IAAPA 2016! Lots of Cool stuff!

[Turbo]

I swear I'm one of the only people who enjoys them. I think they're fun! Mind you I've been on both Green Lantern and Insane.

Uh, in fact, I personally wish to see B&M start producing their tricky tracks! I like technical coasters better than relatively smooth ones. They have to be a tad adventurous!

- Thanks for sending riders flying through dynamic or "furious" elements, though!

Probably was the dev team who added that train style in. Due to contracts and stuff they can't release certain train styles to the public after they make concept stuff like this.

Vekoma unfortunately has like 5 trains lying around we can't use lol.

lol I know I've seen them

Cool Vekoma launch concept!

Lol copying S&S much?

That inversion after the top hat looks insanely intense. Looks similar to the removed inline twist on Maverick!

[Oscar]

It looks really good

Looks like Vekoma's try at competing with Intamins Ispeed lsm launch coasters. I see they are liking their veyond verticle drops. Cool how they incorperate them into non-eurofighter style layouts!

And also some great news from Vekoma, they have already sold two of these to Vietnam and China.

Yeah, that loop looks hilariously small. Vekoma has come a long way.

Reminds me of something that picky NLE raters would describe as 'Newtony' and rate down because of said trait. As long as you're on it and it's fun, who cares, right? Are you even gonna be thinking about that while on it?

Yeah, we'll warmly welcome coasters with different "track shaping" styles!

Funny how that's literally what's happening on NLE right now.

Quick turns producing less lateral force = newtony? k

but now that you mention it lol I can't unsee. I'm curious how it rides

Kinda what inspired me to comment.

I'm gonna be honest and say arguments on NLE are usually pointless and occasionally harmful. Not a fun place to be sometimes.Those who are against it are probably far too obsessed with absolute perfection. But I really like the look of that layout anyway, and I think that Vekoma knows what they're doing!

Vekoma released a POV of the ride!

Excellent! My only worry for the ride has been eradicated by that video Looks like a fun layout

[Coasterkidmwm]

I think it looks fantastic as well

Great job by Vekoma

This actually could be interesting if Intamin just launches it all the way up the lift. Not just the final bit.
