Lightning POV - Vekoma Launch coaster at Furuvik
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- First POV of the new for 2023 Vekoma Family Launch caster Lightning.
Each ride consists of two laps. The second features a rolling launch and is faster than the first.
It has a height limit of only 1 meter.
The coaster is located at Furuviksparken in Sweden

People that steal content should be forced to ride only SLCs for the rest of their life.
Man these New generation vekoma family coasters are something else. And they look smooth as butter and crazy intense.
Vekoma is slowly moving from the most hated to becoming one of the holy trio
@@annekedebruyn7797 I personally think they are the best they are perfecting every model even though I haven't ridden any yet I think they are easily rivalling the top companies with their versatility and smooth coasters
@@Themepark_Mania lol “I think they are the best “ “I haven’t ridden any yet”
What a joke those statements are together. And no Vekoma isn’t remotely close to Intamin or RMC and only a psycho would suggest otherwise lol. Making 35 family coasters per year doesn’t match the top dogs. vekoma has very few top tier thrill coasters and those few are nowhere near the best Intamins or RMCs. Maybe let people who actually ride them come up with those opinions lol.
@@annekedebruyn7797 not even close. Mack is closer to the holy trio then Vekoma.
@@gibiati8295 nice gatekeeping. Also, never said they were. I said they are slowly making progress towards that.
I'm a huge fan of what vekoma has been doing with mid-size and family coasters. There has been a giant gap between beginner and extreme coasters for decades and only now is it really being filled with novel products that treat their designs just as seriously as high-thrill intense rides. I think launch technology has been the largest factor in making these sorts of designs viable.
New gen vekoma POVs give me life. There’s something about the track design and the layouts that sooth my soul lmao
Well spoken! And getting some rides on them gives at least me even more life
Love that the second lap is slightly faster! Looks like a lot of fun!
It is super fun, even for people for normally prefer faster and more extreme coasters.
For us the first lap was faster. 😊 all five times. It felt like it almost would stop on the second lap at a curve at the top.
Interesting! I hade the same feeling on my rides - before opening and during opening weekend - but on the first lap. Maybe they have tweaked the launches since then. Looking forward to try it again.
I like the sound of the launches!
Haha, yes. It has a really nice whoooooosing sound
Been pretty pumped for this POV!
Us too!
I hope it lives up to the expectations!
Great job Vekoma👏🏻
Indeed! It is amazing how they have managed to push the boundries of not only larger coasters like Fonix and Lech but also family coasters like this
Brilliant.
Smooooooooth.
Nice to see that rmc has essentially risen the game for everyone.
Competition is a good thing when not taken to extremes.
Good use of space and tech.
I wouldn’t say this resembles an RMC in any way, but opinions are subjective. Cheetah Hunt and Verbolten are two examples of fairly intense family coasters which predate RMC’s major impact on the industry. Verbolten was built before RMC even made their first hybrid coaster.
Nice pacing & very smooth 👌🏼🎢👍🏼
Vekoma really did a great job!
super smooth, I think even my brother (scared of rc’s) would do this one
I can’t believe the fact that: everyone was hyped for big bear mountain, but nobody was talking about this. And this looks better than big bear 👌🏻
BBM is in one of the most popular parks in the world... and this is a so far rather unknown swedish park. But it is fun to see that this coaster is getting a lot of attention and I am certain we will se clones of it in many parks in the future.
That launch sounds nice.
Wow
Idk if it's just me but this coaster is quiet
Like even the launches
And it's so smooth too
Really impressed
I wish more smaller to mid size parks would get these
I'm not familiar with the park this was build in, but it sure seems like a great addition
Loving that landscaping. A little more horticulture, and it will be magical.
Give it a few months and it will be a striking combo of green grass, the black track and the red and white station. I really like how they left many boulders nearby the track during construction.
Riktigt bra video 👍 :)
Tack! En riktigt bra berg och dalbana!
insane keep up the good work i dont know why you only have 1.59k subs
Thank you! Yep, that is a mystery to me as well :- ) But I guess I don't post often enough and mostly cover a remote corner of the world. But I am really happy for the ones I got!
@@FABHadventures can you do project exodus at thorpe park please
My god. It's beautiful.
I just tried riding this and it has to be one of the best rides i've ever tried (no cap)
Happy you like it! And I totally agree, it is a really great little coaster
This looks pretty fun. I did wish the first round was as fast tho, but it does make great sense since its build to warm the kids up to bigger thrills. Have you ridden it? Or was this just mounted?
The POV is mounted but I got a few rides afterwards. It is a really fun coaster! Not as intense or fast as Juvelen but I can't think of a single coaster that is better when it comes to allowing riders with a hight of only 1 meter.
Very nice pov,i like the black track.amazing stuff
Thank you! I agree, the track looks really good. The color scheme is very clean with a red and white station together with the black track
Nice! 🥰
One of the best family coasters every built!
Just tried my first Vekoma Newer track Design coaster, newish... Orkanen in Fårup. Just that one
Looks cute and fun!
like your mom!
@@coasters4life388 wow you're so funny, I bet you're laughing in your gross smelly room at how funny you are. Your mom and dad must be so proud you made a funny yo mama joke. I can die peacefully now after having seen that incredible joke.
It astounds me that this is the same company that gave/cursed us with SLC's
Luckily they have hired some new people since them :- ) And I would love to try Great Nor'Easter since it is supposed to be rather good
Looks fun. Thanks for posting!
i love this
Me too!
in this video, you can so clearly see the boundaries between different elements- it is much better than the "classic" Vekoma loopers evidently,but the transitions are still very clearly visible, astonishing! With other coasters from this generation, this is not so easily possible - I wonder what happened here, whether the "planet coaster" feeling of this ride is an intentional feature.. (?)
Is this running with LIM’s instead of LSM’s?
Yes, Vekoma vent with LIMs on both Lightning and Big Bear Mountain. It apparently fit their current track and train design better.
@@FABHadventuresnice doesn’t say it on RCDB, glad to know that it is, Thanks! Hope to see more of them!
@SunshineStateCoasters Really hope so to! Lightning one of the best family coasters I have tried and people really seen to like BBM. Vekoma has developed a great new modell with their family launch coasters!
they are using LIM gen 2, it apparently fixes the problems with LIM. This allows the trains to be much lighter and less power to be used i think.
Is this a LIM launch like Big Bear Mountain?
Yes, it features an LIM launch. It is the same modell and track as BBM.
Small Bear Mountain
Would like to try..
love how the second lap is faster
Big bear mountain looks a little better
that queue is gonna be heinous
Not too bad at all on either opening day or last Sunday when I visited. The lines were never longer than approx 15 minutes. Furuvik is not a big park and offers other rides and coasters.
I read this as Vecna and thought it was a stranger things related rollercoaster lol
Probably just a matter of time...
Listen to how quiet this thing is. Insane.
Reminds me of riding scooby doo at kings dominion as a kid but with 2023 technology. Really cool
This is a lim launch?
Yes it is
Kommer det en video från premiären av Lightning?
Kanske :- ) Får se vad som händer då och vad jag hinner med.
When does it open?
This saturday - 3rd of June
@@FABHadventures very nice! Hopefully i can ride it soon
Wake up Wildcats revenge just opened
Looks great! But it also sooooo far way :- )
This coaster deserves a better thematization.
Big bear mountain but shorter
Same modell and many similar elements. And two laps… but yeah still shorter than BBM which is a impressive long coaster
I was waiting for a 3rd lap going even faster, that's too bad.
Haha, and why not a forth one! :- )
An amazing 400 riders per hour
The line moved quite fast opening night... But it is not a very big park so its capacity will probably be fine most days. And they always have the option of just doning one lap rides.
the track looks like togo track ngl
bro were the same age lol
You and me?
@@FABHadventures ye
Well, atleast we stay young by riding coasters
This video stabilisation is making me sea sick
Why black ….
Because it looks awesome?
😥 promo sm
What? Nope.
Hi can u pin?
looks mid
When you order Big Bear Mountain from wish…
2nd launch is faster. It looks fun!
It’s a family coaster.
So is Big Bear Mountain same model and manufacturer too, so it’s a fair comparison
@@stephenboshears4832 Yeah but you should also known in what park Big bear is and where Lighting is
What is the theme of this? Dirt Land??!! Lame AF
The POV is shot a few weeks before opening. Lots of grass and plants were added before it was opened to the public.
😴 this looks very boring.
Not every ride can be a steel vengeance or kingda ka. There are also little kids who want to try there first steps in coasters
Average
I can’t believe the fact that: everyone was hyped for big bear mountain, but nobody was talking about this. And this looks better than big bear 👌🏻
