The problem is not that if you're part of the lhbti+ community you have to think about holding hands or not. It's bigger than that. It's about having the feeling you can't be your real self. The feeling that if park employees would know your sexuality you suddenly would not feel welcome anymore...

Fun fact: Duinrell in the Netherlands had a very similar story with a similar coaster type: https://rcdb.com/945.htm

So far nothing beats B&M's track and the sound it produces, it has this great intimidating vibe. I also like the track styles of Intamin (both old and new) and new generation Vekoma.

Did only one trip this year, Phantasialand. Amazing trip though. 5 coasters ridden this year New number 1 and 2 coasters I've ridden (Taron, F.L.Y.) My first new generation Vekoma coasters (F.L.Y., Reik) My first flying coaster My first invert by B&M (Black Mamba) New favourite park I've...

I agree with many of the above comments. Human rights get violated in a lot of countries, but SA is a step up. I would not be interested in going, for moral and ethical reasons, but I do understand that some of you go and experience this very special project. To me personally there's also a...

I want to be interested in this project. But somehow I feel this project is only there to break records. And it's build by people that have too much money, they don't know what to do with it, so they decide to start a record breaking project in a desolated desert that probably is only going to...

Haha it could have to do something with the combination of the restraints and the fact that I am 2 meter (6.7f) tall. Blue Tornado has the terrible bold restraints that are uncomfortable for most people. But because my head reached above the ear pads my head was free of head banging. Blue...

I rode two of them. Condor at Walibi Holland was terrible. I thought Blue Tornado at Gardaland didn't have the roughness of Condor and I actually had a fun ride on it.

The coaster itself (without the theming and landscaping) looks good: https://www.instagram.com/p/CyVaHVatAvC/?img_index=1

Spinning seats on the back of normal trains aesthetically look dumb (it's like the seats broke loose from a non spinning car on the train). Oldschool Vekoma Boomerangs really have smart designs, and the ones that are less rough are actually really fun.

Never rode any of their (three) rides but I've read very great comments about their invert in South-Africa. A ride similar to B&M inverts (because they basically are) but with the potential to do way more quick transition with the different train setup. I think I don't know enough about the...

Of the coasters I've experienced: FLY, Taron and Vliegende Hollander jump to mind immediately.

We did a Speed Build Challenge in the gaming section of the forum. I created a B&M hyper that I called Falcons Flight. I loved that name. However, now it turned out to be the name of the new record breaking Intamin at Six Flags Qedia. Coincidence? ;) Other made up names for announced and...

A true brain cracker, but I came up with the following order of all I've ridden: 1. Black mamba Yep, that's it... a pretty good ride though.

Well I don't really think it has to do with trends or anything like that. The mentioned rides all have dark themes where dark colours make the most sense. The two family wing coasters have way more fun and positive theming. So I would probably make comparable decisions on picking colours for...

Hi all, I wanted to try something new. Something I ended up enjoying a lot. I call it the 45 minute coaster challenge. I started out building a launch coaster on a very limited plot of land. In the video attached here you can see the result. I am planning on doing this more often. Maybe even...

Really not a fan of the new paint. In my opinion, it looks tacky... I understand why people were not a fan of the rusty look (I've only seen it on pictures but I liked it), however at least it had something real and raw.

Edited

Yesterday I visited a park that has been high on my list for a while: Phantasialand. Every great thing I heard about this park is true. What a beautiful place. The way they used their relatively small plot of land to create themed areas this detailed and immersive is just amazing. Also their...

1. Taron (Launch coaster, Phantasialand) - The forceful launches, the quick transitions, sense of speed, diving through the rock work... amazing ride! 2. Goliath (Mega coaster, Walibi Holland) - The middle part of the ride didn't do too much, but the airtime moments on the first and last part of...
