    Efteling Replacing Python.

    According to what I read, they are reprofiling the transition into the corckscrews and the remainder of the layout doesn't need much rethinking as it was supposedly rather smooth already. I don't have any trustworthy source though.

    Rank the Star Wars Movies (so far).

    Really liked both teasers. The music, the visuals... I think it looks promissing and can't wait to see the movie. Good trailers don't make good movies, but I'm hopefull about this one. Eslecially knowing how great RO turned out to be.

    Where are you on the spectrum of park/coaster fandom ?

    Are you mostly interested in rollercoasters, or in parks in general ? It is a point that I see being brought up over and over again. Mainly when people discuss which park they prefer. One will argue park A has a better line up, another that park B has a better atmosphere or is better overall.

    Jardin d'Acclimatation (Paris) to add 17 new rides including Gerstlauer Bobsleigh!

    Actually, chantier means construction (site). The article is about how fast the work is going and how tight the schedule is. This is not the name of the coaster. EDIT : The ride should be called "les rockets", which I do not need to translate.

    Yeah, sorry if my message felt harsh, it was not intended.

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    This question has already been answered. All 4 across B&M coasters use the same track gauge. Honestly, why wouldn't they ? That would be completely random and uselessly costly. Plus, nothing, absolutely nothing, points toward a Ziz theme, except shalow fan speculations.

    Your On-Site Hotel Count?

    Only did one, I'm usually more a super cheap hostel kind of guy. It was Matamba. So good to wake up to the sight of a B&M invert in your garden.

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    Because they don't. Fury and Leviathan are standard B&M hypercoasters, with standard gauge B&M tracks.

    Vekoma New-Gen Coasters Discussion Thread

    Because they were clones of the old ones. But Vekoma has no reason to introduce new models with the old tracks.

    Vekoma New-Gen Coasters Discussion Thread

    Vekoma has introduced the SLC with "new style" tracks almost a decade ago (https://rcdb.com/4328.htm). It is safe to bet they want to fully transition away from their old track design.

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    If they even make those any more ... Let's face it, sitters and floorless are the same "model", one just has updated trains. I think the size of that thing is the reason why people say it is a dive coaster. It looks huge. I didn't do any measurement, but I too imediately thought "dive" when I...

    Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

    I was just joking, in a way that was echoing the current discussion about that guy that was bragging about making AT change their website. I have no idea how you could have misinterpreted that. Coasterforce's 2018 new rule : each joke should come with a disclaimer ...

    You made me explore the AT website, and now all I can think of is ... why ?

    Am I that stupid , or is there actuallt two diametricaly opposed interpretation of ATI's message. the "but thanks" may be sarcastic, but in this case, it's not certain at all. It may very well mean "thanks for your post. however, there is a mistake as ... " . Did somemone care to ask ATI the...

    Heide Park Colossos retracking (2019)

    He means RMC are using topper exclusively for their own ground up creations, and doing all conversions with I box only. I don't think this is it though. As I understand RMC don't want to do regular wooden track replacements anymore (which used to be one of their main activities before the...

    Heide Park Colossos retracking (2019)

    I'm sure you know, but I'm not,sure Merlin would give a ****. If they can steel market it as a woodie, and knowing that the visitor won't ever known the difference, the lower running cost and extra gimmicks are probably more important arguments for them.

    Best Introductory Coasters

    Funny, I always thought it was supposed to be the coaster analog of too much X.

    Hotgo Park | Unknown | B&M Wing Coaster & B&M Hyper Coaster | :-(

    Oh, sorry. I didn't want to correct you, I agree with you. I just wanted give my opinion as to why it doesn't surprise me. It feels like the continuation of their previous work. I think they giga feels different because they are more recent models, more than because they are tall. And because...
