Vekoma Stingray goes China

The construction of this coaster has recently been started.





Thanks to Dirk Ermen for find this update.

that looks awsome.

I think that lift hill will be quite a sensation.

That is the weirdest looking layout l have ever seen, I bet it'll turn out to be a pretty sick ride!

i agree with tiepilot35... also the whole thing looks pretty intense!!! [:D]

It just screams deathtrap.

Well guess we'll have to see...Vekoma i think has some good idea sometimes.....but they have trobule with their execution...like their orginal flyers...not really a bad idea...but the trains were bad...took so long to load and unload and they break-down often....from first hand experience....but maybe this new coaster will be a step in the right direction

I love the way that first element looks. Awesome.

Can't wait to see this thing done.

The coaster looks like it could be a lot of fun. As far as general concept goes, it seems pretty similar to Steel Hawg with the compact layout and tight turns.

Hmm, I still have my doubts about it but for some reason it looks pretty cool!

Tower of Terror is not over 400ft.

am i the only one that has noticed that it isn't heartlined?!

seriously, that thing looks awesome, but take alook at at that half roll, it's about as heartlined as i am! i am confuzzled as to why it is not, even if it isn't at speed, surely it should be heartlined, or am i just a noob?

It probably is heartlined. It just doesn't look that way because of the angle of the photo and because of the flying position that the riders will be in.

OK, cool. i trust your judgement there, I am just hoping you are right.

Yes, it is heartlined, look at the second picture below ^

More picts!

Angle that the sim picture was taken from:

And showing how tiny this little thing really is:


It's done, cant wait to see the trains running! What fast construction!

holy cr*p that hing was put up fast! how long since it started?

I really like the look of this one, I think it'l be an outstanding ride. I'm growing rather fond of these smaller footprint rides, like this, steel hawg and kirnu, seeing them go up that quickly is another selling point.

I just hope they put some fast ride-ops in that station, because by the looks of it, it won't have a high capacity

^ its china, guests will wait patiently in an orderly fashion... OR ELSE!!!
kinda looks neeto, but golly, sure short..

that ride looks eh. Yes, it is heartlined, you can see it, but really, it doesn't look really all that fun unless you possibly went around the track twice. The ride itself seems fun, but im not gonna wait in line for more than 5 minutes to ride this thing. That also reminds me, im at boarding school and my roomy is from china! lol, small world huh?

Well they have a billion people in China and all you dweeb.

That looks to be a really fun ride. I want to go. I want to go. I want to go.

Wow. A cool concept. I would love to see this ride in action.

The pictures of trains have been released on vekomas website!






Hopefully these trains are as comfortable as their other flyer trains, they look a little different.

Looks like a mix between the Vekoma and B&M flyers. Look pretty comfy to me, actually.
