I can't see a date anywhere on that page that's more recent than 2015. Is this confirmation or just a restatement of what's happened so far in the process? This image was in the moderation paper from 2015 showing what they planned to do, slightly higher res than the one on the council page :P...

If I'm understanding the translation, the council has agreed to the expansion and now they're going to sit down and work out where the park can expand? Or is there a development plan already agreed?

Because Facebook are annoying: https://www.coasterforce.com/forums/threads/instagram-links-not-embedding-anymore.44495/ Have you tried ctrl + f5 to force a refresh? The site runs a bit faster for me since they moved servers! I'd kinda forgotten about this ride, it doesn't seem as interesting...

I wonder if Phantasialand are running 2 investment plans side-by-side, a status quo one and one in case they get the expansion they want. They could run concurrently quite happily for a while, but at some point they're going to diverge. They might be going 'careful' at the minute so they don't...

Have you got one of those vacuum sealers? Could you seal one and post it? I feel the tiny village pain too, our closest one is close enough to be tempting but far enough to not be worth the hassle :P

Grand national at Blackpool It used to be a fun, rough and ready woodie before the fire, then KumbaK came in and ruined the whole thing! Or at least the controls system. Not sure why they seem to have so much trouble parking in the station, but at this point it's just a bit tragic every time...

I genuinely cannot figure out how this managed to happen? It's like the train stopped on the roll backs but the second car's bogey kept going? Either way there was a fair amount of force to pull it off, and bend the front bogey and catwalk.

Back row of Colorado Adventure at Phantasialand, down into the tunnel after the second lift! The cars are surprisingly roomy and have a single lapbar, so you can get launched if you sit with the right person!

Is it going to be fenced off or is going to be like crossing the road during a marathon? Wait for the group to pass, and the marshall to give you the signal to run across?

It's not really a special effect per se, but the kitchen trommel in Hotel Tartüff is the only that's genuinely made me feel ill!

I reckon they would have experimented with splitting the big lift into two blocks to get 2 extra trains, instead of just 1 if it was one big lift. I couldn't see why not, they're no twistier than anything else the trains traverse! A lot of the transitions on Schwarzkopfs are already pretty...

Come on, you can't all tell us that Kondaa can be a play on words and then not tell us what it's a play on!

There's an extra lift before the immelmann, cobra roll, and then the zero-g exits back onto the original lift to do the normal layout like nothing happened :P How insane would a 9-inversion travelling coaster have been? :D

Hmm, I wonder if it's going to sit on the support grid like a traveling coaster, or are they going to add another layer of concrete over top?

"sent"! I love these skits, I'm amazed other places didn't jump on the bandwagon for a bit of social media fame! I got sent the video of (teddy) bears on Untamed by friends & family that have no interest in theme parks, let alone overseas parks. If a British park did it, I might have managed to...
