The possibility of Kingda Ka closing and the Top Thrill Dragster being redone into Top Thrill 2 which isn't going well right now is making me think whether Stealth at Thorpe Park and Rita at Alton Towers may close down completely or be converted into LSM coasters in a few years?
In the case of...
I'm quite sceptical about that, Kingda Ka is currently the world's tallest and fastest rollercoaster (2nd to Falcon's Flight) and that is a good selling point especially in North America.
It could happen with the Top Thrill 2 fiasco but if Kingda Ka is running without issues, I'd keep it going...
Hyperia, they're both really good coasters however Hyperia just beats it for me as it is a lot more forceful than Icon.
I do rate Icon very highly and say it's still a really good ride experience 😊
For me, they're similar in that they're very intense airtime beasts and are Macks.
They are also very different to one another so it's like comparing The Smiler with let's say Shambhala? Not quite the right comparison but both are very unique.
I slightly prefer Voltron as it is a complete...
I'm really impressed with the ride from watching the POV, especially the launch.
I can imagine this being the sort of thing Merlin would pick up a launched flume for one of their UK parks. I'd also be interested in seeing something similar with immersive theming too 🤩
Vampire I believe the park will do everything in their power to keep it going for as long as possible.
Tomb Blaster, I'd like to see it get the Curse at Alton Manor treatment at some point.
Tiger Rock, I'm hoping it keeps going for as long as possible. I think the loss of that will be massive...
Whilst a Gyro Swing of Cyclonator or Maelstrom's size would've been fantastic for Chessington, I think there were bigger priorities for the park such as replacement family coasters. I thought that could've been a ride they added to the World of Jumanji instead of Mamba Strike and/or Ostrich...
Impressive plans 👏👏👏
I'm genuinely curious on what will happen to the Dodgems and Monkey Swinger. I can imagine the Wave Swinger might get relocated to Thorpe Park as it would fit in there however not so sure on the Dodgems.
Iceland is another country that seems to have no theme parks at all. There are no entries in that country at all on RCDB.
I'd have thought there may be one park there.
There is definitely a gap there that needs addressing sooner than later
I'm hoping that this consultation would have at least one family coaster (hopefully two but let's not push it)
Even if it's one of those classic Zierer Force models ☺️
Mellors could've been fantastic for the park
They would've had a rotating line up of rides like at Fantasy Island however the decline you've seen wouldn't have happened.
We could've have had the Ultimate and Raptor Attack still here if it happened.
I totally agree that this place has a lot of potential however it was ruined by the previous ownership.
I feel that if Looping Group or another operator bought it out before the pandemic, the Ultimate would still be operating and possibly had a major refurbishment.
I'm hoping that the park...
