The Oide Wiesn is back again, as the quadrennial Bavarian Central Agricultural Festival has cancelled their exhibition this year. For those that aren't familiar with the nostalgic Oide Wiesn, it's a section of the Oktoberfest in the southern part of the Theresienwiese dedicated to historical...

True this...

I've been on a few SLCs (and Boomerangs) with new trains and still didn't experience a good ride, regardless of manufacturer (Vekoma or KumbaK). The Great Nor'Easter at Morey's is the only exception I can think of. I skipped riding Mind Eraser on my visits to the park in 2009-2010 and will...

Never #1, but it did make it up as high as #4. My #1 was El Toro for the longest until they put that trim on Boulder Dash's turnaround and the two switched places. Then came various RMCs until VelociCoaster, which only lasted a year as #1 until Iron Gwazi opened.

It's baaack! The owner of Neonopolis has revealed plans to open a new theme park called Mini Disni in Las Vegas by this fall. Plans for the roughly $300 million theme park will be officially presented at the International Council of Shopping Centers Convention next week and include an open-air...

Couldn't disagree more. I rode that baby as much as I could every time I visited Blackpool, often multiple time in a row (as quite a few CFers can confirm). Ankle and knee bashing or not, it remains one of the best coaster experiences I ever had. So much so that it's still in my Top 20 (#18). As...

Not yet open, not yet inspected, no seat belts or restraints and I watched them still building it just a few hours before riding. Need I say more?

Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce has reopened! The award-winning terrain wooden coaster received 1,000 feet (305 m) of new Titan Track and the train has been transformed by PTC. I'll be heading up there soon and will post on how it rides.

The reopening of the Camp Snoopy area has been postponed until June or early July due to construction delays. The park didn't announce exactly what the delays are, but I don't think it's has anything to do with the new camp store, dining hall, Zamperla Happy Swing, or Off-Road Rally jeep ride.;)...

Received my media invite for May 21st. Too bad I can't make it.

Thread moved since we now have construction updates.

Scott is at Holiday World's media day and is posting a story on CF's Instagram, for those that want to follow today's event. And for those interested on how Scott and Jack do what they do, here's a behind the scenes look at filming Good Gravy!

Actual POV

I've been asked if I have any information on the history of the hydraulic restraint and the "breakthrough" of it’s use on roller coasters? Didn't think there were any aspects of coasters that I wasn't familiar with, but I never happened to read or hear about the advent of hydraulic restraints...

Don't forget about the newer Vekomas. I haven't ridden many of them, but those I have are as smooth as anything else out there.

Momentum Leisure purchased a 6.7-hectare plot of land from Mitiska REIM to build a another theme park and water park, which will expand the Europa Centralna retail center's offerings in Gliwice, Poland (near Legendia and Energylandia). The project will become the company's fourth theme park and...

Better not to assume. Can't believe they couldn't come up with a better name. :rolleyes:
