I read today on Screamscape.com that Vekoma canceled their deal with Paramount for the Dutchman because Paramount didn't uphold their part of the agreement to buy on every year. Also that Six Flags bought a couple of these rides from Vekoma. My question is do you think they will be original layouts, or clones like their slcs', boomerangs', and Invertigos'.
I think they should focus more on the load and unloading process before worrying about track design changes (IMO.) It's an unbearably slow process which causes longer wait times than normal.
If they change the track at all, I think they would make it longer. PGA's version isn't that long, but most of their coasters seemed to be compact for space reasons.

Thank you for riding America's Roller Coast
The two bought by Six Flags are pretty much clones. Vekoma has developed a longer one though which has only three inversions(Vertical loop, horseshoe and outer corkscrew), and allows for three train operation. I could see a park like SFO getting one of those.

Actually, I'm thinking SFMM is getting one, instead of the rumored Arrow 4th Dimension. Then they will install the Super Invertigo also. At least, that's what I hope! :)
