I am a huge sucker for of B&M floorless coasters and some later B&M stand-ups. I really love those huge classic elements. Nowadays you never see such a brilliant layout as Meduza or Scream! anymore. A huge 128 foot tall vertical loop, a 96 foot tall dive loop, a zero-g roll, and a 78 foot tall...

For me the Arrow or Schwarzkopf question comes down to consistency. Arrow has some brilliant coasters; X2, Canyon Blaster, Viper, etc, but they also have loads of absolute rubbish. While no Schwarzkopf is equally good as the greatest Arrows, neither is anything as bad as the bad Arrows...

I think this just highlights a general issue with Saudi Arabia's massive expansion. They really don't seem to have a plan with it all, other than just having something bigger than someone else (mainly Dubai). Just took a look at their world's largest airport announcement. They want to build an...

A water fountain, more statues, light package, a new bench in front of it, etc. There are loads they can do.

WOW! That looks to be an actually brilliant coaster, not just a tilt gimmick. Gives me lech vibes.

If I would guess something, I would say Vekoma Super Boomerang. The train treverses the track twice, thereby giving more ride with less track. I'm sure Vekema could create a brilliant custom layout to fit into the plot.

I also hink it will be a launch, or a vertical lift. Though Gröna Lund are well known for using the space optimally so even a large lift hill will not be a waste of space. Gröna lund will just integrate it into shops or other things. We need to keep in mind that the entire expansion plot is...

Hahahaha I don't know what potions they are using but somehow SFFT gets every Six Flags investment.

To expand on what I previously wrote. While not being as flashy as long distance rail, local transit such as busses and commuter trains are so incredibly important for the community. Imagine a low income neighbourhood with high unemployment. If this neighbourhood would get good quality transit...

A topic I absolutely love to talk about. First of all busses. The UK bus system is weird to say the least. A bunch of private operators which in some cases are fairly regulated, while in other cases run in some kind of free-for-all. Busses are the backbone of public transport and needs to be...

It wont fit. The plot is about 110 m long and the Cliffhanger model is 140 m long. The Pittfall model works with the length but is too wide for the plot. Neither of these coasters would fit at Gröna Lund. Although, we could see a custom tilt coaster. I also highly doubt Gröna Lund will use the...

With enough money you can even get somebody who is adamant of being retired to come back. Great idea to bring him back. Better than getting a new temporary CEO who anyways will be switched out. Chapek had been on borrowed time. Although this will also challenge Iger. He made one of the biggest...

Luna update time. I was at Liseberg for Christmas opening and the park is absolutely lovely but the hill (exept for around the ferriswheel) is mostly closed, undecorated and badly landscaped. All rides and coasters on the hill are closed (except for the ferriswheel). Most of it is walkable and...

I was terrified of hamgtime as a kid, while not being too scared of inversions. I think there were others like me.

While that might have soured CFs taste of the area, I don't think the city council was the reason for selling the park. I think the reasons for CF selling it are purely financial. If the park isn't profitable enough and sits on prime real estate then why keeping it? My preferred solution to...

No walk now, could be in the future. Depends how upset the voters are. The city could be incredibly harsh with the zoning if they want to, making the land useless if it isn't a theme park. When we get closer to a closing, this might heat up.

Never thought I'd say this, but, I want to ride a boomerang.

I'm sure it will be butter smooth hangtime with short lines. I'm not complaining from an enthusiast pov. Fast and probably enjoyable credit for us. Surely better than a roller skater. I just don't get what Merlin were thinking that this would be the best way to introduce kiddos to inversions.

If I was a kid, I would probably be more terrified of this than a coaster that takes inversions swiftly without hangtime, like a Schwarzkopf or Arrow looper. On those types of coasters you only close your eyes and wont even feel that you are upside down. Hangtime can be terrifying for kids...

After may complaints, Lisberg will again sell tickets at their entrances. Since the pandemic, Liseberg has been pre booking only (except for pass holders). Some days there would be plenty of tickets left while others it would completely sell out. On a study visit to Liseberg earlier this year I...
