Someone visiting the park recently said they spoke to one of the painters for the project. The painter told this someone that it will be all white track & grey supports for the low sections, and alternating red/white track and grey supports for the tower. I would assume people involved are told...

Unsure of the source, but we have PAINT! Grey supports it is!

Great find as always! Perfect addition for them. Quite a big gap between the kiddie coaster & the definitely-not-a-family-coaster in Raven.

I find the modern Intamin trains way more open than the Mack ones. The Mack ones have a much bulkier lap bar & more upper body bolstering in the seat, so you feel more contained in those. Excluding the spinners, the lap bars are also very top-heavy, so in a moment of strong positives, the...

Great! Now let's fix these amateur ass, hack-job transition joints: and a slow-mo video for further enjoyment: How does an engineer sign off on this 💩 ?????? How do you let this operate in this state with public riders?? Mind blowing stuff here.

One of my favorite finds in recent memory: This appears to be a 1987/88 pitch to Dollywood for a new coaster. The options here were either: A) relocate one of the sides of Six Flags St Louis' River King Mine Train (the black pins), or B) Installing a terrain, custom looping coaster with a...

As the park themselves posted, It's back open.

Not really. It's lined up directly behind & inline with the launch track, perfect for a spike but too far offset to be another top hat. I do think that keyring may be a large teaser at what's coming. Could be a hint of the name, possibly Polaris; as it basically resembles a P (in both...

I agree with them that backwards would be better than spinning on this one. I think spinning lends itself better to a launched ride like Icon & Steel Taipan where the force of the launch + the weight distribution starts the spinning. Having done Ride to Happiness, my absolute favorite laps were...

That is an LSM boost, not a trim. I'm not sure if I was correct in putting it there, but it is my working assumption that it physically needs to have some additional boost between the cliff drop & the Arch Hill to A) Ensure that the train makes it over the Arch at all, B) Makes it over at a...

"Its a bit shaky" -> airtime hill hits -> "WOW!" What a perfect summary of this thing haha. I LOVE the look of that first dive element as well.

Yeah I goofed on that one. Stats were similar enough that I figured it could be the other one. My bad!

Photos are Speed The Ride but the stats & description are definitely a Mr. Freeze layout. Weird. Over Texas just refurbed theirs, maybe St. Louis is testing the waters?

Luckily there's no fancy double switch track, drop track, or turntable faff, just a metric o_Oton more LSM stators than usual. I do wonder what kind of black magic wheel compounds this thing is gonna run to prevent literally melting each cycle, though.

Beat me to posting it! 😆 It's downright absurd.

Check this post: https://coasterforce.com/forums/threads/six-flags-saudi-arabia-saudi-arabia-theme-park.42418/post-1152471 All renderings of the train were 2x2 seating, but I believe that the train in post is much closer to/is the actual design.

I don't think top 3 in NA (specifically the #3 spot) is a stretch. I feel like SV & Gwazi are the unanimous top 2, then that 3rd comes down to this, ArieForce, & Lightning Rod. This thing looks REAL good. Can't wait to see proper POVs!

That sure looks like it's got motors & the attachment for spinning, did not expect that!

Great find! Really shows just how damn massive that blue track is. Based on this, I assume that the orange-circled track is the "regular" LSM gauge, the white/tan track on the right is (presumably) Falcon's Flight track (which I assume to be the larger Hyperion-gauge track), and the blue track...

My vote is for SDC. I've been to Dollywood more times than I can count over the last 6 years, so I've seen firsthand all of the tree clearing, ride modifications, & all over the years. I hesitate to call it the "decline" of Dollywood, but it's overall not as great IMO as it used to be. But I...
