This! Also the "lots of people her age have those views, it's normal!" argument is utterly flawed. If my great grandfather was a rampant racist, is it ok because he's old fashioned? Of course not! I agree that I wish they'd branch away from HP a bit, but I suppose it's clearly what makes the...

This might be the worst take yet, thank god it's your last comment on the matter! Fans will enjoy the ride however I do think they might have missed the opportunity too build something one of a kind here...

I would advise you to look more into what Joanne has actually been saying online, and what she has been physically pumping money into. I agree that not everyone cares, and many can look past it, but there is a good reason a lot of the original cast have separated themselves from the franchise...

I would be very surprised if it were themed to anything other than the films. They aren't that old and are still very much in the zeitgeist, I would also argue that many can agree that the films are good, despite the moral awkwardness around the brand since 2019. When most people think Hogwarts...

Also appears that Harry Potter may well be coming to the park after all... https://orlandoparkstop.com/news/theme-park-news/harry-potter-possibly-confirmed-for-universal-uk-park/

I have ridden it, and I still think this looks dull. As I said in my previous post, the STCs have more varied layouts than this. Still, I'd happily be proven wrong down the line.

The Vekoma STCs still have more variety that this. The layout looks like Volcano's layout (RIP), turn, roll, another few turns, roll... but without the bite that Volcano had.

Would it have hurt to have more variety of inversions :(

How do we know it's low capacity, we don't know how long the trains will be?

Looking back at the announcement video, the supports do appear grey, however I agree that on the artwork the colour does appear teal.

Very interesting. Is the elevator confirmed to be part of the actual coaster though? I just assumed it was for accessibility, and the platform might be elevated?

Another interesting thing to note, I believe the concept art shows this coaster being right at the entrance, to your right as you pass the gift shop.

Efteling have just posted this to their TikTok and other social media... The concept art from the video: Lunar/fantasy themed Vekoma Thrill Glider, possibly?

I'll also miss walking through it and hearing the music, filling the freestyle cup and soaking in the vibes :(

Suddenly the concept of a new Universal theme park is a little less exciting...

I get you, but as I said, the crowd levels themselves weren't an issue at all. I expect theme parks to be busy, I've visited Europa Park on a public holiday and it was heaving but I still had a great time. The issue (in my opinion) is the business model itself.

Not news related but wanted to rant. Visited Thorpe Park today for the first time in 2 years. Not great. Park was fairly busy however queue times would have been manageable if Fastrack wasn't so grossly oversold. On Hyperia they were letting on mostly fastrack users whilst the main queue sat at...

This sounds like an awful day out. Proof that money can't buy taste it seems... Seems like something Bible-belt Americans would love and not something the Dutch would but I could be wrong.

I doubt it, it's sort of the main selling point for the ride, it even has drift in the name! It's a prototype, of course it'll have teething issues at first. Intamin will figure it out and all will be fine.

Could be mistaken, but I don't think it's the same spine.The spines on Tron and this are far chonkier.
