Vermin is a semi subterranean B&M coaster, themed to be a borrowing vermin, because of its many tunnels. +1826.0 meters of track +173.0 FT drop (53.3 meters) +9 inversions! including: Corkscrew, Vertical Loop, Cobra Roll, Immelman, Dive Loop, Zero G Half Roll, Batwing + Top speed of 75.0 MPH (121.8 KMH)
Vermin is a product of Danish Industries, and part of a project dubbed "Danish Land."
Realism: We wont likely see something similar in the future. It is too difficult to build. Too many tunnels. Tecnique: Good but there are some problems with some supports too close to the track (main drop and after half loop). There are some footers in contact too. The part of the track below the Cobra Roll and before the lift I think is "peculiar". I would have preferred a conventional curve. Does the train arrive too fast to the lift? I havent ever seen something like this. Finally I would have preferred a complete G-Zero Roll after the spiral zone. Ok, I forget ... In my opinion the supports in the half loop are not equilibrated but I am not a specialist in load structures. I think you should use "buttresses/backstay" to balance the distribution of forces. Adding two footers below the Cobra Roll and joining to the main structure. Perhaps a more simple support structure would have been enough and would be cheaper. There are not rail connectors in this section. The pipes are assembled to the track structure directly. Adrenaline: Maybe a bit slow but It was funny on ride. The slow velocity is apropiated because of the close corners. Uniqueness: I think it is ver original. Rider value: It is a remarkable track. Quite positive
PD. I think that the half loop structure maybe works good because the compresion forces end in the main base but the pipes diameter are probably too slim ???????
