    I wonder if a big issue is global austerity leading to understaffing - leading to less maintenance, less checks, less often and building hardware & equipment reaching the end of there userful lives. Even new situations like the waterpark - understaffing could lead to less people doing more...

    Who would go to Six Flags Quiddiya?

    As a gay person - I'd have to think carefully! And acknowledge that I'm quite hypocritical i.e. I really want to do all the Poland creds, and really want to visit Puy de Foy despite being run by right wingers ....oh and do the Sea Worlds despite not agreeing with large aquatic animals in...

    Overshadowed attractions

    I second Winjas - such an innovative fun and thrilling coaster, quirky and out of control. Avalanche at BPB - one of... if not the best bobsled coaster out there. Gaz express at Bagatelle - gem of a coaster. Kolumbus Jolle at Europa..... This is not just any sea storm! This is a sea storm...

    Diving show platform collapses at Europa Park

    I do wonder if this is a symptom off all/most year round operations (no time to re-calerbrate, do full audits and checks, space to construct etc etc) coupled with staffing issues after Covid i.e. one less engineer or maintenance guy on site etc- knock on effects. Things are 'thrown up' overnight...
