I have tried and failed a few times over the years to get Lakemont Park into one of my itineraries, and I am determined to succeed in the summer of 2024. However, while I am trying to plan and even book my summer trip now, the Lakemont Park website just says, "For 2024 calendar, check back in...

How many of you have used the free shuttle from SWO (and other Orlando locations) to BGT? Was it easy to use, there and back? Convenient? Did it arrive close to opening and leave close to closing? Was it worth it? Any response much appreciated!

What would you say is the loudest coaster lift hill you’ve experienced? I have a pretty obvious candidate in mind, but I want to hear others’ responses first.

I was traveling with family in Europe this summer, and I really lapsed in terms of staying in touch around here. But now I have time for a very quick summary at the very least. The summer was amazing — so many beautiful places! That said, it wasn’t too heavy on the coasters. I believe I got 34...

Last week I visited Adventureland, in New York, for the first time (surprising, since I’ve lived nearby in NYC for decades). I enjoyed it. But I just couldn’t get over the weirdness of the admissions price structure. Adults over 25 years old are charged $32 USD. All visitors under 25 are...

I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I don’t recall seeing it in my years on this forum. A conversation in my current trip report got me curious to ask CFers in general: What are the worst-run parks you have encountered? For me: 1. PortAventura — corrupt 2. Six Flags over Georgia —...

In your experience, how often would you say that Desmo Race at Mirabilandia is open? I have an Italian coaster enthusiast friend who says it’s closed 99% of the time. Would you agree with that? Does it even open at all? Have some of you ridden it? Recently? Just curious as I’m here at the park...

Hello, folks. This afternoon and evening I was at Wiener Prater and I knocked out 14 of the 15 current coasters. However, I couldn’t find one called Auto BergBahn. (By the photos on rcdb I’m not sure I’d call it a coaster, but coaster-count does.) There are no park maps anywhere, and since all...

I’m here in Krakow, and right in the center of town on the bank of the Vistula River there is the Krakow Eye, a large ferris wheel. Well, I just drove by and saw there is a wild mouse coaster (apparently called Wild Mouse) next to it. Anyone know what this is or how to find out? Is it somewhere...

Last summer I did a month-and-a-half-long coaster trip across the U.S. This summer I am doing an even longer trip: almost two full months across Europe. While last summer's trip involved more parks -- 43 were planned; 39 actually happened -- this trip has fewer parks -- 19 planned -- but it has...

All day, on multiple devices, it’s showing about a tenth of all the parks. (It’s not the settings I have.) And on some devices it’s just not functioning at all.

Of course, speed on a coaster is something that can be empirically measured. Less empirical is one’s *sense* of speed. We all know that some woodies that go 40-50 mph can feel as if they’re hurtling at lightspeed given the right conditions, whereas some far faster coasters don’t necessarily let...

I had a great trip to the U.A.E., cramming a lot into ten days (ten including the travel days). We did so much that I don't have the wherewithal to write a proper report, so I will jot down here a "micro-report," a very condensed rundown of what a coaster enthusiast might be curious to know. We...

Wodan, Troy, Joris en de Draak.

Arie Force One, the multi-million-dollar RMC that clearly promises to be wildly innovative and wholly world class in nature, is coming to what is essentially a municipal park/permanent local fair in Fun Spot Atlanta. No one would dispute that this is a shocking development on several levels...

Before Covid hit, I was planning a trip to Poland (and other countries). Of course, I was planning to visit the two main amusement parks, and I was also looking to visit quite a few cultural sites, mostly in and around Krakow. As one does when planning such a trip, I was thinking of logical...

I use the Googlemaps or Applemaps GPS on my phone to get to any amusement park I don’t know, and this works well nearly all of the time. But every once in a while, maybe for one out of every ten parks, GPS directs me not to the visitor parking lot, but to the entrance for the employee parking...

Nearly a year and a half of house confinement and I need a huge coaster trip like I need oxygen. And no three-park trip will do. This requires something a fair bit crazier. Something that terrifies my wallet but excites my heart. It requires a level of unbridled self-indulgence that would make...

Can’t find a better place to post this, so I’ll put it here. My nephew is at Magic Mountain right now, and he just spotted this in front of VIPER!

This is a basic subject, but I was debating this with someone recently and thought there’s no better place to get an answer than here. As is well known, the U.S. is one of the very last few holdout countries still using the imperial system of measurement. Partly in conjunction with Cedar Point...
