    They aren't that bad. Classic OTSR are worse.

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    'New formula for thrills' hinted at a F1 theme, which would fit perfectly to the red, white and black color scheme. Where do the space rumors originate from?

    Fury 325 Closed - Support Fracture

    To be fair that statement is a 10/10 and should remove any doubts the GP have on Carowind's maintenance.

    Additionally, they don't have an inventory of pre-produced spare parts. Instead, each park has to stock the spare parts themselves if they don't want to wait for a new part to be produced and have the ride SBNO for months.

    Universal Studios Hollywood | Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift | Intamin Spinning Swing Launch| 2026

    Here's an even better video because of the terrain work and the speed it conveys: If this indeed gets spinning cars, it might be even more insane than RtH at Plopsaland. 😍

    Accident at Gröna Lund - Jetline permanently closed update page 6

    Actually, that's not my intention. Every rider's partially responsible for their own safety in pulling the restraint down far enough when the operators aren't doing so. We all know that a small gap between restraint and body may as well be large enough to slip through when there's enough forces...

    Accident at Gröna Lund - Jetline permanently closed update page 6

    You're under the misconception, that the restraints were fully closed when the accident happened. But the restraints don't have to be closed to dispatch a train. As mentioned above, they were not checked visually or manually by the operators and people more often than not attempted to leave them...

    Accident at Gröna Lund - Jetline permanently closed update page 6

    Good catch. Didn't see that before. The way that car's deformed, the stop must've been rather impactful though. From what I've heard, there's no automatic restraints check and operators more often than not didn't check the restraints on JetLine, so it would be easy to slip out.

    Rebuild of Alpenexpress and Tiroler Wildwasserbahn Europa Park after major fire.

    You should definitely help the police by sending this clear image of the culprit to the local authorities. According to local reports the fire started in a tech room but didn't spread any further than into the main building. Firefighters were automatically alarmed through a fire alarm in the...

    Rebuild of Alpenexpress and Tiroler Wildwasserbahn Europa Park after major fire.

    Apparently there were explosions heard right before the fire started. According to German Media nobody got injured tho apart from three firefighters (having a light smoke poisoning). Source

    Real Madrid World | Hala Madrid | GCI Wooden Hybrid Coaster | 2024

    Is there any sort of construction activity to be seen or is it looking all the same from outside? The said the Real Madrid park would open late 2023 and I guess we're bound to see some sort of construction and retheming going forward, no?

    Dollywood | Big Bear Mountain | Vekoma Family Launched Coaster | 2023

    Got to ride it only once on our stop at Dollywood May 17, because it was plagued with downtimes and although there's a separate TimeSaver Plus line ready, it isn't open yet. When we arrived at the plaza, it had a 40 minute wait posted and trains were launched pretty consistently, then it went...

    COTALAND | Texas | Gerstlauer Infinity Shuttle (Palindrome) & Vekoma Tilt (Circuit Breaker) & Others

    Well, the accident had nothing to do with Funtime. Any other drop tower manufactured by anyone but Funtime could've produced the same tragedy if tampered with.
