An alligator will crawl under that. I don't think anybody has said this yet - if Disney built a pond in Florida, why was it not fenced off properly. If there were no alligators in it when they built the pond, a good fence would keep them out.

I also really liked Rip Ride Rockit's non-inverting loop, which Maurer were the first to build. The loop shaped lift on G Force at Drayton Manor was interesting as well, just a shame the restraints try to chop you in half.

Wow thats strange, it's not even a new thing. There is a ride in the states where screaming is banned.

Re: Terrain Zierer for Rodelparadies St. Englmar Why? At least it's the tubular style track and not the type they used to use.

Yes let's agree to disagree on this Sent from my XT1068 using Tapatalk

Looks like its being scrapped based on the picture. I'm confused because looking back at the accident it sounds like the anti roll back was at fault, not the track. What a disaster of a ride! Sent from my XT1068 using Tapatalk

Sorry for going on, but I do feel quite strongly about this. If it's true that orcas roam over dozens of miles in the wild then I would say the tanks are small. There's no "intelligent line". I make my opinions on a case by case basis. Service dogs don't perform tricks like at SeaWorld. They...

You're ignoring the fact that animals are of different intelligence. Humans are the most intelligent, whales and big mammals are also quite intelligent compared to insects, plankton etc at the other end of the scale. You can eat meat, use leather etc and still quite rightly against keeping orcas...

In that case I can't comment on the level of care SeaWorld provides, when I visited I avoided the shows altogether. But, as Sandman has said, my main point was that you'd probably need a tank the size of Orlando or bigger in order to properly recreate a natural ocean environment for these...

Thanks for keeping us updated! So many rides is a big gamble, hopefully it doesn't fall flat when it opens.

The fact that these are massive animals which from the sounds of it would roam huge areas in the sea are being confined to a tank within a theme park is what makes it different from a zoo or a dog show. I'm generally against zoos and keeping animals for viewing (and saving endangered species...

Really can't understand why they're doing this, especially with stories like this http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/al ... ix-6893427 :(

Yep, looks like one of the most ambitious Chinese coasters yet. Whether it will actually be any good or not is another thing entirely

I agree with you completely on this. But its still ridiculous that they are delaying the announcement and might change the name because of this. I don't think it's poor taste to announce the roller coaster after his death, especially since it was him who caused his death, not the park. If...

There is a reason why restricted areas are restricted... I can only imagin how traumatic an experience it was for the riders of the train.

It wouldn't surprise me either, but I don't know how a park like Cedar Poit could pull it off. Giving people headsets, adjusting them etc would take ages. Boarding a roller coaster wearing a headset would be difficult as well. Surely this is just too slow for a Cedar Point ride? Maybe it would...

So just saw photos of the invitation to the launch event - it's actually a cardboard VR headset with a slot for a phone. Whats important is it says record-breaking (obviously, it's Cedar Point) and history-making. On the back it says "All will come into view 8/18/15". A VR coaster would be...

Yeah, it is amazing but I'd happily trade it for a few months if I got to try Nemesis backwards. They never turned Swarm back around.

I doubt it wouls be pleasant, but Nemesis backwards is something I'd try given the chance. And the temproary rotation of the back row surely shouldn't be a problem for enthusiasts?

Thats pretty much how I feel about Flamingo Land too. I suppose it would be a good day out for someone who likes zoos, but the amusement park just annoyed me. The operations are awful! Mumbo Jumbo was good, but it always had a long queue - even on the quiet days I was there. I would have taken...
