    Disney and Desantis

    As Coasterforce's resident queer conservative, I won't give my personal political view on this whole thing. Although, I will say that I don't like Desantis and his hideous ego. I will give a simple business awnser to @Furiustobaco question. Disney will obviously keep investing in WDW. In...

    Liseberg | Luna | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2023

    First 30 minutes they only sent two VIP trains while the queue was open and completely full. It took about 20 minutes for the first VIP train to dispatch due to most VIP guests needing cameras mounted. At 13:00 it opened to the public. Got a front row ride in one of the first public trains. I...

    Liseberg | Luna | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2023

    Luna has had it's inauguration with ribbon cutting and a marching band but so far no train has dispatched. The queue is full and people around me are getting pretty fed up, leaving the queue left and right.

    Markings around Flight School at Legoland Florida

    Maybe it'll go somewhere else. Doubt this coaster will be scrapped. SFCs are popular rides

    Could modern coaster manufacturers build new rides with single position or ‘buzz bar’ style restraints?

    On many coasters the whole reason to have a restraint is to restrain the riders from their own movements. If riders just sit still, restraints might not even be needed. Rutschbanan at Bakken is an example, while the riders are retrained there is a free standing breakman without any kind of...

    I love it when parks advertise improved coasters together with improved potatoes 😍

    Of Coasters and Parks that Could Have Been...

    Helix was originally planned as a hyper coaster, with the station in what is now Luna Park. Then, a hyper coaster with a launched lift hill. Then, it just became a lunched coaster. I would have preferred Hyper Helix but I am not at all disappointed with what we got. I also understand...

    WTF Merlin?

    Thanks @cookie for the briliant review. Reading it makes me realise even more how lucky we are in Sweden, with well run parks. Gardaland is my favourite Merlin Park. The park itself, is not kept to the same maintenance or cleanliness standard like some other European parks, certain pieces of...

    Liseberg | Luna | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2023

    Got an email from Liseberg Novelty! Luna – inauguration April 22 Just in time for the 100th anniversary, the last and biggest attraction in Luna Park - Luna is added. The attraction is a so-called boomerang roller coaster. With it's 33.5 meter height, Luna becomes the tallest and fastest of...

    RMC and Larson International Merge (!)

    To me it seems like the Larson owner wanted to retire and was looking to sell his company and make an exit. RMC probably got a good deal and took it. I dont think this will massively affect either company but there certainly are benefits to both sides. RMC has diversified and further...

    TusenFryd | Storm | Gerstlauer Invert | 2023

    This looks a lot better than I expected. Might need to make it up there this summer.

    What's your favorite Boomerang model?

    Have done all Vekoma Boomerang models exept for GIBs. I prefer family boomerangs because there are many different versions. The standard and inverted versions are not horrible rides but they are usually bland and risky (never close to a SLC though). Would have been great to see similar layout...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Yeah, that Vekoma is really bad. It has a really bad transiton around the corkscrew that massively beats up your head. Except for that one moment it's actually pretty good. Would be no lose to remove it. Doubt anyone will miss it.

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

    Im curious, what makes you think it's going? My personal though is that they would have torn down more if it, if it was going. They should at least have scrapped the removed track pieces, not left them by the side. My guess is that TTD spike will go over Iron Dragon.

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    This is pure speculation. But I am guessing they would have specific male or female rows on the coaster. Due to the various coaster forces, I have many times by accident touched the rider next to me when riding, especially on forceful coasters it's not rare to get an accidental, leg, foot, arm...

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Honestly, I know more straight people boycotting Saudi due to LGBTQ issues, than I know LGBTQ people boycotting Saudi. I even know LGBTQ couples who have a had a great time in Saudi and really want to go back. Being part of the community myself, I wouldn't mind having to get into the closet to...

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Last month, the Saudi government, announced that they will set up "Riyadh Air". It will be a second Saudi national airline with massive proportions. The plan is to directly take on Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines. They even got Etihad's former CEO to run it. They are even...

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    That coaster surely looks ambitious, especially considering that the huge hill is not even the first drop. What worries me is that they seem to box in the park between a race track and a mountain, leaving little room for expansion. That's not good if their ambition is to build one of the...
