I genuinely thought they had one of these kontiki/rocking tug rides already

^ I love how they zoomed in on the nipple of the statue, very important detail. I'm just astonished by the size of the structure and the ride system, frankly.

^ It was also confirmed in local news that it's getting scrapped and the steel recycled. Nobody wanted to buy it. (shocker).

Ah, a family boomerang because having only one Vekoma family coaster with abysmal capacity wasn't enough. To be fair, it could lighten the load on Kvasten and maybe the lines would be manageable on both.

What's the Goliath problem? Anyway, I'd like to formally apologize to any park who's coaster namings I've made fun of. It seems despite the major drug smuggling port moving from Rotterdam to Antwerp, the Netherlands is still heavily on some stuff.

Obviously we're just too uncultured to realize their grand plan to have the first coaster themed after Blue Flash

^ This post is where I learn Hansa Park has a log flume and flat rides there, lol. It is a bit off to the side and "behind" Kärnan so I'll forgive myself but it is kinda funny that I somehow managed to completely miss that area while there.

Colour/manufacturer wise absolutely, HOWEVER I think there's a comparison to be made between this and Battlestar Galactica, although both coasters are the same "style", it shares the dueling tracks but one is family and one is thrill aspect with that.

I feel like the main gimmick kinda conflicts with Valravn's, but this is sure to be a better overall coaster than that and it's also great to see the chain's halo park getting a modern Vekoma and thus showing an example for other parks in the US to get Vekoma thrill coasters again.

Maurer invested every little cent they could get from pfand bottles they could find around their estate into the spike concept and they won't take no for an answer

Big Bad Wolf 2.0 is a a B&M family invert? Laaame

I'm kinda curious as to how they pronounce Sköll in a Korean accent for this name

Oh wow, how lucky that it was gotten on video! But yes, it looks like it looks gnarlier than it is as it seems the structural bits are still whole and straight.

Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if someone higher up who didn't know better actually hired somebody they thought was a graphic designer, it happens unfortunately that people fill their portfolio with either stolen or ai-generated (ai isn't really accurate for this generative stuff but the...

^ Yup, I don't think removing the shoulder harnesses changes anything, most probably changes what kind (not how bad, but what kind) of injury people get in case of an incident but as taboo as it is to say as a coaster enthusiast this Schwarzkopf probably belongs in the scrapyard. Either that or...

I meeeaaan maybe their classic kiddie coasters and the compact spinners they spam everywhere are known as unremarkable but basically anything else from SBF like their silly attempt at a family boomerang (Verrücktwärts) or their spinners with OTSRs (like Viking Rollercoaster) are panned for being...

Why's it seem like almost all if not all proximity sensors on roller coasters are this specific shade of green, is there a reason for this colour? Do all manufacturers buy from the same supplier company? Is there a reason for the colour given by that company? I've wondered for a while now. size

Granted I've only ridden wing coasters with the vests and dives with the classic OTSRs but the OTSRs requiring less space is kind of the problem for me, cause you're rubbing shoulders with strangers, your arms feel really restricted and it's especially bad if you have particularly wide shoulders...

I live a short walk from Linnanmäki (Helsinki, Finland) and I have a season pass so uhh I go like twice or thrice a week lol It's nice to have a park so close with a season pass cause you can do a lot of those rides you'd fear you're gonna waste time on or get sick on like if you only have one...

The layout with all the wacky inversions and the launch through the mountain look awesome. Still shame about Premier's seemingly unchanged cramped trains with shin guards, but at least the coaster itself looks great.
