Outlaw Run immediately springs to mind. Perhaps it was @Ian's reaction to riding it when he claimed the coaster gets the most use out of every inch of track without dragging on.

Looks very much like a Walltopia RollGlider to me... but I've only seen one on the IAAPA Expo show floor.

Leisure Island amusement park plans to expand into a nearby neglected area after closing due to a fire last year. The city council has offered a two-year lease at a reasonable rate, facilitating the park's redevelopment efforts. Source

I'm glad to hear you got to ride it after it went down after just a half hour on Saturday. Good thing the park had a spare for the defective motor part that broke. Although the ride was closed most of the park's opening day, at least the problem wasn't due to any of last year's issues, which...

Looks like they're not so happy. In case you missed it, since no one seems to be commenting... 👋 Wonder how long before they remove the three already installed?

So true. 😆 It's great seeing these small parks that pretty much can't be seen anywhere other than your trip reports. Do you know the names of those glass waterslide things or what they're called? Or the name of the log flume thing at Jianghui Amusement Park? RCDB doesn't have links to their...

That's been going on for the past three off-seasons, but I hope Palace continues the work on WildCat and the titan track on Boulder Dash that Reunidos started.

An artist friend I worked with in the '80s recently had a show in New York, and I saw a photo she took years ago of 'Coney Island from the subway' on display. I asked her if she had any others and if I could post them here. She's very wary of someone using her photos, so she's never posted them...

Hofis Erlebnispark, a new amusement park inspired by Karls Erlebnis Dorf, is expected to open next year at the former site of Western-City Dasing near Augsburg, Germany (my hometown). The future operator, Thomas Hofreiter, plans for 30 attractions, including three family coasters, an observation...

Here's the off-ride.

The new “Blinky Bill Zone” adventure area dedicated to the Australian koala bear opening in April is part of the planned park expansion through 2028. In addition, new indoor attractions are being created, including a theatre game around the cartoon character Biene Maja, as well as a Smurf...

Before anyone asks, Lex Luther: Drop of Doom will remain in operation. No biggie to me since Lex is still operational. I've skipped riding the coaster on all my visits after I rode it when it changed in 2010.

The article I read is local to Dallas, but I also assume it's because the chain's headquarters is located there. The park's also imposing the 15-and-under chaperone policy year round, after a successful tryout during last year's Frightfest. However, I think I remember reading somewhere that the...
