    Will speed up the single rider line ;)

    Tivoli Gardens | 3 new rides | 2026-2030

    What kind of attraction was Vertigo and where in the park was it located?

    Efteling | Spookslot Replacement | Intamin Dynamic Motion Stage | 2024

    In the latest construction update in the efteling blog (from March 12) they state "najaar van 2024" which translates to fall 2024. Actually, I was there yesterday and while I got these absolutely stunning views of the fassade and details (those posted above) it also revealed that there is...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Dynamite is reasonably smooth also on the outer seats, so I'm quite optimistic they have already solved the problem (and probably further improved it).

    Absolutely, and I'm sure these ideas must have been on the table. However, I guess CP wanted to minimize the risks and just let Zamperla do the bare minimum in changing the actual layout. Actually, could be a wise dicision from a reliablility point of view but definetly a bummer when it comes to...

    Efteling | Spookslot Replacement | Intamin Dynamic Motion Stage | 2024

    Think I'm in the same boat here, but Efteling has surprised me in the past, so who knows. But what I can tell is that the two smaller buildings (cafe and restrooms) that have already been finished really look great. (I've been there about three weeks ago.)

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

    If they would have rebuilt those wouldn't they have gone for a proper train instead of the lead cars?

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    Yes, some kind of small attraction. And maybe that round structure will eventually get a roof.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    @MagicMountainFan: I'm trying to wrap my head around why it's such big deal for you to leave a park early and why you keep on emphasizing that it's a privilege to be able to visit Europa. TBO, I don't get it. Maybe that's what you call "out of touch". I'd say, I'm pretty much in touch with what...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I really don't like the sponsoring. It gives it some cheap taste. Honestly, I wouldn't have any problem to pay a bit more to enjoy the park without it (I mean, provided the park actually needs it to do those investments). There is a reason I was at Europa only once in the last 10 years while...

    ...and the fastest traversed piece of switch track on a roller coaster in the entire world. Eat that!

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    Maybe they kept the hight record for the next iteration, top thrill three ;D hence the name... Anyway, I actually like colors as well. Just the white an grey looked a bit blunt but now it works out. Trains also look great. Regardarding the height of the spike: As much as I would have thought...

    There is no doubt that the drop down that spike will be epic and I even don't think that an extra 40ft or so will make that much of a difference for the ride experience. I'm just talking about the marketing point of view.

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    From a marketing perspective, going for a 420 ft spike just makes as little sense to me as spoiling those news one day before the big announcement. So either this is an odd choice for getting some extra publicity (and they will actually announce to crack the 456 ft tomorrow) or it's... well just...

    As the video is blocked, could someone who saw it explain and give an assessment of what it implies? I personally find it very hard to believe they are not taking the height record with that spike. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

    ...and in case that delivery has been identified to come from Zamperla, I guess it's another spare part for the wild mouse... 😜

    Well, after all we are talking about a racing *theme* which wouldn't necessarily imply it's a racing coaster anyway. There are coasters themed to flying that are not flying coaster (Stunt Pilot) or coaster that are themed to skiing (Alpengeist) which are not... well you get the idea... ;)

    ...and for exactly that reason, that launch track needs to get a speed hill IMO, otherwise that last launch will feel somewhat dull
