The park that I have gone the longest without ever revisiting is Holiday World in Gran Canaria. I remember going there with my parents the first time we went to Canary Islands in February 2006, riding their Zyklone style coaster and the stand-up Pirate Ship. The old coaster has since been...

As far as I understand it, they're building the new ride at a different part of the park compared to the old one that is still operating in 2023. If this isn't a new cred, then I'm not sure what is.

I'd add The Prestige to the good list, but generally I agree with you here. The Prestige is likely one of his very few movies (aside from the Dark Knight trilogy) that actually had a gripping storyline rather than just toying with some ideas and shoving the characters and the story aside.

Unless you're a cred whore like me and are told that the Zierer kiddie in the front was only closed due to rain in the morning and you keep going back and forth between Wildfire and that, just to never see it reopen during the day. 😅

@Pokemaniac and @Hixee, what's up with all of these new accounts posting in this particular topic (that otherwise hasn't been active in 12 years) and nowhere else on the forums?

They are already cheap as crisp from continental Europe. I'm currently seeing Wizz Air from Venice and Vienna going for as low as €40 return, which is frankly absurd for 6 hour long flights.

Same here in Slovenia, every household has to pay a national broadcaster fee that amounts to 153€ a year. And while back in the day that meant that you could easily avoid it by saying you have no TV or radio (if you only had radio it's a bit cheaper), nowadays any household with a smartphone or...

Saudi Arabia is 4th on the Global Slavery Index list compiled by the Walk Free foundation. https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/ Give me some reputable source that shows migrant workers are treated any better in Saudi Arabia compared to the other ME countrues, because the fact that a...

A big difference might be that you can't (at least not as easily) use slave workers in Iowa compared to Saudi Arabia.

Here's a higher quality video that might be a bit easier to access for those that don't have Instagram.

Yeah, it's a bit of a worry, especially in the countries that don't have the best data available when it comes to funfair rides. For example, German rides are easy to track, especially if you have Coaster-count total, while Spanish and Italian fairs can be a right pain. Names of showmen are...

Either this is just PR talk for Liseberg to shut down the criticism or this could be something they ought to be sharing with other operators in Europe (and across the world, but I would imagine communication channels within the EU to be a bit more accessible) that are still running the old...

Lovely report. Cavallino Matto looks great and is one of the parks that's certainly on my to do list, as it's within what you could consider driving distance from me. I'm surprised to hear that none of the Italian shops had Pocket Coffees on offer, they're pretty common to find here in Slovenia...

It appears that the wheel assembly fell off the lead car, but the train is still more or less on the track, so I assume that the seriously injured (and sadly the victim as well) fell out of the train.

For me it was the recently lost Alpenexpress Enzian, my 11th coaster when I was 10. The tying cred already happened with a random spinning mouse coaster at a local fair when I was 7, but then I ended up moving at a one-new-coaster-a-year pace until I was 10. Technically Leprotto Express, Roller...

Barring some possible miscounts, I've been upside down on various coasters exactly 1001 times. If it wasn't for a spontaneous last minute visit to BonBon Land last October, this would've been a surprisingly nice and rounded number. Looks like my last ride through Daemonen's Zero G-Roll was my...

Well, I'm surprised, since I can remember this being sold for scrap a few years ago. Also, I wonder in what sort of condition the track is after sitting in the hot Vegas sun for more than a decade.

Nice report, Josh! I went to the Copenhagen parks last October and both Tornado and Tivoli's Rutschebahnen were down for maintenance. Hearing they're **** and somewhat underwhelming respectively manages to soften the blow a bit, hah.

Tsk tsk tsk, bad goons. I can see why CF Lives fizzled out in the recent years, if they were putting people in a position where they had to miss out on creds. ;) I'm not being too serious here. But yeah, I'd likely try and grab something like Stampbanan as a milestone for a laugh, if it came...

A no brainer would be picking one of the four big and interesting coasters at Liseberg as a milestone over the kiddie creds, though?
