“Vekoma has a long, painful history”
Well said, Chris, well said.
Interestingly that pain only applied to rides based on the Arrow derived MK-1200 track.
Even back in the day they built pretty solid coasters that used different track styles. Like what started as Space Center at Phantasialand in 1986 or Vogel Rok at Efteling (both using the same track style which is very different from their MK-1200) or their mine trains, like Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Paris or Colorado Adventure at Phantasialand, with the latter often considered being the best mine train coaster in the world (I can't say for sure since I don't know all of them, but it's certainly a really excellent one).
But unfortunately US coaster enthusiasts mostly got their terrible SLCs and Boomerangs as major Vekoma coasters and so it's really understandable that the name is often associated with painful rides.
New gen Vekoma loopers like Lech and Formula FEEL completely different track-shaping wise than any other manufacturer. It's like riding an FVD++ layout IRL. Really cool!
This is a fun comment to read as im building a new gen vekoma in FVD++
I never thought I’d say this but: Vekoma looks promising
None of us did, and yet… Lech Coaster and company
I had faith in them to get better
I honestly view new and old vekoma as different manufacturers
FLY is actually a lot more intense than it looks, with positives and Airtime everywhere. its just a completly different unique feeling on a Flyer.
Very true
Also, don't forget the genius boarding system. It's just amazing and removes all the drawbacks of B&M flyers, especially in the brakes!
“Vekoma has a long, painful history of coasters.”
Never a truer statement said 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for allowing me to make YTPs about you. The newest one turned out great.
We're very excited here in Denmark to get a new Vekoma thrill coaster in Fårup Sommerland.
It'll be Denmark's first proper thrill coaster since 2008, and it will take the height and likely the speed records of the country
Oh, you‘re here too
@@jojo_hendriks I see all
That's great news. First I hear about it. Do they know what model it will be?
@@gemmachaos No, it's very new information. All we know is that we will get a 37 meter tall Vekoma coaster in a new spot in the park, and it's coming because the park stated it needed something with more speed and excitement. I'm guessing it will be similar to the hyper space warps, but probably a new layout or even model
@@NorthernRidesYaBoi Thanks for sharing this! I'll be watching closely, Fårup looks like an interesting place. How does it compare to the other Danish parks in your opinion?
I’m jealous of the Vekoma boomerangs outside of America that have the Sunkid Trains
Hershey has vest restraints on theirs and it's a game changer
@@bmfanboy8838 I’ve seen in comments that they aren’t that bad
I dont understand why people complaining about boomerangs. These arent bad coasters and arent unconfortably rough you cant say that about SLC's off course.
@@bmfanboy8838 I mean I rode it multiple times lol, it's super comfortable and the bar doesn't press into your stomach at all. Occasionally the vest can get too tight but otherwise it's awesome.
F.L.Y is my new #1. It is surprising intense and has strong airtime on the second launch. Not to mention the amazing theming.
Abyssys and FLY are high on my bucket list
I love ur videos
FLY is not that good😬
@@matthewmiller3411 thanks!
I have ridden F.L.Y. at Phantasialand a total of 7 times in one day. I can say it being at the top of this list definately is well deserved. It is as of current one of the only flyers in europe. It is the first launched flyer which makes it unique. And the amount of near misses when flying through the extensive theming is just incredible. Its not supposed to be an intense coaster. All it needs to be is to be fun. And thats what F.L.Y. does perfect. As of currently i rank it higher then taron because its so fun and visually appealing to ride.
FLY looks like a coaster I would dream about as a five year old. Looks incredible
It really feels like flying, they did so well with this one. It has several pops of good Airtime and in the back the positives are really really strong, but all of that isnt what makes the ride awesome for me, its the whole experience
Only a matter of time until the Tron clone opens at Magic Kingdom in Orlando.
I just took a 2 day trip to Phantasialand and rode F.L.Y a couple of times. I gotta say even though it aint the most thrilling coaster model, it definitly made my list for most fun to ride rollercoasters. Also as you said in the video, the themeing and everything around it is part of the Track unlike anywhere i have seen it. The whole waiting area is packed with Steam punk themed blue prints and printed advertisements for inventions. The whole area is just jawdropping and i didnt believe this one myself but its really is as many people said, as you enter Rookburgh there is a good chance you actually forget that there is a whole other park outside of this area. The feeling of soaring throught the whole rookburgh back and forth is just incredible and the 2nd launch and immediate rise after that really gives you a great kick as well. I recommend booking a ticket or two for Phantasialand if you visit germany and take some time in the Park, 2 days recommended imo because there is much to see outside of the thrills as well as maybe wanting to reride one or two times :D
Just graduated high school, and what better way to celebrate this with my favorite RUclipsr, Airtime Thrills.
F.L.Y. has it's station underground and that's why it doesn't go far above the walking area's... The new hotel has been built inside Rookburgh too and the coaster winds true that as well! We go visit Phantsialand every 5 years and it was always fun and there was always something new, but never something as F.L.Y. ;-)
(I wonder what they think of next, haha!)
most likely something for familiys, but it will still be good i think, because Phatnasialand, needs to show brühl why it needs more space...
Rest of the world: **has great Vekoma's**
North America: **cries in boomerang and SLC** 😭😭😂
And Disney
Vekomas at home: SLCs + Boomerangs
Yes he said that at the beginning already
I must say tho, I rode the boomerang at Hershey Park with the new vest restraints (Sidewinder) and it transformed the ride. I legitimately think the restraints are what really hold these rides back.
We pushed our Europe trip back to next year. Vekoma is a huge part of my excitement for this trip, and that's a sentence I never thought I would type.
One of the best opening lines ever! “Vekoma has a long painful history of coasters.”
I would love to ride a Stingray! It would probably work great for smaller parks or even boardwalks!
I just rode my first SLC in T3 yesterday, and wow, it felt like an old wooden coaster with hoe rough it was
Flying Dutchman's may very well be the world's most underrated coaster model. God knows I'm still not over Firehawk
We all cried that day 😢
I love how this guy constantly changes his tempo of speaking.
Wish they’d bring back the old track look and make it smooth.
I personally really like the look of their new track. Its modern-looking and glossy smooth.
@@randomuser238 yea
The entire old track is just not smooth, it is just the way the track is that it will becone rough, it has to do bith track on the outside and the wheels on the inside
Metal fatigue is better managed with the wheel assemblies on the outside of the track since the train wheel assembly can easily be replaced as it stretches.
Think I might have whiplash from head banging to your intro music so much, good concept and video as always!
I can't believe no parks are trying to call in Vekoma to make one of these smooth new coasters
Totally wishful thinking... But I'd love to see a clone of Wrath of Zeus or Abyssus come to Kings Dominion in Volcano's old spot.
Seems like itd be a good fit
Fighter Jet at Fanta Park Glorious Orient Ganzhou is a Vekoma Top Gun that has a POV on the Roller Coaster Dream Channel that you could have used for timing the real thing. Didn´t compare the times, but the POV looks slower than the animation after the MCBR.
Man we need to see some of these new Gen Vekomas here in America if they are this well pased.
I really hope one of these new-gen vekomas come to the states. Imagine six flags gives one to great adventure, cedar fair gives one to kings dominion or cga, seaworld gives one to san antonio or san diego, and herschend gives one to wild adventure or kentucky kingdom. That'd be insane.
Airtime thrills videos: by the numbers
Top gun is 60.273mph/97kmh, around 105ft/32metres. Found from a blooloop article. This puts it at #3 in speed, superseding both Lech (now #5) and TRON (now #4). Height should be unchanged and I haven’t run pacing calculations.
I’m from Singapore and yes both Human and Cylon tracks contain dead spots. But the G forces as a result of some of these are quite spikey, as the train suddenly picks up ample speed through some tight transitions, notably the bottom of the vertical drop of Cylon. I’ve not experienced this sensation in other vertical loops of other manufacturers
I rode dragon flyer at Dollywood and I have to say I’m impressed with the comas new work
I just rode Battlestar Galactica Human, and don't underestimate it being not so intense. It had moments of airtime and positive Gs. My favorite roller coaster so far!😊
2:45 I had my expectations for this coaster but oh boi, it shattered these expectations. It's so much better than I thought.
i think the pacing in your speech needs improvement. imagine a rollercoaster that had chain lifts on every hill because each hill is the same height as the last; no turns, no banks, no inversions, just an entire ride of short chain lift hills. that is what your speaking pace is like.
Abyssus is not a Shockwave but a Shockwave+. The Shockwave model is only a single launch coaster. The Shockwave+ adds a new area before before the launch that features an additional launch.
I love you content. Hey know your running out of ideas. But I find this to be very interesting! The only new Vekoma coaster I’ve ridden is dragonflier at Dollywood 🦋
If you ever need more ideas for videos like these, I suggest coasters by the numbers - country editions. Obviously, it'd be a pain in the ass for countries with more than like 15 coasters, but maybe in those cases you could look at the big parks exclusively? But hey. It's just an idea, and just because I love these videos so much.
FLy backrow compares very well to its invert neighbor in the park... holy it pushes those GS...
The suspended thrill coaster at Tripsdrill looks awesome.
We need more New Generation coasters by Vekoma!
Should have gotten a Hebei Zhongye Metallurgical Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd instead
Credit where Credit is due. Vekoma went from boomerangs to Multi-launch coasters.
Most of them are designed by Benjamin Bloemendaal, no wonder why all Vekoma coasters in the modern day are very ridable and amazing, although Stefan Holtman led the way for Vekoma Renaissance with the Stingray, and Peter Clerx designed Tron and Battlestar Galactica, Benjamin Bloemendaal designed more sought after coasters like Lech Coaster, F.L.Y., Abyssus, Wrath of Zeus, and the new STC coasters and people love them, he's a genius.
I love Energylandia, and formula and abyssus are my 4 and 3 places of my fav. roller coasters in there, i love them
I came across a channel called The Quacken’s Coaster Channel and he had the same intro music as you. Not sure if yours is free use or copyrighted, but it’s on his 10 most problematic roller coasters video. Thought I would let you know!
Great video as always! Thanks for the content!
Abbissus and fly are my 2 favorite coasters and they're tiny bucket list for sure,they look pretty crazy and it looks like ur flying
As someone who has been on the Battlestar Galactica coaster, I can honestly say that the POVs don't do this coaster justice. This coaster was actually quite fast and was pretty intense, especially the Cylon side. Human was tamer, but was still pretty good and fast.
Looks like it's time for Vekoma to be bolder in North America and offer more than just their family suspended coasters.
Might be that they push s&s more in the states, same company.
I was going to say you should do this for energylandia but I forgot most of the lineup was kiddie coasters
I’m kinda confused with Vekoma so will all new Vekomas built in the US be marketed as S&S’s?
I think my favorite vekoma launch is rocking roller coaster at Disney world pretty smooth no head banging just really short
Those Top Gun coaster renders look pretty awesome!
Thanks for the dinner reminder
This is off topic but, you should go to adventureland iowa since you live closer there now, also the park has gotten a million times better in the past 4-5 years
Ill be there very soon actually
I've been waiting for this
I hope some of these models can come to america. I’d love to ride one of them without having to take a long trip
5:36 half of the Ferris wheel disappears
I have ridden battlestar Galactica and while the pacing certainly is bad throughout most of the ride, I don't think it is as sluggish as the pov shows in the 2nd half, and it is still a fun coaster (albeit not intense coaster). The loop and the final zero G roll was certain the most fun part of the ride. It wasn't bad but don't go in expecting too much😅😅! I would also want to try Lech coaster, Abyssus or Fighter Jet so badly!
Great job Chris, keep up the good work
Yeah, in America, Vekoma is pretty much a step above Zamperla, maybe...definitely the KIA of Roller coaster manufacturers!
I'm hoping Discovery Kingdom can replace Kong with a newer Vekoma model.
looking at the new vekoma and intamin tracks, it seems like it’s all coming back to schwarzkopf
It does make sense though. Schwarzkopf coaster’s track holds up extremely well and is awfully cheap to produce.
I freakin love you Airtime Thrills! You are amazing🤩
And I’m excited for tron to open at another one of my home parks
If Six Flags Over Texas was to put a Vekoma Shockwave and it's Park what do you think the land over there behind the giant over by the Titan as a ride area and naming it the Texas Bull
I still have the Battlestar Galactica coaster on my bucket list.
Yknow screw Phantasialand for taking down POVs, some of us might not get to experience F.L.Y for years or ever but still want to know what to experience.
Newage Vekomas make me drool.
The Vekoma renaissance
Me - Hey Mom can we get some Vekoma on the way home?
Mom - We have Vekomas at home.
Me - Glares in Boomerang and Steel Curtain.
The only non inverted new generation vekomas I’ve been on were freedom fly at one of my home parks and then I also rode lech coaster raik and dragon flier
Well done Chris!
You should do a ranking video of the amusement parks with the best skylines. I think Cedar Point and Six Flags Magic Mountain would be at the top of that list.
Top gun is actually about 7-8 seconds longer compared to the animations according to the POV of the only operating one.
Dang it, you didn't use my suggestion for a by the numbers video on boomerangs, inverted boomerangs, GIBs, and SLCs :(
Vekoma makes better coasters and new models nowadays in the future! But by the way, I do like the Vekoma Inverted Roller Coaster in this video!
i hope soooooooo much that i can work at vekoma later when im older
They all look like a good thing 🇨🇦
Nice video?
Any idea from your side why almost all next gen Vekoma rides get build in Asia and a few in Europe? I think some US parks can really benefit from these rides.
I think it has to do with Vekoma being owned by Sansei, who also owns S&S, and America is getting most of the s&s projects while vekoma gets the europe and asia projects
Do ranking all the stand up coasters you have ridden please.
pls do a video throwing cosmic rewind itno the mix, similar to what you did for iron gwazi. Join the hype
Could you do a video ranking independent (non-chain) theme parks overall? Such as Lagoon, Silver Dollar City, Holiday World etc...
Silver Dollar City is owned by Herschend Family Entertainment, who also own Dollywood, so it’s not an independently-owned park, it’s a chain park.
But Vekoma is the best manufacturer as soon as they get more done in the US. By far the most well rounded manufacturer while still being affordable. On par with B&M I’d say. Could you imagine if they made that Hyper for Energylandia? or if they ever make a Giga?! Guys sorry but these coasters look so good
I’m a simple man
I see Vekoma by the numbers
I like
"By the Numbers" ... CLICKS
FLY is actually 1236 meters long
A downside to using Google Maps for the coasters in China is the fact that the images are warped to intentionally make them inaccurate, because for whatever reason Google complies with China's laws that no maps other then those used by the government may be accurate, which is odd because literally no part of Google's empire can legally operate in China.
Also, Cylon for Battlestar Galactica is pernounced "Cy-lon", not "Cy,-clon". The fact you made that mistake means you haven't seen the show, which I highly recommend you do because it's incredible. Though don't show your kids, they are probably too young for it unless your footage is years out of date.
Is the Top Gun coaster still the best-paced coaster based on its testing pov? Seems like the MCBR hits harder than the animation pov.
So, can we get one of these here in the states? We really need one.
When Tron opens in Florida lol
@@Tylerff26 Not a fan of that one. The trains attempts to "recreate" the Tron experience require an even more uncomfortable position than a B&M stand-up.
They look so good
U heard about the new vekoma (probably Bermuda blitz) that is going to Farup Somerland?
What do you think about kings island using a Shockwave type coaster to replace the Vortex?
Chris,
I know I've said this before but .... I'd like to see Vekoma/B&M/Intamin make a US comeback (more so Vekoma)
One day....im sure itll happen
When do you think these new generation vekoma roller coasters will come to the states? If so, what park is likely to get it first?
That sounds like it could be a good video idea to explore 😏
i've been hoping that SF great america replaces demon with a bermuda blitz model
I'd guess it would be a smaller, independent park, not a Cedar Fair or Six Flags
SLCs are godly
I love vekoma but not these awful new ones! I love the SLCs and Boomerangs. They’re so popular I don’t know why they don’t keep making them
