I’m all in for dark humour, but this level of macabre is too much, even for me. I guess the intern has gotten some time to reflect.

The Figure 8 Intamin Accelerators are a good candidate for me, especially Superman in Australia. Wodan also packs a lot into a Short duration. When it comes to fun per m of track, Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loops would like a word.

I figured it might be good to simply ask, and their support was really quick: Tl:dr: it doesn’t matter where you use it first Thank you for contacting Canada’s Wonderland. If you purchase a 2025 Gold or Prestige Pass with the 2025 All-Parks Passport Gold or Prestige Add-On, your first visit...

Yeah, so the title explains most of it. My US trip 2024 had to be postponed (yet again) but is now finally taking place. To save some money, I would get myself a Canadas Wonderlans Season Pass instead of e.g. a Cedar Point one, which shouldn't be an issue with it being app based. However, do I...

Since Phantasialand started to be a discount park, it is a very good candidate. Getting into the park for >30€ is tough to beat. Europa-Park is always in the raffle due to the sheer amount of experiences on offer.

The Versa-Bart has some issues with lap bars, its legs are very thick. Many coasters won't allow a dispatch because the restraint isn't closed enough, some won't even close at all. With B&M clamshells, the restraint isn't even able to get into the first ratchet. Trust me, we tried :-)

Most test-dummies seem to be somewhat manufacturer specific, and I believe those are as well. Afaik, there are only 2 manufacturers that really sell those dummies outside the industry, those being Testmankeni and Roto Power. Do you want to use them, or just have one for your collection...

Are they f*#!> serious? My bucket list consisted of 4 coasters. Formula Rossa - been there, done that Kingda Ka - closed for good in the year that I had to postpone the trip due to work Do-Dodonpa - confirmed to be torn down a few weeks before my trip to Japan I305 - Opening delayed until...

I was (un) fortunate enough to get a ride on it, and I'd say it is a disgrace for the park. The overall queue-time (we started a few metres before the van that marks the real entrance) was about 75 minutes. Well, it is the new attraction, heavily promoted, just opened and might have some...

Funnily enough, Jetline is still listed on the website. It’s marked as closed, but wouldn’t you remove a ride that’s due to be torn down? Maybe they’re waiting for the plans for a replacement to be finalised, before tearing it down?

Australia as a whole isn't known for it's stellar operations. At least you got 2 trains, when I visited in October, DC Rivals ran 1 train with a 30 minute queue. But considering that, their ops were mostly reasonable, albeit on the slower side.

I haven't yet had the honour of experiencing chinese dispatches, but I am not looking forward to them. The only park outside of Disney had a walk-on queue on their count, so no troubles there.

Which shouldn't be something to write home about... Theoretical capacities: Wicker Man: 952 pph Th13teen: 1,400pph* Nemesis: 1,400pph* Galactica: 1,500pph* Oblivion: 1,700pph* Smiler: 1,200pph *official number published by the Park While exceeding theoretical capacity on Wicker Man is great...

Expedition GeForce was long advertised as the world's steepest drop while twisting 72°. No joke, they just recently stopped claiming this "record". Taron was always advertised as the world's longest Multilaunchcoaster of it's kind (meaning no inversions).

Looks very legal. I was able to do this one in October 24 after deciding if we should spend the money for the park or not. The coaster is in my opinion the worst GCI I've ever done, even dethroning Joris en de Draak. The Drop and double up are both good, but afterwards it is just there and...
