    Energylandia's Future Additions

    Is there a chance of Energylandia picking up some stalled projects again now that there has been a change to a 'Pro-EU' government? Will funding be restarted/unfrozen?

    Hansa Park vs Heide Park

    Hansa! In my opinion Heide only really has 2 good coasters in Colossos and Dämonen, the rest of the lineup is nothing to note. Whilst Hansa's top 3 are all very good, and pretty unique, Nessie is underrated.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I guess we should be thankful it's not made out of polystyrene and plastic

    A trip for the milestone – Germany – August 2023

    Thanks for the report! It really is tragic how poor the offering is in East Germany, to say some of the biggest cities in the country are there. It's still recovering from reunification clearly. But there is hope, Plohn have announced expansion, Karl's have their new (albeit family) 'Bibi &...

    What is the most surprising airtime moment you’ve experienced in your enthusiast career?

    The 2nd bunny hill K2 at Karls Elstal with the lateral twist and unexpected airtime is great fun

    Six Flags Fiesta Texas | DC Universe | Flat Rides | 2024

    It's making fun of millions of avoidable deaths, would it be ok if I joked about the holocaust or slavery? I find it disturbing that a CF admin comments something like that, and has laughing reactions from other admins, whilst also being "wholly united" on other topics which "abuse people" I...

    This is highly disrespectful and not to be joked about. Please remove

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    Trying not to enter conspiracy theory territory too much, but there is the possibility the Saudis have 'come to an agreement' with CP/Zamperla to stop them from breaking the height record. I don't think that's too unimaginable

    What factors determine the length/number of riders per train?

    Station size is one limitation, perhaps a park cannot fit a long train. The layout has to work with the train length, if a coaster has a long train but very tight hills and/or elements close together, the front of the train may already be finished with element 1 and into element 2 before the...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    The recent ElToroRyan video released speculates that the coding 'HP' used for the project could stand for 'High Point' and suggests CP will push to take the world record from KK. I was a little sceptical about Zamperla's involvement when he first announced it, but that seems to have come true...

    Fury 325 Closed - Support Fracture

    I imagine they may just upgrade the specification on the weld, increase the radius by 20% or something, seen as that was the failure point. The rest of the support remains the same and Carowinds will improve their inspection routine to include checking the underside of support connections...

    There's still one planned for Energylandia, right?
