But that would be strange when everything else Six Flags announced in the same announcement appears to be coming to fruition. Do you have any specific reason to believe it’s been cancelled?

Out of curiosity, is anything going on on the site of this ride at present? I only ask because it seems odd that we’ve got a giga Dive Coaster being built for 2026 with track already arriving down in Texas, yet we haven’t heard a peep about this “record-breaking” multi-launch coaster at Great...

It’s a tough one! I haven’t ridden a Butterfly, but I guess for me, it would come down to “does it feel like a coaster?”. If it coasts and feels like a coaster, I don’t see how it shouldn’t be a coaster? Feeling is a factor to me, personally. It’s why I did not count the Ghost Train at...

Am I right in saying that this will also probably be the tallest and fastest inverting roller coaster in the world? If I’m not mistaken, there isn’t currently a 300+ft coaster that inverts. I can’t remember what the current tallest and fastest coaster with inversions is off the top of my head...

If it turns out like that, I think it could be quite a ride! I’m definitely quite intrigued and excited by this project, personally! Enthusiasts love to dismiss Dive Coasters as “one trick ponies”, but I personally love a good Dive Coaster, with both SheiKra and Oblivion loitering in the higher...

I didn’t see anything overly bad, although I could not have been looking closely enough or looking at the wrong post… I still think the most offensive thing I’ve seen on Twitter by far was the comments under Keir Starmer’s livestream of the Universal UK announcement. On a more on-topic note...

Great report @Niles! I went here during COVID, and I agree that while a zoo first and foremost, it isn’t a bad little park at all, with quite a wide range of rides! In particular, I seem to remember Venom being a particularly good drop tower! I’m glad that Rhino Coaster opened for you in the...

Congratulations @Eyebrows; that’s awesome! VelociCoaster is certainly an amazing ride to have as your most ridden!

There is a chance, I feel, that some of the details might be embellished a bit. On the face of it, that does sound like a lot of spend for a park like Oakwood, but the terms used are quite unspecific. Technically, a “dark ride” and “area retheme” would not have to be as glamorous as that pulled...

It’s interesting that you found Toverland a tad underwhelming, as it does make me wonder about the role hype has in our perception of an attraction. Toverland seems like one of those places that is doing excellent stuff for its market, which can sometimes lead to hype getting a bit out of hand...

Congratulations @James F!

Congratulations @Hixee! Was Taiga any good, seeing as Taron appears to be your #2 according to your signature?

I’ve only done Infusion at Blackpool Pleasure Beach of the standard 689m models, but that is truly the bottom of the barrel and deserves every ounce of criticism it gets; it really is vile, and so, so rough! I’ve also done Kumali at Flamingo Land, however. Kumali is a Shenlin model, and that...

Apologies for being late, but I just remembered that I had a series of throughput timings to share from my trip to Blackpool Pleasure Beach last month. Due to relatively short queues, some of the averages were not as comprehensive as I might usually have liked, but the throughput timings I was...

Having never watched any of the prior seasons, I watched the first 4 episodes of Season 4 of Clarkson’s Farm last night on Amazon Prime. Whatever you think of Jeremy Clarkson as an individual, it is surprisingly entertaining for a show with such a simple premise where so little happens on the...

That’s an interesting one! The stance on generative AI changed quite considerably between undergrad and postgrad, I found. At undergrad, I never used it, as I always felt a little like I’d be selling my soul if I did… but at postgrad, the academics have been surprisingly liberal regarding...

It’s encouraging to hear that B&M has seemingly taken some feedback on board regarding the recent rattles; Big Bad Wolf is seemingly a lot smoother than Phoenix Rising, and Wrath of Rakshasa looks a lot smoother than Iron Menace! Maybe B&M’s rattles were just a brief blip rather than a long...

I really need to get around to learning PowerBI at some point. Loads and loads of jobs in the data analysis space seem to want it. I was wryly told by a coursemate of mine that my academic background in Computer Science would mean that I’d “master it in about two minutes”, and I’m hoping that...

I think I’d actually go a tad further @TheAverageJuel… I’d say that the old Intamin OTSRs with the hard plastic are not even that bad either. If you’re talking about the ones like on Rita and Stealth, they honestly don’t bother me that much. They’re not my favourite restraints, and I’d...

Hi guys. On Saturday, Paultons Park announced their heavily hyped-up Vikings area after months of speculation. The new land generated a lot of excitement... but the choice of a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter, Drakon, for the area's headline coaster has heavily divided opinion, to say the least. Some...
