There are lots of seemingly unsubstantiated posts on social media saying Nighthawk won't be reopening again at Carowinds, some examples: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15f7A4zLm5/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Carowinds/s/e3sPvnuIOD https://kicentral.com/forums/topic/49137-rip-nighthawk/ While...

As reported here by @TPoseOnTantrum , Six Flags Over Texas have reportedly closed La Vibora, it's already showing as "removed" on rcdb: https://rcdb.com/99.htm It originally opened at Magic Mountain in 1984 and is the last of the five Intamin Swiss bobs in the World. I suppose a relocation is...

I just noticed that according to rcdb, Formula Rossa has been SBNO since 22nd January: https://rcdb.com/4485.htm The Ferrari World website confirms that it is closed until further notice: https://www.ferrariworldabudhabi.com/en/rides/formula-rossa More trouble for the super-fast roller...

A question that just randomly occurred to me (as so many questions do) is what age did my coaster count overtake my age. Turns out it was when I was 14 and my French Exchange family took me to Disneyland, Space Mountain (with the original Jules Verne theme back then) became my 14th coaster...

Hi all, this was posted on Facebook by @FOMO Coaster this morning, it doesn't look like a topic has been made yet: https://www.facebook.com/254765528749165/posts/pfbid02fpAB9g6atMknDBJih4SauhUx1SLXj8aEGLCZbrnz4KCqHhznA91g1c6p8Q1J3cDql/ The location seems to be near the sea in the North, so it...

I finally made it abroad and got my first international creds in 2 years, and I'm so chuffed I'm writing a trip report! The Netherlands has been top of my list to visit since Untamed opened, and having never visited Toverland, it was impossible to resist. So I waved farewell to my (extremely...

Another topic for those of us who love to play with our spreadsheets - I recently added a "scale" column to mine, mirroring the rcdb scale field ie. Extreme, Thrill or Family (rcdb also has Kiddie but it's unclear what the distinction is between Family and Kiddie - in fact some wacky worms are...

I thought it might make sense to have a general topic for us to report whatever dismal cred runs we've been doing to stave off the madness brought on by lack of creds. I posted my Hastings trip in Last Cred Review topic here since I didn't think it was worth creating a new topic for, so that's...

I can't see a thread for this already for some reason - perhaps the venn diagram of coaster enthusiasts and football fans only has a very small overlap between the circles...? Anyway, after last night's game I can't really think about anything else today, even roller coasters (!). This is the...

Wicksteed Park becomes the second in the UK to go into Administration since the lockdown: https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/wicksteed-park-company-goes-administration-2885236 Not one that I would have predicted. I hope the historic water chute survives - I was spited by it on my...

Hi all, I'll be in Berlin while the Christmas markets are on this year, and I'm pretty sure some of them have creds but I can't find any solid information about what rides are in what locations around Berlin. I've seen a few pictures of Hollenblitz and a Wilde Maus at Alexanderplatz, so that...

I'm currently on my 9th visit to Angola and I have finally managed to bag a cred here! Parque Ulengo is on the outskirts of the capital city of Luanda; it has one major coaster and one kiddie cred. I attempted to visit with a colleague on a Saturday last October but found the park closed. Since...

Not to be taken too seriously! We all enjoy praising or condemning a ride's colour scheme, so what's your favourite of each colour? I reckon: Red - Extreme Rusher Blue - (half of) Twisted Colossus Yellow - Superman Something Spanish (I'm going to count the colour of the rails here) Green -...

I am currently enjoying my first visit to the bewildering, challenging and wonderful country that is China. Thanks to @gavin and @HeartlineCoaster whose previous trip reports and info have helped me know what to expect here and plan accordingly. This isn't really a cred run; I'm here with my...

"Designs for a new attraction on the site of a former seaside theatre have been unveiled. Dubbed Flamingo Land Coast, the entertainment complex is due to be built on the site of Scarborough's Futurist theatre. Designs include a 60m-high "Cliffhanger" ride, a rollercoaster, and a four-storey...

Talk over on the Hakugei thread about leaving old track in place after changing a coaster's layout got me thinking about where you can still see evidence of defunct rides at parks, or parts of coaster layouts that have been changed. Here's the most obvious example from the UK: There's also...

I think this merits its own topic now rather than a page or two in the WFT Merlin thread. These posters have appeared around the park: (Credit TTSP) I think we can safely say this will be in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory building and utilise the boat ride. Whether they will also...

Hi all, I haven't posted any trip reports on here before, but I went to Hopi Hari near São Paulo in Brazil at the weekend which is one of those parks that most enthusiasts will have heard of, but not many will have visited, so I hope some of you will find it an interesting trip report! First...

I reckon it's time for this list topic. I have done 6 Mack Launch coasters, the ranking is actually pretty easy: 1. Helix - Liseberg (obviously) 2. Icon - BPB 3. Blue Fire - Europa Park (better theming than its clones below, plus that interaction with Wodan) 4. Velociraptor - IMG WOA (BF clone)...

Hi all, so I imagine I am not the only one here who keeps a collection of park maps, my question is how do you store them? I just have mine in a shoebox which isn't very satisfactory as they're all different shapes and sizes, some only fit in longways etc and trying to find maps for a particular...
