I think Wodan it still the best GCI woodie that I have ridden. It is the Nemesis of wooden coasters for me, relatively short but packs a punch from start to finish, phenomenal!
Europa-Park have said over the weekend that the theming they had planned was too heavy to hang up, so they had to put up some lighter theming very late on. They are not happy with it at all yet, and changes will be made over the coming weeks and months, especially once the park has closed for...
I'm intrigued as to what interior ride theming was to be expected on a dark coaster that is already very limited in space? I was expecting 2D cut out style theming all along as this tends to work fairly well for dark coasters.
I'll wait and see what it is like myself later in the year though...
This coaster is only themed to Fantastic Beasts if they have decided to totally change the theme of the ride well after construction had started. In other words, it's not themed to Fantastic Beasts!
That's where the all day moveable locker for $10 comes in. We made us of these over both days at Cedar Point as well as equivalents at Six Flags Great Adventure, Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg. For some reason though, Kinds Island do not offer an all day moveable locker which was...
The moveable lockers work pretty well, apart from the fact you often have to type in your code two or three times to get them to re-open! However some locker locations are often full, we found this on a day when the park was very quiet, and the suggestion of the staff was to go and find the...
Apparently Cedar Point have introduced $10 moveable lockers this season which is better than having to pay each time you are forced to use one. Interested to see how this new policy does (or doesn't) work next week; I am not a fan of being forced to pay for lockers.
12th September is the date for the press event (what has been seen is the press invites). However they have indeed said that they're working hard to have it all open before that date.

The kitchen for Fjord Restaurant was located directly behind the servery; from what I have seen of the start and subsequent spread of the fire it seems extremely unlikely to have started there. Plus you'd think one of the kitchen staff would know if it had.
There was a flame effect in the...
I agree that Pirates will very likely be improved and modernised, there's a good chance that they already had plans to update it at some point in the future. I'd imagine that Scandinavia will be reconstructed in a very similar manner to how it was before, Holland facades will be rebuilt in a...
Indeed. I would expect for them to rebuild what they have lost in a very similar manner to how it was before. Planning for reconstruction is already underway!

Universe of Engery is being re-themed to Madame Freudenreich Curiosites and will open this year, presumedly at the same time as Sat re-opens. Three scenes of the existing ride are being replaced completely and the rest will be changed to fit with the new theme.
:)
The VR station itself will have a generic Coastiality theme and there could be a number of different VR films available as is currently the case of Alpenexpress. It would be nice if one of these was space themed though!

The Ultimate is lots of things but boring is the one word I would not use to describe it (well apart from the lifts)!
Temple of the Night Hawk has to be one of the most boring coasters I have ridden.
They would never have got planning permission to build a loud wooden rollercoaster which requires a dense supporting structure through an area that forms part of the Grade I listed historic parks and gardens. The negative impact of such a development on the environment would have outweighed any...
I think there was a lot of hype when Blue Fire first opened and in the couple of years afterwars but I can't say I have really seen any recently? It is a good fun coaster, solid but not spectacular. I'd imagine that the clones without the theming and on-board audio are rather bland as for me it...
