    Colossus Partial Retrack (Thorpe Park)

    Plus, making any modifications basically makes any warranty void (although I am sure Colossus' is long expired xD).

    Parc Astérix | Toutatis | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    Volcano set a trend for that. I think they used to have a plastic cart as well. Red Force does that as well, because that one has a separate load and unload station though.

    Parque Warner Madrid | Gotham City Escape | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    Excuse me, a logo with *three* different fonts?

    Parque Warner Madrid | Gotham City Escape | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    It looks definitely tamer than Toutatis. Maybe we'all be wrong and it will feel much faster once we are on it. By the way, is that backwards launch built into the ride sequence or is the second launch going to be a rolling launch?

    PortAventura | Uncharted | Intamin Multi-Dimension Coaster | 2023

    While it looks good to the naked eye, these themed walls are made with the cheapest materials, the same ones used for the rockwork around Shambhala, which was severely damaged after just one season. If not maintained properly, these walls are going to look faded/like a sore thumb in no time.

    Should Stampida (Port Aventura) really be RMC'd?

    I just want to chip and say: children, spell Stampida right. Also, Stampida needs a complete retrack (not small bits) by GCI, new rolling stock (please, Millennium Flyers?) and remove the trims on the first drop.

    Your most disproportionately long wait for a ride?

    At least those are quality attractions I waited close to 2 hours for the Minions ride at USF. If only I hadn't visited the park with non-enthusiasts, I could have marathoned Mummy instead.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I still can't quite figure out what the layout of this is going to look like, and I love it!

    Parc Astérix | Toutatis | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    Toutatis is going to give GCE a run for its money as Europe's best new-for-2023 coaster. Theming and ride hardware look top notch!

    Parque Warner Madrid | Gotham City Escape | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    As far as I know, the park was aiming at a possible Easter opening. We'll see how testing develops. And as JFrank has mentioned, the park will want as much media attention before this attraction is ultimately outshone by Uncharted.

    Parque Warner Madrid | Gotham City Escape | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    This looks slow, indeed: I mean, holy hangtime on the corkscrew. I guess the speed will be increased during the upcoming weeks to avoid a rollback on this element.

    Walibi Holland | Eat My Dust | Zamperla Junior Coaster | 2023

    Unlike Merlin, CdA can actually pull great attractions on a (I guess) tighter budget, and are not afraid to make bold investments (Mystique, Kondaa, Pulsar, Untamed, the pair of RMC raptors, Toutatis...). I don't really mind CdA using containers, as they always find creative ways to incorporate...

    Parc Astérix | Toutatis | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    Looking at the top hat's picture, I can see that Asterix have a fixation on taking weird photos from underneath big structures, because it is giving me Zeus vibes: Freud joined the chat.

    Walibi Holland | Eat My Dust | Zamperla Junior Coaster | 2023

    That layout is... a choice. And so is the name. Hopefully the park more than makes up for it with the upcoming RMC Raptor!

    Indiana Beach I All American Triple Loop | Quimera (Dreier Looper) relocation | 2024

    Or maybe Knoeble's can save it? (/wishful thinking)

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Serengeti Flyer | S&S Screamin' Swing | 2023

    Always nice to see parks investing in their flat ride lineup. This one features a nice colour scheme and complements the other rides at BGT nicely: it's the perfect family-thrill ride!

    Biggest misnomers in the theme park industry

    Any coaster with the name 'Escape' in it. I mean, you are basically escaping, just to be back to where you escaped from in a matter of 2 minutes at best. Good job!

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    Vests are much worse. Simple OTSR are lighter, not as hard to lower by ops, which takes a toll on them at the end of the day. If it aint broke...
