Vekoma Bought by Sansei Technologies

Just Saw this on Screamcapes, that Sansei, the company that owns S&S, just bought all assets from Vekoma. It now on their Website

[Paradox]

Well Vekoma had a good run. Sucks that they're gonna be ruined just as they were becoming great.

According to this section of the article, i don't think we will see many changes under the new management:

Governance structure

The conditions of the acquisition stipulate that no changes may be made to the strategy, management, terms of employment and the location of the business. Vekoma???s governance structure will, therefore, remain virtually unchanged after the acquisition, and its current management team will remain intact. Mr Nakagawa, CEO of Sansei, will sit on the Supervisory Board along with the current two Supervisory Board members, Mr Van Biert and Mr Steenbakker. The company will continue its activities under the same trade name as an independently operating company. The Works Council of Vekoma Rides, which was involved in the process from an early stage, gave a positive advice on the acquisition.

So hopefully, we will continue to see more great coasters come out of Vekoma.

as long as they don't mess up F.L.Y. I'm alright

FLY is already designed right, so they're not going to go back in and change a design.

I hope this just gives Vekoma a bit more purchasing power and perhaps a greater presence in Asia. Also considering Vekoma has worked with RMC we might see a partnership opening up over there, which means potentially more RMC's I guess.

I "Time Does Fly!" cry... We can't say like "Vekoma SLC!" anymore...
