T-bone 293 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 The track does look a bit vekomish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pazzap 6 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 it was definitely Meisho but alot of people including myself initially got confused and thought it was a Schwarzkopf. Look at the lazer at Dorney Park and the drop and loops look exactly the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slick 1,861 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 Howdy, on vacation from Noosa checking up on all you coaster noobs. Yes, Meisho is basically Japan's Vekoma partner as such. Not sure how exactly we got it down here though, we could've gone with something alot more decent, if only intamin were making rocket coasters in the eighties. But that also explains why Thunderbolt has all the catwalks throughout the entire track. All those earthquakes and natural distasters 'n' stuff like that. I'd be interested though if someone could shed some light on exactly how Dreamworld got their hands on a Japanese looper!? Merry Christmas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
