Why are'nt there more of these?

These type of inverted coasters gotta be better than the typical vekoma SLC, to bad there ain't more around:

Ive never been on one of those but i bet they would be ALOT smoother

The Vekoma SLC is probably alot cheaper than those Intamin inverts. If memory serves me right, the standard SLC from Vekoma is roughly the same price as a basic Intamin Impulse.

Another reason is that the Vekoma SLC is more of a complete 'package'. 5 inversions in a very small space. The Vekoma SLC is more like a ready made Lego kit where as those Intamin suspended coasters are custom built.

I guess that would make sense [:p]. Still, I mean like CP or a Six Flags could afford it and build it. They look really neat!

Do you know why they are cheap...because vekoma is cheap!!!

Hmmm. Thats an interesting coaster. It looks like it uses Intamin inverted trains but with a lift instead of a launch.


Edit: I started writing this about half an hour ago but I had things to do and didn't finish.

B&M has more of a name to thier inverts, although, I personally would kill to ride an Intamin invert.

Then lets hope no one gets in your way on your path to Intamin invert glory. We wouldn't want you killing people now would we?

Actually I remember seeing that the SLC is comparable to price with the B&M Batman clone.

Seeing as though they probably take up a similar footprint (ones a square the other is a rectangle) which would YOU rather see built?!


I think they both come in around 10 million. It should be a no brainer.

Dont foregt about Volcano, thats another one.

lol, WE KNOW!

[hyyyper]

and last but not least, vekoma is dutch

LOL, so what?

Actualy Skytrak International built the first flying coaster, not Vekoma and it was in England, so we are still the first to have a flying coaster

I have never seen an inverted like that.

to bad there are no pics. of that flying coaster, is it the same track style and similar layout of the vekoma?

[Brtnboarder495]

Actually the reason the Intamin Inverted are more expensive is that they are'nt clones, they require custom designs and are'nt compact. But still it looks like an awesome ride. Yes hyyyper I noticed that other coaster too, still that's only two coasters.
