Will be curious to see how it affects the rest of the course given the reports of Wolverine Wildcat and Predator running faster after their respective retrack. Some of the later hills could be amazing if taken with a bit more speed.

making the disko be a brontosaurus is very clever

Someone must have done that on NE by now surely?

If not I look forwards to seeing you do it in the next H2H

I am really liking the Disko-saurus design. Very clever.

After months of everyone assuming it was dead, it would appear that Enterprise at Alton Towers may have life in it yet, as they could possibly be putting it back together according to recent drone photos: https://www.instagram.com/p/ClzELOq...d&ig_mid=9DDE75A5-9E50-4776-A11D-0836D137E8F1
Intriguing… Enterprise’s resurgence was expected by few, but the prospect now doesn’t seem that far-fetched given that photo!

Sequoia Magic Loop at Gardaland will soon be no more. After going SBNO in 2021, the park has now filed a permit to demolish the ride. That leaves Man-O-War at Mysterious Island in China as the last remaining S&S Screaming Squirrel.

Gardaland vraagt sloopvergunning aan voor achtbaan Sequoia Magic Loop

Het Italiaanse pretpark Gardaland heeft de knoop doorgehakt: achtbaan Sequoia Magic Loop wordt afgebroken. Dit jaar bleef de rollercoaster al dicht....

They have also done a video for their new model.

And apparently they have sold two of their dueling model of family coaster, wonder where they will end up.

Skyline had a rough start but i hope they find success and these new models are great rides.

call me crazy but dont those trains/cars look like millennium flyers?

I'd say more like Infinity Flyers, but yes. Skyline does all of the design and engineering for GCI including the design of the Infinity Flyers, so it's not surprising that there are similarities between those and the Trailblazer trains.

So apparently Raik wasn't the only Vekoma coaster to valley yesterday, as Booster Bike at Toverland met with a similar fate. Given Toverland's relative proximity to Phantasialand (less than 100 kilometers), similar temperature conditions caused the train to stall before the final set of hills. Toverland is only open on weekends during the winter, and the stalled train is said to be in the process of being towed back to the station, so it should be operating again this coming Saturday.

Toverland seems to be doing everything in their power to prevent the valleying from happening again and keep their coasters operational despite the cold, as the park has purchased mobile heating units to warm up the trains on both Booster Bike and D’wervelwind before they’re put in use:

Toverland zet mobiele verwarming in om achtbanen op te warmen

Toverland doet er alles aan om buitenattracties ook bij lage temperaturen te kunnen draaien. Bij twee achtbanen wordt dit winterseizoen gebruikgemaakt van een speciale mobiele verwarming. De treinen van lanceerachtbaan Booster Bike en spinning...

The big sticker saying "RENTAL" suggests they have not been actually purchased!

Jinma Rides new LSM coaster going to Sanya Silk Road Happy World has begun testing. I'm very interested to see a POV of the coaster, it looks like an all right layout with the Intamin-ish trains and B&M-ish track It should be a decent ride.

I actually was going to say they were rented but for some reason I wrote purchased. I blame me having a cold.

I mean it's in a park that held a Harry Potter event in their Hobbit village.

Part of a coaster train was spotted outside of Zamperla (Boonton, New Jersey location) and it may look a little awkward. This the exact train Zamperla revealed at IAAPA 2019. But they removed the 4 across and changed it to 2 seats per row.
