Let's just say that TusenFryd isn't particularly good at coordinating their announcements. It's completely in character for them to release concept art showing the name, then pretend the name wasn't revealed for months after that, then make a huge fuss out of announcing the name at a later date.

If anything, this is subtle compared to previous stuff they've had in their parks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_former_Disneyland_attractions#Tomorrowland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto_House_of_the_Future

Italian Double Loop Coaster, located at Ajwa Fun World and Resort in India. It's not Italian, and it doesn't have any loops. https://rcdb.com/1564.htm

At that size, you could probably smuggle him along in your breast pocket, and the ride ops would be unlikely to notice anything.

That's an impressive jaw line.

So ... stick thread, then?

Superman Escape straddles the line between airtime hill and top hat, I think: https://rcdb.com/2999.htm#p=16316

I hereby pull out the pin that sticks this thread to the top category of the subforum.

I decided to split the posts about a new coaster into a different thread. The event that initiated the process of replacing Cobra was a tragedy, and I feel that discussing the new attraction in the same thread that discussed the accident wouldn't be right. There's something that feels...

I, on the other hand, am quite surprised it lasted as long as it did. Never heard anything good about it, no matter the angle of approach. It sounded like a quite mediocre ride that cost the park a fortune and was a hassle and a half to operate.

This surely must have been one of the last coasters to open in 2022. I was initially concerned the thread title would be inaccurate, but no: the coaster opened on December 22: www.facebook.com/gumbuyaworld/posts/pfbid0aKszVH1cmo68oeEbGuWKDZ1VJedYkz9YVb5tfuJQASQqkHzCKEH4CPE3TaYWQMuWl

- Coaster count at start of 2022: 43, I think? - Coaster count at end of 2022: If the above is correct, then 44. - New coasters ridden in 2022: One. - New parks visited in 2022: Zero. - Park visits (number of days) in 2022: Two. - Best new-to-you coaster: HuriHuri, by default. - Best...

It's being worked on! I just had a supremely busy November and December last year, so the results will be out in January instead.

Sounds like the type of offer they'd put out, confident that no park that actually has a 400 ft. coaster would ever take them up on it.

Any guesses as to how long it will stay open? I'm half tempted to suggest it will be SBNO from March or so.

Not that different from Boomerang coasters having a lift on their second spike, though.

How does their claim of having the world's first single rail racing coaster stack up to Desmo Race? Granted, that abomination rarely works as it should, and even when it does it's a bit crap, but it races and has only one rail.

It looks phenomenal. Gotta wonder how Disney plans to respond to this too, by the way.

Now we've got an alt-account signup hanging in the moderation queue, though. Wonder if Nicky will be banned again if I clean that one up. Eh, I'll continue ignoring it in the hope that Hixee will fix it.

On the contrary, I'd say a launch coaster would be a good fit. In particular, a swing launch. Those take up less space than lift hills, after all, and can bring the train up to much higher speeds. Apart from the initial launch spike, the coaster doesn't even have to be tall. Look to Ice Breaker...
