Theme Park Discussion / Vekoma's new trains.

Clicky

Thought this was quite interesting, they've developed new 4 seated trains for suspsended and sit-down models. Sit-down trains available with lap-bars or a 'vest-style' over the shoulder.

They look quite nice actually.

Seen this a while ago

It is interesting. Looks nice but still. I think B&M have got the inverts covered, Vekoma are aiming to compete with them IMO..... B&M still and will leave them dead in the water. But with the sitdowns... they could be good.

Yup
They are running already

I actually loved Vekoma's 2 seated cars

so basically what bm has ... ?

^yeah, that's what i got from it.

can't wait for a vekoma hyper tho

Those sit-downs look hot! I'm definitely interested in knowing how they'll compare with B&M trains.

Yeah I saw this already.

See I always said Vekoma's the shit. Bitch look at me now.

^I've always loved Vekoma. I think their track is the best looking. It's so sexy and with the addition of these trains <3

Following Suit Maurer are introducing their own versions.

Maybe so, but its a solid buisness move from their point of view. The larger trains from both companies will provide higher capacity and throughput on their rides. Making them much more attractive to the larger parks.

Yeah I was going to post the MS trains too.

Interestingly as well the 2 new 2010 S&S launched coasters in China will also have 4 across seating. Another first for them
