SWO also struggles with staffing with Disney and Universal nearby. Having multiple rides from the same manufacturer makes cross-training and workforce management from both a maintenance and operations perspective so much less of a headache.

I did try to return it to the position it was in at dispatch, but it would pop back up to the new position. Only towards the end of the ride did I get it to lock down again. I was worried in the moment for sure, but I am not for a moment suggesting something was inherently unsafe, just...

Hey all, I had an experience on VelociCoaster a few days ago that legitimately made me fear for my safety for the first time ever in my 10+ years of being an enthusiast, but I was wondering if anyone perhaps with more technical knowledge of the new Intamin LSM trains could put my mind at ease...

No way the export permits would be approved to the US, plus there's no space. Whoever buys this park is stuck with these animals for a long time.

Any news on that zamperla windstarz ride?

I think it looks great

I know they have Wild Surge in the same park, but Serengeti Surge sounds way better.

I’m probably going to be proven crazy but I still think the seats could rotate like axis. Makes the track inversion not an inversion, plus slow speed sideways stall helix with traditional non rotating seats on the chessington ride sounds very uncomfortable.

What if each side of the track (each wing, per say) is a separate train and can operate independently of the other side?

Only in the US can you still be pouring foundations for a ride in late June when it’s supposed to open that season haha

VelociCoaster down all day both days that I’ve visited (just to ride it) since it’s been open. Really skeptical to pay over $100 for a third time to try to ride it.
