    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    And Zamperla, here we go... Crack in the WHEEL, like the steel frame? Or crack in the polyurethane coating that rides the rails? Very big difference between the two. If it's the wheel, this could be down for much much longer as they might need to design/manufacture new wheels for all the...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    Just read about the 2024 closure...honestly unfortunate, can't understand how a coaster with a relatively basic concept can have such a terrible operating track record. *Sees coaster was manufactured by S&S to save some $$$* Well, duhhh, what did you think was going to happen? Blows my mind...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    Hey, thanks for sharing. Really appreciated the in-depth, cut-to-the-chase review. Not surprised about the roughness of the ride...you can just see it from the off ride videos. Really wish that was something they would have considered in designing the trains...especially considering it's all...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Really? Because from what I remember Cheetah Hunt's only inversion was so quick that it barely felt like an inversion to me at all, but I only rode it once...after a couple beers lol Hangtime, IMO, is more like where literally the only thing keeping you there is the restraint, like a sustained...

    Six Flags Great Adventure | Flash: Vertical Velocity | Vekoma Super Boomerang | 2024

    Honestly, now that it's Vertical, I would bet they have the full circuit put together in a couple weeks. The coaster is pretty compact and not too complicated. So being opened sometime in July, I would say Friday July 11th, isn't completely out of the realm of possibilty... Yes, I know it's...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    1st off, I thought the initial accident was caused by a piece of THE RIDE that flew off the freaking train...NOT something that flew out of a guests pocket...so after years of the ride operating with, apparently, not an issue with guests putting their crap away responsibly...why are they...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    I hate that blank ugly wall between the loading dock and the launch track, because now you can't see riders get on the train. Why couldn't they make it a chain link fence or something see through? Watching guests anticipation while strapping into the ride was great to see from the midway...

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Honestly, although a good majority of us will probably never ride this, I think we'd all prefer if it didn't have the tunnel.

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    Not sure if this belongs here...but Cedar Fair has finally reached a settlement with the lady who got hit by the piece that flew off the train. Seems like they are happy with what they received. Considering costs at $10 Mill for the rest of her life, I would assume Cedar Fair went above that...

    That last photo of the train undercarriage is some filthy roller coaster porn if I've ever seen it.

    I laughed out loud for at least 10 straight seconds... ...how could CP let this happen hahahaha

    Dorney Park | Iron Menace | B&M Dive Machine | 2024

    Ride looks great, I know it's off for testing...but I wish they'd run all dive coasters without the holding brake! I feel like this ride could have really benefitted from both a tunnel at the bottom of the first drop, and an airtime hill before hitting the brakes. But still, a lot going on in...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    I definitely noticed this before, you can see it during the off ride footage. Certainly a bit of a "shuffle" left and right similar to, dare I say, Kingda Ka? Especially on the final forward launch. I really wonder if the trains being more "top heavy" due to the design of the trains and...

    Oh thank God. But I'll admit, you got me 😆 Well done.
