    Shanghai Disneyland building a “high-speed roller coaster”?

    Well that's why it would be a different theme!! It would be EE ride system or similar - not the theme! I don't think it would ever be considered to be the original theme due to what you mentioned. - and the fact that is it a 'Castle Park' and mount Everest would be left-field to shoehorn in...

    Shanghai Disneyland building a “high-speed roller coaster”?

    Maybe, just Maybe They might notice S&S's Axis coaster, and realise how close it is to their Yesterworlds/Neverlands 'Fire Mountain' ....... a coaster that would have transitioned from a sit down to an inverted coaster, long before the technology was their! one can dream!

    Records or claims that never made sense to you?

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    What no one has mentioned yet is - I'm expecting lot's of story telling and world building with this coaster - and expect dark ride sections, think Fluct Von Novgorod or Mystery mine! It's somewhat Europas take on FLY insofar as....compact space....long track!

    Coasters that have gotten better with age?

    One that comes to mind is Wodan - I've heard from several people it runs much better in recent years than its earlier days - which is probably due to some interim re-tracking and maintenance and not simple being 'worn in' - although there might be elements of that too!
