    Warner Bros Movie World | Various New Vekomas & relocated Intamin | 2024

    Could be a fun addition to the park. If the suspended coaster is going to happen then It makes sense if it is going to be the suspended thrill coaster. A nice step forward to replace the existing ride with the new generation version. Also, a suspended family coaster would make it the third...

    Will VelociCoaster push Disney to build more thrilling rides?

    The attention to detail of the Disney parks is epic but their vision is really targeted towards kids. Disney's theming does not leave much space for your own imagination and giving kids the experience to meet their favorite fictional characters is the biggest part of the experience. So building...

    Uniqueness; how important is it?

    In the words of Golden Horse: "There's nothing wrong with copying if the execution is better..." uh, wait... nevermind.

    Vekoma testing something new ? (at their testing facility)

    Oh sorry I thought you made it with NL2. So thankyou for the update. By the way, didn't say this yet but nice work. Also a nice topic to follow. Very interested in this project.

    Vekoma testing something new ? (at their testing facility)

    I guess you used the classic track style because that's the track you have in NL2? They are probably going the use the new track but I think this coaster type looks cool with this big industrial looking tower and the old track style. Looks intimidating.

    Parks you can't be arsed with

    I started to interest me more in coasters and theme parks in the last couple of years so I have not visited a huge amount of parks. The biggest parks I visited so far (next to a bigger amount of smaller parks) are Efteling, Walibi Holland, Disneyland Paris (in 2004) and Gardaland. And to be...

    New coaster concepts that you think would be cool

    Wooden inverts? With the development of new track styles (like RMC) I can see it happen one day.

    Visited Gardaland last saturday. I was positively surprised and really enjoyed the theming and landscaping of the park! Wasn't really my day though... it was way too crowded for me, and having virtual cues (probably as a corona measure) didn't work at all at a day crowded as this. I only did 4...

    Gardaland Retracking Shaman

    I rode it yesterday. I only rode Python before retracking and I expected a smooth ride, but I also have the feeling it was only a retrack, not a full rework. For the big part it was smooth but there were two rougher moments. The most notable just before entering the helix where there was a very...

    Gyeongju World | Valkyrie | Gerstlauer Family Boomerang | 2021

    These things look like boomerangs with an identity crisis

    Spike/switch-track coasters

    Sounds like a logical explanation. Though it might be the case that this practical choice became a style choice now. Thanks

    Spike/switch-track coasters

    Sorry if there already is a post thread on this topic, I might have missed it because I am not on this forum for a long time already and also not active on daily base. But there's something I have been thinking about lately and started to think about again after seeing the construction update on...

    Too tall to ride?

    For the good order, I take measures in case of safety serious. That's also the reason why I've send Gardaland an email. If they have something interesting to say about it I am willing to share their response.

    Too tall to ride?

    Thanks for all the replies! I've send Gardaland an email so I am curious what they are going to say. I think there are three B&M's within a 300km or 190 miles radius from where I live, if I'm right. Two of them, Black Mamba at Phantasialand and Fenix at Toverland, have a height restriction of...

    Too tall to ride?

    Thanks, that's kind of what I thought about too. For a wing coaster I can imagine it can be dangerous in situations of near-misses. But I guess on dive coasters the height of the seat and and the size of the train fully surrounds you, so it's possibly more about the restraints.

    Too tall to ride?

    Surely I don't try to mess with the safety rules too much!... though it seems like it often has to do with the restraints more instead of seating height above the ground(!?)

    Too tall to ride?

    Hi all! For me there seems to be a curse on riding B&M coasters. I am from the Netherlands and for a long time the Netherlands had no B&M coasters build. Now there are two but it's still a huge question if I will be able to ride one soon. I have been unlucky before because of a ride closing but...

    CoasterForce’s Favourite Dutch Rollercoasters

    I've visited the biggest Dutch parks multiple times, but not in recent years so I missed out on the newer generation of rides like Untamed, Fenix (which I will never be able to ride because I am too tall) and Baron (wanted to ride in 2019 but closed down because of a storm when I was standing...

    First post! I have always had an interest for rollercoasters. But with a lot more interests and hobby's, and no friends with the same interest in rollercoasters, I have not ridden a lot of them in the last couple of years. The only creds I have in the last 5 or 6 years are a Vekoma family...
