Meanwhile, in the Darkest Timeline: Neither park gets access to the Potter IP. Universal isn't able to compete with Disney's new expansions, and the lack of competition means Disney doesn't try to up their game (with lands like Pandora & Galaxy's Edge) or continue to innovate. And the worst part...

Congrats @Eyebrows!! I did win the auction for Kingdom Coaster’s original control panel indeed, I’ll send a picture once I’ve got it set up at home.

I'd go with Intamin, choosing the following coaster types, with layouts similar to (or perhaps even clones of) certain pre-existing variants: Giga Coaster - Intimidator 305 Hyper Coaster - Skyrush Blitz Coaster - Velocicoaster Blitz Coaster (with Swing Launch) - Toutatis or Pantheon Megalite -...

The Voyage's two halves, separated by the MCBR, are similar to Steel Vengeance's halves in my opinion; the first is composed of several large, drawn-out hills and a few wide turns, which is very enjoyable, but doesn't feel too exhilarating or intense - while the second throws and slams you...

In no particular order: - Montu's batwing - Kumba's death roll & cobra roll - Storm Runner's flying snake dive - Wonder Woman's Late Down Raven ("dive loop") - Alpengeist's cobra roll - Copperhead Strike's 1st loop & jojo roll - Mindbender (Galaxyland)'s back-to-back loops

Talon is my favorite coaster at Dorney Park. I'd liken it to if Afterburn and Great Bear had a baby - you have the intense, low-to-the-ground bits of Afterburn, mixed with the floaty and graceful parts of Great Bear - which makes for a really solid B&M invert overall, one that I prefer over both...

Awesome! So glad to hear that! I'm going to Six Flags Great Adventure 2 weeks after media day, so I'm really glad that Jersey Devil will be open then! I'm just hoping the lines will be manageable - would love to get lots of rerides at Great Adventure.

The "dive loop"s on Jersey Devil and the Raptor prototypes are called "Late Turn Down Raven"s. At first, I just thought this was a fancier name for a dive loop as well, but after riding Wonder Woman, this element is actually significantly different. At the top of a Late Turn Down Raven, the...

Yeah, this model really does seem to be directly competing with Gravity Group's family offerings. If the model layout had normal wooden coaster track, I'd definitely have confused it for a Gravity Group, not an RMC - the layout itself feels nearly identical to a Gravity Group's. I'm hoping that...

From the renderings alone I would've guessed the best element to be either the first drop, banana roll, Step Up Under Flip or that airtime hill immediately afterward. I'm also not surprised that it's significantly more intense than Time Traveler - I expected it given the much tighter...

I remember it also being mentioned that those 15 rides included rides that were SBNO but not removed across the chain, so I wouldn't be surprised if both Tidal Waves are a part of those 15.

What was the best element on The Ride to Happiness in your opinion? How does it compare to other coasters you've ridden (where does it rank among your favorites)? How intense is it? Sorry for bombarding you with questions, I'm just really interested in hearing your opinions on this coaster.

I personally love Skyrush to death, but I know plenty of folks that hate it. As for how to ride it, the only thing I can say is try not to get stapled? Obviously you don't want too much room (you really feel those -2G's), but the one ride that I found Skyrush pretty painful on was when I got...

Was their 5 year plan posted anywhere? This is the first time I've heard about it!

I also heard something along these lines, but I wrote it off immediately, as sounds too far fetched to actually have happened. It would've been way too similar to ICON, with the only difference being a few extra inversions and spinning cars, so it would have barely any marketability that ICON...

I've always been interested in Blackpool Pleasure Beach, as I'm fascinated by hyper-compact parks, such as the aforementioned Pleasure Beach, Grona Lund, Indiana Beach and Galaxyland (seriously, it's much more compact than you might think if you haven't been there). I took a look on Google...

How about Hypersonic XLC?

I always knew the second half of Velocicoaster was going to be incredible, but wow, that first half is so much faster than the testing made it seem! I'm really looking forward to when we get better POVs of Velocicoaster - I can't wait to see the raptor paddock rockwork and greenery in full...
