    Have you ever self-spited yourself out of a roller coaster?

    Only one I can think of would be Cobra at Walibi Belgium. It was my first visit (10 years ago now!), and a busy day with lots of school trips. Had ridden a Boomerang (my first ever) the day before at Bellewaerde, so it was a low-priority ride. Ultimately didn't get the time to do it, but rode...

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Yeah, for reference, a 603ft drop would 'only ' lead to a top speed of 134mph, assuming no resistances. Given it won't be 603ft, plus friction, air resistance and whatever else it would be lower than that theoretical number and not close to topping Rossa. Another reason for a launch at the...

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    I mean, it still hasn't opened yet. 😉 But hey, I'll hold my hands up and say I was wrong. Fair play Qiddiya. On an unrelated note, I don't ever expect Universal GB to happen and there's no chance it'll ever have any tall, long, world-class roller coasters...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    The set of 3 towers opening next to Baron next year at Efteling will be called Hooghmoed https://x.com/Efteling/status/1939942215238684880?t=pjGpHAZfIEc4G39DYTh1UQ&s=19 Hooghmoed is the surname of the Baron character, which derives from the Dutch words for "high" and "courage"

    WTF Merlin?

    I think with Merlin parks (and likely many others), it's become a lot more difficult to say what the "gate price" is. For Merlin, they specifically focus on online sales now. There's a lot less of the 2-4-1 offers, etc about now. It's all a drive for buying online, which will cost between...

    Universal Horror Unleased - Year round haunt for Vegas

    I wonder if Universal are planning to do something similar in the UK in the coming years, prior to the opening of the park? Could bring more eyes to it in advance of opening..

    Legoland China | Shanghai | Theme Park

    Looks slow, B&M rattle, etc. But seriously, I like the look of it. The tunnel is a fun touch with the lighting too.

    Can a theme park ever be too quiet?

    I feel like there is a cut of point where a park being too quiet can dramatically impact your enjoyment of a park. I visual it something like this... This is knocked up very roughly, and is definitely dramatised. But I think it gets my point across visually. I'll expand and explain though...
