Maybe not.

@soleil - good observation. I considered making a list for rides where a strap is mandatory, but decided against it. I have had a few instances where my strap was checked, but I am okay with this. I will keep the list to be only rides where you cannot ride with a strap. If anything, I think...

New Vekoma at Galaxyland - 1, but you can ride either side to get the credit Gold Rush - 1 Möbius - 1 Duelling - 2 Clones - yes Relocations - no Hulk/Nemesis style retracks - no TTD & TT2 - 2 Diskos - no Alpine coasters - no Tower Coaster - haven't ridden and therefore haven't decided...

Our day at Karls Erlebnis-Dorf Elstal, the largest of the Karls parks, started with an almost thirty minute line for #566 K2. After the retheme of X at Thorpe Park to Walking Dead, it is the new shortest coaster name in my list, beating out rides including Sik at Flamingo Land, ERS at London's...

I know you. Our day at Freizeitpark Plohn started with a round of sulking at the very closed Donnervind, the world's first launched water coaster, whose opening was delayed until three weeks after our visit. A small disappointment, but these things happen, and as of 2026 we cannot reasonably...

I am very interested in how popular the family cycle will be, and my biggest reason is the vest restraints. When I was younger, I was absolutely convinced that bigger restraints = scarier ride. With my logic, a B&M hyper coaster could never match the intensity of a Gerstlauer Eurofighter, and I...

It's unfortunate that the Galactica retheme was seemingly cancelled. If anything, I'd like them to try that again and chuck some repaint budget into that as well. To me, it's by far the area that needs the most amount of attention.

How much time does the Wave even have left? The train was replaced, yes, but that track is still over thirty years old. Do they have a plan in place for when that track is old enough to the point where they'll need to start doing something about it?

We'd be finding out that we'd be missing a major attraction at almost every park we visited this weekend. At both Karls parks, we would be missing their new under-construction family boomerangs. At Belantis, we'd be a year too early for their major new launched family coaster. At Freizeitpark...

Treasures of Poseidon has closed. Doc Sugrue's Desert Kebab House has closed. The long-abandoned Sindbad theater has been demolished. The Mystic Fountain is being dismantled in a more careful manner. Allegedly, the face will be preserved. The trident that greeted guests when entering the...

An Ultra Surf is replacing Vertigo.

Better archival of older posts On 99% of social media platforms, informative news comes and goes. It's far easier to have real-time conversations on platforms like Discord, but its biggest downfall is the difficulty with looking back on past messages. It's thrilling to sometimes dive back into...

Only Obsession is in cinemas, but I felt the need to touch on the other two. Obsession - absolutely terrifying horror movie. I've never rooted for the downfall of a main character so much, who strongly affected the lives of everyone he knew because he was too scared to communicate his feelings...
