Vekoma glow up is real

Started by coasterdad73 on Jun 17, 2026 4:10 PM

Old Vekoma jokes are kinda tired now. The new track and trains look legit and parks should be looking at them more.

I rode it in the back and it was way better than the front. Row matters more than people admit.

Floorless trains made sense back then. Now they feel more like marketing, but I still enjoy the open feeling.

Nah, smooth doesnt automatically mean boring. I hear that all the time and it feels like people just want pain lol. I know folks wont like that but whatever.

Wing coasters are vibes. Maybe not the strongest rides but they look insane from the midway.

This thread is getting spicy but honestly thats why I like forums more than comment sections. Also sorry but that take is wild.

Skip passes are worth it only when you traveled far. For my home park I just come back another day.

I think B&M hypers are comfort food coasters. Not always the best meal, but always a good one.

The photo angle from outside the cobra roll is usually money. You get train, track, and faces all in one shot.

LSM launches are smoother but hydraulic launches had violence in a good way.

Millennium Force is not an airtime machine and thats fine. Its about speed and scale, why is that bad?

The best coaster photos have people in the train reacting. Empty train shots feel kinda lifeless.

Steel Vengeance is great but the line and locker mess made me grumpy before I even sat down.

Photo approvals are a good idea tbh. Otherwise every page turns into blurry station pics.
