I don’t expect them to ever go public with the specific issue. If it was a mechanical one (as it looks now), it would imply a safety risk and they wouldn’t go public. If it was an electrical issue, it would imply that they didn’t do enough testing and therefore compromise the rides safety - so...

After seeing Europa Park going with a quad LSM layout… couldn’t Intamin do the same with their (more powerful) LSM modules? It wouldn’t be as insane as the original, but I feel about 3g average are reasonable. Would at least be some kind of worthy replacement. And Intamin should ride...

I bet that this was asked often enough, but I want to be sure: If I am part of a group of 3, and just the 3 of us sit in a coaster - does this count as a Solo-ride? Does this also go for Wild Mice, were our group of 3 would keep others from entering the car?

There can only be one answer to the question of the best invert: Monster at Walygator. Take Raptor at Cedar point, remove any trimms and you got yourself a decent amount of insanity. I wanted to write „complete insanity“ at first, but that title has to go to Tornado. But for an invert, it is...

I’ve had multiple rides this week, and Voltron can be an amazing coaster. But it can also be horrible. The good trains are fine on the inner seats and rough, but still bearable on the outer ones. The bad trains are rough on the inside and horrible on the outer seats. I think I would rather...

If I recall correctly, that „lift“ is supposed to be a 120 km/h launch, so there is plenty of chance for decent airtime.

Superman sounds like a solid guess. The Mega-Coasters as we know them started 2 years later in 1999. I was just trying to think what my first rollercoaster with hydraulic restraints was, but Colossos is certainly not the first one.

So Psyke will apparently be re-rebranded to Turbine?

100% agree. Most of the screaming nowadays is only because they want to scream. Honestly, people getting shot don’t scream half as much as those (usually) girls do. I can only imagine that their sole goal is to either ruin the fun of everyone else, or even hurting them by screaming in their...

Loopings.nl reported that Parc Asterix is planning an Egyptian themed hotel für 2026, an expansion to the first hotel in 2028 (+108 rooms) and a fifth hotel for 2028-2031. You can’t complain about a lack of ambition with this one! In my opinion the latest one is the best themed hotel I’ve ever...

It was still open during my visit, and when we left the park it was still running fine. So I can’t give you much information on that one, sorry :-(

keep in mind that the overbanked turn after the curve is fairly high compared to the MCBR. The nighttime temperatures are still fairly low, combined with maybe some wind it might have just been enough to keep the train from clearing the overbank. I can confirm from a friend who is at the park...

Thank you for using spoilers!

Today was the official press conference. Apparently, the effect track prior to the first launch is now active as well. Btw: Roland Mack mentioned that the current visitor limit for Europapark is ~35,000 people, not including Croatia.

Looks pretty shaky. You can also see the paint on the rail missing in some spots, which also hints to a shaky experience. Let's hope its just the video.

So, I've returned from my trip which included Bellewaerde. I did not expect Amazonia to be open when planning the trip, but I certainly don't complain. Once the gates opened, we imediately walked to the rides entrance. The queue isn't bad, but quite long with no ways to shorten it. You will...
