    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Reverse ATMs are a great idea. I hope that they keep up with the expense of providing such a system.

    Walibi Holland | YoY | RMC Raptor | 2025

    I definitely agree with the festival aura. We visited WH during their fright night event, which is split between scare zones and EDM stages. The atmosphere was absolutely stellar, and it felt easier to enjoy the park when each area or ride isn't screaming for your undivided attention whenever...

    Wiener Prater | Wiener Looping | Mack BigDipper Coaster | 2025

    I hope that this coexists with the Stryker in a similar manner to the Eurofighter and Infinity. This layout looks fantastic and I hope it opens the door to more creative, ultra-compact layouts that seem* to benefit the tight turning radii of the big dipper trains. *I have no clue how the BD and...

    Six Flags Magic Mountain | Unknown | Vekoma Thrill Glider | 2026

    I had really hoped from the first drawing that they would be getting a double-launched terrain STC. Though, it's a wacky concept so it'll be nice to see how it plays out.

    Why do enthusiasts suddenly love an attraction once it's closure was announced?

    I know that the coaster enthusiast community isn't the largest out there. But isn't it more likely that the people who lament a ride's closing are not the same people who hated it actively and are glad it's going? For example, if Grand National closed, I'd be mortified for both the historical...

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    If Universal GB actually covers to fruition. It would deliver now than this could've ever promised. However, it's very sad that the concept, despite never being even slightly fleshed out, was never delivered. As the idea of a giant theme park complex so close to the hub of the country would have...

    Alton Towers | Toxicator | Huss Top Spin | 2025

    I don't think removing the Dungeons would do much to hurt the overall park. An upcharge wouldn't add much to the overall capacity of the park, and it's much harder to justify the additional expenses if it can't even break even. Flavios was a temporary ride anyway, even if it always seemed to...

    Rank the Intamin Launch Coasters

    Based on my recent and distant memories of riding them 1) Top Thrill Dragster (RIP) - Sensational in every aspect: One of the best launches, amazing tophat, tiny lapbars, iconic presentation. Riding this at 11:30pm in the front row has been the highlight of my enthusiast life. 2) Maverick - An...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    I stand corrected, confused, and incredibly disappointed.

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    As someone with a whopping zero years of business experience informing my opinion. Even if the $1m a year is true, I don't get how the combine value to the park of having the tallest rollercoaster in the world, formerly the fastest (which people will remember and still associate with the ride)...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    Markers are always ripe for speculation as SOMETHING is happening in the area, regardless of the size. It'd be horrible news if KK were to go, as well as GL. But, other than hearsay suggestions from YouTubers and a screenshot of an apparent article on six flags website, I haven't seen anything...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Awesome! I've hoped that they would do this for years. A dedicated stage for the standard special events would be excellent, but hosting gigs could be a HUGE draw for the park given it's location. Though I agree, I wish they could have at least widened the path towards storm surge as part of...

    Cruises Lines | Maurer Spike Coasters | Carnival Cruise Line & Disney Cruise Line | 2025-2035

    That looks so tacky. Also, HOW are Maurer Selling so many of these? This will be the 7th one sold (one of which being the dueling desmo race) as far as I am aware. Skyline could do with head-hunting some of Maurers marketing team.

    Where will the next new-gen Vekoma Flyer go?

    UGB opens a Jurassic flyer -> Galactica closes due to redundancy/popularity drop -> AT builds a trench-diving Axis in its place. And the world will live as one.

    Dragon Khan's support connectors?

    Hi all, I am currently live on the scene at PA with a question: Does anyone know why Dragon Khan has such narrow support connectors? It seems to be only for the strictly vertical supporting connectors, as the side-mounted connectors, and some of the laterally braced vertical supports have the...
