    18 year old Killed on Inferno in Terra Mitica

    It's hard to blame the restraints for that one... His prosthetics came off, which isn't a restraint failure.

    Flooding closes Valleyfair coasters

    Re: Flooding closes 3 Valleyfair coasters This is pretty much an annual occurrence, or at least it happened the three years that I lived in MN. Typically the flood stage is past before the park opens for the year though, so that's a change. And yeah, part of the park is protected by...

    Luna Park Coney Island | Thunderbolt | Zamperla

    It certainly takes that last inversion with a lot more speed than I expected.

    Probably nice to mention that both of those are pedal-powered.

    Luna Park Coney Island | Thunderbolt | Zamperla

    Form my experience with blocking systems, I doubt that it will be a block sensor, as it isn't a control point. AKA: The train cannot be stopped there, and then proceed to complete the course. More likely it's a speed sensor.

    2013 Attendance Report

    I know that before the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that TDL was typically #1 in the world... I wonder if it will retake that position, and if so, how long will it take?

    IMG Theme Park, Dubai UAE | Unknown | Mack Launched

    Seriously: It's a Mack, not an Intamin. They don't need such a long lead time to avoid the typical Intamin startup delays and downtimes. ;)

    2013 Attendance Report

    Yeah... If all of the Orlando and CA parks were up but both Sea World Orlando and San Diego were down, and the entire Sea World group was down while all the other groups were up, there is no way it was a generalized drop in spending (like 2006) or the weather. I'm calling BS on that one.

    European SIM Cards

    If your phone is locked and your contract is finished or in good standing, you can usually have it unlocked by bringing it into a store and explaining that you'll be traveling. Unless you have AT&T. They'll try to tell you how much money you can save by using their international service...

    Loudest Coasters?

    It's a different kind of sound than the Beemers or even Superman, but Daidasaurus at Expoland was surprisingly loud. I guess that was a result of it being a 45 mph / 72 kmh Big Apple. :)
