Traditionally, when a Schwarzkopf is getting new trains, Gerstlauer manufactures them, but it seems like other manufacturers are starting to develop trains for these models as well, like Premier (apparently they are the suppliers for the reincarnation of Montezooma at Knott's).

Wake me up when actual construction starts, probably by 2033.

Mystique at Walibi Rhône-Alpes and next year Palindrome at Cotaland. I am still intrigued by John Wardley's words: he said that he was impressed by how they could maximize capacity on this coaster with a shuttle layout. Maybe we read too much into his words but I can't think of a way to fit a...

And also the freaking FIRST B&M shuttle coaster in history. I really like the shade of green they have chosen.

Part of me is giggling at such a milestone. I mean, it's a 20 feet hill xD

Well, this is awkward...

Count another one for team Taron! As an overall experience, F.L.Y wins, but if it's just coaster hardware, then it's Taron.

Oops, I have just posted a link to the same exact video on another thread "New rides @ small parks". Sorry, mods! I must admit it looks cool for being a Mission: SPACE ripoff!

"- Mom, can we have a Mission: SPACE? - We have a Mission: SPACE at home!" The Mission: SPACE at home: Movieland has done it AGAIN. These people are amazing at creating memorable attractions out of ordinary ride systems, on a low budget. This one seems actually rather cool, and as far as I...

That is some hot tea! Thanks for sharing the ins and outs of the Orlando Slinghost division. So, correct me if I am wrong, if the Orlando Slingshot was a division of Funtime, and the Orlando Freefall was made by Funtime, could it be assumed that Funtime was aware of the tweaking that was done to...

PortAventura actually running their attractions at a decent capacity.

Plus, business is business. If Plopsa is willing to pay for a Mack Xtreme Spinner, they will get it. After all, as far as I know, Mack coasters aren't cheap and they don't sell in bulk. Fair point. EP can still showcase a family-friendly version of their spinning model in Euromir (even more...

This element should be named Awkward Banked Diveloop.

Maybe they are going to use the station and current theme/name for a family coaster? Something that uses the terrain although not on the scale of the original Ultimate, and definitely not as intense and long.

Apparently Voltron will most likely open in 2024 due to the lack of key components for the ride that Europa Park could not forsee.

See? This is not true. The initial scenery (1995) is the backbone of the park. Universal came and did some little touches here and there (painted the houses in Mediterranea in different colours, which is not true to the original area and reality, for example). Then came the Italians with cheap...

I had friends working in operations during the Universal years and ride ops were really pushed by management to get good hourly numbers, unlike now.

So far, it's just a rumour circulating around Spanish thoosies discussion boards. Most of it is wishful thinking, as people are fond of that Universal period when big attractions were installed. However, as some Universal characters still roam the park (Woody Woodpecker), Universal is being...

Or instead of a chain lift put ANOTHER cable lift. Oh, wait...

2,454 feet of track, of which 2,000 feet is going to be launch track.
