    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    "Verder zal het aquapark in 2025 een groot buitenzwembad openen." "Furthermore, the water park will open a large outdoor swimming pool in 2025." Looks like a fairly pool-y sized hole

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    Maybe that's just the assembly instructions? :p

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Didn't they make a big deal out of the logistics possibilities of the underlying system? Maybe that side of the business is going gangbusters, so they've sacked everything else off and are really leaning into this?

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Grinding the rails at the joints is fairly common after installation, helps smooth the transition from section to section, so I don't think it will an issue here either!

    Icon or Hyperia; which of the UK’s Mack thrill coasters do you prefer?

    While I was waiting in the SRQ, I heard the host at the bottom of the stairs say to someone in an ICON hoodie "our Mack's better than yours" and they replied "...yeah, fair!"

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    What a disappointing shame, genuinely expected better from phantasialand. AI slop is gross and has no place in a theme park. Pay a real artist you cheap cowards.

    Indiana Beach I All American Triple Loop | Quimera (Dreier Looper) relocation | 2024

    The fact they'd cobble together a train of lead cars, rather than invest in a new set of cars, speaks volumes to me. (And is probably why they're having troubles with rollbacks anyway) It seems like they want the recognition of it, but can't really afford to get it to the standard it should be...

    Six Flags / Cedar Fair Merger Announced

    How is differing prices based on home park going to work? I assume it'll be closest to your registered address, or nobody would choose the most expensive home park. Unless you get extra perks at your nominated home park, like free dippin' dots or something? How will it work for overseas...

    Where is your local park and how often do you visit?

    My local park is Flamingoland and I visit roughly once every new coaster

    Canada's Wonderland | Alpenfury | Premier Rides Launch Coaster | 2025

    Maybe they could go the Merlin route and really lean into it and sell "Ziz made me jizz" merch?

    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    Watching the republicans, and Trump individually, lose their minds at being called weird is probably the greatest thing to have happened in years. They really can't stand it, and don't seem to have a comeback beyond "nuh uh!". I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop and one of them to get so...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    When I went in June, the SRQ was faster than main queue but not a huge, huge amount. Plus they were batching single riders in pairs occasionally for some reason, me and the other half were batched together in the last row while the main queue was full, along with our friend who got batched with...

    What was your first coaster to feature airtime?

    Before the fire it didn't have seat dividers and it was a single lapbar across both seats, so there was a lot more room to get flung around! I can't remember well enough if it was Grand National or Rollercoaster at Blackpool that was my first airtime, but it was definitely one of them :D

    Is Hyperia your top UK coaster?

    More of a contrarian than a troll, in my experience! I liked hyperia, but also hated the area and aesthetic 😃 They seem to have got stuck in the mindset of "look how big it is and don't look at anything else". The overall area is a disgrace, let's not beat around the bush. Your eye is drawn...

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    When we were there last week they were lifting debris from the top of the tower, so they're still in demolition/cleanup at the moment I think

    UK General Election 4th July 2024

    When I lived in Pickering, immigration was big news, "they're coming over here and taking our jerbs" etc. when the only non-white people were the family running the Chinese restaurant, and they've been there for decades. Most of the people I know have never been further than Malton, York at a...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I know it's not fully school trip season, but I have to agree with at least the Thursday part. We're here today, and there are multiple school groups in but hyperia has been at a steady 50 minute queue all day! (Barring the start of the day when it got to 100 minutes :P ) Everything else has...
