What if the VEKOMA SLC was designed in 2023? - Planet Coaster

[@infinitecoasters8769]

My home park in Six Flags New England added vests to their SLC in 2017 and it made a world of difference for the ride. It’s obviously still shaky but now you can enjoy the elements without your head being a pinball machine.

[@CorvusCoasters]

Yeah its a welcome impovement :)

[@TheRealChiefBeef]

ye I rode riddler a while ago. Still shaky, but it was rlly forceful, and the heartline rolls at the end had some awesome whip at the end.

[@Zatoka.]

I can't even enjoy the elements with the vests. I rode it a few weeks ago, and it's at the bottom of my rankings. Like, very bottom. I love the layout, though. Nor'easter proves how good it is.

[@dutch_rollercoaster_thrill9059]

Condor at walibi holland also has the vest restraints the ride is so much better now

[@PolskiKrecikv2]

I think that in Energylandia they changed the head-bangers to vests somewhere around 2017, you still rock back and forth, but c'mon, that's the charm of SLC's, they must be rough. Again, I'm an average vekoma enjoyer so this may be a little biased, but I think that vest SLC's are good rides. Edit: it turned out I was wrong, Mayan always had vest restraints lol

[@miniaturethemepark94]

That’s a very good layout, it really could be a new version of the SLC! Would be fun if they use it for future sales

[@CorvusCoasters]

It would be pretty cool, any new Vekomas is a good thing. Thanks :)

[@timm14171]

@@CorvusCoastersthe first layout is very similar to the riddler at sfne

[@mcmadness110]

I don’t think there is anything inherently wrong with the layout. The only issues are the restraints, which have been fixed on some slc’s, and the track fabrication. The smoothness on new vekomas are down to fabrication methods. This can be seen with the retract of the great nor Easter.

[@jamesmdean1987]

That inversion after the cobra roll was absolutely sublime

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thank you :)

[@planetcoaductions8820]

SCL’s have really good layouts. Like imagine if B&M copied the layout and put it on one of there inverts

[@CorvusCoasters]

That would be very interesting:)

[@jasunstr]

Its kinda a STC but with an SLC inspired layout. Also, when ypu are going to do Vampire in Walibi Belgium, you should also go to Condor in Walibi Holland, its the first SLC and has the new vest restrains trains what made the ride much better.

[@CorvusCoasters]

I would I had the time to do both in the trip, both amazing parks :)

[@recordx6246]

First of all bravo! It looks so fantastic. But I honestly think that the layout of the original SLC is perfect. That little helix part that you took out in favor of the other half of the cobra roll actually pulls some amazing positive Gs near the back of the train. However I really loved your inclusion of that little airtime pop, and the way you profiled that double twist looks super amazing and cool. The slc has such good potential with them new generation of vekoma coasters. If vekoma just kept making the same layout with their new manufacturing process, it could be an elite invert that I would not mind being cloned for many different parks.

[@CorvusCoasters]

Any new Vekomas is always a good thing now they are so good, thanks :)

[@MandJGames]

Great coaster. I love the new suspended family vekoma coasters like Dragonflier at Dollywood. With how improved Vekoma is with their newer designs I am interested to ride and see more of the newer models.

[@CorvusCoasters]

Yeah the new vekoma inverts are so good, thanks :)

[@RandomStuffIol]

2:22 when you have been playing for years yet still don’t know the name

[@CorvusCoasters]

I've got more important things to remember haha

[@romthevacuousspider3565]

the layout before you removed the vertical loop reminded me of kumali at flamingo land

[@CorvusCoasters]

Yeah, Kumali is good :)

[@First-Drop-Studios]

custom supports look awesome!

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thank you! :)

[@green_wolf1036]

The SLC at the now defunked ratanga junction in south africa called cobra was my first ever coaster and I absolutely miss the coaster even though I don't remember the roughness of the ride as I was young but this video takes me back, Thank you and great remake. super great credit now that i look back

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks so much :)

[@green_wolf1036]

@@RealBigC06 omg thank you soo much, couldn’t find it anywhere online, gonna have to take a trip there when it opens

[@andyman127]

controversial opinion... the SLC layout is not the issues with the ride. The issues are construction and trains!

[@CorvusCoasters]

I do agree, but I wanted it make it more exciting and modern :)

[@andyman127]

@@CorvusCoasters I think it was an admirable goal that you achieved. I will say I miss the near miss with the half cobra roll on the first barrel roll of the old design, but the second dive roll on your version looks really fun. Also wonder if the helix and the end could under cut the initial drop to create another near miss moment. Then you could have a double up "air" moment into the brake run.

[@DavidVitrano]

What if T3 Kentucky Kingdom was we done as S&S Axis Coaster.

[@CorvusCoasters]

Cool idea :)

rode mayan lately and was surprised at how much better the new restraints made the ride vs infusion at bpb!

[@CorvusCoasters]

Yeah they are great :)

[@LadybugTVRollercoastervideos]

how did you make the white background for the cinematics/POV?

[@CorvusCoasters]

Using ReShade :)

[@BenTabnick]

Half of these elements seem basically force less and half of them seem deadly. Very accurate to the original. (This is a seriously good coaster tho, looks way better than the original)

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks haha :)

[@kingdragon3879]

i just wish the arrow suspended track had heartlining that’s the only reason why i haven’t made an stc yet but you made it work so maybe i’ll try it

[@CorvusCoasters]

Yeah it would be helpful, thanks :)

[@coasterswithmwah]

Such a great video, I always learn planet coaster skills from you all the time! I'm lucky enough to only have ridden Mayan in terms of SLC's so it can only go downhill from there 😅😅😅😅

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks so much, yeah Mayan is great :)

[@ColorblindUnicorn]

I love your double inverted corkscrew 🤩🔥

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks :)

[@musicalranchu]

This is incredible and butter smooth! You should do a maverick designed in 2024 😍😍😍

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks! That would be an interesting challenge, I've only really done ones that I've ridden myself so I can better understand the ride though, and I haven't been on Maverick yet :)

[@musicalranchu]

@@CorvusCoasters ah I see. If you're ever in the US, you should make a stop at Cedar Point!

[@jeffrixplayz]

9:35 its a weirdly shaped sea serpent roll

[@CorvusCoasters]

The element is called a roll over, I just couldn't remember it haha :)

[@jeffrixplayz]

@@CorvusCoasters oh haha i thought it was a sea serpant roll

[@Thicc_father_thanos]

Sea serpent rolls are cobra roll that throws ya out in the same direction, rollovers use heartline rolls at the top instead

[@antonytsai6611]

I think slcs are fine as is other than the ending a zero g roll or actual airtime would be great

[@kotchapakmaneechote2062]

Wow! Benjamin Bloemendaal needs to see this.

[@ohio_dino]

Wow to the coaster redesign

[@CorvusCoasters]

[@AirtimeVisual]

I rided 2 SLC, Vampire at Walibi Belgium and El Condor at Walibi Holland.

[@Smesens]

Hi :), one question, how do I get the vekoma type track for an inverted coaster?

[@CorvusCoasters]

Using the Steel Hydra :)

[@BenjiNerdyDog]

Nice redo of a *cough* ✨Not vewy nice✨ coaster into something smooth and rideable! 😧 Any ideas/tips for creating a boardwalk style park?

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thanks! I'd look at Chachos Pier park for some inspiration on that :)

[@Smesens]

wow it looks great its one of the best recreations on planet coaster it reminds me of batman the ride at six flags mexico, actually has the same colors and support color, designed in 2023 its almost the same its not the same but It would look pretty good for a park, especially for a six flags park I think, I wonder if maybe it would have been b&m track type, great video legend :)

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thank you :)

[@CoasterBoy3000]

The only slc I have ridden is infusion at Blackpool Pleasure Beach and my GOD it is rough, makes my head feel like it is in a washing machine!

[@CorvusCoasters]

It really is bad haha

[@powerfulefteling]

I went on the first ever built slc. Condor at walibi Holland. The first element is sooo rough

[@CorvusCoasters]

Wow I can imagine it is haha :)

[@TheAndroidvsapple]

You could just look up the STC model. This is the follow up model for the slc

[@CorvusCoasters]

Yeah thats what the new Gen models are called, but this is meaning the SLC layout :)

[@user-ud3qm2wq5c]

Idk if this was real how smooth the track would be but I have been on the only giovanola invert and it has those trains and they are extremely comfortable and no head banging although that could have just been the track.

[@CorvusCoasters]

Both trains and track make a huge difference with how smooth it is :)

[@NickLovesVelocicoaster]

How do u make the white background

[@CorvusCoasters]

Using ReShade :)

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

It would have a new track design.

[@imaginationsquare]

Vampire in Walibi Holland is amazing though, but it's been modified I think

[@CorvusCoasters]

I hope it is smooth because I think it's one of the firsts, I'm expecting it to be very rough 🤣

[@imaginationsquare]

@@CorvusCoasters I really enjoy vampire, it's still rough, obviously, but I am a tall person who experiences neckpains and headaches very quickly from rough rides, and as long as I keep my head back and centered, I personally really like Vampire. About what I think they modified, I think they changed the wheels, possibly, as not all of them look the same, which I find rather odd. If I remember correctly, it also seemed to mainly be the main running wheels that have this altering design. Also a year ago I noticed they had put the 2nd train in the maintanence track for 3 months (I went 3 times last year, once in July, once in August and once in September) and the train hadn't been repainted yet, but I found it odd it was off-track for so long. That's another reason I think they might have been modified, as I have older memories with my uncle from way back when, when I do remember it being rougher. Though I might be making that up.. None the less I hope you have a nice ride aswell, and are able to enjoy it to some degree! And one piece of advice, DON'T RIDE WEERWOLF/WEREWOLF/LOU GAROU! It is a Vekoma wooden coaster, and I do not know if you are a ware of the HELL those things are! I really strongly advice AGAINST riding Werewolf! And I'm not the only one who would tell you this! If you check out one of Walibi Belgiums latest Instagram Reels, where they tried to advertise the Werewolf coaster... Well the comments certainly knew who Rocky Mountain Construction was and the certainly wanted them to do something quickly! (I know this is off-topic haha) Werewolf is one of the greatest wooden coasters I have ridden, lay-out wise, but that coaster DOES leave me with pain for the next few days, it is NOT worth it, and if you do ride it, make sure you do the rest first so you do have an enjoyable time on the amazing other rides! Have fun! I'd love to hear your opinion on the park later, as Walibi Belgium (not sponsored ;p) is my second favorite park I have been thusfar! (first is Phantasialand, ofcourse!)

[@CorvusCoasters]

Yeah Werewolf does look... Interesting 😂 I'll be vlogging so you'll see how I get on haha

For the speeding up the lift till are you aware that you can actually change the lift hill speed

Yeah, but the older SLCs are really slow so its accurate :)
