  1. Vekoma today launched their new website just in time for the IAAPA in Orlando! The revamp not only displays their new logo and branding, but most importantly displays their exciting new concepts: https://www.vekoma.com Among the revelations are a layout for the Suspended Thrill Coaster, the next generation of SLCs: Finally some info about the Next Gen Flying coaster has been shown too: Also announced are an upcoming Next Gen Motorbike coaster, and the Lech Coaster (Bermuda Blitz) and Formula designs are finally present online too. (Lech photo by Flex) Super excited about the developments at Vekoma as you may know. Lech is my personal favourite coaster in Europe (above the likes of Helix, Taron, Expedition GeForce and Nemesis...) and the improvements in smoothness and ride elements from the company are spectacular. I actually met their new lead engineer Benjamin Bloemendaal for a video interview last September, and he's definitely very talented but also skilled at communicating his passion and ideas for designing rides (shameless self-advertisement there, but hey it's an insightful vid I swear!) 😍
  2. So only 1 year after it build the stunning Taron (and Raik), Phantasialand already announced its next big thing: the world's first launched Flying coaster! What we know: - It will be the longest Flyer in the world, beating current record holder Flying Dinosaur (1,124m) - It will be located in the new Steampunk zone - It will feature a launch (duh.) What we do not know: - The manufacturer. Money's on Vekoma now, but B&M is not out of the equation too. - Opening year. 2018 is possible since they already started working on the new zone this year, but 2019 seems more likely. - The type of launch. Magnetic and tyre are the two most discussed options. - The layout and elements. Phantasialand keeps adding amazing stuff at a crazy pace!
