    You can still see his NL2 work on Youtube :) https://www.youtube.com/user/CoasterLab Quite interesting in fact to watch his early creations, as they foreshadow his current contribution to Intamin's designs

    VinWonders | Phú Quốc, Vietnam | Theme Park

    It's testing footage and we're yet to see if Vekoma further fine-tune vehicle performance. Gotta admit it doesn't look as impressive as in the animation, but that's also because Lech set the standard so high.

    Coasters that you want to like, but don't

    Winjas I love the creativity behind the ride. All the tricks, dueling layout and charming Wuze Town scenery. The actual ride dynamic mostly lets me down though.
