    "Now Showing"

    Were they laughing at how bad it was or were they all just mentally deficient?

    I've only seen videos, but it looks better without the movement.

    More China: Fantawild Ningbo - Part 2: Glorious Orient

    At some point yeah. I'm holding off a bit to see what happens with the new Fantawild park in Huai'an, so I can look at tieing that in as well.

    How do you tell a rides manufacturer?

    Some of them have their names embossed into the restraints. In China it's quite easy since they have to have an information panel displayed somewhere visible.

    More China: Fantawild Ningbo - Part 2: Glorious Orient

    Unfortunately not. The one in Wuhu was closed because of rain when I was there, but that's the only one to go now I think. The "going back" thing is definite issue. I'd really liked the Dreamland park in Xiamen, but when I went back a few years later when they opened Oriental Heritage, it was...

    More China: Fantawild Ningbo - Part 2: Glorious Orient

    Onto the second park then. We had a flight back at around 7 (to Shenzhen rather than Hong Kong which added another layer of faff, but it was the only flight that would work), so needed to be out of the park by around 4. Not a problem since Fantawild usually closes at 5pm anyway. Glorious...

    Gyeongju World? | RMC Raptor | 202?

    Yep, that and Robotland are on the list. No real plans in place yet though.

    More China: Fantawild Ningbo - Part 2: Glorious Orient

    Since I’ve now finished with that Florida nonsense, I can now get back to what really matters: reporting on cloned coasters in terribly-operated Chinese parks that nobody gives a f**k about! I’d been up to Ningbo before, as part of a longer trip around that area, but they annoyingly opened a...

    Milestones in Your Counts

    Filling in my goon sheet and realised that I hit my 500th Chinese coaster (coaster in China rather than Chinese-made). It was this glorious thing from Beijing Shibaolai: There was a new Vekoma launch thing right there - literally next to it - so if I'd known... Actually, I probably wouldn't...

    Everland | T-Express partial retracking | 2024

    This is great to see, but this park, along with all the parks in the Seoul area, is desperate for a new coaster. The fact that they're already retracking their newest coaster just emphasises how little they've added in the meantime (16 years!) Lotte haven't added one since 2003 and Seoul Land...

    Gyeongju World? | RMC Raptor | 202?

    I'm seriously hoping this is heading to Gyeoungju. I've been meaning to get back to Korea at some point (haven't been back in about 7-8 years) and heading down to the Busan/Gyeoungju area for the first time since around 2007. The dive coaster there is already new since I've been, but an RMC...

    Efteling | Spookslot Replacement | Intamin Dynamic Motion Stage | 2024

    I can't be arsed to read anything, so can someone tell me if there's an expected opening date for this? It's looking somewhat likely that I'll be in Amsterdam in the summer, and this being open or not might be a factor in an Efteling revisit.

    Are GoPros allowed on the coasters in Fuji-Q Highland and Nagashima Spa Land

    This has been answered already, but I'll shove my (repeated) answer in here that it'll be a no. Nagashima even give you little baskets to put phones/wallets in, which have very clear "don't bring any s**t with you" stickers in the bottom of them. You stupidly have to take their silly little...

    Do-Dodonpa closed

    I'll also pay tribute with some much lower quality pics from my three (humble brag) visits, showing the evolution of Dodonpa and the quality of the camera, though not my skills in using it. And have some more for good measure: I doubt we'll ever see anything like it...

    Florida - Part 9: Sea World

    It was definitely not Spring Break, much too early for that. It did hit a UK half term though, so I'm sure that had a bit of an effect, and there was some big cheerleading thing going on. I can see how June would be an excellent time to go as well. In terms of when I could potentially get to...
