One of my college friends got married this past weekend in southeastern Pennsylvania. The ceremony and reception took place on Friday, which conveniently freed up the rest of the weekend to swing by one of the local parks before driving back to Boston. Originally, I was more than happy to just...

Yeah unfortunately I never got to SFMM in time enough to ride Revolution before they renamed it to New Revolution. Missed out on that bonus +1!

Ahh so THAT'S how we argue how this is a new cred.

Did you not try out the Flyers at Knoebels? That **** is absolutely insane.

2024 has ironically become the year of the refurb: TTD, LR, Nemesis, Fire in the Hole, Shockwave, Loch Ness Monster, and whatever the name of that other Intamin launch is.

Date = August 16th 2023 Park = Six Flags New England Roller Coasters Batman: The Dark Knight x1 (back) Superman: The Ride x3 Wicked Cyclone x3 Points added = 66

Somehow the 5 train ops on TTD worked as you'd have two in the station, two on the launch track (one sitting still behind the one actually being launched), and one unloading separately on the final turn. Stacking trains early as opposed to on the brake run actually wasn't a problem, especially...

Good work on collecting those lesser-known parks/creds. Being on the eastern side of Germany & Poland, that area seems like a bit of a lull that makes it tough to tie in with other parks on the western side. Sounds like a pretty solid long weekend to clump those together! Looking forward to...

I mean, we can't be THAT impressed by it if they still manage to achieve it right? Opening a kiddie coaster once all the kids are back in school? Come on. 🤣

When the train exits the station and goes through the switch track, the next train will be in the station by then. Third train, which would have previously cleared the top hat would be sitting on the brake run.

Surprised you didn't sneak down for another visit to your beloved Liseberg! Been hearing some really good things about the new Gerstlauer though. I was very skeptical of it during construction, and still concerned about the shuffling, but it sounds like it actually does some pretty cool and...

I wonder if they'll also use this time to replace the remainder of the wooden track with the ibox.

They look quite s*** honestly, especially just sitting on slabs of concrete... guess it fits with the aesthetic of the park lol. However I do like how these are some cheeky +2s, and shouldn't be too much of a hassle to grab as the dual loading should ease up the queue.

Kinda looks like some shoddy AI put together the rendering of the SLC...

Also I believe the Florida market is pretty tight right now. Disney seems to have Vekoma covered and Intamin (and I guess Mack) has been busy with Universal. Both those would've been fine choices for a family launcher or an Ice Breaker alternative.
