Man it feels like every park is getting a Vekoma this year. Really feels like a US Vekoma comeback is in progress.
Could be 48" height requirement & 10 seconds of weightlessness?
50 meters tall is spot on according to RCDB. Vekoma's website says 52.5 meter lift, but RCDB says Cloud Shuttle is 164 feet tall which is essentially 50 meters exactly. I assume Vekoma's number is including the decorative topper on the tower or something?
No wayyyy I just saw a video of one the other day from overseas and thought it looked epic. I’m so on the Vekoma bandwagon train right now. Congratulations to Vekoma!
2nd thoughts… damn this line will be long

800 riders per hour capacity per Vekoma. It's not great but it's not terrible, either. Pretty much fits in line with the ride capacities parks have been shooting for for the past 5 years.
It won't happen but imagine a turntable or switch track for two train ops
Couple of thoughts:
1. The ride model’s page on Vekoma’s website has some pictures to scroll through, and the first one just says “coming soon.” As if we needed more proof
2. What if they’re getting two of them? There’s definitely room and it would help with capacity. Probably wishful thinking, but it doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility
3. The upwards heartline roll into the spike is a very nice spiritual successor to the similar element formerly found on The Chiller

also here's essentially the footprint of the ride:
How the hell did I hit this on the nose (well sort of)

It may be dueling, who knows? I have a source that said 3 new rides total for next year. By source I mean an attractions supervisor, who may or may not actually know anything
Holy sh*t. Consider me extremely interested in Great Adventure in 2024. Just watched footage of Cloud Shuttle, yup I don’t care if the line is long and slow at least the ride will be epic each time and be exciting to watch each time while in line. Now THIS is the Vekoma I want to see go up
I'm just so happy next year is basically shaping up to be the year of Vekoma making a big splash in the states.
The Super Boomerang would make a great coaster for that front area, and as others have pointed out, nice wink wink to the past potentially.

Look up "Cloud Shuttle" in China. That is a currently operating Super Boomerang that opened last month. Current speculation, it would be a clone of that, It's crazy seeing thoosies call it "just a boomerang at the end of the day"
Like in what way is that ride similar to a "Vekoma Boomerang" other than the shuttle aspect? Like how do you write off something obviously overwhelmingly different otherwise because it's called "Boomerang?"
