Tests were due to take place in December on a new ride at the factory of KMG in Holland. Named the Twistec, it a 'skateboard' type attraction and will be delivered soon to the Dutch showman Otten.
KMG sales representative Jack Souilljee of Innorides says that the company is currently at a crossroads when it comes to developing new rides. “It’s a heavy investment and a big risk. Right now we are standing back and taking a good look at the market. The economical situation for most showmen is not good, and they are the ones that but the most high thrill rides. We have plenty of ideas, but if the situation continues we will have to go back to our routes and build more standard low priced attractions.”
KMG deliveries already planned for 2007 include a Fun Factory to a showman in Scotland, Freak Outs for parks at Hayling Island in England and Courtown and Portrush in Ireland, plus several Speed propeller rides for travelling customers.
