Balagos received a new train by Sunkid GmbH. The train from 2021 turned out to be too heavy for the track of the Vekoma Tornado. The new train by Sunkid GmbH is a newer and importantly lighter version. The train from 2021 was moved to Pleasurewood Hills to replace the old Vekoma train on their Boomerang coaster 'Wipeout 2.0'. | |
'Tornado' has been overhauled and refurbished during the 2020-2021 winter season. A new train by Sunkid GmbH also replaced the old Vekoma train. |
The inititally themeless 'Tornado' from 1990 was rethemed to have a dragon theme and was renamed to 'Balagos'. This made the coaster fit in with a new medieval and dragon themed area. |
