While I havn't been on Jubilee, I do very much enjoy their standard SLC's. Good forces, very very decent foot choppers all over the place and a original layout and assortment of inversions. The only drawback to Vekoma's SLC's are that some of them are on the rough side. If only they would re-work the transitions and trains for future installations.....

There is also those custom ones being built/already built that I wouldn't mind trying out.

It's cool that you found the picture but it's too bad that there is no shot of the Vekoma 0-g roll. I wanted to see what one looked like.



Edit: There is a picture of the Vekoma 0-g. It's behind the loop.

i'd say the vekoma slc with helix was actually fun! The helix was acutally smooth [shocked] [lol]. Vekoma doesn't really make many different inverted rides so your pretty quick done about it. I'd rather would change the topic to all inverteds.

How would that 0-g roll be ? Would it be B&M like or is it just the usual anti-heartlining from Vekoma :P

I don't really think we can tell what the 0-g would be like because none of us that I know of have been to the park where that coaster is. There's also not much that you can see from the side view.


Click here for the link.

Yes I can see it now. I think that B&M 0-g rolls are much more heartlined then this one. It also looks kinda strange with a Vekoma track. But I would love to ride this track. :)

Yay I fixed it!!![:D] I would agree with you that B&M 0-g's look better. They have this really diabolical quality.
