    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Cool idea in theory, but as mentioned, to get up there you have to climb a 300-400ft tall vertical ladder. I simply cannot imagine a realm where they can get a H&S sign off on that for paying members of the public.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    I don't think this has been mentioned here before, but after some scrolling on social media, I heard that TMNT Shellraiser at Nickelodeon Universe has been shut since  January. Rcdb also have this listed as a note, but not to the extreme of calling it SBNO (like they currently have with Formula...

    The Goony Stats Thread

    I'm sure I've posted some of these somewhere on here before, but this seems like a good thread to do it too, and chat about what I have planned with my Cred Sheet... So we've got the classic Creds by Year chart: Chart of countries: And here's the corresponding table, in numerical order...

    Walibi Rhone-Alpes | Mahuka | Intamin Hot Racer | 2024

    To be fair, that had been the message since Tuesday/Wednesday I believe, so has been blocked off a few days.

    Six Flags Great America | Wrath of Rakshasa | B&M Dive Coaster | 2025

    Ha, that trailer video is really relying a lot on the fine print with those claims.

    JoshC.'s Pursuit to 400 - The Cult of Europa, Hitting 400 and Traumatica

    It's been almost two weeks since I managed to go to Port Aventura World, so now seems like an appropriate time to start the trip report. But before we get into it, I preface with some waffle, as per. My summer holidays were meant to be filled with theme park adventures, with new parks, plenty...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I'd imagine 500ft was sort of thrown around in a brainstorming sort of phase. Like "What if we wanted to build the WORLD'S tallest roller coaster?" "Well, the tallest at the moment is 456ft. So we'd have to beat that...what if we went up to 500ft?" "Saudi Arabia are looking at building the...

    Wait times at Emerald Park

    Yes, quite easily. I went during school holidays in May and no ride exceeded an hour wait time. If it's busy, you will be queueing, but it is very doable still

    WTF Merlin?

    On the topic of Tomb Blaster: I believe the vents end up being opened during hot weather due to a lack of any interior cooling, so is necessary to stop it being stupid hot? Equally though, the ride has been crumbling and rubbish for years, despite the "refurbs". Not that it's an excuse, but I...

    Canada's Wonderland | Alpenfury | Premier Rides Launch Coaster | 2025

    I like it. I'm not a fan of a launch which is basically designed to take you to the main launch, but I understand the reasoning behind it (space, gimmick, etc). But yeah, I just find that a bit...ehh On the topic of it being roll after roll after roll. Yes, that's true. But those rolls are...

    Where is your local park and how often do you visit?

    Thorpe Park is 2.5 miles away from me as the crow flies, 4.8 miles travel distance. Does this make me the CF-er who lives closest to a "proper" theme park? At one point, I lived 1.2 miles away as the crow flies, 1.6 miles in terms of travelling. During that time, I would usually walk or cycle...
