New Launch Coaster Concept From Vekoma

[TheCoasterCruiser]

So I was browsing through some manufactures when I found this new product from Vekoma!

It's basically Vekoma's take on the Maurer R Coaster.

Track Length: 460m/470m
Max Speed: 60 km/h
Min. Height Requirement: 1.10m
No. Trains: 4 x 2
Capacity: 960 pph

Looks like an interesting concept; I could see some smaller parks considering this as an option for a "big thrill" ride.

Knowing how well Maurer's R Coaster sold, though, I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Duelling launch coaster, that looks like great fun. I'd love to see one of these pop up soon. Great find!

That's interesting. There's an unknown Vekoma launched coaster due to open at hot go Park in Fushun, China next year. Based in timing alone there is a possibility it's something similar to this. We'll find out soon I guess.

Looks real fun! But I have to agree with BBH. It wont go that far. I give it at least two models to be made. I would love to see this in action!

Wasn't that the rumoured (of many) coasters to be added for Drayton Manor?

/\ A coaster similar to this one was rumoured for 2014.

It's definitely a family coaster and to which, looks good fun.
