Anything Disney..? Anyway: what really grinds my gears are theme parks that totally neglect the environment of their guests! This is especially the case of Cedar Fair and Six Flags parks where you often find huge open areas consisting of mere concrete. A park does not need to have the...

Yeah, really anything Six Flags cardboard would qualify for worst theming attempt imo. Better just leave the attraction without theming. No one will ever think they're in the DC Comic world by placing a few cardboards portraying Green Lantern anyway.. Cardboards are just plain ugly and cheap!

Ehh what?! This post needs some explanation :P 1) Apocalypse better than Psyclone? I've admittedly never ridden Psyclone, but Apocalypse was one hell of a rough ride >< Can't imagine Psyclone was even worse?? 2) Flying Fish replacing Stealth? Last time I looked Stealth was still operational...

Re: SW San Antonio | SeaWorld Rescue: The Ride | Intamin Lau ^Wasn't Juvelen ~9€ millions? Which would translate into $10 million. Either this ride will be substantially larger (which I can't imagine since Juvelen was already pretty big) or have some extensive theming (more likely). Either way...

Re: Djurs Sommerland |unknown| Intamin Suspended Family Coas Well actually it was the park CEO who stated it in a newspaper interview, and he's quite an enthusiast himself if I understand things correctly! Could still be a minor feature, but I definitely believe it is something that caters to...

This is how I see it too; this design should not be looked upon as a pure dive coaster, but rather a looping coaster with a vertical first drop. I think it's a nice evolution of coasters that the manufacturers and parks finally are looking into the entirety of the experience! And not just...

Re: Djurs Sommerland |unknown| Intamin Suspended Family Coas I agree that it would be a bit bland, and the GP would probably not get it. But it was the only "unique" feature that I could come up with that would make enthusiasts very happy.. I wouldn't say that a pre-show is something that...

Re: Djurs Sommerland |unknown| Intamin Suspended Family Coas Haha, but if you would have written that the park sent you a press release, I would definitely have trusted you :P Ahh, interesting! :--D Any hints to what the "unique feature" might be? :wink: Could it honestly be something as...

Re: Movie Park Ger|Star Trek Operation Enterprise|Mack Launc I know that Movie Park Germany used to be Warner Bros. Movie World Germany. But does anybody know if these parks still have a partnership even though they're run by different companies now? Could explain why they're going for a very...

If I were about to only ride 5 coasters for the rest of my life I would have to factor in how enjoyable they are, how smooth and re-rideable they are and how well the experience compliment each other. After some thought I came up with this list: Phoenix - The first ride that came to my mind...

Re: Djurs Sommerland |unknown| Intamin Suspended Family Coas ^I did write that I trust you :wink: But I would hardly call an enthusiats claim an "official" source; hence the link to the newspaper and interview which make it very obvious that Intamin it is! :--D

Re: Djurs Sommerland 2017 - New Big Attraction So, not that I don't trust Kian, but the local newspaper posted an article where they officialy confirm that it'll be an Intamin: Randers Amtsavis There's also a short interview with Henrik Nielsen, the park CEO, who says that the completely...

Re: Djurs Sommerland 2017 - New Big Attraction So the announcement has been made: https://www.facebook.com/djurssommerland/videos/10153526760361831/ Details in english: Model: family suspended coaster Manufacturer: unknown (but is there any other possibility than Vekoma??) Height: 30m Length...

I would argue that it's the opposite! Of course Wildfire will be close to Gröna Lund, but it's quite far to Liseberg and driving on smaller roads. Meanwhile all of the noteworthy German parks are located in the western part of the country. In fact, you could easily do a new major park every day...

My favourite ever inversions would be: 3) Black Mamba zero-g roll: incredibly floaty feeling throughout the entire inversion! 2) Twisted Colossos zero-g stall: flying through the air upside down is a quite spectacular feeling, no? 1) Blue Fire heartline roll: the most amazing thing ever!! The...

Where did you read that? Could that be the new coaster for Djurs Sommerland perhaps??

I second that! **** hate Vekoma vests! Apart from that there was a very interesting article written by some Vekoma employees in the latest issue of First Drop Magazine. Among other things they stated: "In 2013 Orkanen, a new design of our Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster, opened at Fårup...

Doesn't all modern LSMs work in a similar way? With generators continously charging power to avoid pikes in the electrical grid. At least that's the way Mack and Intamin launches work.

Re: New restraints for Skyrush and Storm Runner (page 2) The restraints of iSpeed are more spacious and can accommodate taller riders, trust me! I had plenty of room while riding iSpeed and found it to be a very comfortable experience, while the restraints of Storm Runner where tight as...

Second that! Only ridden the one at KD, but if the KI version is even better I can't wait to go! Wait what?? :P Can you please explain mr Snoo :wink: I305 is one of the fastest, most extreme ride experiences there is! A unique ride only tied with Batman-clones, and maybe Kingda Ka, in terms of...
