I guess my main takeway is damn is it moving hella fast through those darkride sections. Not sure how much of your surroundings you’re going to be able to take in considering how it flies past some of those scenes.

The official name for the coaster is "Movie Park Studio Tour" and the park has confirmed it'll soft-open this coming Wednesday, June 23rd.

If it’s $10 million for Thunderbolt at Luna Park specifically and not the price for an off the shelf clone, then R&D costs could be included with it being the first of its kind.

Wild Eagle was also evacuated after a sudden jolt a few days ago and Thunderbird has apparently been down for days. Not a good time for U.S wing coasters.

Sounds like the famous Schwarzkopf "Wiener Looping" (aka "Bullet") shuttle coaster is leaving Mexico and returning to Europe. https://rcdb.com/19395.htm

Also confirmed that the park will re-open on Friday (which I swear looking at the website wasn't the case just two days ago, but whatever)

I think it was said a while ago they were aiming for July 1st after Covid delayed it from a spring opening, but all info released recently has just said ”summer”.

Some positive developments in Germany: As of May 31st, Heide-Park stopped requiring test results before entry. Hotel guests may still need to present test results or proof of vaccination, however. https://www.heide-park.de/en/ Hansa-Park, which will open on June 18th, will also not require a...

After a year and a half of being closed, Swedish parks are finally back in action. Gröna Lund opens today, Liseberg tomorrow, Wildfire and the other rides at Kolmården are already back to operating full time, etc. Skara Sommarland opens on Saturday with Snake, the relocated flat ride from Gröna...

They were barred from IAAPA 2012 for infringing on Zamperla’s trademarks, but they’ve been back in recent years. Coaster Studios even interviewed a representative on the expo floor in 2018.

This is news to me (all I know is that they tried to ship Tsunami/Thriller from Mexico but it was too expensive to bring it up to modern safety standards). What’s the story behind this one?

I can already tell that station building is going to be gorgeous. Please be open by July 1st...

All I remember about Wild Arctic was that me and my brother went for the stationary version just because the 'simulator' side had a line and we just wanted to see the polar bears before we had to leave the park (our parents were waiting for us by the entrance), and that lead to us sitting on a...

Balder at Liseberg comes to mind for me. Excellent during the day, but my 10 P.M marathon on an early May night in 2016 was an unforgettable experience, topped off with a last few rides on Helix a half-hour later which in itself was a different beast at night.

Phantasialand and Hansa Park seem to be cleared for a June 10th and June 18th reopening respectively. Proof of vaccination/negative test result and mandatory masks in all areas seems to be in store for at least the former...
