    Tibidabo | Merlí | Funtime Drop Tower | 2024

    The area looks rather bare to me. And judging by other people's pictures the gondola has been in that position for days, which makes me wonder if there are any mechanical issues with the ride. I am not entirely sure if it has even fully tested yet. The park has been extremely quiet on their...

    Ikaros closed?

    Hey, I am going to Gröna Lund on Saturday. Since I have already visited the park, my main draw were Monster and Ikaros, which are the new rides since I last set foot in the park. However, checking the park's website and queue-times.com, Ikaros seems to be temporarily closed. How long has it...

    Walibi Rhone-Alpes | Mahuka | Intamin Hot Racer | 2024

    So, does Mahuka have the same vibration issue like Big Dipper? If so, Intamin have had plenty of time to fix this inbetween installations...

    Six Flags Fiesta Texas | Kid Flash Cosmic Coaster | Racing P'Sghetti Bowl Coaster | 2023

    But how can you mess up a kid's coaster? The SkylineAttractions saga continues... maybe SF can get Zamperla to redo Kid Flash xD

    Six Flags Over Georgia | Georgia Surfer | Intamin Ultra Surf | 2025

    I secretely want them to pull a SFOT and push its opening to 2025. Maybe they can pair its opening up with Kid Flash xD

    Walibi Rhone-Alpes | Mahuka | Intamin Hot Racer | 2024

    This park always hits home runs when it comes to new additions! Despite being quite in the middle of nowhere South France, ever since Compagnie des Alpes acquired the property they have been pouring money in the right direction. Hopefully Mahuka will ride better than the original Intamin Single...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    What has always surprised me is that Euro-Mir is not a true spinning coaster, in the sense that it doesn't really show the true potential of the model since for more than half the layout the vehicles are locked. Maybe with Euro-mir 2.0 they can keep the music banger, the rave spiralling lift...

    Tibidabo | Merlí | Funtime Drop Tower | 2024

    Well, the park just announced on their socials that the ride's name will be Merlí, billed as Barcelona's tallest magic wand. Bit cheesy but it's alright, I guess. Hopefully, it will run better than actual Merlin Parks run their attractions xD

    Tibidabo | Merlí | Funtime Drop Tower | 2024

    And, done! You can already see the tower from many places in Barcelona. This drop tower will have one of the greatest views on any drop ride in the world! I am eager to see it testing, since the ride cycle will feature a stop halfway up the tower, which will provide a nice opportunity to take...

    Tibidabo | Merlí | Funtime Drop Tower | 2024

    The park has posted the following short video on their social media: Odd that they would post this when they already showed the first section of tower already erected with the gondola fully assembled.

    Last Cred Review

    Is it? I have not been on it but its layout looks really bland (not that family boomerangs are overly creative anyway). I am glad you enjoyed it!

    Six Flags Over Georgia | Georgia Surfer | Intamin Ultra Surf | 2025

    It's great to see such great progress on a coaster with a water feature, which at this point will be opening by Holiday in the Park. Well, at least SF can use the ride's pond as an upcharge ice skating ring.

    Tibidabo | Merlí | Funtime Drop Tower | 2024

    And finally we have vertical construction. I was not expecting the gondola to be as colourful as it is, and I am a little sad that there are secondary seatbelts for this one. If it had a tilt feature I would understand, given the unfortunate Orlando accident, but this is as standard as it...

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Phoenix Rising | B&M Family Invert | 2024

    It is rumoured that BGW's family invert will have two. About the swinging, I think people are reading too much into it: this will swing as much as a Vekoma SFC. These models have cylinders that let the train have some lateral swing to dampen forces both on riders and the trains themselves...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    So you keep a ride closed for YEARS to be reimagined and you didn't have time to think about locker placement to avoid turning your new ride into an upcharge attraction? Sure, Jane. Wait for this to backfire.

    Dorney Park | Iron Menace | B&M Dive Machine | 2024

    From the reverse POV I have seen it shuffles a great deal: there are noticeable jolts between first drop and immelman and coming into the brakes.

    Walt Disney Studios Park further developments

    I am quite intrigued by the proposed Lion King area. This would be huge, if well pulled off!

    Drayton Manor Resort Five Year Plan 2022 - 2026

    I think there was a missed opportunity here to bill this as "the most shocking family coaster".

    Bellewaerde Park | Mundo Amazonia | Intamin Rapids & More | 2024

    Aren't their rapids already #1?

    Grona Lund to Expand for 2024?

    The concept art looks amazing! Owning so little land, I am sure that Grona Lund will invest wisely. However, I am somewhat disapointed that they didn't go for a tilt coaster (as rumoured) or even an RMC Raptor, given that their sister park already has one of the biggest RMC coasters on Earth.
