I wonder how many accidents we have to experience that revolve around ride operators overriding a safety warning before parks start to take it seriously and only allow technical services to override such warnings.

Forked out to go to IOA twice, both times VelociCoaster was down all day. I think I’ve given up for the time being!

They are brand new boats from Intamin. The same as the ones on Infinity Falls.

I’ll have to credit a post I read on the TowersStreet forum here, but it does seem that that final helix that will be taken both forwards and backwards is banked at an extreme angle that seems to me like it would be highly uncomfortable with static seats at such a low speed. Could we have some...

Without giving encouragement to the excessive posting, I feel there is a fair argument that 2021 annual passes were advertised to give access to Iron Gwazi from the spring. That’s certainly why I bought mine and it’s not long off expiry now. Does leave a sour taste.

Would love if Pleasure Beach decided to go beat their own record for the UK’s tallest coaster, which the taller model would be. Likely affordable too.

I’d imagine it’s probably more to do with technical adjustments due to the 10 car trains more than anything else.

It looks fine. It’s a kids ride, none of us are kids and we aren’t supposed to get excited about it. At the end of the day it’s a new dark ride in a location that has never previously housed a ride, so it’s not like they ripped anything of worth out to fit it in. I think it’ll probably be...

There would not need to be a public consultation of this nature if the development was so small, this will be something of sizeable scale.

Smart move, was probably the only part of the ride vulnerable to stalling. Now it can probably be run in higher wind speeds than before.

Okay, so some new Thorpe Park news has surfaced, potentially exciting but maybe not, we don’t know at this point. Thanks to JoshC on another forum (Thorpe Park Mania) for some of this information. Back in 2017, the park submitted an application to the local planning authority that would dictate...

The original reason given for comfort collars was to make people feel more secure going upside down. So, what’s the point here? It seems a bit silly to be honest.

To be fair, none of the other majors have millions in monthly expenses to maintain the welfare of tens of thousands of animals, which does put SeaWorld in a bit of a unique situation. Although yes, it must be hard for contractors.

To ensure that they do have enough cash to last them through this crisis?

SeaWorld have already spent $4m, probably more, on this project. Delay is probable, cancellation is unlikely.

^I have no idea, I'd be interested to know though.

I have only ridden one, however I did ride it multiple times in different seats to give it a chance, but I just did not enjoy it at all. I found it slow, boring and lacking in any force. I'll ride another with an open mind one day though .

Free spins are rubbish though, no good adding a new ride if it's boring, no matter how cheap.

Similar story in Tampa apparently.

Tried my first one of these at Great Adventure last winter, thought it was a bit rubbish to be honest so I'm not overly excited about this.
