Thunderbolt Schwarzkopf?

[scott]

Was Thunderbolt made by Schwarzkopf?Judging from the loops I'd say so.If not then who did build it. :confused:

[T-bone]

Construction: Steel Ride Type: Sitdown Looper Manufacturer: Meisho All taken from the sites Database mate.

Meisho? Never heard of them.Is it Jappaneese?

Sounds Japanese

Meisho is a sub-division of vekoma isnt it?

[T-bone]

The track does look a bit vekomish.

[steve$]

yeah,A bit more B&mish for me but i havent seen any remotely close pictures. Just an aerial shot

[pazzap]

it was definitely Meisho but alot of people including myself initially got confused and thought it was a Schwarzkopf. Look at the lazer at Dorney Park and the drop and loops look exactly the same.

Howdy, on vacation from Noosa checking up on all you coaster noobs. Yes, Meisho is basically Japan's Vekoma partner as such. Not sure how exactly we got it down here though, we could've gone with something alot more decent, if only intamin were making rocket coasters in the eighties. But that also explains why Thunderbolt has all the catwalks throughout the entire track. All those earthquakes and natural distasters 'n' stuff like that. I'd be interested though if someone could shed some light on exactly how Dreamworld got their hands on a Japanese looper!? Merry Christmas!

Connections? The company could have made offers to a couple of parks down under?
