Nah, I am sure the switch track won't align with the station spur until the train ahead hasn't cleared the top hat.

Word-heavy review. All pictures were taken by my good friend and coaster pal Raúl. #482 Batman Gotham City Escape (BGCE) I had the opportunity to ride BGCE multiple times during my 2-day visit to Parque Warner last week. Long story short: the coaster exceeded my expectations. To avoid any...

Top Meh Dragster I hope that Zamperla knows how to deliver this product better than to hide their webpage code.

I love how delusional are the higher-ups at Parques Reunidos. What Mirabilandia should do is bulldoze the area altogether and start from scratch with a ride from a good manufacturer without the use of an IP that really no one cares about.

Have a Six Flags day xD

With four launches, you add way too much ride time, which lowers the number of trains that can be sent per hour. If a coaster needs good capacity it is Dragster. I predict it will only have 3 launches (forwards, backwards and forwards again) and the spike will be around 500 feet just for the...

Cedar Point hiring Zamperla to redo Dragster is also a strange business decision, so I am not surprised by Cedar Fair opting for "creative" yet debatable decisions. We are talking about a park that hinted at a possible giga bigger than Fury325 only to scale it back to a piss-poor B&M hyper that...

What goes around comes around. I am glad that WB are installing a new family-thrill coaster: with this one, their line-up is pretty solid in terms of family coasters. Hopefully this leads to Iron Garou as their next investment xD

Great. When I thought I would never have to go back, they install Europe's only single rail coaster (for now). The park was good but it's literally in the middle of nowhere.

Today Uncharted has not operated at all. It seems that Intamin still needs to work on the ride. Hopefully, soon enough we will be able to enjoy the coaster at full (low) capacity. @Lofty I was not really expecting anything mind-blowing, but it seems that all budget was spent in the facade and...

Apparently, the park has tried to put a second train in operation but it is causing the ride to go down even more. I think we could draw some comparisons between Uncharted's rocky debut and Hagrid's first few months, when the ride had reduced hours and couldn't run (still can't I think) all...

I always enjoy your trip reviews, because you tend to go to remote places and you sprinkle your writing with a lot of humour. These parks are very well landscape, but judging from your trip report they were absolutely deserted. Did you get to ride everything or were you denied riding some...

All B&Ms have big boy seats. I am sure Oz'Iris can accomodate riders with different body types. B&M old-school restraints (not you, vests!) are just <3

Surprised nobody has mentioned it but today the ride has opened for employees and some media outlets. Tomorrow the ride will be open for everybody. As far as I have heard, people are comparing this to Gringott's, although this one has a better coaster section. The first launch is also rather...

Let me post a link to the ride's TV campaign: If you think PA is doing a professional job, how come they are using Parque Warner's Coaster Express in the background on their video promoting their newest ride? Stop at 0:02 and you will see the ride's facade, Hurakan Condor, Shambhala, Stampida...

How much experience does IB have with in-house built attractions/parks? I hope these trains turn out well, but I can't help but think that going to Gerstlauer or getting Mindbender's rolling stock would have been a much better option.

I guess it does not really make sense releasing an animated POV less than a month before this opens, even more so when testing has been going for weeks, and the park could have released a real POV. I am sure when media day arrives, everyone and their dog will be there praising how good/[insert...

The park is teasing a May opening. Some enthusiasts are speculating it might be around May 5th, since all ticket promotions stop at that specific date. Madrid is celebrating its festival around May 15th, so I think it's going to be between the 5th and the 15th.

The backwards hump has been reprofiled this season to avoid that jolt of airtime. That was part of the reason why the last row of each log was roped off: apparently, after the reprofiling, all 4 rows in each log will be available increasing the ride's capacity. As for me, the only ride which...

What is this, Six Flags Orlando?
