85 mil gulden
For us who don't know what the He** those measurments add up to in the US measuring system, could someone please tell me?
It's a round 260ft tall, with a nearly 200ft loop, will be around 4160ft long, and will cost um... a lot.
And what "reliable source" told you this? Is it a rumor or the truth?

Yeah, no kidding where are you getting this from?

You build it, I'll ride it
It's a hang and bang anyway, so $1 is too much.
Well, since my park has 3 vekoma rides, I shall just head to teh Vekoma booth in Atlanta and ask for myself.

What park has three Vekomas?

Where would we be without the rumor mill?
It's Wild Adventures in Valdosta
They hav a SLC, a Boomerang, a rollerskater

I have seen this story on quite a few places, I believe it is true.

As for the roughness / headbanging, Vekoma should put the "vest" restraints on their SLC's, just like on Stealth. Modify them so that you would not need the additional leg bar, and headbanging would be a thing of the past. The Stealth vest restraints are very comfortable (for me at least). They are probably more expensive, and no ROI for any people involved, so it most likely will not happen.

So you want a coaster in your backyard? I hope you have a big backyard.
If this rumor is true then where are they building it. I'm still skeptical

oh, don't you want thrillride.com?

seriously though... im see no point in building a high inverted. they have a good sensation of speed, and little airtime.
Inverted coasters are not built for airtime.

Well, tejott is wrong, I do not work for Wild Adventures. If anyone can find me at IAAPA and figure out where I work, I will buy them a drink at the Hyatt. Did I mention anything about the Arrow booth and the '4th Dimension'? Oooh, new rumor.........
Agent J... is it SFFT or SFKK, they each have three Vekomas? Or you could mean PCW if you are including the new Silver Streak for next season.
wrong again....
