Small News From The Theme Park Industry

If these accusations are true; these Schwarzkopf coasters are having a rough few years for safety, aren't they?

Jetline derailed, Quimera derailed, All American Triple Loop slid back down the lift hill, and now these accusations about Hollenblitz... that is quite a few incidents and/or safety concerns in a short time period.

Except Hollenblitz isn't a Schwarzkopf. It's mislabeled has his in quite a few sites but the great man himself had nothing to do with it.

Some ex employees at Stein did help with construction but not Schwartzkopf.

There's a good explanation in this thread

 
Ah…I’ve just realised that I was confusing Hollenblitz with Alpina Bahn!

Ignore what I said above…
 
For anyone who heard rumors on reddit or screamscape, Knoebels has no obvious damage after a pretty massive storm last week, and Twister is running just fine. One small construction area has under a foot of standing water. Parts of the surrounding area still have damage and obvious signs of flooding. Looks like the park escaped another storm...Jazzland could never :(
 
Taunus Wunderland have opened their Mack powered coaster Gobbi Express, the coaster is a relocation that used to be called Galaxie Express and operated for just a year closing in 2004.

It looks a tad bit to chill on the first two laps but does pick up for the third.

They have put effort into the building and area which is nice to see.

Here is a POV.

So it was in storage somewhere for 20 years!?
 
Not sure of the original source, but apparently Simworx are retrofitting their Immersive Superflume technology onto a UK ride, set to open this summer:

x.com x.com

I expect this will go to London Dungeons' boat ride, which has been closed for a while for a refresh. No reopening date is advertised, but summer seems likely.

In any case, I can't think of any other ride which fits the bill.

It could be Lost River Ride at Flamingo Land. That ride is apparently getting some kind of bizarre overhaul that’s involved shortening the lift hill…
 
The tunnel/immersive that Simworx developed was in partnership with Interlink Rides . They built the original one at TransStudio..... so who has an Interlink flume in England ? I saw the one in Great Yarmouth has been removed.
 
ETF Ride Systems has been sold. The current owner is retiring at the end of the month but was apparently unable to find a successor within the company, and so it has been sold to a third party, which hasn’t been disclosed at this time.
