    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Efteling's Droomvlucht (Dreamflight) is looking really nice after refurbishment. With new lighting, updated characters and track. And fixed many issues. It is ready for another 30 years.

    I had to laugh about the face of the woman at 11 seconds. 😅

    Music Recommendations

    I listen to a very wide variety of music genres. But I 'recently' discovered a new band in the Genre Metal. The band's name is psychonaut and in one of their songs, they let the singer/ drummer of my favorite Belgium band (Brutus) sing. And one from another brilliant Belgium band 'Amenra'. This...

    Thing goes way faster than I anticipated. Looking good. Very nice "kiddy" expansion. Edit: but If I am correct. The inversions turn the same way. Would've been better if they did this both ways.

    Like the colours of the track and support. But Love the logo. The font is amazing. Great little extra to this amazing park.

    Worlds of Fun | Zambezi Zinger | GCI (partial) Titan Track | 2023

    It seems that it need some ground clearance before testing. That angle is something. Like the s-bend in the back. Looking good.

    According to the blog. That one will be the same after refurbishment. It is the scene after that one. With the water projection. The water curtain was causing a lot of problems yearly. Here is the full size concept art: click here. Oh. And I really love the change. Judging by the concept art...

    Vekoma building ZigZag test-construction @ Vlodrop

    Little not on topic, but I know. He has great drone shots from Efteling and Toverland as well.

    I came here, to just say this. But the rest of the track, how the two trains dance around each other is really nice too.

    Most Overrated Coasters You've Been On?

    Untamed: I just don't get this rmc-thingy. And in a way Wodan was over advertised to me, when I first got on it. Sure, was a nice, long ride. But one ride every EuropaPark visit is enough.

    I am really liking the Disko-saurus design. Very clever.

    Are there any "old hat" coaster elements that you're sad to see going out of fashion?

    I am very happy that a 'recent' addition to Toverland (NL) was a B&M Wing Coaster (Fēnix) with a large camelback. Although the element not mentioned on RCDB. Really do love this element on this coaster. And indeed hope these don't go away. The one in the back of course 😅 Picture from Youtube...

    Could be something for the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind type of coasters? Looks interesting. Edit: Reading the Dreamworld 2023/2024 topic: It also could be this.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    I am going to make a day of trying these out. Very curious if you even feel the difference.. And about 70% of the blue/ water track is replaced as well. At least, that is what's been told to me. Confused about if the two corners or just one corner will be done. I hear different things on this...

    Thanks, haha. I didn't even notice yesterday. Thanks for your reply. And it is true most people don't know or notice the difference. My meaning of special was more related to the designs. RMC is just another RMC to me. With another company making these hybrids, there is a new look on things...

    Hershey Park | Wildcat's Revenge | RMC Wildcat | 2023

    Train front kitty thing looks weird! This was a CGI right? I just keep wondering why CGI doesn't CGI'd their old layouts and RMC gets to do this over and over. I mean, they have had some concepts and have their Titan track. Is it costs, experience in retracking, knowledge of the customer. If...

    When I look at this, I can't help thinking in a sarcastically Jeremy Clarkson voice: "The Speed!". Wondering if these are going to be very slow inversions. Looking forward to some test videos. Same.
