    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Now THAT is immersion 🤣 I do wonder what's caused this though...as the fire on the theming structure doesn't go anywhere near the track. Perhaps a guest has dropped something?

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I haven't been on Hyperia yet. I live up North (Gateshead) so Thorpe is quite the drive for me. However, I do intend on biting the bullet and driving down on the first week of September to get my first rides on it...hopefully it's nice and quiet with the kids back in school then 🤞

    SeaWorld Orlando | Penguin Trek | B&M Family Launch Coaster | 2024

    Honestly, looks like a decent family coaster! I get that there's not much in terms of amazing elements or anything, but this is definitely the perfect coaster for the younger ones wanting to go the next step up (especially with the 2 launches). As expected with SeaWorld, the theming is "meh". I...

    Worst coasters you've ridden (Bottom 5/10)

    1. Infusion - Just the worst 😂 2. Hero - Uncomfortable, rattily, the worst "flying coaster" ever. 3. El Diablo Tren De La Mina - Does a whole not of nothing (with some janky moments). 4. The Big One - Might be a controversial one here, but apart from the first drop, this coaster also does a...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Yeah, its definitely been valleying for a while on those videos. I could be way off, but this seems to be one of the most problematic Mack Coasters there's been. I understand it's a new coaster and all, but the amount of closures this thing has had so far is a bit concerning. It does make me...

    Short clip on twitter this morning... https://x.com/VoralCoral/status/1803347589506507134?t=oNJ22prfuJYe2Ri3FhEbHw&s=19

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    I actually totally forgot about entering into Klugheim that way! Thanks for that tip :D I suppose once she's been on Taron, she won't much care anyways 😂

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    A new photo of the new wall/facade/building between Mexico and Klugheim. Credit to phl_brian for this picture. There's more on phantafriends.de and I'm not going to lie....I'm quite gutted with how this is looking. I know it's just bad timing and these things can't be helped, but knowing my...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Seeing posts of the queue time board - currently showing at 240 minutes (4 hours) long. I'll be quite surprised if this is actually accurate, as Nemesis Reborn's queue reached 275 minutes on opening day and I swear this coaster is meant to have a lower throughput 🤨

    Top 10(ish): 2024 Edition - page 124

    Updated Top 15 List after a recent trip to Energylandia : 1. Zadra - Don't know why, but I never expected this coaster to top Iron Gwazi for me, but here we are. There's so many similarities this coaster has to Iron Gwazi, but what sets it higher is a few things; better pacing, more sustained...

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    Why am I not surprised 😂 Phantasialand sure love taking their time with walls 😮‍💨

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    Does anyone have updates on these new walls/structures around the Klugheim/Mexico area? Interested to see if they've neared completion 👀

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Reminds me of their old adverts for the likes of Inferno and Colossus. Agree with the above, much better than the other "story" based trailer.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    The Nemesis Reborn TV Advert was only released the day before it opened. I imagine it will be similar with Hyperia

    Energylandia | Choco Chip Creek | Vekoma Minetrain | 2024

    It may have already been discussed here, but has the government funding for this park been stopped? It seems that a lot of the new projects here seem to be opening unfinished and also with the news of the tilt coaster being cancelled.

    Alton Towers New Flat Ride?

    Just thought I'd mention that Phantasialand have got the fire effects working on Talocan again this season :D

    Alton Towers New Flat Ride?

    Some more updates on the new flat ride... https://x.com/TowersTimes/status/1784906609849762252 Very much looking to be something similar to Ripsaw.

    Energylandia | Choco Chip Creek | Vekoma Minetrain | 2024

    Looks like a decent family coaster! I'm quite surprised by how well themed the queue is too :D It is such a shame however to see that the theming outside is still nowhere near complete :confused:

    Alton Towers New Flat Ride?

    I've been thinking about the whole Galactica retheme for a while now, but I honestly just can't see it happening for one main reason... Nemesis opened up in 1994, and last operated in 2022 (28 years of operation). Air/Galactica opened up in 2002. If it were to have a similar lifespan, this...
