    Why is Scream at SFMM so hated?

    There was definitely grumbling about it's smoothness early on (I remember people speculating about track imperfections/defects on various message boards) , in addition to the parking lot factor, and even complaints about the name. I've not ridden it, but have yet to ride a B&M coaster that I...

    Yeah, I don't see this taking long at all.

    New Vekoma Models in US

    No one is really going to give you an answer to this question. It could be either one, or Herschend, or SeaWorld Entertainment (SWE would be my guess- they've really been diversifying their bonds). I'm not sure what it would cost to build one, but I'm assuming it's on cheaper side of the...

    Kings Island | Orion | B&M Giga Coaster

    Orion as a Dive Machine would also have those garbage vest restraints.

    Volcano removal and possible replacement?

    Alpengeist was built 20+ years ago, and Griffon isn't brand new, either. I think they could have gone with either type without anyone blinking an eye at this point. Just make them taller/faster/loopier/longer/whatever if you're really worried that there are actually people who wouldn't visit (I...

    Volcano removal and possible replacement?

    Would have loved to see a B&M Inverted Coaster as the replacement. At least it looks like it won't be a Dive Machine.

    Your Credit Approach at a New Park

    I recently visited Energylandia. Spent my day going back and forth between Hyperion and Zadra (grand opening- opened in the afternoon), with one courtesy lap each on Speed and Mayan (I had been hearing it was exceptional for an SLC) when their waits looked tolerable. Didn't for a second even...

    Energylandia | Abyssus | Vekoma Shockwave+ | 2021

    A little less excited about this one (I thought Formula was very uneventful), but I'll happily give it a whirl when I find my way out there again. Zadra alone would get me back to Energylandia.

    Six Flags Offers Bid to Purchase Cedar Fair

    This would be the absolute worst.

    Hyperion or Zadra?

    Zadra. Hyperion was great, but Zadra was fantastic.

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    A little weird if they'd go for retaining Gwazi as part of the name if they're throwing a crocodile theme onto this. Did the fabled creature with a tiger's head and a lion's body fall into a watering hole and get eaten by a robot croc? I'm not bothered by it, though.

    Energylandia | Zadra | RMC I-Box

    Oh hai! Sorry I didn't take the time out of my one day at this park in a foreign country that I have limited time in to write a ****ing trip report using this park's absolute **** wi-fi for you. Here I am now! All of the elements deliver- the most impressive looking one (Stall), is probably...

    Energylandia | Zadra | RMC I-Box

    Absolutely fantastic ride!

    Energylandia | Zadra | RMC I-Box

    Just got to Poland today. Holding out hope that they can get this sucker cracking sometime before the 25th. Glad to see trains cycling, though. That is a very good sign!

    Energylandia | Zadra | RMC I-Box

    The last batch of images had people climbing all over the structure. I don't know the intricacies of roller coaster construction, but I'd imagine they'll be wrapping that up shortly, and testing will commence. Anyone remember how long Hyperion cycled trains before it was good to go?

    Energylandia | Zadra | RMC I-Box

    Wow. I've obviously been following along with construction, but I lost hope sometime in June that it would be open in time for my August trip over to Poland. Even as recently as a few days ago, it looked like there was no shot. This news is fantastic, and entirely unexpected. I'm not going to...
