This is interesting, because Vekoma are notoriously in-house, and as far as I know always have been. Their track and support fabrication is done more or less exclusively in their own facilities around the world.
Richard is 100% correct there, Leathol weapon was manufactured in the Netherlands. Vekoma owns four production facilities (Vlodrop/Kessel in the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and China and we do our own engineering, manufacturing and service.)

Does anyone know who this ABL company is? I cant find any info or contact detail for this company.
You didn't do a very thorough search. It took me about 30 seconds to come up with these possibilities:
www.yellowpages.com.au"]Able Engineering Pty Ltd 17 Gantry Pl Braemar NSW 2575 ph: (02) 4871 **** Steel Fabricators &/or Mfrs Able Fabrications Pty Ltd 7 Orangegrove Ave Unanderra NSW 2526 ph: (02) 4271 **** Steel Fabricators &/or Mfrs Able Engineering Pty Ltd 46 Wolverhampton St Stafford QLD 4053 ph: (07) 3356 **** Metal Rolling & Forming
I know that they are not named ABL but it is pretty close. People have been wrong about names in the past. "The Bus is now leaving for ABLCS 9 Television Mast, South Australia"

RCDB appear to have added a couple of things ,according to them the ride will feature a top had that reaches a height of 40m, (equal to cyclone and 6.3 taller that LW) and the ride will open in October. Not sure of their sources, but if its true then this sounds pretty good and It would make it the second tallest Accelerator with inversions. Another thing to add, the Top hat would probably need to be a Kanonen style top hat where the twist is incorporated with the arch because Storm runner was pretty much at the limit of being able to have the twist and arch seperate whist keeping lateral Gs in check.
