So just lift hill, first drop and the turnaround to be linked now then? If they get it all in within the next couple of weeks then maybe a March opening but looking more like April now.

You forgot Skyrush. If you like it then you will LOVE it. But if you're a baby then it will sit somewhere in your 30-50. Realistically I can see Ride to Happiness and Arieforce 1 having a genuine chance of getting in my top 10. There's quite a few other notable rides but I have high hopes for...

A Hagrid's based on Raccoon City during that part of the franchise would be absolutely epic. Lickers and Tyrant in the first section with an exploding effect into a reverse launch. G versions and dogs in the Police Station in the second section Nemesis flame thrower finale

I generally avoid any youtuber/social media's opinions on parks, they are never objective. Usually the good people on here are more honest about their reviews, taking time to ride it in multiple seats and don't just say how they feel 3 seconds after getting off. It's a shame about Icon, I...

New ride syndrome combined with the social media hype and arse licking aimed at Thorpe will be unbearable in the first couple of weeks. I'll be avoiding reviews for a while I think. Nemesis has the perfect flow to it, I think Hyperia will be more of a Goliath(SFGAm) vibe where the elements are...

I do think that only including the top 10 knocks a lot of really good rides out nowadays. Anyone with a cred count in the multi-hundreds probably has a bunch of excellent coasters in their 11-20, and from what I can see, this is where most of the 2023 coasters are getting ranked. It's a shame...

50 - Grona Lund - Monster (2022) 51 - Liseberg - Valkyria (2022) 52 - Parc Asterix - Oz Iris (2023) 53 - Parque Warner Madrid - Shadows of Arkham (2023) 8% of total, so many new Gersts and Zamperlas recently :rolleyes:

Been a while, should be over 50 now right? 41. Energylandia - Speed (2018) 42. Disneyland Paris - RC Racer (2019) 43. Energylandia - Hyperion (2019) 44. Ferrari World - Formula Rossa (2021) 45. Ferrari World - Turbo Track (2021) 46. Ferrari World - Flying Aces (2021) 47. Parc Asterix - Toutatis...

Bold are new for this year. The Intamins all delivered, varying but similar experiences, all of them have stand out moments, and all of them have **** moments. I think Taiga was probably my fave of the three as the stall was dreamy and had some excellent airtime moments. The only downside is the...

It's been a while, prior to Covid to be exact. Worth an update, 2 tasty ones this year. 1998 - Oblivion - Alton Towers 2002 - Air - Alton Towers 2003 - Nemesis Inferno - Thorpe Park 2004 - Spinball Whizzer/Sonic Spinball - Alton Towers 2005 - Rita - Alton Towers 2006 - Stealth - Thorpe Park...

Website still states summer season opening - https://www.europapark.de/en/theme-park/voltron-nevera-powered-rimac "When the new coaster opens in the 2024 summer season" However, they classify "Summer Season" as Spring onwards "Summer Season 23.03.2024 – 27.09.2024 Europa-Park is open daily...

Coaster count at start of 2023: 570 Coaster count at end of 2023: 656 Coaster count increase: 86 (tied with my 3rd most creddy year) Park count at start of 2023: 128 Park count at end of 2023: 149 Park count increase: 21 Number of park visits (per day): 22 Personal highlights and lowlights of...

I genuinely hated the FLY thread once the wall discussion took over. I just ignored it after that, not only because the discussion was a total waste of time, but wanted to be spoiler free.

I think you'll be happy with whichever one you plump for, they both tick the boxes for good rides and atmosphere, but personally I found Hansa to be the much better of the two parks.

Wow, 4 years since I did this one. Updates/changes in Bold. Abu Dhabi - Flying Aces - Ferrari World Austria - Insider - Wiener Prater Belgium - Anubis -- Plopsaland Denmark - Piraten - Djurs Sommerland Dubai - Madagascar Mad Pursuit - Motiongate Finland - Taiga - Linnanmaki France - Rock...

Lack of airtime moments isn't an issue if those moments are excellent. Skyrush only has 6(?) moments but each one is exceptional. We won't know until it's ridden. Not getting on the hype train just yet. Like others, I still think we've been shafted for length, the apparent trims in the...

Worth another update for sure. 1 - X2 2 - Wildcat's Revenge 3 - Aireforce One 4 - Kondaa 5 - I305 6 - Jersey Devil Coaster (any single rail tbh) 7 - Untamed 8 - Ride to Happiness 9 - Iron Gwazi 10 - Velocicoaster

There is no chance TT2 will be better than the original, those hydraulic launches are significantly better than any other launch system, even if they are unreliable. Some may prefer the S&S air launches but I'm yet to experience one that trumps the hydraulic. These things are one trick ponies...

I heard on the radio recently that there's a lack of engineers in the industry currently, you would likely be able to get some good advice from local parks on the best routes to that career path, obviously sling all the manufacturers an email as well.

Not always, Rob's example is where it's a detriment, but generally I find I prefer the family owned parks as they seem to care about guest satisfaction more, just for example; Paultons is, imo, the best theme park in the UK, it's lacking that one big headline coaster but as park operations and...
