    Serengeti-Park | Gozimba | RES Air loop | 2024

    Progress is being made very slowly. Today there were a total of 1 worker on the site while I took a quick glimpse. He was using the crane at the bottom right. I wasn't able to get a hold of him but it looked to me as if he was working on the wiring of the transfer track Also some track...

    Heide-Park to make its ”next major investment” in 2024

    I don't think it is. It's just not as major as we thought. I heard rumors that a dark ride is supposed to be build in the old log flume station.

    Legoland Deutschland | Maximus: Flight of the Guardian| B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    Maybe B&M was pushing this project them self and not the other way around. Didn't they want to push into the family market a few years ago? I'd say relations with Merlin are quite good. Could be their way of trying to diversify their portfolio.

    Walt Disney Studios Park | Avengers Assemble: Flight Force | R'n'RC retheme | 2022

    Tbh, I think its neither better nor worse. Its more ore less the same but with screens instead of cardboards. The ride as it stands now is fine imo. I have to agree that the former theme was more creative but other than that its more or less the same. That being said, I've never ridden Rock 'n...

    COTALAND | Texas | Gerstlauer Infinity Shuttle (Palindrome) & Vekoma Tilt (Circuit Breaker) & Others

    Well its certain now. Roller Coaster design has piqued! How are you supposed to improve on that apart from taller and bigger?

    Fun Spot Atlanta | ArieForce One | RMC IBox Steel Coaster | 2023

    The park looks so innocent compared to the construction ground 😍

    Coasters that were built too early?

    Im gonna throw "Star Trek Operation Enterprise" form Movie Park Germany into the mix. It opened in 2017 with a swing launch and 1 year later the Parc Asterix project was revealed containing the switch track. Edit: You could also name "Capitol Bullet Train" at Motiongate in Dubai

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    That would be neat! But then again there is also a catchcar and a launch cable involved which wouldn't lower the threat potential. So i sadly don't see them go the extra mile to invest in that.

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    This ride is probably the closest we'll get to the RCT3 Cover art coaster:

    Goliath leaving SFNE

    I'm wishing for more than a year now that it gets to Heide Park alongside a much needed overhaul. Would fit perfectly in the parks lineup + its easy to market (Merlin likes that). I know that there are exactly zero signs at all that this could happen but I'm just hoping my home park finally gets...

    New Intamin blitz coaster sample layouts

    Yeah i get that they are trying to cash in with these models but it makes me sad anyways :( . It just seems lazy and cheap to me. S&S, Vekoma and RMC aren't that expensive either (at least to my knowledge) and their new models brought at least some innovation and/or variation to the industry...

    New Intamin blitz coaster sample layouts

    I feel like Intamin is only copying these days. Where is the innovation the company is known for? :(

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    Desert Race at Heide Park > Taron At least layout wise The hydraulic launch is so much better than Taron's LSM (is it true that Taron's was reduced?). Also I guess size doesn't matter kids ^^ Never rode Rita but I think it would behave the same?

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    Wow... that shot around 0:20 gives me Roller Coaster Tycoon cover art feels. :D
