    If I had a nickel for every Pepsi-sponsored hyper coaster in Europe... edit: did not notice Projektion made the same meme, oops

    New rides @ small parks

    Huss Top Spin spotted at Adventureland New York! Believed to be a relocation from the German fair circuit, but not sure which.

    Kentucky Kingdom Passholder Survey Names Potential Themed Areas (+ Water Park Reimagining)

    Saw the live announcement of this event on Facebook and heard some rather shocking words. Plus a guy from Herschend saying "the [expansion] plans were shrunk last week" before laughing it off like some supervillain who wants the park gone. No Christmas event ride lineup confirmations (other...

    Grona Lund to Expand for 2024?

    Looks like the expansion is still going ahead and the concept art has changed quite a lot (but still screams Vekoma). https://www.instagram.com/p/C4NlbYDKmAe/?igsh=ZzVjaGg2cW91M3Fs

    More obscure counting sites?

    Then I recommend VoteCoasters. You can't rate the rides you've done out of 10 or anything, but it's an easy way to track what you've ridden. It doesn't count defunct, SBNO or travelling coasters. And you can have any username you want. At the end of each year, everyone's lists are put into an...

    More obscure counting sites?

    I personally don't use it but people give high praise towards LogRide which is a mobile app!

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    @JoshC. - to me, "The grand prix will not operate this year" heavily implies that there are plans to reopen it eventually. Maybe construction for the new ride just requires GP to be closed, perhaps the new ride fits very tightly around it. We will see!

    [Complete!] 3 days at Phantasialand - Day ???: Somehow, forgetfulness

    Day ???: Wait Hold the phone for a second. Re-reading through this, something isn't right. Something feels... missing. That's right. I've forgotten to document one of the rides I did. So Maus au Chocolat gets its own post. It's a super fun shooting dark ride, with a unique shooting...

    Hype levels have absolutely skyrocketed. That video may have converted me into the "possibly better than Hyperia" camp, but we'll see.

    Rides that required a second ride or series of rerides for you to fully appreciate them

    Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland Paris. I was pretty underwhelmed by it on my first ride, with a member of my group also not really liking it at all. We were going past some impressive animated sets but... nothing was clicking. It was very much one of those rides where I was looking at...

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    A recently unpopular opinion of mine is that Black Mamba is, by quite some way, my favourite B&M inverted coaster - beating out OzIris, Nemesis Inferno and Nemesis. While I understand that the non-snap of the corkscrews isn't very satisfying when you're so used to them having that snap, the rest...

    Just wishful thinking. Would be great to see my favourite flat ride model at my local park! And with Slammer's removal confirmed for the end of this year, I'm hoping it gets a replacement of some sort soon.

    Wow the burger king doesn't look great from that angle at all. Hope it's refurbished or you can't see it from the ride area

    Goodbye Black Mirror. Hopefully the queue is reused for when a top spin replaces Slammer

    A New Chapter in China #2 - Part 10: Shanghai & Summary

    Excellent read as always, but can't help but feel like the good old jungle mouses have been a little elusive lately... wondering where & when the next will pop up, but it's easy to see why these larger parks are taking priority!

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach removes Ice Blast - or not

    This is a very funny and very convincing photoshop. Hope it gets replaced with a gyro swing. Proof it sadly still exists:
