A 43 year old employee died whilst doing maintenance work on Taron yesterday. I don't think police have release much yet. https://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/regionales/toedlicher-unfall-phantasialand-bruehl-mitarbeiter-stirbt-achterbahn-taron-w860987-2001151759/

I think like any theme, it's great when it's done well and looks awful when done on the cheap. I think a bog standard western theme is great with the right people behind it, hopefully this falls into that category.

Oh it's... yellow...

This thing looks brutal and I can't wait. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it this year, think I'll have to wait until 2025 but my god am I jealous of anyone going this year.

Looks rather naff I'd say. It looks like you lose half of the speed from the trims before the final splashdown too.

Wasn't in confirmed that they can't be bothered to blend now? Think the current look is a "stylistic choice". Plus I imagine painting before erection is easier!

Lots of good things in that video that genuinely make me very happy. New theming/refurbed rock work and theming around Colossus, flats being repainted, new toilets (great that they are adding gender neutral ones too), Stealth getting some TLC. These are things that have been needed for years so...

Cautious, very cautious... But my god. PLEASE let this happen.

Would be lovely if whilst they’re at it they slapped in some nice new rock work and cleaned up the old theming a bit, would look so much better!

I mean... It's a gothic building for a gothic theme, so it'll fit. I have full faith in the creative team at Efteling that this will look superb!

I know you can't judge from a video online, but it's hard to know what to make of it tbh? Somehow to me it seems both well themed and utterly soulless at the same time.

I mean I'm not strictly saying they weren't... heavily inspired by Vekoma's model, but it's just an overbank, right? It's kinda the most extreme looking element you can plonk on one of these family inverts without inverting fully or having big drops etc.

I certainly wouldn't be upset with a 2ft extension, mine comes nowhere close 😞

Encanto and Indiana Jones in Animal Kingdom? What has either IP got to do with the preservation of nature and the planet? I mean, I won't happen anyway, but still...

Visited Mingoland for the first time yesterday, the addition of Sik finally tempted me… SPITED. The coaster never opened, seems there’s something wrong with a wheel assembly on the back car, they’ve called for an engineer from “Slovakia” but assuming she meant and Intamin one from Switzerland...

Not a new addition to the park but unsure where to mention it. I'm sure many have already seen, but Phantasialand is mid way through uploading soundtracks to Spotify and other services. Worth listening if you haven't already, they are truly fantastic.

Coasters like Shambhala make me want to say straight, but Kondaa's first drop on the back row is so foul that I can't say for sure!

To my knowledge, no Mack coasters of this type have featured scoops/a real splashdown where contact is made with the water. I imagine it'll be a Hulk/Shambhala style splashdown if there is one, which would of course operate for a year before not working indefinitely.

Paint job is awful but I'm glad to see it coming together. I do fear that the repainted station will still look dated against the new track though, but I'll hold judgement on it for now.

It's Thorpe Park, I think we all expect things to be tacky. In fact I'd be more concerned if they pumped out something that wasn't!
