    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    From what we've seen so far I'd say it looks rather fab, I'm really excited for this. I do hope the outerbank speeds up a little bit (as I'm sure it will) but it already looks great. The twisted airtime hill after the splashdown doesn't look quite as snappy as I thought it would but hard to...

    The splashdown trims are definitely on, it slows down significantly at that part of the coaster as seen in Silkstone's video.

    Rebuild of Alpenexpress and Tiroler Wildwasserbahn Europa Park after major fire.

    Not sure about the bright blue on the trains but everything else looks marvellous. I remember the blue in the concept art being a bit darker but I imagine this will fade a little in time so it looks like the old trains a bit more. I can't wait to see what part of the park they burn down in 2026...

    Efteling | Spookslot Replacement | Intamin Dynamic Motion Stage | 2024

    Looks absolutely stunning already, I am starting to feel sorry for Efteling though, everything about this attraction is getting leaked prematurely.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I imagine the engineers at Mack know what they're doing so I'm gonna leave it up to them to design things like this.

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    Oh that’s good, others on the German forums said it looked far from opening. Thanks of the update, that puts my mind at rest a little.

    Phantasialand | Avoras | 2024

    Sounds like today and yesterday haven’t been great in terms of availability. Taron running two trains (I think that’s understandable though given the events of the week) but Talocan and Chiapas closed and not looking like they’re opening soon. Does anyone know what’s happening with these? I know...

    A 43 year old employee died whilst doing maintenance work on Taron yesterday. I don't think police have release much yet. https://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/regionales/toedlicher-unfall-phantasialand-bruehl-mitarbeiter-stirbt-achterbahn-taron-w860987-2001151759/

    Drayton Manor | Unknown | Intamin Unknown | 2024

    I think like any theme, it's great when it's done well and looks awful when done on the cheap. I think a bog standard western theme is great with the right people behind it, hopefully this falls into that category.

    Oh it's... yellow...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    This thing looks brutal and I can't wait. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it this year, think I'll have to wait until 2025 but my god am I jealous of anyone going this year.

    SeaWorld San Antonio | Catapult Falls | Launched Flume Ride | 2024

    Looks rather naff I'd say. It looks like you lose half of the speed from the trims before the final splashdown too.

    Wasn't in confirmed that they can't be bothered to blend now? Think the current look is a "stylistic choice". Plus I imagine painting before erection is easier!

    Colossus Partial Retrack (Thorpe Park)

    Lots of good things in that video that genuinely make me very happy. New theming/refurbed rock work and theming around Colossus, flats being repainted, new toilets (great that they are adding gender neutral ones too), Stealth getting some TLC. These are things that have been needed for years so...

    Cautious, very cautious... But my god. PLEASE let this happen.
