Intamin press conference As seen in the link above, Intamin and Dreamworld will announce a new attraction at IAAPA Expo Europe. Attraction sounds like it won't be a coaster, so what could it be? They already have a gyro swing.

Press conference list Paulton's Park and Lagotronics will unveil details of the new interactive attraction on september 24th at IAAPA Expo Europe.

La Recre des 3 Cures, an amusement park in western France, will add an 80-meter-tall (262 feet tall) Funtime drop tower in 2025. The name and theme haven't been determined for now, but to give you an idea of the scale of this ride, it will be the third drop tower in the country. Nigloland (100...

In the case of the Orlando accident, when the person modified the restraint sensor, he would have just made the seatbelt longer to match. A seatbelt that long with those forces can either snap or severely injure a rider. What make you think that a seatbelt would have prevented it?

Mack hasn't built a new Log Flume in 20 years. They are out of that market and pushing water coasters instead.

Parc Asterix had to do an environmental study a few months ago that mentioned what their future plans and this weekend, the result of the study was published. Dimension Parcs out of France did an amazing job going through the 1000 pages document and concept arts were extracted and published...

Hopefully those two trains don't accidentally catch fire...

that's odd, I don't see Pirates of the Caribbean at Shanghai Disneyland listed? The boats there are also attached to track and it has a gravity drop. If the Rocking Boat is listed as a coaster, Pirates in Shanghai Disneyland is one as well.

To add to that, I found a photo of the Falcon at Sunac Land Wuxi CSEI plate. It is seen on the left as the train leaves the station.

When I did some behind the scenes visits in China, I saw the hidden CSEI information plates. CSEI is the equivalent of TUI in China, in charge of inspecting and certifying rides among many other things. The plate mentions ride height, number of trains and cars, manufacturer information and...

It was originally planned for 2024, but has been pushed back to 2025. In 2024, Futuroscope will be opening two new family rides and a family theater. The rides are an ART Engineering Wild Swing (like FamilyPark in Austria is also adding) and a baby flume from either Zamperla or Soquet. The...

My personal goal is to ride every B&M Inverted Coaster in the world and I've gotten through a few of them already. I set that goal while writing a novel about them for my website and I counted like 13 rides missing for the full set. My list so far looks like this: 1- Pyrenees at Parque Espana...

After years of ride removals, the next ride to leave Walibi Holland is the Wild Mouse. Flying Dutchman Gold Mine is already getting removed and moving to the small Mer de Sable park in France. Here is a link showing pictures of the removal: http://www.parczone.com/actu.php?idr=209 . Mer De...

My favorite haunted house was the "All Night DrIvE In" at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights in 2003. It was set up in one of the soundstage and had those amazing sets from Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Actors were great and the whole thing...

Maybe the launched coaster cars are due to a specific theming requirement that the Dubai park wanted? Thus, Gerstlauer had to design the ride like that...

The headknocker tunnel is after the helix (between the second and third lift), the train goes up a hill, then quickly drops down into a tunnel. The top of the tunnel comes close to the riders head. Right after is the turn into the third lift. Before they added the chain, there was a distinct...

Until 2007 or 2008, there was no chain on that section of the ride. It was just an uphill brake run along with a camera pointed specifially there. The reason is simple: to be able to e-stop a train that has a guest standing up and that would be severely injured by the headknocker tunnel. In case...
