it looks like the same general idea as what IB is getting. Though I agree with what all has been said about this

I personally think it looks kinda fun, and crazy. But mechanically...

Looks fun, but looks like something out of No Limits.

It is No-Limits.... that's very weird.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

I think the flyer mechanically looks fine, no worse then the current Vekoma flyers. Ultra low capacity and very short layout though just seems useless. Any park that can afford that needs more than 1 8 person train (though it can come with 2 also, though I dont see that helping much)

I see it as the Vekoma Boomerang of the 2000's. Think about it.
They are both new designs
They seem to be built for parks that need a major attraction
It can't cost that much
Does alot in a small space
Made for parks with height and/or space limitations
Just my 2 Cents.

Hmmm, you might be on to something with that, I like your angle.
Think about when Flyers where the new thing, and how everyone was clamoring over them.
Makes sense to me
Im still not impressed by it

Haha, was that Video actually made by Vekoma? The picture of the stingray in the begining is beyond stupid, as is the speed of the train throughout the video. It reminds me of videos of the 1:32 scale model coasters.

I think the way rides like Superman loads passengers is better.
