Normally my gig season starts with Glasto in June but thanks to some weird work schedules this year I've got an early start. Add to that I finally have a new phone that takes good gig photos (Sorry for the black and white artsy shots below) and not just pictures that are entirely blue. I feel...

Theres apparently one coming to Beijing as part of Phase 2 is appears. seems like a good ride to transport over.

The parks are obviously all still stalled. But interesting tidbit. Seems the Jurong/Nanjing park recieved its Vekoma SFC before work shut down. If you are wondering its the same model as the recent SFC that went up in Mexico - https://rcdb.com/20472.htm Which shock horror, was originally...

Looking at this (frankly insane) shot. Are we assuming that square in the cliff face is the tunnel? In a slight aside. I assume that angled LSM track on the right would hold the dubious record of longest launch track in the world?

https://x.com/TheMulletMan513/status/1779601053563961346 Possible prices for this at Clermont. Red track and grey supports. It's the only known B&M that has footers in the ground so could well be this ride.

Don't forget this beast. Possibly my favourites looking double down of all time. Although it doesn't exist in this configuration anymore unfortunately (it was replaced by a normal drop after a fire and now runs as Wild One at SFA)

Oh for sure I'm just playing devil's advocate 😂 Riddler for me is an interesting one as it was partly built as a nostalgia thing for shockwave which had closed 10 years earlier. It's also easily the best of it's kind. It's probably the one ride they have that is the best of it's kind (Tatsu is...

I went to visit a friend at The Florida Institute of Technology (genuine known as FIT) in the early 2010s. It's been fixed now but at the time their campus was split either side of a main road. There was no way to cross this main road via crossing or bridge, instead students were expected to...

It's a good point and for the most part I agree, but you're a bit harsh on a couple of them 😂 sure superman was usurped by TTD but 6 years is an age in this industry. I mean MF lasted less than 3 months before it was usurped. I guess it's a bit of a problem with buying early versions of rides...

That last helix and turn as seen from above is so aesthetically pleasing.

It's insane. Part of that instant gratification thing our culture has going on. I mean who cares if they reveal some cars today or in two weeks time really?

No need to RIP it. Fairly sure its just moved. Can be seen here these days https://www.google.com/maps/@9.5778237,80.4094782,110m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

Interestingly it only takes only half the old Bollywood property. (I assume the shape of the land area may be a sign to Barcelona fans? 😂 )

Damn you Dr Beeching. Woild have been so much easier. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alton_Towers_railway_station

My dad tells me it's because they've gone woke. I tend to ignore most things my dad tells me these days though 😂
