As someone with an interest in railway history and preservation (I'm also active as a volunteer at a local heritage railway here in the Netherlands), I must admit I'm quite pleased to see how they've done this. When the park first announced their plans to convert the steam locomotives to run on...

Falcon's Flight clone on a concrete slab?

Come to think of it, I had this exact thing happen to me twice with the Vekoma Boomerangs at Walibi Holland and Belgium. Going into the cobra roll on the way back I got such a hit on my neck that I had trouble turning my head for a good two weeks, multiple appointments at the physiotherapist...

Storytime! About a month ago I was at Universal Studios Japan. What a place. It was my first time at a big boy park like Universal, Disney, etc, so it was quite a lot to take in. I was expecting it to be a difficult day to enjoy because of the insane crowds this place pulls in March, however I...

Funnily enough it's my number 1, Flying Dinosaur at USJ

That rockwork looks great!

In my eyes they already were the best pick for these coaster projects, however this ride absolutely reaffirmed it. The only company that's a serious competitor to Gerstlauer in this market is Vekoma with their relatively new LIM coasters, the rest of the industry is playing catch-up (or aim for...

The thing looks absolutely brilliant. When I first saw the early renderings I wasn't too sure as I thought the placement of the ride was a bit odd. But now with all of the theming (and the water!) in place, it's really come alive incredibly well. They've definitely become one of the top dogs of...

So can someone tell me what the actual difference is between a BigDipper coaster and a Stryker coaster when it has 8 seater trains?

Serves them right

That double down drop is going to be mental backwards lol

Wow that blue is very... blue? Looks nice! Very Six Flags colourscheme, but it definitely stands out!

I assume the single rider queue splits for the two coasters later on, probably right before going into the station to save space on unnecessary queueline. The station doesn't have a central loading platform, like Joris en de Draak at Efteling for example. In order for the SRQ to reach both...

Well the coaster had bright red track and blue supports when it was constructed for Energylandia. It seemed like these colours would be kept when it was brought over to SFM, possibly with a Harley Quinn theme which would've worked very well with those colours. However, now the supports are gray...

Do we know when and where these trackpieces and supports were repainted? The parts that arrived in Mexico still had the brighter shade of red on the track, I'm unsure if any supports had already been delivered when it was redirected north to Ohio.
