    COTALAND | Texas | Gerstlauer Infinity Shuttle (Palindrome) & Vekoma Tilt (Circuit Breaker) & Others

    Unless they have financial problems I dont see why they would wait. If they already have the rides, it's better to put them up and make cashflow, instead of owning rides that are kept in boxes and only cost money. This seems pretty fishy to me. Maybe they are redoing their project and want to...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Let's get to some smaller news. In Gothenburg the last weeks have been a **** storm regarding the massive underground train project that is being built. I have talked about it before in the thread. It's a three station underground rail project. One station is under the Central Train Station, one...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    For me this is not a right wing/left wing debate. It's just my personal belief that people never should be referenced by derogatory words such as nasty. Calling people such a word does dehumanise them, which in my opinion, no human deserves. This gets even worse when genrealising a group of 5...

    Coasters that made you feel nothing

    You forgot to add airtime in that description. And that airtime is pretty good! Turn hill (AIRTIME) turn > Turn hill (AIRTIME) turn > Turn hill (AIRTIME) turn > Turn hill (AIRTIME) turn > Turn hill (AIRTIME) turn > Turn hill (AIRTIME) turn

    Coasters that made you feel nothing

    Silver Star at Europa Park. Except for a tad bit of airtime off the mcbr there is absolutely nothing on that ride. Some on CF really love it, I just don't see what there is to love about it. Maybe that it looks good? It's like finding a pretty girl but then realising there is nothing more than...

    Biblical Coaster Names

    That's actually wrong. The roller coaster Balder is named after Balder's pasture, a horse pasture that used to be on the site where the roller coaster is today. The famous soccer team and sports association Örgryte IS was formed on Balders pasture in 1887. That's also why one of Balder's trains...

    Energylandia's Future Additions

    This might sound boring but I dont think we will see much more from EL in the next years. The tilt coaster + eventual area would probably come 2025 earliest. Then Energylandia have essentially succeeded in establishing themselves as one of Europe's premier parks. With that, they will try to...

    Retro Squad at Alton Towers

    We enthusiasts go around hating on these rides and compare them to permanent well done ride installations. What some of us fail to realise is that the option is not traveling rides vs permenet rides but rather traveling rides vs nothing. Instead ask yourself the question: Would you rather have...

    Carowinds | Aeronautica Landing | Flat Rides | 2023

    Those are some of the blandest looking flat rides ever. Dont like all the grey.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    That's my main grudge with Europa Park. Some of their areas are there just for the sake of them being there instead actually making something immersive like Phantasialand do. It just makes Europa Park seem like a quality before quantity sort of place when it comes to theming areas.

    Icon Park - Drop Tower Accident 24/03/2022

    To me that looks like a very careful removal, not like something going to be scrapped. We might see this ride turn up somewhere else, maybe even shortened a bit to not turn up the fanfare of it being the tallest in the world and thereby it's tragic history exposed to the gp. Regarding going to...

    Camping; what are your thoughts?

    I really hate camping in tents and honestly don't understand it at all. My home has all the creature comforts, why would I consciously downgrade my standard of living to a tent and enjoy it. It just makes no sense. I understand living in a tent if that is the best you can have, for example some...

    Worst class you’ve ever taken?

    Totally agree! Statistics was absolutely horrible and utterly useless for what I am studying. We would just calculate a bunch of random stuff and do statistics programming and all that. There was really no point to learn that. Im also not a big fan of math lecturers, they are so different from...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    I used to visit this park multiple times a year during my childhood. Really loved it! Especially the fantastic bob run and chocolate factory. Really excited to see them invest again. Hopefully a new coaster will be next.

    The best drop towers in world

    Havnt done Croc drop. But Mystery Castle actually involves freefall drops in all three programs. Program 2 even has 2 freefall drops. While all programs also have shoot down sequences. That's what I love with Mystery castle, you can feel both natural freefalls and forced shoot downs in the same...
