This has got to be one of the worst renderings for a new ride ive ever seen lol
News Project 2027/Cyber Cycle: Thrill Glider (Prototype Vekoma Inverted Straddle Coaster)
- Thread starter Viator
- Start date
Look at the records on the website, this might be the most Six Flags announcement I've ever seen.
Man I hope the theming and landscaping from the pov actually happen, because it looks great! Would become one of, if not the nicest spot in the park aesthetically imo
This looks sick. glad it's finally happening after so many YEARS of talking about it and delays
So the stats and layout I saw on the press kit were all accurate except the length.
The one element that I liked about this and you can barely see at the beginning of the POV because of the logo being in the way, is that the first launch out of the station is a double-up and not a straight incline!

40+ years later, and Vekoma has finally solved the inverting-suspended problem that Arrow and Schwarzkopf couldn't.
And at LOL and all of those "records." - Like, it's the only one, of course its going to the tallest/fastest/most inversions.
Also also, thirding/fourthing anyone who said that this is what SFGAdv needs.

The name is super disappointing and the record claims are lame, but the ride itself looks really fun. I rode both F.L.Y. and Hals-uber-Kopf while in Germany several years ago, and this looks like it will probably be between those two in terms of intensity. I fully expect it to be extremely popular with the public, so with the subpar capacity we'll probably be looking at some very long lines for this one.
"Man what should we name our thrill glider"
"say that again?"
"...you're a genius !!! just dont forget to remove the media kid link after the media gets it !!!! ^^"
I do mess with a theme (disregarding whatever is meant by "futurist") but I've been loosing it over the name and records. "This is Thrill Glider. It is the first Thrill Glider. It is also the Tallest Thrill Glider" I am ken, my job is beach /j.lh

They've been included in lots of announcements recently, like Werewolf Gorge and Phantom Theater.
If permittable, run it from Frontier Adventures or Pine Barrens and run it back along the side of the lake.
Couldve called it Solar Glider. Like, try anything. The model looks cool though.
Are they saying those records bc Vekoma has already sold a second one and so they know it will be true in the short term?

This is the first one I've actually cared to open a news article on
There are two more opening. One in 2028 and another in 2029. And who knows if SF bought more than one.
Do the trains swing? Am I missing something? The pov to me looks like fairly standard invert territory? I mean obviously it's got some unique elements and its brand new so it'll be nice and smooth but i'm struggling with the swinging arrow comparison? Anybody please feel free to enlighten me
PRNewswire is the service Six Flags uses to publish their press releases outside of who’s on their email distribution list. This is literally THE press release.
Something I'm excited for with this that I haven't really hear anyone else also be excited for is a launched invert in the US!
Wonder why SF didn't go with the Cyber Cycle name that they trademarked?
They didn't trademark that name, it was just the internal project name.
