Furuvik is a small park a few hours drive north of Stockholm, mostly known for their recent perchance of the Schwarzkopf Jet Star 2 that was originally the Black hole at Alton Towers. Anyway enough of this about the park and onto the news: Yeah, the newspapers does everything to bash theme...

You can see them operate in the beginning of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_LQRIteFGg

^ Or cooling down the main LIM's between the launches, since the misters are only on between launches. Could be necessary when it's hot since it's a high capacity ride with many trains.

TTD have them to cool the cable, but that's not the same thing, but still is, and Drachen Fire had heaters so that the train wouldn't stall during the ride due to cool bearing/grease. So there are plenty of these things around so that the trains are able to get back into the station/reduce...

1. Most of the parks I have been to have had a free-for all policy (sure a separate front row queue, but that's pretty standard). There are a few exceptions though, a few rides that have a guy point you towards a row or in some cases where a specific number of people is let into the station each...

Re: Knoebels |"Flying Turns"| In house construction ^ When it's done.

After this article Liseberg have added a test-seat with belt to Balder :)

For everyone that want some more thrilling attraction then there is some good news coming: During a "Behind the Scene" tour I got as a birthday present the guide (The Electricians Supervisor) told us, while in the Lisebergbanan maintenance hall, that they want to do a complete overhaul of the...

My list should be something like: 1. Pyrenees =. Katun 2. Nemesis 3. Monster/Orochi 4. Diavlo 5. Black Mamba 6. Phaethon 7. Nemesis Inferno

Liseberg just posted an English version of the press release so now everyone here interested in the details can read it all: Liseberg plans biggest investment ever for kids in 2013

BUAHAHAHAHA :D I really had to search for this "news" before I found it on any news site in Swedish. But if it were about an emergency stop of some minor reason on any ride, then they are really quick to shout doom and death... Sorry in Sweden there are only posted length limits, since it...

Lotte is a massive company in Korea, they own loads of stores/buildings/attractions throughout the country. The whole mall/theme park complex and the 555 meter building that is being constructed next door are all Lotte. The indoor section of the park is located right on top of the mall, the...

I'm not sure that loads is the right word for it, I would rate the airtime on the bunny hops on SD2K about as same as what B&M produce on their mega-coasters. Sure you got a small pop of "ejector"-air over them but still no Intamin extreme ejector.

It feels like a 300 ft tall and extremely long family coaster. The high sides on the train surrounds you so much that the speed and height doesn't get to you compared to more open trains (B&Ms/Intamins). The ride is (was when I rode it) very smooth and gentle. No high forces and just gentle...

^ Speaking of the Mitch Hawker poll, have there even been a 2011 steel poll, or have I missed that one completely.

^ Yeah I know, I have been there several times before, bit then again we usually go earlier in the season and have never had any real problems with lines/kids, still thanks for the heads up.
