    What do you consider a “good” ride count at a theme park?

    I tend to work (subconsciously) and VERY ROUGHLY to a rule of a 1.5 rides an hour...... so over an average 8 hour park day - 12 rides would leave me satisfied/expectations met - but closer to, or over 20 would leave me delighted, these include re-rides which I assume is meant to be included in...

    Accident on Adventureland's Raging River

    Rapids rides have been around 40 years - and have an excellent track record if you think about it - and I'm sure a good percentage of accidents that have happened have been the results of people standing up - and that of those - most were non-serious/fatal. There 'seems' to be a 'spate' of...

    Plopsaqua, Hannut-Landen

    This has kind of gone under the Radar Due to you-know a certain MACK extreme spinner opening at the de Panne park, but the Plopsa franchise recently opened there 2nd Plopsaqua waterpark at Hannut-Landen, below is a good overview video by Tuberides.

    Plopsaland de Panne | The Ride to Happiness | Mack Xtreme Spinning Coaster | 2021

    I love how you can't see the track whilst on the ride for much of it -giving it a chaotic yeeting into nothingness and tumbling through the air sensation which I hope will translate when actually riding it!

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I must admit I like the randomness of Elephants and stuff slap bang next to Grimms fairy tails, - and ducks nesting on fibreglass Crocs etc

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Europa and the Mack family are basically in the pockets of the local GOV! and a good portion of the town either work at the park or in supporting industries like b&b's etc. Basically Europa have huge carte blanche with development luckily? - of course not absolutely everything - but they are in...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    If Europa went down the flat ride route - I feel it would likely be a drop tower! Highlander at Hansa whilst domineering - isn't particularly intense, so a similar model work well at Europa! perhaps or something like a zamperla nebulaz which is mid-range intensity and has an aesthetic that...

    Legoland Windsor | LEGO Mythica | Flying Theatre

    Rode yesterday and really enjoyed it - I wasn't blown away first ride but it grew on me over 3 rides during the day! I agree about the top of the screen being visible even on the bottom row - It really would have been worth making the building a few meters taller to have the screen curve back -...

    Movie Park Germany | Movie Park Studio Tour | Intamin Multi Dimension Coaster | 2021

    I disagree - I think there are plenty of differences I can see - also i feel Movie park has a formula and theme they are trying to get back to of rides through 'sets' in 'sound studios' ......and it's unique to them and think it will work well for them instead of trying to be like other parks.

    Movie Park Germany | Movie Park Studio Tour | Intamin Multi Dimension Coaster | 2021

    That is all quite Fab! love it! As a dark ride Goon I'm thrilled, definite hints of CanCan coaster and wonder if this is Movie Parks response to that installation, I really dig these 'story coasters'! And as Sadly I hear Hollywood tour at Phantasialand will not open again - this will fill that...

    Rank the Europa Park coasters

    Awww I like the jungle boat ride - it's mellow. they could do with swapping some of the figures out, but hope they don't get rid of it!

    Doha Oasis Quest | EpiQ Coaster | Premier Rides LSM Coaster | 2021

    Good to see them still being made - as quirky as they are - always though one would would work well in an indoor setting with dark ride element - as an alternative to the ABC drop rides often used!

    Doha Oasis Quest | EpiQ Coaster | Premier Rides LSM Coaster | 2021

    Thorpe Park and Paultons Park May 2021

    It was my first time at Paultons and I was probably a little disproportionally excited! The park is in lovely green surroundings, and the drive to the car park presents you with a dynamic looking skyline composing several surprisingly substantial looking coasters partitioned by meticulously...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I would think maybe their version of an infinity coaster would be good or big dipper 0.2 - Creating their versions of a 'mystery mine' type coaster - perhaps even with drop track sections or other tricks Mack haven't tried before!.....some sort of hybrid between an infinity and a...
