Just wondering what you think.

OK, a new Vekoma inverted coaster? That's not really as special as the video makes it out to be. I don't know about that choice seeing as most people say that this type of coaster is excessively rough.

Oh, and this should have been in the Amusement Park Industry forum =/.

It looks like the same track layout as other Vekoma's. I for one enjoyed the ride (same coaster, different park), but the longest I've ever had to wait has been less than 10 minutes. I don't recall it being excessively rough though.

Its not even new. Its a transplant from the now defunct Pleasureland Southport. There it was named Traumatizer.

Same old rough SLC, with new colors. Nothing special, and just adds even more crampedness to the already thrown together BPB.

KK this has not been updated for a while but in the vid it has Traumatizer at the front of the coaster, how has that happened.

^ Because the video isn't of Infusion, it's an edited video of Traumatizer used as a trailer.

I have never ridden Infusion at BPB but i had ridden Traumatizer a SPL dozens of times. They transported all the pieces to BPB after SPL shut down, they got rid of the log flume and spin doctor at BPB to put in Infusion. The only difference between these Vekoma coasters is that the original was red and over normal concrete whereas the new Infusion is blue and suspended over water. Hmmm do they sell nurofen or paracetamol at the exit because it will bang your head around loads!!!

^Green text is a bit anoying. Just write in black

Anyway, Thunderhawk at Geauga Lake (a Vekoma SLC) is OK. It's a bit rough, but I can handle it. I've experienced worse.

I'll give BPB this: Their Vekoma SLC definitely has the best water effects.:rolleyes:
