Do you think it’s going to open today? I want the credit :cool:

I do agree that a ride if this scale will always have some issues. No manufacturer has enough experience with this size and speed to be able to build it in a way that they’ll run without issues. Pushing the limits does mean that you’re also pushing your own ones. Apparently it is already...

To be clear: I am not making fun of Zamperla because they where chosen over Intamin - but because they where chosen above anyone else. Zamperla fastet ride is 35m tall and their highest speed is 90 km/h. Mack, B&M, S&S, Vekoma, Premier, RMC, Intamin, they’ve all built higher and taller rides...

They’re sold out. That happened already after they reopened in 2022, and took about 6-9 months until they sold them again. That sales period went until ~Eastern this year, so quite long. There is a chance that they’re on sale again when you visit in September, but there is no guarantee. I do...

Not even a week before I go there. Maybe Zamperla wasn’t the best for the job? Nah, their sub-par Family coasters prove that they can do a 420ft ride.

It was yesterday as well, with the exception of 2 pieces of loop and a small piece of track from KdK. Unfortunately my car doesn’t have about space for any of those pieces, I would’ve loved to take care of them :-)

By the way, Superman is running both new trains now. No more U-bricks. Still, sitting in the back will cause your knees to hit a plastic cover occasionally if you’re tall. Batwing area is “temporarily” closed.

So, the drop was good, especially in the back row. Not amazing, but really good. For some reason it felt “short”, but that is 100% me because there is no drop longer than this one. The high speed part grew a bit on me, but it still lacks the insanity of Formula Rossa. I am still quite unsure...

Let’s the how this ages over the next couple of days. Just had my first ride on Fury 325 (front row) and I got to say: It is boring and the online highlight are the 2 small airtime hills towards the end. The first 2/3 of the ride is just full of it doing nothing at all.

They are horrible, pure torture, and should be torn down. They are all bottom tier with a few exceptions: Mayan and Jaguar have the best restraints and are therefore a tiny bit less bad. Condor is bottom of the bottom tier, even with new trains.

RMC has the worst restraints or maybe even trains out there. Yes, even worse than the Volare cages. Why? Firstly, the shin guards. If you are tall, those will constantly push into your shins, even with some wiggle room on your thighs. Every single airtime pop will then result in in full impact...

Using this argument, the RMC restraints themselves seem to be designed by some medieval torture master. Being tall, the shin guards hit me on every single airtime pop so I often have bruises in my shins. To be fair, Premier Rides isn’t that much better.

“and than it goes like this and this and whooooo!!! You’re upside down, this must be the most insane rollercoaster ever!!!11!1”

That was meant for the Monorail that never came to fruition. The building below was originally intended for a Screen base shooter darkride like Toy Story mania. As far is I know, the building is now only used during Halloween for a maze and winter for an ice skating rink.

Rita is nothing Special, but it is fast and intense. Especially the intensity is something newer rides lack a bit, they are just a bit more toned down compared to the older ones. But with us talking about Merlin, my bet is it being replaced with a Revonchon spinning wild mouse.
