    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    I think this is the most accurate, sensible and valid piece of information we'll get on the situation for the foreseeable future.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Bit of a weird one legally, as it could be argued that the intention wasn't to murder, but rather to cause disruption. Could just be seen as a more complicated form of vanadlism. But it certainly can be argued that it's attempted murder too. Certainly an interesting legal case regardless.

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    This claim astounded me. I did some digging and it looks like you're right. Closest I've found is Sun Park, which has 6 operating and 2 SBNO coasters: https://rcdb.com/5252.htm (so at one point, did have more) I noticed as well that Djurs Sommerland have 8 coasters, 1 of which is listed as...

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    I see your point, but a low-res photo of a construction site probably isn't the best indication of how dusty it will be when the park is open.

    Project Exodus at Thorpe Park; Current Layout (Mack) or Alternative Layout (Likely B&M)?

    Whilst I don't disagree, that doesn't mean anything if it hasn't brought people to the park. If US enthusiasts are jealous, that's all well and good, and I'm sure there's some people who have come over for it / brought some eyes on the park. But in the sense of actually bringing people into the...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    Genuine question: do you think a chain as big as Six Flags will really take that much notice of a regional seaside park, and what the reaction was when they closed a ride? Because honestly, I don't.

    Chessington World of Adventures holding public consultation regarding “current proposals and new developments” - potential new attraction?

    Couple of points to add: This isn't the full planning application. This is to see whether an Environmental Impact Assessment is required prior to the full application. So in the grand scheme of things, we're not seeing much more than already seen (the extra pieces of info have already been...

    Efteling | Spookslot Replacement | Intamin Dynamic Motion Stage | 2024

    I think "Valhalla winning Best Water Ride of a year in which it was closed" does the job.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Hyperia is back on 2 trains today, 9 days after stalling. I also believe that during testing, the ride's lift hill now speeds up when the train is near the top. I guess a "fling it over and hope it doesn't valley" approach!

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    It's interesting as amongst enthusiasts, it feels like there's a certain level of reluctance to blame Mack. If this had been pretty much any other manufacturer (probably excluding B&M), forums and social media would be filled with jokes at the manufacturer's expense. But Mack seem to have been...
