse, and they also used it on their inverts. I wonder why they resisted using this design on the larger coasters for so long, the new track is much smoother and seems like it would need less steel, and this is the style track they used in all the redemption era designs. Trimper's mentioned though, that boomerang might have been my first coaster and possibly the one I've ridden the most, and it was the closest coaster to my house lol
I think they just got the design from Arrow and ran with it until they developed their own style much later down the line. The fact that the boomerang and SLC sold so well contributed it to it as well I’m sure. They also started at the infancy of large steel coasters where besides Schwarzkopf most manufacturers used the inside running rails
At this point... is there even a single park left in the world that doesn't have a Vekoma bommerang?
Also it's funny as fuck hearing you talk about Vekoma was using outdated designs only for their next coaster to be a wooden coaster.
My first two coasters were vekoma, they were barnstormer and seven dwarfs at magic kingdom.

A cloned family coaster named "Innovative Roller Coaster" located in "Innovative Film City". You can't make this shit up
Great video
