    Tivoli Friheden | Vindfald | Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter | 2024

    Iirc Gerstlauer Eurofighter track is narrower than the Infinity track we've been seeing more recently so probably the same old 4-across.

    European park gets Western themed area, stop the presses

    ^ If we're talking Russian coaster sponsorships we can't forget Velikolukskiy Myasokombinat and Velikolukskiy Myasokombinat 2 !

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    The train looks nice but it's hard to admire it with a background of baby poop coloured track

    SeaWorld San Antonio | Catapult Falls | Launched Flume Ride | 2024

    I think the launch could be fun on ride. Never thought I'd see trims like that on a log flume though? I doubt that's fun on ride! "WOOOAH BIG DROP wait where'd the speed go"

    I mean, the setting is incredible and so is the level of fabrication for a home project. And the profiling is miles ahead SBF.

    Zhipao New Vertical Coaster Debuts

    That looks like a fun layout but the train loses momentum suspiciously fast which is usually not a good sign for smoothness either. It kinda looks like a Zamperla Thunderbolt and Fahrenheit had a baby, but considering what they've been doing so far this is a big step up.

    Colossus Partial Retrack (Thorpe Park)

    Oh those are some lovely new colours! I will say, wouldn't it be lovely since they're playing with track replacements if they could remove the first two rolls and replace them with some classic intamin ejector bunny hops? Smiler took the inversion record a decade ago anyway, they don't need all...

    S&S RailRyder (Revived SteepleChase Model)

    This seems like almost a blend between RMC Raptors and those Maurer powered nightmares in style. This looks super fun, actually! properly straddling the track with your legs on the sides of the track will definitely be a unique sensation, in that sense (at least with that train option) it's...

    Linnanmäki | Swingi | Intamin Gyro Swing | 2024

    Wish I had waited a couple more days before posting so it wouldn't be split in two like this, but anyway: The swinging arm is in place now, so I don't think we'll get to see anything from outside the park of the ride construction anymore, besides electricians working at the top and possibly...

    Linnanmäki | Swingi | Intamin Gyro Swing | 2024

    Screw it, people have revived threads for less so here; have some fresh construction pics taken from a cliff outside the park Unfortunately once the pendulum arm itself is in I won't be able to see much more progress from outside the park unless I lived on the top floor of one of the nearby...

    Playland (Vancouver) | Thundervolt | Zamperla/Intamin Launched Coaster | 2024

    Oh man I love that colour scheme, I've missed it. I know it was semi common to have pink supports yellow track like 20 years ago but it's so refreshing to have it back.

    What is your mentality towards riding non-kiddie “+1” type coasters?

    I put myself in C, but it might border on D. The thing is, if there's something I'd rather be doing and especially if I'm not with a friend who I wanna have some laughs with on a "bad" ride, I'll skip credits. Especially if they're clones and/or infamously bad models like Volares, most SLCs...

    Your favourite coaster track

    I absolutely LOOOVE the smooth, almost overbuilt looking track of the Vekoma refurbs for Python (Efteling) and Shaman (Gardaland) they're not by the same company I believe but look identical. (photos from rcdb)

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Idk if I'm being petty but god I hope this fails at it's aims. I'm as impressed as anyone with Intamin for the engineering feat and I'm anxious to see what kind of systems they have to keep the wheel temps in check etc. what have you to keep this thing running semi reliably. I know some rich...

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    ^^ Reminds me of when they teased the trains for Taiga, but I mean. Intamin eagle train basically with this one too, so no surprise

    Your most memorable journeys to and/or from parks

    Heide Park, 2019. Exit park, expect to have to wait an hour anyway for Flixbus to get their asses over to the park. It's raining, jacket drenched. It's colder than any other day. Notification from the flixbus app: "bus delayed by 27 minutes". Wait 27 minutes extra, followed by "Line 085 to...
