Oddesey, Record Breaker

I haven't posted tothis thread and have to say some threads are more enjoyable to read than others - and leave it at that. Anyway, I surfed into this thread just to mention that there are possibly TWO coasters named Odyssey going up in the UK next year (one Intamin, one Vekoma). The other, also confirmed, is a ten-inversion Intamin, and the name has not been decided - either Odyssey or Atlantis...TRUE! And I will also mention that while I've found Vekoma boomerangs and SLC's to be a little, shall we say, bangy, the Invertigo's I've been on were significantly less rough, and after riding all three flying coasters, I feel safe in saying Vekoma has learned something - "glass smooth".

Stoip bad-mouthing Vekoma - You are NOT a coaster fan if you don't recognise what they have done to the industry.

For example. Video Games were once only enjoyed by a few. Playstation game along and brought out lots of COOL but CRAP games.

Rollercoaster were once only enjoyed by a certain few, the rest were scared or didnt see the point.
Vekoma came along and brought a standard coaster series that gave every park a good ride.

Their best effort is the SLC, whilst not up to the standards of a B&M Invert - it is faster and more intense (some people say rough, but with the proper restriants on that we have in England, it is quite tame).

The people who say SLC's are rough are those same people who choose to ride Goliath Jr. over Goliath!

Please...we love coasters...I just wish someone would be able to see the plus points of every ride.

"Vekoma coasters are low quality, cloned ,copied, crap!!!!!"


B&M coasters are cloned and copied too. Ever hear of B:TR? All the great companies make clones...cept CCI, but you get my point.



Actually, Rampage is a clone of Megaphobia.

Lying requires 2 people.
1 to lie and 1 to listen.
Not quite...Rampage is a modified version of Megaphobia. For the most part, yes, Rampage is the same, but still...not quite.

Now, onto the topic:

How dare you (the offenders) make an assumption of what a coaster is going to be like when you have no clue what the layout will be. As far as I'm concerned, the Flying Dutchmans' seem to be pointing to the direction Vekoma is going.

Likewise I can't make an assumption that it will be good, but why go through the world being a pessimest, especially about something like a coaster? You'd ride it if you could, wouldn't you? So stop complaining!

All Vekoma has brought to the industry is copied rides, crap, If I could buy vekoma, I would change it around and vekomas track is stupid, it looks unprofessional. And Coasterbuzz is not some almighty site that no other site can compare, its not the greatest and the boards are not elite, just some forums for coaster people to discuss coasters and anything amusement-related and to have fun doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! some of you people make me sick thinking this site is like some giant empire which you hail the king, huh uhuh (**** ****)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, okay, you win! Vekoma is crap, Coasterbuzz is just another site, I am a complete idiot, and you are the king of the universe.

"Hmm, then why does a certain flying Vekoma product at Six Flags America have longer lines than a certain hyper Intamin product"

Maybe it could be because it's new this year?

By the way, I love them both.
onekong how old are you because judging by your posts I would say your about 2 years old. You are very arrogant and self-centered not to mention very rude. And it's very sad that I a 15 year old have more maturity that you. So I you want to pick a fight pick it somewhere besides here.
Cha-Ching...Reality check recieved:)

Hey, onekong, did you ever read the FAQ?

3. Flaming
In our efforts to maintain Coasterbuzz as a family-oriented site, the art of flaming is strictly prohibited in the forums. We define flaming as the intent of the topic is to spark a flame war, objectionable retaliation, and the like. Examples of these topics would include; My park is better than your park.., or Park X sucks... etc. Offending posts that spark this type of flaming will be removed, and the offender may be banned from making any further posts in our forum.

You better watch yourself man. Your flaming in the sence that you are saying "vekoma Sux" and you are starting a "Flame war". Just calm down, and remember we are all homies here. If you want to say the Vekoma "Sux", do one of two things-

1. Start a new topic and say your flaming there. Call it "vekoma Sux" or something like that. Then, just wait for about three minutes untill a mod finds it and nukes it.

2.Go to another board and flame. Here at Coasterbuzz, we have some of the best forums because of the moderating. Other sites really don't care. Not all, but some. This site has rules. Follow them for the appreciation of what Jeff has created and paid for here. Go to other sites that flame all of the time and join there crowd if you really feel that strongly that "vekoma Sux".

Now, about the Coasterbuzz statement, I have yet to find a better kept forum than the ones here on Coasterbuzz. I didn't say that Coasterbuzz is the best, but is definetely one of the top.

If you are such an enthusiast (which you should be if your on this site), why are you even dissing coasters? Shouldn't you be saying what's good and leaving what YOU believe is bad alone? If you are a TRUE enthusiast, you would be saying, "Well, we'll just have to see how it turns out." instead of jumping right away into "It's gonna Suck." or such.

And by the way, how come you seem to know so much about SLC's and Boomerangs when you haven't even been on one? If you have, modify your track record so no one else will jump on you for having such strong opinions on things you haven't even ridden.

One more thing, onekong, Bernard was kidding about the "jealous that no one is going to your site" thing. He was just toying with you.

And to Bernard, that was a good joke, but don't joke around someone who's obviously having a bad day or hates Vekoma, just leave him alone. It will tone down the noise on forums a little. Just friendly heads-up.

Shewww...I'm done.
