New rides @ small parks

[Boodangy]

Horribly

Oh wow... That absolutely CRAAAWLS into that second lift hill which with the transitions just screams more friction than should (you saw this with those ancient chinese SLC copies, they would crawl into the brakes because they crash and bang throughout the coaster) be there. If I rode this as a park exec I'd be sure not to go with SBF for anything bigger than a figure 8 spinner.

Edit: Also interesting design decision to have over the head lap bars like an intamin multilaunch?

Winnoland will be opening a Vekoma junior coaster Kalypso model for 2025, they also have a Zamperla magic bikes themed to dinosaurs coming next year.

Nice coaster for this small park and i like the train design concept.

Norwegian Cruise Line has announced that their new Aqua ship will include the world-premiere of Wiegand’s crazy Slide Coaster attraction when it launches in April 2025. The slides use an actual roller coaster track to push boats from behind and accelerate them up an single incline.


See the concept below from about four years ago;

You beat me to it…I was gonna put a post out as soon as the announcement of the ship went out. I might as well show you all what the whole ship looks like anyways:

God, all those NCL ships are hideous

To be honest, I'm not that big of a NCL fan, Royal Caribbean is my forte, however Norwegian Aqua has seemed to change that along with Norwegian Encore!

We’ve got a very dead ghost returning from its grave now.

India’s Wonderla chain is currently constructing a new park in Odisha, set to open next year. It’ll include the former mountaintop Twister Maurer spinning coaster from Habtoorland in Lebanon, which shut down way back in 2011. A bunch of the supports have been fixed to handle the flat terrain.

Seabreeze Amusement Park in Rochester, New York, is getting a Zamperla Windstarz for 2024. It's the first new attraction at the park since Time Machine, a Technical Park Super Miami (Wisdom Genesis style ride), opened in 2017. The Seabreeze Flyers, a Bisch Rocco (now Larson) Flying Scooters ride that opened in 1944, is being retired to make room for the new attraction. Source

What a bummer. I'm happy the park is getting some investment, but as a local removing the (now) best best ride in the park for a windstarz is not what I want to be seeing.

Rye Playland's new "Jack the Puppeteer ride" looks stunning!

Kinda cool to see Polyp rides finally making their way to the US. A few parks (Dorney, WOF?, CP) still have Monsters, but these being able to load all at once are definitely an improvement. SFA had one and Great America might still but that's basically it

Load time instantly improved 100000000000%

 

[bigmac1789]

Yes, I agree, but overall they are way more comfortable and ops don't have to lift the foot well. My thing with Monsters is the sitting position, It makes me feel claustrophobic a little bit.

Windsor needs that, at first I thought the concept art WAS of the hill down to the park from the entrance of Windsor!

@bigmac1789 - Jason Pennypacker, aka New Jersey Coasters, replied to our Facebook post that it's not a Doppelmyr attraction. Where did you get that info?
