    Big One Re-Tracking @Pleasure Beach

    Theme parks are a business, the Big One is iconic to the park, and the general public love it. And so do I - there are many better rides obviously but it's a classic. They keep replacing track because doing anything else would be pretty stupid. RMCing it or something sounds like a good idea...

    Flamingo Land generally make wierd decisions in my experience though, lol.

    WTF Merlin?

    I'd guess with that sign that they're going to have the sign re-vinyl'ed in a way that will make sense with the screen.Or they'll replace the aluminium panel around the screen at a later date. A job being done by multiple people but not at the same time. But yeah that looks bad haha. This is...

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    Nobody really knows, but from what I think and hear about this, it sounds like these sorts of things happen with projects all the time. Perhaps part of the process with something this big. Plus due to the Virus stuff, i imagine a lot of SeaWorld's management operations have been limited which...

    Was not expecting this project to be so awesome until it started going up.

    I could see Flamingo Land rush to get it open to be honest, but who knows. Can imagine painting it would take quite a long time and they obviously cant do testing at the same time.

    I'm late to the party but my thoughts on the painting is that when you paint a coaster, it needs a long time for the paint to cure. And the way coasters are assembled usually involves straps being wrapped around track and supports. This would probably remove big sections of the paint during...

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    Good to see the trains arrive and the track being painted. I was worried for a moment they'd somehow keep it faded red and horrible yellow. I think the green train(s) would look fine on a black/grey colour scheme. I wonder if there is a 2nd train - the park that ordered it could have only...

    I suppose its packaging -maybe to keep the foundations spaced away from each other. Looks like the square supports take up less room. The last roll into the station also has one. It is curious that this ride has mostly square supports too, i dont think you see it too often.

    I'm guessing a lot of that brown is actually surface rust and not mud

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    Tbh i'm starting to get excited for this. Even though it's nothing amazing, it is quite a wierd story to finally see this coaster going up after its been sat in carparks around the world for 8 years lol! Who on earth decided red and yellow was a good colour scheme though; hoping they paint it...

    WTF Merlin?

    Merlin parks just give me an aftertaste of toiletwater these days :(

    Best moments on awful coasters

    The Ultimate for me is a combination of "Ouch, this hurts so much" and "Oh my god this ride is mental and I love that it exists"

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    So excited for this. I've only done Twisted Colossus and I absolutely loved it, this thing looks like it'll be crazy. And Busch Gardens is one of my favourite parks so it's going to make me super happy next time I go when Gwazi 2: Electric Boogaloo is done.

    IOA | Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure | Intamin LSM Launch (Dragon Challenge replacement)

    I'm super hyped for this ride. Just the level of detailing in the theming and the fact it's an Intamin gets me all moist.

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    This rumour is so wierd, but Flamingo Land do make wierd decisions and always have. I used to be a big fan and would visit a lot, but their recent removals, installations and bizarre choices leave a lot to be desired. Hero for example. They ripped out that old seaside area which a lot of...
