Superman sounds like a solid guess. The Mega-Coasters as we know them started 2 years later in 1999. I was just trying to think what my first rollercoaster with hydraulic restraints was, but Colossos is certainly not the first one.

So Psyke will apparently be re-rebranded to Turbine?

100% agree. Most of the screaming nowadays is only because they want to scream. Honestly, people getting shot don’t scream half as much as those (usually) girls do. I can only imagine that their sole goal is to either ruin the fun of everyone else, or even hurting them by screaming in their...

Loopings.nl reported that Parc Asterix is planning an Egyptian themed hotel für 2026, an expansion to the first hotel in 2028 (+108 rooms) and a fifth hotel for 2028-2031. You can’t complain about a lack of ambition with this one! In my opinion the latest one is the best themed hotel I’ve ever...

It was still open during my visit, and when we left the park it was still running fine. So I can’t give you much information on that one, sorry :-(

keep in mind that the overbanked turn after the curve is fairly high compared to the MCBR. The nighttime temperatures are still fairly low, combined with maybe some wind it might have just been enough to keep the train from clearing the overbank. I can confirm from a friend who is at the park...

Thank you for using spoilers!

Today was the official press conference. Apparently, the effect track prior to the first launch is now active as well. Btw: Roland Mack mentioned that the current visitor limit for Europapark is ~35,000 people, not including Croatia.

Looks pretty shaky. You can also see the paint on the rail missing in some spots, which also hints to a shaky experience. Let's hope its just the video.

So, I've returned from my trip which included Bellewaerde. I did not expect Amazonia to be open when planning the trip, but I certainly don't complain. Once the gates opened, we imediately walked to the rides entrance. The queue isn't bad, but quite long with no ways to shorten it. You will...

I thought they were just doing a slightly modernised version of the original, just with significantly improved effects. But this… that’s actually really impressive. I guess Paris will finally loose its title of the best Space Mountain like coaster. (Even though the SW overlay is horrible) Just...

Just planned a counting tour through Belgium for this weekend. Looks like I might have a chance to give it a try this Sunday! If that turns out to be true, I will share my review.

It is actually really challenging to design a „good“ layout with such insane speeds. - The variance between cold and warm trains (yes, even in the desert) will significantly increase with track length and ride duration. Same goes for empty and full trains. Elements towards the end need to be...
