    Vekoma might run B&M into bankruptcy if B&M can't figure out why their rides are suddenly getting a noticeable rattle.

    • @Studio732JRL-k7y
      @Studio732JRL-k7y Месяц назад +1

      They might do that even IF B&M figures that out. B&M's are very expensive, and a lot of their models have already saturated their markets regionally. Although B&M is responsible for giving us the Invert, Dive, Giga, Hyper, Wing, etc. etc. etc., they are a company that likes to play things safe- but a consequence of that is causing them to fall behind other, more innovative companies like Intamin and the new gen vekoma.
      B&M was my favorite manufacturer as of just a few years ago, but it's clear that they need to make some major changes both innovative (design and research) and improving ride quality in order to maintain the long term, enormous success they've enjoyed this far. It would probably take a very long time, considering they don't take the risks that a company like Arrow used to, but five years ago I'd say you were crazy to even suggest it (even now its odds of happening are remarkably low), but now there is room for that discussion.
      Hopefully they realize this and look at the future like how they modified the stand-up (surf coaster and how they are building a second launched wing coaster) but only time will tell. They are still a world class manufacturer, but it does seem like we are hearing more of "I SHOULDN'T have gotten a B&M". And that doesn't bode well.

    Vekoma has risen again like a Phoenix from the ashes. My only real grief about Vekoma is their bussiness model of copy and paste layouts. I feel they should really expand out to more custom designs. I see a huge opportunity for them to expand out to put them right on par with Intamin and B&M.

They made strange choices of new things the last decennia and need more variation I think. Would love to see a woody over there but that is going to be difficult I’m afraid, with noise and permissions, it’s not easy to get something build here in Belgium. A Mack family spinner would be also a great choice over there or a straddled coaster from intamin, both something different to add to their lineup.

      Haven't done this one but hals uber kopf is extremly rerideable. They are incredbly smooth and more flowy than forcefull. I personaly like the good B&M's better but these are more enjoyable for a wider range of people while still fun for the more adrenaline oriented peeps (like me).

    when I saw the title and saw Vekoma and Suspended right next to eachother, I prepared for the worst. The coaster actually looks really nice.

      @@CoasterStudios I have also ridden both and I agree that it's better that Hals-Uber-Kopf. All Emerald Park (Tayto Park) needs to be a truly excellent park in my home country (yes I'm irish) would be to expand and add an Intamin Blitz
