LISEBERG have just announced the closure of Spin Rock and the announcement date for 2017's new ride:
"Come and say goodbye to Spin Rock
Take the opportunity to have one (or multiple?!) last ever rides on Spin Rock. Until September 18, you have chance to spin around before it is time to prepare...
Liseberg have confirmed to a group of individuals on a behind-the-scenes tour that they are looking at installing a new rollercoaster for 2018. The Swedish park are considering either a B&M Invert or some kind of coaster from RMC. The location for the new attraction will be next to Balder on the...
To keep this short and sweet, a jeep covered by a tarp has appeared at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. None of the vehicle is visible (due to the tarp) except the rear wheel cover, on which it says "Project 2017 - Blackpool Pleasure Beach".
Photos to come asap but a lot of people have seen it now and...
Hi guys,
Nemesis: Backwards has been teased by Alton Towers on their Facebook page for the rides 21st. It's unclear whether it will be a few rows or the whole train...

When Helix was announced by Liseberg, CEO Andreas Anderson said the ride would open with various theming elements unfinished. Some examples are ivy surrounding the station latticework, details on the walls in the queue, a waterfall at the bottom of one of the drops and on-ride audio (speakers...
Hi guys,
My question is, what failsafes are in place on Intamin Hydraulic Launch coasters (such as TTD) to ensure the brake fins rise as soon as the train passes them during a launch? Are they counterweighted or...? Baring in mind if the fins didn't raise and a rollback accord there would be a...
...How tall would it be? In other words, using physics from existing Strata-coasters (TTD, KK) - what height could a 149mph launch potentially reach?
