    Are GoPros allowed on the coasters in Fuji-Q Highland and Nagashima Spa Land

    Fuji-Q, like most of the Japanese Parks, don’t allow GoPros on rides. Often you’re not even allowed to wear a watch. I was only permitted to use it on the less thrilling Disney rides as well as some coasters at Rusutsu Resort and Brazilian Park Whazusan Highland. And even there, it depended on...

    Theme Parks with the best catering

    Phantasiand is definitely at the top with their food offerings, especially the restaurants Uhrwerk and Rutmors Taverne. Europa Park offers good food as well, just like Efteling. I also really enjoyed the Flaming Feather at Toverland. Internationally, I was really pleasantly surprised by Fuji-Q...

    Which Coasters Have You Had a Zen Ride On?

    Excluding Kiddie Coasters, actually quite a lot come to my mind. All of them between 2018 and 2021: -Wildfire at Kolmarden First Ride of the Day. I took the hotel entrance and had a shorter walk to Wildfire, so the first ride was me alone in the train. -Magnum-XL 200 at Cedar Point On a rainy...

    Legoland Deutschland | Maximus: Flight of the Guardian| B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    According to the German newspaper "Augsburger Allgemeine" the coaster will go briefly upside-down and the riders will sit on the left and right side of the track with nothing above or beneath them. I think the possibilities are high that Legoland Germany will receive a small B&M Wing Coaster...

    Legoland Deutschland | Maximus: Flight of the Guardian| B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    The press release stated that the coaster can be ridden by Childs in primary school, so 6-8+ years old. Even though I would love to have an Axis at one of my current home parks, I think the minimum height could be a problem. More than 1,20 m seems unlikely and I would expect that the Axis has at...

    Most surprising coaster addition ever?

    A few in Europe come to my mind, especially in recent years. For example the small parks in France that almost no one heard before getting a rather big addition (Namazu, Objectif Mars, Vertika). I would also put F.L.Y. up as a contender. Obviously there were rumors about a Flying Coaster for...

    Your Wacky Worm Count.

    Have ridden 4 new ones in Italy in the last few days, so my number is up to 19 now. Way to many around on the European fair circuit 😂

    Dreamworld Australia | Steel Taipan | Modified Blue Fire Clone | 2021

    It helps the capacity of the normal line, sure. But the queue of the spinning car will be very long if a lot of people want to try it. Even with it being upcharged (depends on the price of course).

    Dreamworld Australia | Steel Taipan | Modified Blue Fire Clone | 2021

    In the comments of the video the video creator said that only the second train will have a spinning back car and is currently stored in the maintenance bay. R.I.P. capacity.

    List of coasters with implemented Onride-Videos

    Taiga at Linnanmäki also has Onboard Cams. Really good quality in my opinion, the only time I have bought a Onride-video / photo in years. iSpeed has them as well but the quality isn’t the best.

    Ravensburger Spieleland to add SBF Hamster Wheel coaster for 2021

    Tested the ride last week (thanks for sharing my video by the way). The spinning cars were quite disappointing, even for a SBF Spinner. Almost no spinning with a fully loaded car. Nevertheless, with it being the Parks first real roller coaster, it’s definitely perfect for the small kids that...

    Universal IoA | Jurassic World VelociCoaster | Intamin Blitz | 2021

    I think the double helix in the second half is one of the best parts. Starting with a stall and followed by two airtime moments (wave turn & outward bank) it is an incredible sequence and way better than I expected after the blueprints got leaked 2 years ago.

    World's Loudest Coaster?

    Nessie at Hansa Park. The coaster itself isn't particularly loud, but while riding ist is almost unbearable when entering the tunnel with the enclosed brake run. It isn't the coaster itself that is very noisy, but the small tunnel maximizes it to a level where you think you become deaf.

    Warner Bros Movie World | Various New Vekomas & relocated Intamin | 2024

    Given the fact that they really like to change up the manufacturer, RMC wouldn't be unlikely. Some of the only other big manufactures they haven't tried out yet are Premier Rides, Gerstlauer and GCI. Vekoma -> Road Runner Roller Coaster Mack Rides -> Scooby-Doo Intamin -> Superman Escape S&S ->...

    If you could put any roller coaster in your home park, what would it be and where would it go?

    My home park is Taunus Wunderland. Most probably haven't heard of the small family park, it has a mack log flume, a wild mouse and a SBFVisa compact spinner with the best name "Kuhddel Muuuhddel", it is located near Frankfurt in Germany. Talked to the park CEO during Halloween 2020 and a huge...
