Energylandia’s has been canned. Supposedly it’s the one going up at Six Flags Mexico instead right now.

On Friday the 13th, Efteling put up a teaser and concept art for the ”ghost conductor” aka Joseph Charlatan, who will serve as the ride’s host.

Go home, Maurer, you’re drunk

I don’t mean to imply that anything skeevy is happening, just that I think parks like PA and Europa may have an inherent advantage in the rankings by nature of being multi-day destinations for a lot of people. I love going to Liseberg, but as a non-local I don’t feel the need to go there more...

I do wonder if the numbers for places like Europa, Efteling, PortAventura, and Disney/Universal to an extent aren't at least partially inflated by people visiting the parks for multiple days. PortAventura in particular encourages it with how cheap multi-day passes are compared to single-day ones...

Tron Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom will cease the virtual queue set-up and utizile a standard line from September 9th

So apparently Phantasialand has been using AI art in multiple places... :/ https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/26628/Phantasialand-betrapt-op-gebruik-van-AI-kunst-Gewoon-triest.html

Disney's Hollywood Studios is replacing Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy come summer 2025 with a new stage show themed around the Disney villains, as a prelude to Villains land coming to Magic Kingdom in a few years. Racing Academy closes October 7th.

A fire broke out at PortAventura's Costa Caribe waterpark on Monday. An electrical transformer reportedly caught fire next to one of the park's restrooms, causing smoke to spread all over the water park. The area was evacuated, and Costa Caribe is currently closed for "maintenance work" while...

FYI, this is not a photo taken by the park. It’s an image sent in by the winners of the puzzle contest to show off the merch they received. It’s likely just an image of a coaster enthusiast’s living room wall and not intended as a clue.

Tbf, the cause of either incident seem to have been with the lack of proper anti-rollbacks, not so much to do with the restraints. I'll be more concerned if it's going to keep operating without any further modifications to the lift/trains.

It looks more like they moved the block brake to after the turn back towards the lift hill as opposed to removing it entirely. There's what looks to be a catwalk attached to the section of track above the path there: On Tiki-Waka there are two bunny hops before the track crosses under the...

State of Wisconsin have gotten involved in inspecting Zeus after the incident.

A police raid occured at Hamburg Dom Wednesday morning. The operators of the Huss Breakdance Dom Dancer have been charged with embezzling over 1.4 million euros in pandemic subsidies between 2021 and 2022. The funds were supposed to go to repairs to the ride which supposedly never occured, and...

A serious incident occured on Radja River at Walibi Belgium on Wednesday. After shutting down the ride to solve a technical issue, several boats got stuck in the trough and the following evacuation proved to be chaotic, resulting in at least one boat filling up with water and a man falling into...

Mahuka is now ”closed indefinitely” due to technical issues, because 2024 coasters haven’t had it rough enough https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/26470/Frans-Walibi-park-sluit-nieuwe-achtbaan-voor-onbepaalde-tijd--twee-maanden-na-de-opening.html

If you need a source besides QT.com, this was their 2019 opening calendar: https://www.liseberg.se/dec00c2b/globalassets/oppettider/sommar/liseberg_oppettider_sommar2019_web2.pdf And as I brought up, during those exception days the park was a complete ghost town. I can see how from their...

They've never been open for more than two weekends in April. The climate in Gothenburg (where it's been freezing as late as Easter) plus the fact that most of their business comes from families and teens doesn't make it viable. The lone exception since 2018 has been in 2019 when Walpurgis Night...

Liseberg’s CEO Andreas Anderson tells investors to expect cutbacks at the park following the fire and reduced summer attendance (currently 3% below last year’s figures). ”Large investments will have to wait”. Not yet known if staff will be let go, as union negotiations will need to be held...

I'm hearing a rumour that performers for the Disney Jr. Play and Dance show in Animation Courtyard have been given an end date, so I'm going to bank on this going there unless proven otherwise. My best guess is Star Wars Launch Bay gets leveled but the Disney Jr. building stays and is...
