    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    I really dislike these fake "records". Falcons would still beat this for tallest and fastest multi launch AlpenFury looks like it will have 8 or 9 inversions so KK would need to be significantly extended to take that one Unlikely to take fastest acceleration if they are going to LSMs...

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    I don't think the noise would be too much of an issue, the park has significant trees in between the area and residential buildings, of which there aren't many. Agree it could have an inversion like Mineblower though. Copperhead is way too big a jump imo. Can't see them getting anything with...

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    I still think a Gravity Group woodie like Wood Express or Wooden Warrior is the perfect fit. 1.2m height restriction (1m accompanied) 2 trains for throughput Coaster type they don't currently have Airtime machine that they don't currently have Natural progression to bigger and more thrilling...

    Wiener Prater | Wiener Looping | Mack Stryker Coaster | 2025

    RCDB says there's 2 due to open in 2025 - https://rcdb.com/4926.htm - but this is the only one I've seen discussed. Is there actually 2 being constructed? Starting to look into when to visit next year, obviously dependent on any new creds being up and running.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Rode it twice last weekend. First ride was middle seat front row and it was glass smooth, lots of airtime, hangtime wasn't too bad, an incredible ride. 2nd ride was back right, night and day experience, horrendous rattle all the way round, hangtime was disgusting, but... the airtime was...

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    I can forgive the Maverick and Skyrush bashing, as I've ridden them recently enough to know they aren't quite what they were, Maverick has simply been overtaken by better rides and Hershey/Intamin have totally ****ed up the restraints meaning it's running a lot slower (and rougher) then my...

    Yep, I pretty much agree with this entire post, except that the Flying Dutchman was bad, not the worst one though. And that while a full day at Great Adventure would have been nice, gotta get those creds.

    Coasters that gave you the biggest sense of "danger"

    Yep, we rode this last month and I honestly thought we were derailing, could not get out of it quick enough.

    I felt the exact same after my first couple of runs, it immediately replaced it in my ranking and is somewhere in my teens now. It's a bit like when I first rode Twisted Cyclone (SFNE) but once I'd ridden a few more RMCs I realised it's quite weak in comparison. Cracking top 25, but where's...

    Last Cred Review

    OPs seemed a lot slower than my prior visits, so maybe they are delaying dispatch to allow the trains wheels to recover a bit more than before. Main thing is the restraints/train weight has changed, only thing I can think of for the decrease in speed. As you say, the lateral body movement was...

    Next park was Hershey; Candymonium - Went row 2 on this one as I find hypers are usually better in row 2 for the full floater effect or back row for the yank down every hill. Looks great, love what they've done with the new entrance since I was last there, and it has an interesting layout...

    Just goes to show what a good conversion to do, if the original layout is solid :)
