Hell has frozen over... a custom SLC!

While I am aware of various Vekoma SLCs with slight modifications, this, to my knowledge, is the first completely original Suspended Looping Coaster Vekoma has made since the original, El Condor.

It looks pretty nice, actually. Well, anyway, it made my day. I know, I'm crazy.

What about that one that was touted as the world's tallest but it's really only 180 ft. or something? It intertwines with a yellow Vekoma? Where is that?

Oh but Den, that's a GSLC (Giant Suspended Looping Coaster).

Damn Vekoma Website... they told me it was their first custom SLC... too bad they forgot the Jubilee Oydesee that they built... d'oh!

Just FYI, they yellow and red Vekoma that winds around JO is called Millenium Coaster, and is quite good from what I've heard (smoothness)

It was actually only about 160'...talk about false advertising...

I actually rode El Condor! :)
It's in SF Holland, right next to the Intamin mini-Hyper "Goliath".
I must say that El Condor was a really rough ride... we waited for it about 1.5 hours, and it's a terrible headbanger... nothing about this coaster is smooth or pleasant or even a great experience.
I was really happy to get out... I can't believe I stood for 1.5 hours in that dark shack that the wait-line was in.
Please tear it down soon!

:o)

LOL,it seems the only good SLC is an SLC that's about to be dismantled.

http://www.vekoma.com/News/magicalworld.htm heres jubilee odyssey. they count a horseshoe turn as an inversion which i think it a bit cheeky

Another creation of Vekoma's custom SLC. http://www.digital-coaster.com/~ft/vekoma/lagi.htm

Although a clone of it is under construction in China...

That thing actually looks pretty cool in the dark, but I dont know why they call that "a substantually different layout". It almost looks exactly the same, except everything is a little off center

LOL.

The Zero-G roll into the Cobra roll looks awsome!

I would love to ride it.

(A Zero-G roll on a Vekoma SLC. Who would have thought!?)

-----------------

It could be 200', I still like B&M's inverted.

Oh so that explains the snow storm we had here last night. I thought Hell felt a little colder than usual :) Ok so it's not really Hell, but we did get 7"+ last night here at Truman State University.

rentzy, the zero-g roll comes after the cobra roll. if you guys want, a recreation of this ride was posted on coastersims.com a while ago.

magforce, I know what you're talking about. I used to think Chicago winters were bad, but this year just sucks.
