Nope, they made Loup-Garou as well... wich will also get the RMC treatment in a few years apparently. Same with Tonnerre de Zeus. The Compagnie des Alpes wants to renew all their wooden coasters.
ahem no thanks xD
Right now I'm sitting at 100 Credits, with my top 5 looking like this.
1. Millennium Force
2. Skyrush
3. El Toro
4. i305
5. Diamondback
Coasters I really want to get on
1. Fury
2. Any RMC (I haven't been on one yet but will get to in March because Twisted Timbers is at my home park)
3. Thunderbird
4. Not sure what else actually :)
This was a thread on NLE a while back, thought I would revive it to see how people's lists might have changed since
I currently have a CC of 143, should be over 200 at the end of the year
and here are my top ride lists:
Threw in flat ride and dark ride rankings too for a bit of fun as well. What are your guys's top 10's like?
Is thundercoaster sort of like how mammut was sort of built by gerstlauer?
^^ Seriously impressive stuff. So far my favorite that I have seen a POV of :)
^You're correct, Thundercoaster is not a "proper" Vekoma woodie. I don't really know how much Vekoma was involved with the construction of Thundercoaster. Obviously they supplied the trains and maybe some of the other technical stuff, but other than that I'm not really sure how much they were involved.
Unfortunately I don't think the new trains has done the ride any favors. I think that due to the short cars, they might become more vulnerable to imperfections in the track compared to the old 3-bench cars.
^ impressive!
Haven't made a montage yet so here is a raw onride of my entry :P
I'm not really sure Thundercoaster is a Vekoma tho. RCDB says Designer: Allott and Lomax
Installer: Martin & Vleminckx. The original trains might be provided by Vekoma, but only that.
I rode them all, I liked their layouts. I had a great ride on Robin Hood (but that must have been exceptional) and decent rides on Loup Garo (althought the lap-bar was hurting my tights on the inal brakes). Thundercoaster on the other hand has a wonderful terrain layout, but is awful to ride. I think the GravityKraft trains made it actually worse - or anyways not better. They shake like crazy at various points it's almost dangerous. Heck, the first row was condemned and I'm sure it's linked to the shakyness.

^^Thundercoaster can be amazing, but after they got the new Timberliner trains it's very rough in the sections that have not been retracted yet. When they retrack those sections it will be amazing again :D
I hope it will be! During my last visits to Tusenfryd in 2015 and 2016 it has been terrible.
As for Robin Hood, I didn't really have that much of a problem with roughness when I rode it in 2016, but the lapbar tightened during the ride and that was very uncomfortable.
It's such a shame because in 2014 it was running fantastic! The new Timberliners really ruined the ride...

Robin Hood has a pretty good layout and good airtimes for a wooden coaster but it shakes and hurts alot. Also, the lap bars are not that comfortable...

Horrible! But probably because of ageing. The layouts aren't super fun or so.
Ah, my mistake. Has anyone here experienced them? How do they ride? Vekoma's past dip into the world of wooden coasters has always fascinated me.
^No Werewolf @ Walibi Belguim and Thundercoaster @ Tusenfryd are vekoma's too

Isn't the original Robin Hood Vekoma's only wooden coaster?
That actually looks really good - great work!
