Last week I visited Adventureland, in New York, for the first time (surprising, since I’ve lived nearby in NYC for decades). I enjoyed it. But I just couldn’t get over the weirdness of the admissions price structure. Adults over 25 years old are charged $32 USD. All visitors under 25 are...

I only just heard this a couple of days ago. I’m stunned. As has been mentioned, I hope it’s going to be a re-theme and re-opening. I am glad I got to visit. I thought the park was a lot of fun. The food was good, the many shows were what you’d expect from a Bollywood park, and some rides were...

Careful now. If you already find it pretty Zen to begin with, then having a Zen ride on it would mean risking becoming one with the universe.

Superman El Ultimo Escape — a gently undulating monorail with a lovely view. Many others seem to have ridden a coaster by the same name with amazing forces.

I didn’t know he was close to passing and I’ll admit this one made me cry. I loved him so much when he was at Chelsea. Only Zola in that era surpassed him for my love.

A long overdue follow-up. I went to a neurologist and had a bevy of tests with regard to my concussion. Keeping it short here I’ll just say that he stressed that if ever I again have a repeat of the concussed feeling I should give it a rest for a couple of weeks. But he wasn’t terribly concerned...

Ah, I see. As they say, I’m sorry for your loss. EDIT: Oh, and ignore the previous mention of cheese. It is true that I love a bit of cheese, but I only brought it up because I misread something in your post. 😝

I can’t chime in as to where the piece was found, but surely turning it in to park authorities — rather than keeping it as a souvenir — would have aided and maybe expedited the immediate investigation into what happened and why.

Apparently the drop equals Chiapas’ for steepness? I’m in! And looking forward to a flume launch for sure. Just wish it were longer.

Will do — can’t resist cheese. Wait, is something going on with Tyrolean Tubtwist as well? That and the Snails ride are also rides I’m really looking forward to. Don’t tell me …

At the risk of playing the martyr here, the combination of my really wanting to ride this weird coaster since it opened yet never getting the chance to yet finally planning a UK coaster trip for next summer — just may make me the most disappointed person on this forum for its closure. And now...

So you’re saying there’s still a chance?

Generous talk, but I’d bet you’d hold back on the swings.

I only just heard the news about The Ultimate by word of mouth last night (and can’t find a news thread showing the official announcement). I am devastated. It was by far the top bucket list coaster for me in the UK, and one of my top bucket list coasters in the world. I don’t care if it...

Fwiw, when I went they ran one train for the first half of the day and then two trains for the second half (which considerably shortened the line). The roughness for me was in the form of strong shuddering, and it was only on the last three or four elements, and it was not felt every ride. I...

I’m in the States, actually, but getting back to the Brussels area again in the future wouldn’t be a problem.

Yep, I’m spending my last day of the trip hanging out in Brussels and very much not going to Walibi Belgium as planned. It’s a bummer of an ending to the trip, but I’ll have to see about my head first and then hopefully still have the possibility of returning to WB in the future. Hopefully.

PLOPSALAND DE PANNE and BOUDEWIJN SEAPARK This will not be a typical park report. So I went to Plopsaland the day after Bellewaerde. I had heard the lines for the kiddie and family coasters get really long, and I even heard from one person who couldn’t complete all the creds because of...

800. The Ride to Happiness. Had to do nearly all the other coasters in the park first just to make this 800. :D

BELLEWAERDE Spent two-thirds of a day at the cute Belgian family park Bellewaerde. It’s a well-themed place with lots of shade and six credits (at least as coaster-count lists them). All of the coasters were enjoyable, but I didn’t feel compelled to re-ride any of them, which says...
