    SeaWorld Orlando | Penguin Trek | B&M Family Launch Coaster | 2024

    Looks like a yawner to me...probably great for the kids though... Seriously what's going on with B&M these days? There's been rumblings about Iron Menace being the same way. Neither of these 2 coasters are doing anything groundbreaking, very strange that the POV's for both have been lacking...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Man if I was him I'd postpone putting a PC together to go ride a brand new coaster almost always, especially considering this is the best one around, and ESPECIALLY if it was on my birthday!

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I'm already slightly over the park continuously referring to the ride as "Golden Goddess" I mean...give it a rest already...it's barely even gold!

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

    Yeah, I really don't understand this decision. Although perhaps it's not another cookie cutter/clone...but the big bulky supports from B&M, a mundane layout...definitely feel like the Vekoma SFC's would be much better at using the available space, and I can speak from experience, those rides are...

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

    Besides Intamin themselves? Who were no doubt the best option when it came to this revamp. I feel like this "cutting ties" with a manufacturer is a bit ridiculous, especially considering Intamin has practically perfected over the past 20+ years exactly what Zamperla installed on TT2. Not to...

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

    Holy crap that thing is FLYING! Is that sped up or is that the real speed? I don't recall watching the off ride footage looking nearly as intense.

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Hmmm...that pic with the trims is really throwing me off...the design of the supports in everything they've shown us had a fairly minimalistic design...and that looks significantly different from what I thought I've seen before...also, I thought both the entrance and exit out of that hill were...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    That fake is HILARIOUS, props to whoever produced it so quickly LOL. From what I've read and heard, it sounds like this is much more a train issue than a track issue. I would not worry about anything significant happening to the track which would effect the ride experience, including things...

    Six Flags Great Adventure | Flash: Vertical Velocity | Vekoma Super Boomerang | 2025

    Honestly I'm super stoked for this installment, probably my most anticipated ride of 2024 in the US. Hopefully Vekoma gets this thing running consistently, I have pretty good confidence that they will, and maybe we'll see some clones at other parks, or some kind of adaptation of this style of...

    Has Pipeline: The Surf Coaster solved the standup coaster's problems?

    I walk from the car through the parking lot to the park entrance, around the park all day from ride to ride, and then I stand in line for a period of time to ride a roller coaster. The last thing I want to do when I get to the ride is to continue standing up, I want to sit down and relax! Even...

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    Park is 3 Monkeys, I don't recall that being the name...but I just had to look it up lol Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil. This ride looks absolutely fantastic...a great pace, plenty of airtime, and the true dueling with on ride interactions and fly by elements really up the ante.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Based of the 2 separate videos posted, it looks like that is definitely going to be the case. Also unfortunately as people have mentioned...unlike Diamondback where there's a viewing area to actually see the water effects off-ride, it sounds like this is barely going to be visible to anyone.

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

    So basically, throw 50% of the trains away and start from scratch. Oy vey. What a f***ing disaster. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

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

    Yeah, I'd agree with you as far as Screamscape being fairly reliable. If I had to guess the bogeys and/or wheels got bent and/or cracked. Only thing that makes sense considering ElToroRyan's latest vid on TT2 (nonchalantly highlighting those very parts of the train), and as far as the time line...

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

    And Zamperla, here we go... Crack in the WHEEL, like the steel frame? Or crack in the polyurethane coating that rides the rails? Very big difference between the two. If it's the wheel, this could be down for much much longer as they might need to design/manufacture new wheels for all the...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    Just read about the 2024 closure...honestly unfortunate, can't understand how a coaster with a relatively basic concept can have such a terrible operating track record. *Sees coaster was manufactured by S&S to save some $$$* Well, duhhh, what did you think was going to happen? Blows my mind...

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

    Hey, thanks for sharing. Really appreciated the in-depth, cut-to-the-chase review. Not surprised about the roughness of the ride...you can just see it from the off ride videos. Really wish that was something they would have considered in designing the trains...especially considering it's all...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Really? Because from what I remember Cheetah Hunt's only inversion was so quick that it barely felt like an inversion to me at all, but I only rode it once...after a couple beers lol Hangtime, IMO, is more like where literally the only thing keeping you there is the restraint, like a sustained...
