Orlando, Monday, 29 September 2025.
Vekoma expanded its Orlando footprint and, earlier this month, delivered two contrasting coasters that underline a deliberate North American push: a family-focused 400‑m, 61 km/h Yeti Trek at Santa’s Village and Siren’s Curse — billed as North America’s tallest, longest and fastest tilt coaster — at Cedar Point. The move pairs localised engineering, project management and after‑sales capacity with visible product diversification: a re‑rideable, throughput‑optimised family asset and a mechanically novel tilt system designed for headline-driving capacity and guest experience. For operators, the takeaway is operational: regional supplier presence can materially shorten lead times, de‑risk installation and improve spare‑parts logistics during heightened post‑pandemic CAPEX cycles. Expect parks to continue balancing family-first investments with marquee thrill attractions; Vekoma’s expanded Orlando office signals suppliers will increasingly compete on speed and local service as much as on ride spec and theming.
