Day 4/5 Busch Gardens - even more lost counts? A friend who did a US trip last year, told me I should plan 2 days because the park was so beautiful to look at, so I did. This descision turned out to be a very good one, although for completely different reasons. The park offers some hotel...

Time to revive this thread, I finally got the dreaded "Q", and can also update the list accordingly - New entries/changes are marked in bold. A: Abyssus (Energylandia, Poland) B: Batman Gotham City Escape (Parque Warner Madrid, Spain) C: Colossos (Heidepark, Germany) D: DC Rivals HyperCoaster...

Totally agree with you on SFOG, the park looks way better than you expect. Ruined the other Six Flags (and Cedar Fair Parks) for me :)

Day 2/3, Carowinds - The Lost Counts continue Carowinds was one of the parks, that I was most curious about. I always felt like it was the second flagship park next to Cedar Point, and after being pleasantly suprised by Six Flags over Georgia, my expectations just rose. Since we had planned 2...

If they’re better than a thrill coaster… sure! Mine Train Ulven comes to mind, I’d rank this way higher than a lot of thrill coasters. I’d also rather ride a whacky worm, which is boring but doesn’t hurt than an SLC, Volare or Vekoma Boomerang.

After 5 years of delays due to Covid, my apartment getting flooded, moving in with my gf and of course having a major work project scheduled for right during the trip, I finally managed to do the trip of my lifetime. Originally intended to include 22 parks and 223 rollercoasters, we managed to...

After concluding my North American Mega Hyper Gigatrip, I can now finally announce that it happened. Hyperion was my 200th rollercoaster, and had the #1 spot since my first ride. Exactly 800 coasters later, it has finally been dethrowned. I'd love to go against the mainstream, but I...

Yes I did. We hit over 200 coasters on that trip, and I spend way too much time (and money) making sure that Steel Vengeance would be the #1000.

Holy smokes, I didn’t bother to update the list for 5 years. Time to update the list with my US-Gigatrip finally coming to a close. 100: Der Schwur des Kärnan (2017) 200: Hyperion (2018) 300: Helix (2019) 400: Zadra (2019) 500: Abyssus (2021) 600: Toutatis (2023) 700: Voltron (2024) 800...

Do you think it’s going to open today? I want the credit :cool:

I do agree that a ride if this scale will always have some issues. No manufacturer has enough experience with this size and speed to be able to build it in a way that they’ll run without issues. Pushing the limits does mean that you’re also pushing your own ones. Apparently it is already...

To be clear: I am not making fun of Zamperla because they where chosen over Intamin - but because they where chosen above anyone else. Zamperla fastet ride is 35m tall and their highest speed is 90 km/h. Mack, B&M, S&S, Vekoma, Premier, RMC, Intamin, they’ve all built higher and taller rides...

They’re sold out. That happened already after they reopened in 2022, and took about 6-9 months until they sold them again. That sales period went until ~Eastern this year, so quite long. There is a chance that they’re on sale again when you visit in September, but there is no guarantee. I do...

Not even a week before I go there. Maybe Zamperla wasn’t the best for the job? Nah, their sub-par Family coasters prove that they can do a 420ft ride.

It was yesterday as well, with the exception of 2 pieces of loop and a small piece of track from KdK. Unfortunately my car doesn’t have about space for any of those pieces, I would’ve loved to take care of them :-)
