ABC do some pretty nifty drops, Fabbri do some nice family drop rides too. SBF.... Not so much.

The park takes this much time to create real nice theming for them only to deliver some crappy SBF hardware. Brilliant..

This is great! Would love to see a behind-the-scenes type footage of you actually building some pieces.

Thats some mashup looking support structure on the Cobra Roll..

Attractions.io are good lads. Small firm up north, but super solid team. I know a couple people up there, so if I get any tidbits, I'll report back if I'm allowed.

Europa press release sent to me via email says it'll be open May 18th with a "step-by-step opening of hotel gastronomy" May 29th will see the full reopening of Europa Park, the hotels and camp resort.

Just placing this small bit of news here. https://www.standard.co.uk/business/britains-answer-to-disneyland-has-chalked-up-55-million-in-losses-a4327326.html

Billy big balls piping up here.. I think the obvious park would be Thorpe Park, but considering Merlin's just had a buyout, who know if they're even going to keep their parks?

Oh shut up Merlin... First you want to turn Chessington into a safari branded park, and now you want pop-culture stories? Go away management, you're drunk.

I feel like Tayto Park's new coaster could definitely feature the dreaded 'fell-swoop' inversion. 100%

The Walking X. I like it.

And to think this thing cost over 35 million quid to build and Derren Brown cost something similar and yet look how big of a flop that was... Just goes to show what you can really do if you have the right team together.

In the UK, ADIPS (being the strictest regulators) require park and fair operators to pass their weld joints through UV detection. A reactive spray is applied on welds or high stress points and the tests are carried out. Similar methods are required by TUV, who govern the rest of Europe.

I'm a complete basic douche, so yay me for getting to ride it a good few times without much effort!

Technically, Vekoma are one of the most robust and flexible manufacturers of coasters. Who knows what happened with JO It was most likely presented to many manufacturers and most said no and Vekoma just happened to deliver what the park wanted? I personally think it's a case of who could deliver.
