Just thinking about it… maybe I am more a B+ category. I neither go out of my way for a +1, nor do I pay every price. But from time to time (every 2-3 years) I like to do a small trip including multiple small parks and therefore plenty of +1 as well.

B for sure. If it is close to me, I'll gladly take it as a reason to get the +1, but the pricing has to be somewhat in line (e.g. I wouldn't go to Epcot just to ride Guardians) and the distance shouldn't be too far. I wouldn't travel 100km just for a "+1". Pretty much the same as for kiddy rides...

Of course the park was only closed for the year I visited Duabi. Well, after missing Sea World by 3 weeks, yet another reason to return in a couple of years. Are there cheap flights from Dubai to Riad?

Loopings is not particularly known for waiting for any permission before sharing anything, quite contrary. So if they were to know the name, they‘d have already shared it.

Awesome, thank you! For comparison: A Mack Mega running wheel (and I guess it is similar for Intamin Blitz) has 34cm diameter (12.5“). So we are talking about roughly 20% increase in diameter. I am still really interested in how this performs. Formula Rossa trims you down to 100mph right after...

According to Themepark Worldwide, the wheels have a diameter of 16" (40.6cm), and the second "launch" (the straight to get up the quarry wall) has a speed of ~100mph (160 km/h). I found no source to confirm this, though, so please take this with a grain of salt. Allthough I don't feel like Shawn...

Looks slow

We have a Frontcar. According to Midway Mayhem, no safety googles are required.

Crazy Mouse at Brighton Palace Pier. I rode this back in 2018, and it was already mostly held together by rust - and lots of it. I rarely feel scared for my life on a rollercoaster, but this one did it.

So, originally I wanted to boast the most strange and rare coasters I could find. But this is not about the rarest, or weirdest, or strangest, or furthest coasters, but the best. I might have overlooked a couple coasters, as the overall list is getting quite long at this point, but I think all...

Enjoy your day :-)

RMCs are very noisy. BTM at Disneyland Paris. Not only is this one loud, but it is also fully enclosed within a mountain, so it feels even louder. It wasn't uncommon to see people covering their ears when I visited. Other Vekoma Minetrains with chainlifts are also quite noisy.

To be honest, the theoretical capacity might actually turn out to be decent. The time between block clearance (last car of the lift/last car of the final brakerun) is about 30 seconds, which can result in close to 120 dispatches per hour. 120*16 = 1,920pph, which is actuall insane for such a...

Might be a tight fit, but I think they should be able to build one additional flatride after they're done with the tiltcoaster.

Phantasialand does this Taron or FLY, although not as intense as Disney. But they do post exaggerated queue times close to park closure, which can easily be twice the real wait.

I’ve been waiting for their hotel since 2018. As far as I know the Tilt coaster is the last major expansion which is in parts payed by EU money. However, as the EU loves to waste money, I wouldn’t complain if they were to waste more money at Energylandia 😂

Zadra never slows down, and if you have a closer look at the shaping of its hills, Hyperion is also quite fast even on their crests. Hyperia has 2 drawn out inversions + the outwarded banked inversion thingy which each extend the ride time by a decent amount. I feel like Mack has tried their...

Judging from the videos, it takes about 45 seconds to clear the distance between lifthill and the potential holding brake. Giving it an extra 15 seconds to clear the brake again, it could hit 1,200 pph (60x20), maybe even higher.

B&M has patended the scoops on their trains, so Mack would have had to come up (did I get the grammar right?) with a different solution to brake the train while also creating some sort of splash. However, the splash on B&Ms is significant, I don't know if such a big splash would even be viable...

I might have overlooked if it was already posted, but the Trimms in the Splashdown are now finally confirmed: Source: Yes, if you were trying to recreate the layout you knew this from the beginning, but the trimms were not a part of the original rendering. Also not a fan of the name.
