That's literally just their normal family coaster track but with wooden supports. Basically a mine train, so it's a steel hybrid.

Some new concept art showing off the new TSC-20A LSM launched coaster model from Golden Horse. Decent little layout and will be interested to see if this pops up anywhere.

You probably already know this… But I just spotted Lightning from Kuwait Entertainment City for sale on Interlink…
Only reason I mention it is because the have it listed as a ‘Travelling Model.’
Are all of these clones travelling models or just this one?

Kentucky Kingdom needs a B&M coaster!
Since their original new coaster plans to get a RMC Raptor and it was terminated, I think Kentucky Kingdom is required to have a B&M coaster after Chang ended up removed in 2009 and Herschend bought this park. I think Kentucky Kingdom will get a B&M Batman clone as T4, formerly named Lightning...
Kentucky Kingdom’s next coaster for the 2022 season
Since Herschend bought Kentucky Kingdom, the RMC Raptor project has been terminated for the 2021 season. Their new coaster plans will be delayed until the 2022 season.
B&M’s Next Coaster Model after Surfing Coaster Model
After B&M showed us the concept of their new Surfing Roller Coaster, I have an idea about which coaster model will B&M manufacture. Let me know about how does this next B&M coaster model works.
Enjoy that madness.

Still wondering why it’s listed as a ‘travelling model’ and whether all Batman clones are travelling models…
In hindsight, this is the wrong thread for questions like that, but in my defence, when I posted, I wasn’t aware it had been spoken about here so much before! Sawwy
I don't know the answer to this properly, but I'm not aware that B&M built any of the Batman clones to be portable. That said, any coaster is a travelling coaster if you rebuild the footers and have the right size socket wrench, right?

This was my line of thinking… Most of the clones are flat land / car park coasters right? So could they in theory be adapted to travel?I don't know the answer to this properly, but I'm not aware that B&M built any of the Batman clones to be portable. That said, any coaster is a travelling coaster if you rebuild the footers and have the right size socket wrench, right?
The problem I see is the supports… They’re gigantic. The amount of trucks needed to transport it would be beyond ridiculous… Surely?
Are interlink maybe just pushing their luck here and appealing to a broader audience, given they seem to have a lot of success selling coasters to the travelling circuit.
Or is it really plausible that this thing could travel?

This used to travel ; https://rcdb.com/17424.htm of course, but was (one hopes!) designed to do so, unlike a "proper" Batman.

Thanks, I know that one
the supports are more suited to travelling. Maybe the B&M could be adapted to use supports like that? I suppose that is a possibility.

He better not be with us or someone up top has made a horrible mistake.
In other news, someone who has been at Great Adventure (sorry, no photos and a private source) has spotted that Cyborg Cyber Spin's restraints have been removed. There is a rumor that it and Harley Quinn Spinsanity in Texas were failures for Six Flags and they are to be removed.

Has it been mentioned yet that it looks like the rapids at Alton could potentially be getting some TLC?
Alternatively it could just be for Lightopia, but there appears to be scaffolding around the waterfalls!!!

Apparently Merlin is poking their nose around and are looking to purchase existing theme parks should the opportunities present themselves; https://riderater.co.uk/9321/merlin-entertainments-looking-to-acquire-theme-parks/

Have to wonder if they start to poke around the US a little more. I would be at least intrigued by something like a Merlin owned Lake Winne.

I can't lie, I honestly wouldn't be opposed to Merlin purchasing either Flamingoland or LWV. Hopefully they would bring those parks to a respectable standard.

It was heavily rumoured after blackfish that they were interested in purchasing some of the Sea World parks. It's also not unheard of in the companies more recent history, with the purchase & re-development of Cypress Gardens into a Legoland. Considering the company is truly a global powerhouse, I'd be surprised if they're talking exclusively about the UK market here.
For a while it was suggested that Merlin saw their resorts more as burdens (with the exception of Legoland), as they managed to pick up a trend of cheaply developing their midway attractions, like the Dungeons, Madame Tussauds etc. Happy to hear if this era of their portfolio development is coming to an end, I hope this means they'll pay more care and attention to their existing portfolio in terms of longevity of investments and general upkeep and can carry that attitude on into any new investments they make (although I know that'll only happen when pigs start flying)...
