I actually wish that there was a way to build more Arrow suspended coasters, although I'd want them to be exciting rides like The Bat at KI rather than boring ones like Iron Dragon.

"Big Bad Wolf" would be IMO awesome, too! That last curved drop drew my attention! 8-)

Really wish this concept caught on more. If placed right the views could be amazing.

Also there should be more Aquatraxes

Honestly I don't see a park ever investing in one again, even if it has the B&M vest restraints so there is no headbanging, because people are too damned dumb to handle the concept. The loading is also obnoxiously long. This long loading issue is also why I don't think Cedar Fair will ever invest in a flying coaster.

Aside from that they're at least a nice sociological data source showing that only short men complain about it crushing their nuts, whereas children and actual tall people that are forced to ride in awkward crunched positions mysteriously never complain about that.

Vekoma made suspended coasters back in the 80s, but more notably, in the early to mid 2000s, they made floorless suspended swinging cars. Maybe if someone ordered one, they would make a custom, terrain, floorless, suspended swinging coaster? Wishful thinking, but maybe someday... :D

Speaking of Vekoma, I could really go for some more Flying Dutchmans. But ever since B&M came up with their own flying concept, it seems the Dutchman has given up the ghost...

Vekoma's coming out with some great stuff now. I can't wait to see them build more stuff.

Vekoma suspended coasters currently have a very "family" feel to them so I'm not convinced that they're aiming to market them to that sort of crowd. Would be great though - I really enjoyed Ninja at SFMM (pre tree purge).

But yeah, I think Vekoma are one for the future - they have delivered some really solid family based rollercoasters such as the suspended and the mini boomerang models and hopefully this success translates to the Polish coaster - and hopefully onwards from there!
