How can a park in the UK buy a coaster that cannot work in rainy weather? These decisions are so baffling to me. I am sure they could just place some sort of cover structure on the lift hill to prevent tires from getting wet.

I recall Can Can Coaster/Eurosat's being quite abrupt, especially if trains were stacked due to delays in operation.

As of today, the retrack has finished. I really hope they have given Khan's trains some TLC during this extended maintenance.

Along with other closed rides at the start of the season (one side on Stampida, Khan and Serpiente Emplumada), Baco has had a very rough start, including days when it has only been operating for a handful of hours, closing early or not operating at all for consecutive days. There are rumours...

According to the park's maintenance manager, Khan's retrack is expected to finish this week and the park is aiming at having the coaster running by Easter holidays. Let's see if it runs properly or if you can feel the transitions/joints between old and new track. Fingers crossed that the...

As far as the latest reports suggest, Dragon Khan now features a single rider line. This is great news and definitely the right step to improve the park's poor operations. So far the following rides have SR line: Shambhala, Hurakan Condor, Mission Street, Furius Baco (2025), Dragon Khan (2025)...

The whole track was repainted to its original colours just this season, but under the scorching Spanish sun it will fade quickly.

The park has officially announced that DK will be partially retracked at the end of this season, in January. The park has mentioned they are aiming to replace the first loop and the cobra roll. Hopefully this will fix the huge pothole at the bottom of the first drop and the rougher high...

I think it was mentioned a while ago that this coaster would have double loading station and separate load/unload on each side. As for blocks: Prelift 1 Lift 1 Prelift/launch 2 Bottom of big drop before the Saint Louis' arch Safety brakes Brakes before station Even if all 6 trains were to...

At this point I guess they will open the coaster in 2026.

If I was SF Mexico I would feel absolutely robbed! This family boomerang is nicely presented but quite the step down from the newgen tilt that they were going to get and eventually became Siren's Curse. I hope SF can add a significant coaster to make up for it.

Latest pictures confirm that the park is building a small permanent structure to house one of its Halloween walk-throughs.

That side to side action is very reminiscent of the latest STC, like HüK or Fianna Force. Excellent family coaster! Just a shame that the prelift section is poorly executed. Hopefully, over time they can polish it?

I have a friend who spent his holidays in Algarve and even visited the park and it was only testing. It looks ready but for some reason it doesn't seem like the park is ready. Perhaps it still needs some paperwork or some certification before it can operate with guests?

I was going to say this. The land to work with is not that big, and has an odd shape to fit anything relevant (unless you are Phantasialand or Gröna Lund). Given the Halloween season is around the corner I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to fit a semipermanent upcharge horror walk-through...

IAPPA is to be held in Barcelona in September. Common sense dictates that GCI and Isla Mágica should release more details. However it's not the first time that this park has planned a ride only to drop its plans with no warning, like they did with the Vekoma Mine Train that was supposed to open...

Ever since the Battlestar Galactica fiasco, Universal hasn't really worked with Vekoma, so it could well be a Mack.

I think this is a wln-win situation. The POV was 49 seconds long and it lacked the first launch, so I estimate that the overall ride time will be just over a minute. A coaster with just two trains will need as many capacity as possible, so having a short cycle increases capacity. If that leads...

I see that the autosmooth button is not available on the Iranian version of NL2.

I have seen videos of testing as of today. I don't think it was running at full speed or if it was the final cycle setup but it didn't look that special.
