    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    I came across this POV and had to share - hopefully this forum is an acceptable place for it :) It's a backyard coaster, but a pretty impressive one. I'd seen videos of it but had never watched onride footage - until now. I think some of you might enjoy it in all its jankiness.

    Best night rides...

    I was lucky enough to get a Beast night ride last summer - they closed the ride while the fireworks show was on, and re-opened around 11pm or so - with everyone in the queue cheering as the first train went out. Hurtling through forest in the pitch black with practically no lights anywhere...

    Rank the B&M Hyper coasters

    I only have a few creds but here's my current ranking for these: Diamondback Silver Star Shambhala Behemoth Nitro (Orion and Fury 325 are omitted due to the hyper technicality)

    Bellewaerde Park | Mundo Amazonia | Intamin Rapids & More | 2024

    Those supports are lovely - very organic/ plant-like. Looks great so far

    Two rides with the same layout: one great, one terrible

    Yeah on this theme I remember the SLC with new restraints at Energylandia was fine, while Flight Deck at Canada's Wonderland was genuinely atrocious even in the front row. Crazy variation in enjoyability tbh

    Holiday World | Good Gravy | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2024

    RCDB has this down as $10m USD.... surely it couldn't cost that much?? A cute addition but I had no idea these were so expensive damn.

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    I'll be intrigued to see how capacity looks for this tbh- CP gets real busy so not sure how it'll handle the crowds. Is the three train prediction actually a thing.... because I can't imagine how it could be

    Rank the GCIs

    I've only been on four, but they're all great quality. 1. Mystic Timbers Perhaps the location helps here but it stood out most of the four I've ridden. Filled with fun twists and turns and airtime moments over water and through the forest - it's just a great woodie. 2. Troy It was a while ago...

    The North America biggie - 3rd July - 18th July

    So now that my big North America park trip with @Climb is over, I thought I’d write up a fairly brief trip report of the parks and notable creds. I know these are all parks that have been posted a lot - but these were entirely first visits for the both of us so hopefully may still be...

    Thorpe Park to retheme Derren Brown's Ghost Train

    That site is tinyyyyy though - no way a coaster could fit there surely

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Assuming full trains for each of the 68 dispatches that would amount to 1632 riders per hour btw. Pretty good tbh

    Fantastic old coaster footage/pics

    After seeing that POV, I feel like RCDB has the max speed wrong... 28mph?? Actually looks pretty fast at points

    That is so awesome. Imagine this coming out of a themed structure 😍

    The pacing looks excellent. Also it's nice that so many of the comments are people happy that Jinma is improving.

    Ferrari World Abu Dhabi | Mission Ferrari | Dynamic Attractions | 2023

    Okay I have to admit that looks incredible. Didn't realise it had so many gimmicks but looks like an amazing all-round experience.

    Lost Island Theme Park | Iowa | 2022 (Kanonen relocation)

    That would stop most theme parks having 'warm' themed areas though if that was the case - European parks still have Wild West and African themed areas despite getting snow in winter (Eg Phantasialand). Surely they could do artificial foliage and themed landscaping - but perhaps they don't have...

    Blue Fire 6.5/10 Finally got round to visiting Europa Park and I have to say this coaster was a let down. It's just not that exciting for some reason. Average launch, lacked intensity, lots of similar inversions, only a few airtime moments. The trains are great and it looks the part but yeah I...
