Nobody is gonna cry for a removed SLC

Many coasters are in theory lethal. Then they have all sorts of safety features to make them safe but in their purest form they are lethal. Imagine riding a normal B&M looper with no restraints, no block sections, no sensors. You are almost guaranteed to be dead by the end of the ride. That is...

Balder was down my entire first year in Gothenburg. While I had ridden it before, it was still hard see it almost daily and not be able to ride it.

Well done by Disney! This whole show was obviously in revenge of Disney's first amendement right to express themselves, regardless if one agrees with Disney's expression or not. Will be an interesting case to follow...

I am sure it will. It will probably stay at least this entire season, if not more. The article quotes Liseberg's technical head saying "It has served it's useful life and although we have not made the final decision, I can say that we are discussing it's future". Flumeride is probably the most...

In other Liseberg news, Flumeride now has the writing on the wall. The attraction will soon be going with Liseberg CEO Andreas Andersen saying "We are planning on replacing it". Flumeride has just turned 50 years old and will need a very substantial renovation, therefore the park prefers to...

Liseberg has put their advertisement on the ferry bringing people to Gröna Lund. It's the latest act in the friendly feud between the two Swedish giants. Previously, among other things, it has involved Liseberg flying a hot air balloon with a Lisebeg bunny on over Gröna Lund and Gröna Lund...

Dont think it's getting better or worse. It's pretty much unchanged. Unsafe ride dramas attract views!

I'm not saying that it's bad being pro LGBT. But, right now there is this massive anti trans thing in the US. Bud Light walked right into it and now it hurts their bottom line. Disney did a similar thing. Saying things at the wrong time hurts business. Anyone who has had to come out, has...

Desantis and his other republicans didn't each get between 1.2 and 1.6 million more votes by gerrymandering. Apparently, they are just popular. Disney obviously are motivated by profits, and purely by profits. Desantis and his gang are motivated by his ego, possible presidential bid and his...

Not on a state level. Florida hasnt had a democratic governor for over 20 years. In the 2022 election, Desantis beat his (ex republican governor) opponent by almost 20 points. The biggest lead in 40 years. He got the majority hispanic vote. This is also the first time in almost 150 years that...

I never understood why Merlin would use Aramark for F&B. Would certainly be better if they did it themselves.

As Coasterforce's resident queer conservative, I won't give my personal political view on this whole thing. Although, I will say that I don't like Desantis and his hideous ego. I will give a simple business awnser to @Furiustobaco question. Disney will obviously keep investing in WDW. In...

First 30 minutes they only sent two VIP trains while the queue was open and completely full. It took about 20 minutes for the first VIP train to dispatch due to most VIP guests needing cameras mounted. At 13:00 it opened to the public. Got a front row ride in one of the first public trains. I...

Luna has had it's inauguration with ribbon cutting and a marching band but so far no train has dispatched. The queue is full and people around me are getting pretty fed up, leaving the queue left and right.

Maybe it'll go somewhere else. Doubt this coaster will be scrapped. SFCs are popular rides

On many coasters the whole reason to have a restraint is to restrain the riders from their own movements. If riders just sit still, restraints might not even be needed. Rutschbanan at Bakken is an example, while the riders are retrained there is a free standing breakman without any kind of...

I love it when parks advertise improved coasters together with improved potatoes 😍

Helix was originally planned as a hyper coaster, with the station in what is now Luna Park. Then, a hyper coaster with a launched lift hill. Then, it just became a lunched coaster. I would have preferred Hyper Helix but I am not at all disappointed with what we got. I also understand...

Great TR, I'm loving it! Hope you had tons of delicious plov!
