Reading all this makes me wonder about one thing. What is the proportion of the downtime because there is an issue and the downtime just because the security systems do their jobs and stop the ride ? I mean, a dysfuntional sensor, a train stopping an inch further than it should do, a train a...

You're right, it was originally meant to open next year, as it is for its "twin" at Walibi Belgium. Unfortunately, the park is located in a protected forest, the forest of Ermenonville, so studies had to be done to evaluate the impact on the nature. Moreover, the underground of the area is...

Hey Everyone ! For maybe 2 months now, some friends and me are working on a theme park on Planet Coaster. We went for a park like the Buschs Gardens ones, as they are not overthemed like the Disney's or Universals ones, but quite pretty nevertheless. As we wouldn't make a pure copy, we...

For my own, the choice is quite simple regarding a coaster I like but others don't. It's Poseidon at Europa-Park ! Ok, the first bit is rouch, but I find it more tolerable with the new seatings (they've put seatings like Atlantica rather than benches) but I still have a good moment when I'm on...

Go home Mack, you're drunk ! Except for the 1st one, that I found really cool (in all the way I guess :p)

Yeah, but for the Cedar Fairs parks, it's one mega and one giga coaster each time. You may have a point for Energylandia however. And yes, it didn't cross my mind, but as a maintenance point of view, it sure will be helpful !

I'm still very confused about that coaster. I mean, of course, we've already seen coasters with the same coulours scheme within the same park. But, isn't it the first time we saw a parc build the same model, with the same colours (duelling excepted) ? Moreover, is there a parc with 2 similar...

Am I the only one to think it could be a thing for the revamp of Piraten in Batavia ? I mean, we know Mack like to have their rides in EP (even if it's less accurate these days) but, for the park and for the manufacturer, it would be a great thing to have this new ride for Piraten, isn't it ?

IMO, I would say a new train is more affordable than a new ride. Moreover, for the ride, you will have the ground work, the electricity to make it run, it has a cost on every ride it makes. Except for the wheels and maintenance, a new train must not have very high maintenance costs ... But, I...

^ Hum, France do have a few of edutainment parcs indeed. And one of the main reason is pretty simple.... In our dear country, lots of people sees theme parks and attractions at childish. Not in the good way I mean. In the other hand, theme parks in France ( and also globally I guess) are very...

Ah, and I forgot to mention. The coaster will NOT have square-based supports, like some recents Intamin creations, but smooth and pretty round-base supports, like the good ol'time !

As I'm french (and living about an hour and a half from the park), I've read the project document, and there's a lot to say ! 1st, they don't just open a coaster just to say "we have a coaster". It's an educational park about volcano, and all sorts of events like storm, earthquakes and so...

^ Oh yeah ! Would be more disrespectful than removing the coaster !

You may have a point here. As for my personnel experience, I can't remember exactly the frist time I rode Zeus, but il might be between 2005 and 2010, so when the ride was only 10 years old approximatively, and it was fab ! It has just huge airtimes and a great sense of speed, while also...

^ As it was voted f the best wooden coasters of Europe bu European Theme Park Awards in 1999, 2000 and 200, and same in the Mitch Hawker's Wooden Roller Coaster Poll, It is fair to say it has been really good at some point.

I just totally agree ! I love Untamed @ WH, who is the only RMC I've ridden to this day, but Tonnerre de Zeus is a brilliant woodie ! Sure, it shows its age now, and it is too rough to be fully enjoyable, but if it comes back to its former glory, it will be a very good coaster, full of forces...

Mine was Rocn'n'Roller Coaster at the Walt Disney Studios in Paris. Wasn't not aware at all it has inversions until we get at the hotel lobby and see on a tv the train going through the corkscrew. I remember being a bit freaked out, but mostly hyped to go invert. For the record, I didn't...
