Browntggrr Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Since 2006 Chance and Vekoma have worked together in North America and successfully delivered three Vekoma family coasters under license in the U.S. market. Another Suspended Family Coaster is currently under construction for Fun Spot Action Park in Orlando, FL that will open spring 2013.All of these joint U.S. projects were successfully delivered for the clients. Despite the good cooperation during the past years, effective October 2012, Chance and Vekoma have decided to separately approach the US-market. Our companies have valued the relationship and will work together to ensure a smooth transition on the existing projects. Chance Rides will continue to provide spare parts and technical service for all the rides built under the license agreement. Both companies are very positive about the future and look forward to meeting you at the upcoming IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando, FL. Chance Rides, Inc..

TombRaiderFTW Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I didn't know Chance and Vekoma even had anything to do with one another to begin with. Learn something new every day. Originally, was Vekoma doing the primary design, and then Chance provided the parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VortexBFForever Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The original Vekoma company went bankrupt. Just like Arrow Dynamics went bankrupt back in 2002, and then S&S Power purchased it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarPointer Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 "Mind Eraser": Never was there a more accurate name for a ride. (Now, if we're talking accurate acronyms, a certain park in southern Ohio might have that one...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
