So these days there are a lot of videos of NL creations and pre-creations for upcoming rides out there. Do you watch the video from the beginning, including the off ride shots, or do you just skip straight to the POV?

Curious about this since I dont think I've seen a poll like this. The two Jutland Juggernauts, similar numbers of attractions and coasters. Is there a clear winner?

Following on from the worst spite thread. Just wondering, are there any rides out there you watched the construction of, were interested enough to want to ride for many years, but the park shut down the ride before you ever got to visit. For me Hypersonic XLC and the Penguin dark ride at Sea...

Until 1am Saturday, you needed a negative test result to cross the border into Queensland, which was too much faff for returning a weekend away, so I’ve stayed put in Queensland since mid last year. But On Thursday this happened: So with that requirement gone, I made a snap decision to head...

Im not trying to dab on Oblivion , I'm really not, but I've been thinking. (like it's really fun) Baron 1898 does a much better job of being "all about the drop" than Oblivion. Let me go back a step. Oblivion objectively has the worst dive machine layout...Ok maybe Krake comes close but...

Just wondering, are there many world records for coasters that seemed to defy logic and never made sense? A couple have stuck out to me. 1) Eejanaika reportedly held the world record for the most inversions, at 14. Now, quite blatantly, the ride only has 3 track inversions according to...

Just wondering. What is the steepest coaster with a pure drop that doesn't rely on a holding brake or eddy current brakes to regulate the movement of the train. I want to know because everything from Dive machines to Takabisha to Screamin Squirrels cheat by using devices to soften the G's on a...

I've done plenty of overseas trips, helped by the fact that my sister lives in the US (And even Mum and Dad were working over there for a few years), but I do like exploring domestically. In 2019 I turned 30 and realised that I had still yet to set foot in Tasmania or the Northern Territory. I...

What parks are examples of parks primarily focused on : - presenting a good little themed microcosm of the country they are in - not getting stale or scratching for tenuous things that suit the theme - Not feeling cheesy A few that spring to mind: Dollywood – It’s in the American south but...

So I was pondering this with the news of the UK getting their 2nd 10 looper. Are there any countries or areas that seem to have a disproportionately high number per capita of a certain ride type compared to elsewhere? Japanese parks seem to beat everyone in terms of giant ferris wheels and sky...

Something I was reflecting on from my travels. At one end of the spectrum you have parks like Blackpool, Phantasialand, Tivoli, Universal Singapore etc where the park is very interlocked, with very little green space, a lot of emphasis on buildings and architecture (Often it feels like you are...

I've only just got in from the airport now and am now Back home in Brisbane. Given the tyranny of distance, I tend to do my coastering in a month long annual binge, and this time around was Germany, the Netherlands, and a tiny little addon to Copenhagen that I had the opportunity to do. The...

Something I was pondering in the lead up to my trip to Germany....Are there any bad Schwarzkopf coasters? I don't think I've ridden one I didn't enjoy or found uncomfortable...

I'm in the process of trying to pick up the remaining coasters in Australia, with the added degree of difficulty of including carnival ones in that figure. Some enthusiast friends from overseas meant it was easy to arrange a weekend trip to visit Adventure Park, Gumbaya World and Funfields...

I was in India for 10 days at the start of December for a wedding of a school friend (He was born there, but grew up in Australia, but had the wedding back in India for the convenience of relatives etc) So I took the opportunity to visit Adlabs Imagica, a park around 70km southeast of Mumbai...

Movie World are apparently getting a new coaster next year. It was known that the park submitted a planning application for a roller coaster: :angel: and at the same time RCDB put this up: https://rcdb.com/13637.htm But stuff is actually happening now, with foundations being dug in a bit of...

This one has sort of slipped under the radar a bit, but Movie World in Australia just had opening night for a new area called DC Super Villains unleashed, featuring an Intamin suspended Twin Hammer called Doomsday Destroyer. The ride is as you'd expect for a typical looping starship ride, but it...

So, I’ve just returned home from a 3 week stint over in the US, and naturally did a few theme parks. The first week I spent with family in California, but for now I’ll jump ahead to the east coast part of my trip since im a bit sick of CA. I flew into Richmond, VA from LAX. Crossing the US is a...
