Some of my mates at CoastersWorld.fr are currently visiting Walibi Holland to film a documentary there :)

Wouldn't surprise me to see a pre-opening of sole sort before the official date :)

I believe this will be a fast chain-lift hill (6 meters/s), named 'Power Lift', similar to Tornado at Bakken.

No you're not ;) Found this in my old archives:

Actually the spinning Wild Mouse issue is quite contentious. From my understanding, Reverchon signed a partnership deal with Zamperla back in the 00s which allowed the latter to sell Reverchon-manufacturer spinning Wild Mouses. However, Zamperla reneged on the deal at some point, and started...

Really sad to see Notre-Dame's spire go in flames :'(

In this interview I made at EAS 2017, Vekoma Vice-President claims their company indeed designed the 'drive system' for Wildfire as part of a cooperation between Vekoma, RMC and Kolmarden. Not many people watched the interview admittedly, but that's maybe where @CrashCoaster's assertion comes...

Remember the Giovanola Tilt and Twist coaster @roomraider mentioned earlier in this thread? Promotional footage from the defunct Swiss manufacturer has surfaced, including some tests of a scaled-down Tilt coaster model! Apparently the uploader works for the Monthey town council - the city...

Isn't it like Crystal Wings' second repaint now? I remember it first had faded orange colours. It keeps getting flashier as it goes for some reason.

Some signs announcing a new attraction for 2020 were spotted at Nigloland in France last week: ('Devinez le nom de l'attraction' means 'Guess the name of the ride' in French 'Noisette Express' = 'Hazelnut Express'...) The signs were located behind the Wacky Worm coaster of the park, which...

More local TV news on the ride! Also:

Haha when I saw in notifications you tagged me in this thread, I immediately knew you'd be referring to when we met in Steel Vengeance's Q! No worries, I'm not being offended ^^ That day, fast-pass-free, I ended up whoring Maverick which had absolutely no line at all at the end of the day...

Local French TV report ;)

Regarding paid-line-skippers, for me it's situational. I don't have an exact cost/benefit analysis, but it depends on: - How expensive is it? - Is it really useful? - Is there a ride that I'd really love to marathon? (Lech Coaster <3) - Is it included in a larger, otherwise attractive bundle...

Agree intensity is most often better, and I can't think of a coaster that would have been better had it been less forceful. Having said that the comprehensive factor that makes a coaster great in my eyes is how dynamic it is. Just doing series of extreme back-to-back-to-back ejector hops sounds...

While like @CrashCoaster I'm not overwhelmed by this new design, I still think this brings refreshing variation on the standard formula of 'Loop, Zero G, Immelmann' seen on so many B&M multi-loopers. Curious to learn if indeed the layout is sold, as it would go against the fashion of building...

@CrashCoaster Original source of your post is Le Forum du Futuroscope (kudos to them btw). I suspect once again StarParc.be is leaving things ambiguous by putting the source name next to 'photo emoji' instead of using the standard 'Source: Le Forum du Futuroscope' pattern. Once again I'm not an...

Great report already! Surprised by your thoughts on Battlestar, as I only previously heard praise about Cylon especially. Looking forward to future updates :)
