We're looking at the classic and doomed Vekoma SLC model on our new episode that releases next Friday.

Anyone out there still like original SLC rides? Anyone ever like them?? Bueller..??

This episode is fun, especially if you love hating on a coaster model a lot. Join us next week as we look at this much hated rider in a park we've never visited yet on this podcast.

See you soon, it's gonna be a fun one!

For all you Flying Dutchman lovers out there, this one's for you. (And I know you're out there, our episode on Firehawk is one of our most-listened to episodes ever)

Batwing at Six Flags America is a Vekoma Flying Dutchman model that opened in the park in 2001. A smaller coaster that reaches a top height of 115ft, it still includes 5 inversions including a vertical loop, 2 in-line twists, and a horseshoe.

Stealth was a Vekoma Flying Dutchman that operated at California's Great America from 2000 to 2003. The roller coaster cost $17 million USD to construct and reached a top speed of 51MPH.

Her life at the park was cut short when plans were announced to expand the water park. Luckily she found a second life at @Carowinds where she has been operating ever since as Nighthawk.
