Awesome To See U.S Parks Giving Vekoma A Chance Again After Their Absence While Serving For The International Market :)

[@TheCoasterSpot]

The huge problem for Vekoma was Six Flags stopped buying from them and sued them after all the problems with the Giant Inverted Boomerangs

​@@TheCoasterSpotAnd Here We Are With Their Brand New Super Boomerang , Let's Hope It'll Be Worth It :)

[@MrPopsfreshnmyer]

@@TheCoasterSpot How many did they sell in the US? Two or three?

[@TheCoasterSpot]

Three (Magic Mountain, Over Georgia & Great America) but at the time Six Flags had a European division and was involved with Parque Warner Madrid. So you can say Stunt Fall was part of it as well

Disney in Orlando put up Tron in 2021 which was a Vekoma, then they had one in 2014-seven Dwarfs mine train

Fantastic update, love the close ups!

I was lucky enough to go to Silver Dollar City during the construction of Time Traveler and then ride it the very next year.

Bro that is so cool I might go tomorrow

[@LivesinNYC]

I went to Six Flags yesterday

[@singthelongswansong]

I believe the Penguin Trek site was covered with old electrical infrastructure so they may have needed a bit more time.

[@ashleyfarahh]

I was at this park yesterday!! (May 17)

[@TheCoasterSpot]

Nice! Hope you had a good time despite the long lines

[@teresavillarroel8819]

Could you please do hurricane harbor update for 2024 season

[@TheCoasterSpot]

Hmmm…you know to got you covered! Was planning on slipping in tomorrow afternoon to do just that.
Hoping to do an updated tour in a few weeks

[@gdnoob_17]

Let's go I'm going to nj this summer

[@TheCoasterSpot]

My bad it’ll have to be next week. I didn’t realize that they cut the weekend before memorial day weekend this year.

[@MrCrash-hz8xy]

sucks I won't be able to ride this cause I'll be here for the first time June 18th

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

It could be open by then

[@TheCoasterSpot]

I doubt it they haven't started on the station, que and all the other infrastructure other than basic wiring.
