Half the coaster community is having PTSD from F.L.Y just looking at the wall picture.

In the old footage below (from the news on opening day) you can see that having no belts greatly helped operations. It was very common to see a train going up the lift as the previous one was clearing the MCBR, with almost no stacking and often rolling trains. Queues really flew back then!

I recently found a short video about Dragon Khan testing in late 1994 / early 1995 (just some months before park officially opened) with students from local schools. Man, did the ride look shiny and great back then. And it looked massive without Shambhala next door. Those were the good times...

I respect all hobbies as long as they stay within legal boundaries. Doing base jump and climbing buildings without permission is definitely ilegal.

Now that you mention this, something that caught my attention is that when he got to the very top of the coaster, he grabbed the rails where proxy sensors are mounted. I really hope these were checked. You know how sensitive these sensors can be, and I don't want to picture what could happen if...

Last Monday, two men broke into Ferrari Land to perform a base jump from the top of Red Force, the Intamin LSM giga coaster at the resort, at 112 meters. After sneaking past security and jumping over the security fencing (lol), George King (a guy that has attempted other crazy climbs and...

According to SFOT's social media, the coaster's opening has been officially pushed back to 2023. Have a Six Flags day xD

@Matt N , your mum is kind of a driving hero! I was rolling at the 'F*** 'em' moment. Keep posting those acid trips!

So, I guess the top hat will be the first element to go up for two reasons: - Since it sits at the end of Hollywood Boulevard having the tallest and most eye-catching element of your new coasters serves as a marketing tool - Being right in the middle of the park, it's better to get that layout...

"Some men just want to watch the world burn." And I am heeeere for it:

Ever wondered what the inside of a Roomba looks like? Look no further. This Motion Theatre by Dynamic Attractions, named Chasseurs de Tornades, recently opened at Futuroscope. And my favourite, Chasseurs de Tornado, Euro-mir edition! xD

Get the popcorn, because the memes are fresh from Twitter!

And the award to the biggest WTF-moment goes to Parque Warner. Today, the iconic WB globe that sits at the park entrance plaza decided to go all Indiana Jones rolling away from its foundation.

One thing is having "safety standards" and another one "taking their sweet time" constructing and getting ready a ride that's so simple even a carnie would set up faster than them. I don't blame parks for taking time to safely build and certify their rides , but this is just getting ridiculous.

A carnie can build one of these crappy mouse coasters in a couple of afternoons yet a park cannot open theirs for months?

I always assumed Europa had tons of land to expand and keep growing. They grew so much in the last 20 years or so with expansive lands and coasters that now it's hard picturing them piling attractions like Phantasialand. Really intrigued by this whole project!

To be honest, I think it was a missed opportunity when they rebuilt Pirates in Batavia without that technology. They could have kept the theming and overall feeling and still showcase that new product and turn an old attraction into a 21st-century classic!

Bless him. He says he was traumatised but I think he is exaggerating and was actually fine although he doesn't have much of a recollection as he had his eyes shut and screamed through the entire ride xD He did'nt reride though. If he hadn't enjoyed it so much, why would he go on Taron? That was...

During my last trip to Phantasialand, in early July, I rode F.L.Y for the first time. Here is my word-heavy review. If you are too lazy, skip to my overall thoughts: Upon arriving at Phantasialand (9am sharp) with my boyfriend (not a coaster enthusiast by any means), I was kind of cred-anxious...

Boulder Dash - Lake Compounce Stampida - PortAventura Park Tomahawk - PortAventura Park Such a short and sad list xD
