    Gröna Lund | Monster | B&M Invert | 2021

    Thank you for the POV @FABH - this truly does look extremely graceful and just pure bliss! The world needs more coasters like this... nothing overly serious or trying to exist just to be a record breaker - and there must be something to say for that.

    More bites of Big Apples: 2023 - Gull & Hull

    The photos were working early this morning when I had a quick browse on my phone; however the photos are now not showing on my work PC.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Future Predictions

    But maintaining attendance is equally as important as trying to get more people through the gates? I really don’t think you can class it as a flop just because there wasn’t a sharp rise in attendance figures - there is far too many other factors involved. A flop in my eyes would be when the GP...

    Plopsaland de Panne | The Ride to Happiness | Mack Xtreme Spinning Coaster | 2021

    That’s a really lovely angle! I’m really excited for this - even if it does end up being 2022 or even 2023 before we can safely get over there without mush hassle.

    New (temporary, hired) flat rides for Alton Towers

    Fits in there rather nicely, fingers crossed there is a more permanent additions added soon. I’m also hoping the opening hours are sorted soon - as its the main reason stopping me from thinking about going mid week.

    Accident on Splash Canyon

    BBC also have an article on the ruling. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-56426318 "During a sentencing hearing at Stafford Crown Court on Thursday, Mr Justice Spencer said: "This was an utterly tragic waste of a young life." He added there was "no prospect of the fine...

    Fantasy Island (UK) | Spinning Racer | Maurer Spinning Coaster | 2021

    I’ve not actually managed the trip up to Skegness yet; so this is a welcome addition - plus I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for these little spinners. Fingers crossed the new coaster at flamingos opens this year and I can do a combine trip to tick both parks off the list.

    Why do smaller theme parks in the UK seem to struggle more than similarly sized equivalents abroad?

    Adventure Island, Southend was given a few million in funding in 2017 from the government - so it’s likely other parks might of had some at some point. https://democracy.southend.gov.uk/documents/s10623/Appendix%202%20DRAFT%20-%20Industrial%20Strategy%20Consultation%20Response.pdf

    Why do smaller theme parks in the UK seem to struggle more than similarly sized equivalents abroad?

    I personally just put it down to the overall cost of running a business in the UK. Labour is expensive, insurance is expensive, energy is expensive and land rent is expensive. And probably the most important thing, the cost of building is ridiculous expensive in the UK. Combined with the fact...

    Parc du Bocasse | Orochi | Vekoma SFC | 2021

    Love the station fly through! More parks needs these, nothing overly serious , just great fun. Dare I say it? This would make a great replacement for Spinball at Alton Towers.

    Walibi Belgium | Kondaa | Intamin Mega Coaster | 2021

    It's the trains which let Hyperion down, it it the 2 across seating, it would greatly improve the experience.

    Yep! Same order as these two.

    World Fairytale Land | Hainan China | Theme Park

    Wow! That’s something else - the drop out of the mountain is going to be insane.

    Plopsaland de Panne | The Ride to Happiness | Mack Xtreme Spinning Coaster | 2021

    This coaster certainly is looking to be an excellent addition to the park, along with the mega coaster at Walibi Belgium - 2021 is looking very positive for this little section of Europe. Fingers crossed Brexit and Coronavirus sort themselves out....

    Kingda Ka v Top Thrill Dragster v Red Force

    I'm in the camp of not having done any of them, but based on Stealth - I think Red Force would be my favorite based on the fact I prefer gradually LSM launches over the Hydraulic launch system. And secondly, I have no desire to ride Top Thrill Dragster or Kingda Ka.

    Movie Park Germany | Movie Park Studio Tour | Intamin Multi Dimension Coaster | 2021

    Thank you for the very informative post @ParaJumper. It's a very odd coaster, which i'm sure will fit in well for the park and i'm looking forward to following the the rest of the progress over the next couple of months or so.

    Walibi Belgium | Kondaa | Intamin Mega Coaster | 2021

    The non inverting roll is starting to bug me a little; from some angles it looks mega and from the angle in the post from @KristofWB - it just looks so drawn out and completely out of place. I am looking forward to actually riding it and then the aesthetics kind go out of the window then.

    Yomiuriland | Lipovitan Rocket☆Luna | Gerstlauer Inverted Coaster | 2021

    @CrashCoaster - thank you for your post and for digging through twitter for the photos and info. It's a really odd coaster and although it's one I'll most likely never ride; I'm intrigued to see if we will see one in Europe -especially if @Matt N thinks there is a possibility TusenFryd might be...
