    Icon Park - Drop Tower Accident 24/03/2022

    I think the discussion here about rider sizes is missing the point. The manufacturer designs the ride to accommodate a certain specification of rider (min/max height, weight, type of rider e.g. disabilities/pregnant/health conditions, age etc).

    Efteling | Baron 1898 | B&M Dive Coaster

    Has the park said if there will be any theming on the train? Would be a shame for them to be generic B&M trains after all the efforts they are making with the station building and lift supports. Although I suppose it's probably quite difficult to theme floorless dive coaster shuttles as there...

    Lagoon | Cannibal | "In House" Coaster

    Looks like something you would build in RCT. Will either be amazing or awful. At least it won't be average...

    Holiday World | Thunderbird | Launched B&M Wing Coaster

    Really weird seeing a B&M with a launch track.
