Tbh at this point the most interesting thing about this video to me is that it's wet in Los Angeles county

Hate to be the smartass but that's a Mondial Ventura, not a Top Scan. EDIT: Sidenote but I love the colour scheme

The new models have a fast intamin mega-lite style cable lift rather than a chain so there's none of that disengagement action with the chain.

Oh wow Zamperla actually figured out how to design restraints finally, good job Now if they could figure out how to make rides that feel like anything then I'll be impressed

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure they never aimed for '18 or '19 and one couldn't have possibly expected them to open this year anyway.

Eh, it's not much as a ride experience, although I'm sure it's more of a loss for locals of the park. I don't trust Särkänniemi to replace it with anything worthwhile, though, since it's Särkänniemi.

While I applaud the pettiness as a Finn, I just can't really get excited about this. This extension will cost the park almost as much as Taiga did for Linnanmäki so I'd have much rather waited a year or two more and then them to bust out with a Kärnan-esque Gerstlauer hyper coaster or something...

...Excuse me?

Taiga Despite Linnanmäki being (practically) my home park, it took me until the 2nd to last day of the season (19.10) to visit this year and finally ride on Taiga. Unfortunately, I only got in one ride because the light carnival is a busy time and I wasn't about to abandon my friend for 45...

Not sure if this is a fair comparison but Linnanmäki, a park with half the visitor count of Chessington in the last decade has installed an enterprise, a small drop tower, a kiddie powered coaster, a Maurer Skyloop coaster, a brand new gosetto ghost train, a 75m gyro drop, 2 family flats and VR...

It would have to be Vonkaputous (rip) which was as at Linnanmäki in Finland. It got removed after constant downtime to make way for Taiga, but it was at the edge of the park and the splashdown directly bordered a public road/park so they installed a big ol plexiglass wall so if the splash itself...

My definite #1 spot goes to Ikaros at Gröna Lund in Stockholm, Sweden, that straight down dive really does it and hanging at the mercy of your restraint. #2 spot goes to the 75m Moser gravity tower model (prev. known as mach tower) such as Kingi at Linnanmäki, the restraints are really loose...

I think they're actually Funtime Vomatrons, Zamperla opts for shields instead of just spacing the gondola out from the axes.

I'm just kinda confused why it has such a long and unnescessarily tall brake run? Would it really have been that much more expensive to add one little airtime hill and then a normal sized brake run low down or something?

I guess I should preface this by saying that Krake is the only B&M Dive I've done, but I would probably actually say the opposite? I haven't experienced vests on other dive coasters, but I feel I would actually enjoy Krake more with the vest restraints cause the seats are wider to accommodate...

You take that back ?? But that actually reminds me, Zacspins are some of the most re-rideable coasters for me, of course granting that it's less crowded of a day. No nausea no matter how many rides I've taken on Insane or Kirnu, no rattle so no headache, intense fun.

Any Premier coaster with the Sky Rocket trains. The restraints are awfully restrictive, uncomfortable and combined with the seats make loading and unloading a lot slower than it needs to be.

I agree about the force but there's a strange exception to this for me, and that is Kärnan. I kept reriding it all day (barely any queue, esp. later in the day) and I think I rode it 14 times when I visited, a large part of it back to back and had absolutely no issues despite it being among the...

Jetline @ Gröna Lund, no question. Next question.
