How many Vekoma's have you been on?

The hang n bang SLC's are certainly rough, the jr inverts are rough, the looping coasters are rough, about the only thing of theirs that I haven't been on that was rough was the roller skatter (which I loved for a kiddie coaster) and the flyers (Borg).

wellI dont personally find all of them rough. I really like the roller skaters, the lsm bowl coasters, suprisingly the SLC at SFA (it was pretty intense but not rough), the mind trains they make, and the invertigo's. The flying coasters kinda sit on the fence but lean towards the really like side. The only coaster of theirs I thought was kinda rough is deja'vu, the jr. inverted and ninja...

Since we are talking about Scarowinds, I thought I might add this in about Winterfest....

I was checking the list of stuff out again this evening, and I don't remember seeing the Carolina Christmas section previously. If it was already on there, disregard this post. However, to answer the question of what rides - if any - will be running, the Kaleidoscope will be at least one of them. Cheers!

I finally found it also. Click on the cross under the hanging skeleton to the right of the house.

I installed it and its just an old TV showing promo pics and haloween stuff with a carved pumpkin beside of it.

I was refering to WinterFest Cephas. Hope i didn't get you to excited. I assume you thought i was talking about Scarowinds since this is a Scarowinds thread.

So how many of you go to Scarowinds just to ride the rides?

Yes, I know riding at night is awesome but I always enjoy the Haunted attractions first before I even think about getting on a ride.

Now, if we had a great terrain coaster that they could deck out in Halloween garb then that would be a different story. Alot of you don't care for Beast but imagine if it was all fogged over with thunder and lightning and gouls, owls, Jason, jumping out at ya.

I can see bad things happening when a coaster train traveling at 60mph swings around a bend and Freddy jumps out.

I mainly go just for the haunts. I do remeber back for the first Scarowinds before the log flume was re-themed Jason use to jump out at you with a chainsaw after you went over the first lift hill. That was pretty fun.
