Vekoma Topgun Model

[Paradox]

Vekoma has announced their new Topgun launch coaster model. It will be heading to 2 Fantawild parks in China.

All their model codenames sound like they could be actual ride names. What's next, the Iron Dragon model? Or the Lightning Run model?

The ride pacing looks very good. I want to ride it!

Looks like an insane ride. Only it looks really weird with just 2 cars!

This is due for 3 Fantawild Parks in China. These are Ningbo, Ganzhou and Kumming.

A Vekoma Top Gun is now going up at the second Fantawild park in Ningbo:

Come on western world, when do you finally realize Vekoma isn't what it was in the 90's?

Here's is Ningbo's Topgun Launch Coaster from a different angle:

I don't think that's the problem. The problem is that Vekoma can get these huge contracts for 20+ coasters in China with corporations like Fantawild and the like. It's far more cost efficient for them then to install a single coaster at your neighborhood park. It's not like they don't do smaller parks, but the waiting time is now 2 years + and many parks won't wait that long as they can get coasters faster from other manufacturers.

It's such a shame though. Rides like Lech and Formula are amazing and so will this.

I still believe it's a part of the problem. Past experiences with certain manufacturers last for quite a long time.

Looks like Ningbo's Top Gun is now complete:

Vekoma just crushing it. I can't wait to see a POV of this.

Testing for Ningbo's Top Gun has begun:

Also, here's a close up of the train for it:

That train design looks great

Another Vekoma Top Gun has recently been erected at another new Fantawild park in Ganzhou:

Layout is really original but rail shape and colours look "cheap"...considering that the train design is a masterpiece!
