    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    This article states it is clearly leaving other Legoland parks and the one in California has the locations of the new movies too so I doubt it is only due to the prequel stuff becoming old hat. I reckon all of Star Wars is becoming somewhat old hat due to the lack of new ideas...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    And that with a new Star Wars movie coming out. Star Wars merch must really be in the toilet now. Very sad but realistically it is from a bygone era most youngsters don't seem to take to anymore.

    Energylandia | Abyssus | Vekoma Shockwave+ | 2021

    Sound good. Will the Aqualantis area open in April 2020 or later? There seems to be a time line shown in that video around the 27 min mark but it is hard to make out. edit - actually the timeline seems to be off the stuff that is already at the park if I'm not mistaken. Fricken 360p. RCDB...

    Energylandia | Abyssus | Vekoma Shockwave+ | 2021

    I like the approach to the pacing if it is a bit like Taron (obviously not as fast), with the much faster second launch and thus second part being more intense. If Icon had that I would rate it much more. The second launch hardly seems to do anything on there. The only thing that is strange in...

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg | Pantheon | Intamin LSM Coaster | 2022

    :eek: That spike is looking much taller than I thought it would be going by animated POVs. Really like this copper colour we seem to be seeing more of. Should hopefully get to ride this next year.

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

    This is looking really good and I'll probably be riding this before I'd ever get to Time Traveller. I think the Mack launches are more suited to this type of coaster. I find Icon's launch far too slow to get going but for this it seems just right. Mack has got a great looking product here with...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    They were very inventive with the B&Ms they have and still hold up. I also like Galactica but it seems to be a polarising coaster. Not sure how that will work for FLY at Phantasialand. Indeed they are in the same boat. Maybe a Taron esque double or triple launcher would be good for Towers but...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    Astonishing that this tree height limit malarky hasn't been dropped. The theme park has been there for almost 40 years. If Wicker Man had been 50 feet higher would that really have bothered anyone? The closest homes are 4 lines of trees and several roads away. The park also has limited operating...

    Walt Disney Studios Park | Avengers Assemble: Flight Force | R'n'RC retheme | 2022

    How the park originally was conceived seemed quite uniform to me as it was literally just a studios backlot whether that floats one's boat or not. ToT didn't really seem out of place. The Marvel stage area, broken parade route and all the fencing around now do make it a poor theme park...

    Walt Disney Studios Park | Avengers Assemble: Flight Force | R'n'RC retheme | 2022

    It was in the works since earlier this year according to Loopings. With the extended re-theme of Rock N Roller it was probably a good idea. I was worried the Twilight Zone brand would be dropped but this is not the case. Seems like quite a bit of effort/money was spent on this. ?

    Quimera accident at La Feria Chapultepec Magico

    There is a David J Ellis POV from Magnum Force. Even though it seems to speed through those MCBRs more than before and other than the booster lift wheels operating notably faster the coaster itself doesn't seem to be any faster now than it was in 2002. I could be wrong? I wonder if these are...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    I like the colour too. I think Goliath at Walibi Holland is a bit of a darker shade but seeing that in blue this summer was a huge improvement over the sickly green it used to have.

    Energylandia | Abyssus | Vekoma Shockwave+ | 2021

    That doesn't seem like a launch coaster let alone a Vekoma sit down coaster from after 2004.

    Walt Disney Studios Park | Avengers Assemble: Flight Force | R'n'RC retheme | 2022

    Most of the rides in question already play in two different languages. I was pointing out a possible way so that if you queued for 90 minutes for a ride you'd get the version that would suit (if it matters to you). That would include seeing a ride in French if you are a frenchman and not...

    Paultons Park | Tornado Springs | New Area | 2021

    Not been to Paulton's but I've seen several vlogs but indeed before they announced the spinner I was hoping for a woodie as their next coaster. Even if it is a smaller GravityKraft one like the ones they've built in France. Maybe some time in the future this can still happen. It would seem to...

    Walt Disney Studios Park | Avengers Assemble: Flight Force | R'n'RC retheme | 2022

    Nonsense, I never said all the rides need to be completely in English. I never talked in extremes. The visitor numbers have been roughly 50% French 50% from the rest of Europe since 1992. They have 6 Star Tours simulators. 6 entries for Tower of Terror. 4-5 trains for Hyperspace Mountain. I do...

    Walt Disney Studios Park | Avengers Assemble: Flight Force | R'n'RC retheme | 2022

    Hyperspace Mountain is another ride where they could split the queue line into English and French and give you an option for an improved experience with different language for different trains. I think it's a shame the rides are not operating to their full potential for customers like this and...
