    Your most disproportionately long wait for a ride?

    Before "becoming an enthusiast" I used to wait a lot longer for rides. I remember doing a 2 hour wait for Lisebergsbanan in 2010. I was with friends and it didnt bother me back then. Nowadays, I always have a strategy when visiting theme parks. Firstly, I always try to visit on the least busy...

    Energylandia's Future Additions

    Energylandia is a Pepsi park. That means Pepsi, Miranda, 7up, Lipton Ice Tea, Mountain Dew, etc. Dont think I have seen Coca Cola products there.

    Six Flags Qiddiya | Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    This is a project of absolute national importance. This park will stay open as long as their regime stays in power. It's a lot more serious than Ankapark ever was. With that said, I doubt it will ever turn a profit and certainly never break even on it's massive construction cost but it's part of...

    Portaventura Being Sold Back to Universal? Rumour!

    These experiences are not competitive with each other, probably not even complementary with each other. Having a maze in London does not in any way mean that they shouldn't have a theme park in Spain. I would still take it with a grain of salt that Universal are interested in PA. They sold it...

    Should Stampida (Port Aventura) really be RMC'd?

    By making RMC Stampida taller and faster, it could become the next Twisted Colossus. Anyone preferring a meh woodie over Twisted Colossus is nuts.

    The Rig - A roller coaster on an offshore oil rig?

    Most of these Saudi projects are completly nuts but this one really isnt that bad. Saudi Arabia want to build a cruise market, "Cruise Saudi" probably just bought a pretty decent ship for it, the World Dream. For cruises to work they need destinations. All the major cruise lines have built their...

    SFSTL | Rookie Racer | Vekoma Junior Coaster | 2023

    Wasnt the rumour that Six Flags had ordered 3 coasters from Skyline for 2023? Maybe Skyline could only deliver 2 with such short notice. As SFSTL was already promised a kiddie for 2023 they reached out to other manufactueres and Vekoma happened to be able to quickly provide a coaster. Heavy...

    SFSTL | Rookie Racer | Vekoma Junior Coaster | 2023

    I think there is some merit to Frida being made for another park and last minuite installed at Energylandia. Seeing that coaster there surprised us all. Find it very wierd to just fence off the whole SFSTL coaster, they could atleast add a Frida style walkway.

    Marineland of Canada (may) be closing/sold

    The animals aren't an issue. I dont think anyone would buy the park and keep the animals. The whales would probably all be sold to China or some other place where keeping them isn't frowned upon. The sea lions and the other animals would probably just be moved to a zoo in North America, I dont...

    Marineland of Canada (may) be closing/sold

    I don't think we will see something on the scale of Wonderland there. But the area has plenty of potential for either a well themed family park that offers something Wonderland doesn't. Legoland, Sesame Street, Mattel, etc. Or a smaller entertainment destination serving the local tourist market...

    Biggest misnomers in the theme park industry

    Helix. Has anyone even noticed the helix on Helix? Change it's name to Norwegian Loop, Corcscrew, Inline Twist or Inside Top Hat. Those are the elements you will remember from it.

    Marineland of Canada (may) be closing/sold

    The park probably has some of the necessary utilities installed. It might be cheaper to just buy it and develop something new there rather than starting from scratch. If marineland gets sold I highly doubt it will be the same as today.
