Vekoma isn't the same anymore! Gone are the rough and bumpy SLCs, next generation Vekoma rides dazzle enthusiasts with innovative and forceful designs. But how did the manufacturer manage such a turnaround? In this video, I look at the reasons why Vekoma revolutioned itself.
Thanks to Flex and CSLKennyNI for allowing me to use their pictures.
