Ride manufacturer Vekoma showcased several new projects at IAAPA in November.
Vekoma’s new Wizard of Oz-themed rollercoaster Kansas Twister and suspended family coaster Flight of the Wicked Witch are set to open at the end of the year at Warner Bros. Movie World Australia’s new Wizard of Oz land.
These two rides offer very different experiences: a family thrill suspended coaster experience, with an unobstructed flying sensation and high speed; and a racing shuttle coaster experience, with forward and backward runs, and a number of crossing and duelling.
Meanwhile, Dreamworld on the Gold Coast in Australia is launching what’s been described as ‘the world’s first Switchback Coaster’ Jungle Rush as part of its new Rivertown area. This family-thrill coaster features an inclined turntable, show sections and multi directional travel, and has been designed to support multiple different cycle paths. It will include 12 airtime elements, dedicated show moments and the ability to run both backwards and forwards.
Future projects include a new indoor family launch coaster, named Aquila, opening at the Polish theme park Mandoria in 2025 and the opening of the indoor family coaster Bulder Baan at new Netherlands indoor theme park Bommelwereld also in 2025.
