Absolutely. Big Dipper at Belmont Park (located in San Diego) is very old, I'm talkin 1920s. I would not assume that ride had undergone "safety envelope" testing XD

If you got any cool photos from a park you've visited, feel free to share them here! I took this during sunset at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I'm really proud of how I captured Full Throttle at the top of its loop.

I'm glad y'all are taking issue with this. I've seen too many people glazing B&M saying, "it ain't as bad as an Arrow looper" My issue is, B&M is capable of making glass-smooth rides; we've seen them do it 10+ years ago!

Clever. Though I don't recall the T-Rex being green...

Due to Wicked's immense popularity, I've heard some people claiming it will inevitably recieve a themed land in some Universal park. I'm curious what you folks might think about this prospect. Is it feasible? Is Wicked unique enough? Does Wicked have the same everlasting popularity as something...

United Parks and Resorts are trying to get a "globally recognized IP" for their parks. I wonder what this could affect in the parks. Blooloop News Article

Everyone's going to have a differing opinion on whether a high credit count is required to be considered a coaster enthusiast. But, if you genuinely enjoy roller coasters, I think you are a coaster enthusiast. If people can admire expensive cars without ever haven driven them, I think by all...

Abortion is murder. Any way you look at it. I couldn't sleep if I voted for a president that is pro-choice. I'm sorry if you disagree, but my heart tells me those "fetuses" are humans that deserve a chance to live. Only 1% of aborted pregnancies are from r*pe. I'm prepared to be cancelled...

Gosh dang it, I thought something like that would happen to Jewels of the Sea. But the Atlantis update is exciting. I'll be visiting the park sometime in December. If I take some photos of the construction I'll share it here.

The thing is, I've never been able to discern a rattle on steel coasters. And I absolutely love San Diego's Big Dipper, which is a notoriously rough woodie, so I think it's safe to say rattles don't bother me XD

I can probably guess that you flew all the way to Japan for that, huh? I'm sorry dude, that sucks.

I have been waiting my entire life to tell this story. Probably about 9 years ago, me and my family drove up from San Diego to Simi valley so I could visit Six Flags Magic Mountain for the first time. We were driving to the ticket kiosks when I was unceremoniously informed by my family that the...

Okay, this is interesting. I doubt they're going to add a space mountain style indoor roller coaster, so it's very likely this will be an indoor Mack powered coaster.

I'm not sure if it's going to be an indoor coaster. Honestly, I hope it's a slow-moving darkride themed to the "big bear"

Haha, you weren't kidding when you said, "tintin chapel" I'm glad you decided to climb the Belfry, the view was beautiful!
