    Alton Towers New Flat Ride?

    I hope they add theming to it. Talocan is only as popular and viral as it is cuz it has the amazing theming. I wonder if they’ll even bother with water fountains here.

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    They are hardly a failure, they drew in huge crowds for years and years and have more than likely earned their keep substantially over those years. Again, before everyone jumps on the “This is such a bad move by the chain”, maybe wait until we know what the actual announcement will be regarding...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    Surely they wouldn’t build another shuttle coaster after they’re finishing up construction on one? 🤔

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    I’m gunna wait until the new ride announcement to be too annoyed or worried. They may just expand KK and reopen the drop towers once it’s open again, but don’t want to give anything away yet?

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    I can’t work out if people are being sarcastic or not about an image of a gate. Are we genuinely reaching that far to think it’s a clue??? 😂 It’s an image of a viking gate, to indicate a viking themed area. It looks like a gate because it’s placed over a temporary work gate. It’s really not any...

    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    Couldn’t we have had a fun distopian USA? Something more Hunger Games and less Handmaids tale, at least then we’d have an interesting reality TV show to watch out of it every year. Oh well, Blessed be the fruit I guess.

    Project 305 - Intimidator 305 "Transformation" to Pantherian

    That’s because they’re all in the same jungle “themed” area, and are being renamed accordingly.

    Dragon Khan's support connectors?

    I seem to remember they’re ball and socket joints maybe? Many of the older B&Ms have similar.

    Matt N’s Excursion to España 9th-12th September 2024 (PortAventura Park/Ferrari Land)

    Just to warn you today Matt, it’s the National Day of Catalunya, which is a bank holiday in the region, if you wanted to get an express pass, today might be the day to do it. Baco is an interesting one, avoid the outer seats on the back row at all costs unless you truly want to see why people...

    Mystery new attraction at Dreamworld Australia

    I think the last thing a place that has already gotten a bad rep for a water ride should do is buy one from Intamin.

    Matt N’s Excursion to España 9th-12th September 2024 (PortAventura Park/Ferrari Land)

    I’m in resort this week too! The park seems both busier and suffering more closures today. I’d be interested what you think of some of their ride operations, they can be a bit abysmal, especially Furious Bacon.

    Alton Towers New Flat Ride?

    To be honest, the new Nemesis theming they have added makes the area look like X sector 2, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it were for the top spin.

    D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event Parks Panel | 10/08/24

    An interesting move to go for the live action Lion King, rather than the beloved animated film. I get that they’re pushing the live action with an unnecessary prequel, but mehh. Certainly the most exciting stuff to come out of Disney in a very long time, and it’s nice to see they are finally...

    Intamin Gyro Swing coming to Blackpool Pleasure Beach?

    They also have over the shoulder lap bars instead, which are much better!

    Why does the South West of England lack major or semi-major theme parks?

    While not a specific “Theme Park”, the south west has the Eden Project, which is arguably a sizeable attraction that fits into the same “day out attraction” bracket that theme parks do.

    Walibi Holland | YoY | RMC Raptor | 2025

    Ah I wasn’t aware, I’m basing this all off of just watching the POVs and what people have said. How have SFFT been upgrading WW do you know?

    Walibi Holland | YoY | RMC Raptor | 2025

    Part of me hopes they go back to manufacturing the track like the did with the first couple. WW and Railblazer both seem to be pretty smooth, but the newer ones all seem to hit each track joint. Does anyone know why they changed this?

    Formula Rossa SBNO

    Almost unbelievably so.. how on earth does it reach speeds of 85mph? It’s shorter than Hyperia, which has a vertical drop, yet somehow faster by 5mph. Something tells me Kennywood have rounded up.

    Formula Rossa SBNO

    I feel like Ring Racer shouldn’t even be considered as an operational rollercoaster considering it opened for 4 days. 😂

    (Why) Are big coasters becoming more rare recently?

    I think the easy answer to this that everything is much more expensive. Land, Steel, Timber, labour, you name it, it’s more expensive. Late stage capitalism has also made company’s lazy. They want more profit from less resources, more shareholders to appease. So why invest in a giant coaster...
