I hereby pull out the pin that sticks this thread to the top category of the subforum.

I decided to split the posts about a new coaster into a different thread. The event that initiated the process of replacing Cobra was a tragedy, and I feel that discussing the new attraction in the same thread that discussed the accident wouldn't be right. There's something that feels...

I, on the other hand, am quite surprised it lasted as long as it did. Never heard anything good about it, no matter the angle of approach. It sounded like a quite mediocre ride that cost the park a fortune and was a hassle and a half to operate.

This surely must have been one of the last coasters to open in 2022. I was initially concerned the thread title would be inaccurate, but no: the coaster opened on December 22: www.facebook.com/gumbuyaworld/posts/pfbid0aKszVH1cmo68oeEbGuWKDZ1VJedYkz9YVb5tfuJQASQqkHzCKEH4CPE3TaYWQMuWl

- Coaster count at start of 2022: 43, I think? - Coaster count at end of 2022: If the above is correct, then 44. - New coasters ridden in 2022: One. - New parks visited in 2022: Zero. - Park visits (number of days) in 2022: Two. - Best new-to-you coaster: HuriHuri, by default. - Best...

It's being worked on! I just had a supremely busy November and December last year, so the results will be out in January instead.

Sounds like the type of offer they'd put out, confident that no park that actually has a 400 ft. coaster would ever take them up on it.

Any guesses as to how long it will stay open? I'm half tempted to suggest it will be SBNO from March or so.

Not that different from Boomerang coasters having a lift on their second spike, though.

How does their claim of having the world's first single rail racing coaster stack up to Desmo Race? Granted, that abomination rarely works as it should, and even when it does it's a bit crap, but it races and has only one rail.

It looks phenomenal. Gotta wonder how Disney plans to respond to this too, by the way.

Now we've got an alt-account signup hanging in the moderation queue, though. Wonder if Nicky will be banned again if I clean that one up. Eh, I'll continue ignoring it in the hope that Hixee will fix it.

On the contrary, I'd say a launch coaster would be a good fit. In particular, a swing launch. Those take up less space than lift hills, after all, and can bring the train up to much higher speeds. Apart from the initial launch spike, the coaster doesn't even have to be tall. Look to Ice Breaker...

I love it. It's as if someone said "Just because it's a family coaster, why should it have to be short and crappy and over in a flash? Let's make one with some duration to it!"

Hooray, I won't have to update the thread title! At least not until we figure out what coaster type it is.

Hmm ... now, what's my list, again. Based on a quick assessment of my memories and the need to get something posted before midnight, I'd say ... 1. Helix, Liseberg 2. Expedition Everest, Disney's Animal Kingdom 3. Balder, Liseberg 4. Formula Rossa, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi 5. Piraten, Djurs...

Interestingly, every option in the thread poll turned out to be the correct one in the end.

I'll rather take Pipeline: The Surf Coaster than Surf: The Pipeline Coaster. Also known as Ultra Twisters, these Togo creations were ... well, they didn't have a very good reputation, to put it like that. EDIT: or am I confusing Pipeline coasters with Heartline coasters? Anyway, there's also...

If I recall correctly, the plot largely centers around time travel, also known as the death knell of any franchise that doesn't specifically revolve around it. Time travel is an universal ruiner of plots, unless the time travel itself is the plot. Because if time travel can undo past events...

Wait, did you actually read The Cursed Child? "Royal, unholy mess" wouldn't even begin to describe it. I know Fantastic Beasts is bad, but Cursed Child takes it completely off the rails.
