Vekoma posts history video for its 100th anniversary

From the video description:

In 2026, Vekoma celebrates its 100th anniversary. What began in 1926 as a manufacturer of agricultural equipment in the Dutch province of Limburg has grown into one of the world's leading designers and builders of roller coasters and attractions.

In this 30-minute documentary, we take you on a journey through a century of history. Through personal stories from former owners, employees, and current leaders, you'll discover how Vekoma evolved from a local family business into a global force in the attractions industry.

I find it vaguely entertaining that a good portion of the footage, including the screenshot, is from a Vekoma ride that was retracked by a third-party company (and, it should be said, radically improved in the process).


I would love it if companies, like Six Flags, would make the decision to start investing in older Arrow attractions with this new CSM track if they intend to keep them. Demon at Great America and Corkscrew at Cedar Point, are just a couple examples of iconic rides worth considering.
