    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I think this is very tasteful. I really like that they got an actual Croatian company to sponsor the main ride in the Croatia area. Wonder how come Mercedes did not have exclusive automobile sponsorship rights at Europa Park?

    Should the BBC Licence Fee be Scrapped?

    I remember being recommended that rubbish by Google. If that's the BBC's journalistic talent they should totally be defunded.

    How Has Your Enthusiasm Grown or Changed?

    I'm just 20 years old, so I am still at the beginning of my enthusiasm. But I can already see some changes. I have already been lucky enough to visit some of the best parks in the world and ridden some of the best coasters. This has made me more relaxed when visiting parks nowadays. A couple of...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    Great answer! That's exactly what I wanted to write. Considering just how tight the new station is, it wouldn't surprise me if riders are already pre sequenced and cleared of loose articles before even reaching the boarding platform. Combine that with lap bars and loading/unloading should be...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    With three trains CP could pretty much always have a train ready to go and I think the station will be long enough to accommodate two trains. Thereby ensuring that a train is always on the launch track and utilizing the ride to the fullest.

    Gardaland- Its Okay!

    You went to Gardaland and didn't ride the massive wacky worm?! You truly missed something there Mammut is a solid mine train and Kung Fu Panda Master has some good theming.

    Energylandia | Choco Chip Creek | Vekoma Minetrain | 2024

    Energylandia might have money issues but I doubt that's what holding Sweet Valley from opening. The area is more or less finished, the coaster has been operational for almost 2 years and keeping it closed massively affects the layout of the park and the flow of guests. Regarding staffing, if...

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    I'm not giving up doing what I love for that, sorry. I will keep travelling the world to ride coasters until I die.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Just saw this Jinma rides Google ad in a news article. First time I get shown an ad from a coaster manufacturer. Are Jinma trying to push the European market by buying Google ads? Seems pretty desperate to me, wonder where this leads. Has this happened to anyone else? Edit: Got another one...

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    That 2002 fire where 15 girls died can by no means be justified or defended. Saudi Arabia is certainly a country with it's flaws. With that said, this roller coaster and park are admirable and it will be up to every enthusiast to make the choice to visit or not to visit. Personally, I will visit...

    Should the BBC Licence Fee be Scrapped?

    We used to have the same thing in Sweden, with anyone having a TV needing to pay it. Regardless if you ever turned the TV on. Those pathetic enforcement agents used to knock on you door ones in a while. It was just one fee per household. A couple of years ago they replaced the "optional fee" fee...

    "Now Showing"

    I'm with you on this one. Interstellar was a very wierd and complicated movie, and I never seemed to care to much about the characters. This made me apathetic to their fates or "saving humanity".

    Quality not Quantity

    Sweden is totally up there. As is UAE, Finland, Denmark and Belgium. Would also put Poland there if you don't count alpine coasters.

    "Now Showing"

    Barbie (tiny spoiler alert) Was at a pre premier for this one. In the cinema there were 90% teen girls, 10% gays and every single person was dressed in pink. The movie itself is stunningly beautiful with a really good soundtrack and great visuals. Though, it moves away from it's comedy to try...

    Energylandia | Choco Chip Creek | Vekoma Minetrain | 2024

    Sitting on the EL bus as I'm writing this. Was at the park today. Exept for the Choco Chip Creek theming, Sweet Valley looks entirely complete. Even ride wait time displays are installed and turned on. Don't understand what's taking them so long to open.

    Energylandia | Choco Chip Creek | Vekoma Minetrain | 2024

    As said there are not. But, drinks at EL are pretty cheap and readily available.

    Hossoland | Poland | Theme Park | 2025

    Agree on that. Maybe a late 2024 soft opening and a full opening 2025?

    Tivoli Friheden | Vindfald | Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter | 2024

    Considering the tiny plot that this will be in, I think it's a great addition. But, this is the third Eurofighter in the tiny country of Denmark. They could have done something more differentiating.

    Rebuild of Alpenexpress and Tiroler Wildwasserbahn Europa Park after major fire.

    That's what I have been tought too. Working in property management, our asset protection policies always come second to life saving. But, we prefer destroying one room, apartment or staircase, over risking an entire building. While we dont have sprinklers in apartments, the fire services know to...
