    The first UK RMC; where will it happen?

    They better first announce a 'family coaster' and then the manufacturer then 😅

    The first UK RMC; where will it happen?

    Never visited a park in the UK but... RMC did promote their new Family Hybrid model. That one could be a coaster type worth mentioning as an upscale for mid-sized parks, right?

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    I am not a big fan of the logo either. With the word 'rides' in full capitals it is also not really consistent with the other logo's. That being said, the old logo looked outdated too so it needed an update.

    Walibi Holland 2023

    I haven't been there in about 8 years neither. But what I have heard about the development of the park with help of this forum and their external marketing, it indeed looks like that is their focus. So there absolutely might be a chance they are planning on building a thrillride.

    Walibi Holland 2023

    Maybe they do plan something for the longer term, for example towards 2025. If they get a new coaster it could be an interesting discussion what would be a good addition the existing line-up... i'd say a themed family coaster could bring in more families. If it's going to be a thrill coaster, a...

    Walt Disney Studios Park | Avengers Assemble: Flight Force | R'n'RC retheme | 2022

    I also think the colors on the photo of the current status don't really help. It is definitely going to look better with the coloring and lighting finished.

    I might be able to upload mine this evening but really didn't have time to finish it on time. Hope it's still possible but if not, I get it.

    (Family) Suspended Coaster @ Slagharen

    I think a family invert would be a great fit to Slagharen. Vekoma model: it somehow looks odd with that pre-lifthill part on a coaster that is not even that big, but it could be fun ride. Premier model: that little dip in the lifthill looks ridiculous. I do like the fact that there's a second...

    Walibi Holland 2023

    I think the park's focus for the new year some is re-theming of areas and updating the the park experience. Would also be nice if they get rid of their terrible commercial communication.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Some translations of this breaking news article; Headline: Motivation deviation rainwater drainage Deviating from GSV rainwater, we motivate the placement of a larger rainwater well. And then they are making calculations on using rainwater for the toiletblocks and for the gardens. I hope you...

    What are your thoughts on attractions with a message?

    Agree. It's also a matter of awareness and learning, and not about telling people what to do, people are acting like children then: "you tell me I have to do that? Then I am not doing that". But creating awareness in daily life makes people act.

    What are your thoughts on attractions with a message?

    Then it's my bad, I indeed miss quoted you. But I think the choice of words was a bit tricky there. Image is always a thing businesses care about, doesn't matter if it's a bank or theme park. And I agree with what you are saying that it's unfortunately hard to see if an organisation really...

    What are your thoughts on attractions with a message?

    Yes, some of these attractions are sponsored. And yes theme parks and the world as a whole turns around money, that's how our capitalistic society works and that's how theme parks survive. But 'meaningless propaganda' is ofcourse a nonsense overstatement that sounds like messages on rides are...

    What are your thoughts on attractions with a message?

    I understand your feelings. I somehow agree it is too much sometimes, but I also know that the increasing amount of messages you'll find in any form of media and entertainment is a very logical consequence of living in a world that gets smaller and smaller because of digitalization and where we...

    Most fitting coaster names

    If these really are new and no relocations, I trust on them to be smooth and having the better trains.

    What are your thoughts on attractions with a message?

    I have big interest for art and culture and in my opinion, art and culture has an underrated place in society because it tells a message and it broadens your perspective on a lot of things. We don't need theme parks to follow this path, they will always be the place where you find entertainment...

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg | Pantheon | Intamin LSM Coaster | 2022

    It's a recognizable thought. I already discussed this before on this forum but I am 2m tall (6.6) and I have not ridden a b&m yet because I have been refused on a few of them. I wasn't too disappointed because I was already prepared for it. But I do find it frustrating that we live in a part of...

    CF Speed Build Question???

    If we want to take it literally, only wooden RMC's count, but no hybrid RMC's. But only building classic non-inverting woodies could be fun too.
