Right now, this website just says "Access Denied", however scrolling down to the bottom gives you some links you're able to click on, including the Rides and Directions tabs. The Rides page...

    Six Flags Great America | Maxx Force | S&S Air Launch

    Six Flags Great America has just announced that they are tearing down the old "Pictorium" IMAX theater of 39 years. When it opened, it brought brand new technology to the theme park industry. However, in recent years, the space has rarely been used. Its last major use was in 2011-2013, when the...

    Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon has announced that they're getting a Gerstlauer Eurofighter next year! Based on the stats they've given, it appears to be a clone of Hydrus at Casino Pier: But, they're letting the public name the coaster(oh what could possibly go wrong...)! Here's the...

    http://touringcentralflorida.com/2017/06/23/sandserpent-busch-gardens-tampa-enclosed/ Sounds like an interesting move. Although I am not a fan of the Dark Knight at various SF parks, I think something like this could be a very nice experience if done correctly.

    How would YOU deal with overcrowded parks?

    (idea taken from another forum) Let's say you're now the Head of Operations of any park you wish. You are confronted with a major problem: Your park is facing serious overcrowding issues. Dispatch times are constantly clocking over 3 minutes a train, lines are spilling into the midways, it's...

    Condor @ Walibi Holland gets new Front Rows

    Bit of an interesting move from a park- Walibi Holland has replaced the front rows on both of Condor's trains with two different types of cars. One has KumbaK seats, the other has Vekoma Vests. The rest of the rows are still going to have the horse collars. Here's a roughly translated Looopings...
