Erm yeah that's red Vekoma track, wow

This is, unfortunately, getting a bit of a tail now. Two employees of the park are suspects in a legal investigation into the accident, on the count of negligent homicide. Source: https://www.express.de/koelner-umland/phantasialand-paukenschlag-nach-taron-todesdrama-1-820879

Green supports! (edit: I've modified the post since the insta story has expired, apparently they've also posted it as a short on youtube which should stay up)

I suspect B&M was willing to give the park a pretty decent discount to have all of their modern models just a few hours drive away from Orlando (IAAPA)

So looking at that artwork, this time the famerang and SFC/STC (do we know which it is?) aren't intertwined? Did we know these were planned for the park? First I've heard of it, but I must admit this hasn't been the highest on my watchlist Also that shade of blue is stunning😍

They don't as far as I'm aware. This is purely an aesthetic decision, and Goliath was only painted blue around 2017. It was neon green with purple supports before (🤢) Absolutely love this shade of blue, hoping for green or yellow for the second coaster!

Thorpe did throw out an opening date before the ride was even completed iirc? Maybe they put too much pressure on Mack/their own teams to get it done, even if they needed to rush things or cut corners? An approach like that should be prohibited by the UK's version of TÜV though, right? It's a...

I doubt the authenticity of this, if this was indeed the problem that caused the closure then there would've been no way in hell for Thorpe to be able to open Hyperia again on the 29th. So why would they have communicated that in the first place?

Seems like some nice sharp bits of metal for overexcited kids to run into🤔

Oooh more headchoppers, me like!

How Europa Park has turned a wrecked area into something this beautiful in 10 months is beyond me

I think the question is, can they finish testing with one train? I assume they need both trains cycling at max capacity for the full certification process to be completed

I think it's quite common for Dive Coasters to do the first test runs without the holding brake, we've seen it on multiple other rides

New making of episode, lots of progress on the park! The main building is up and work is coming along nicely on the castle at the entrance. The first pieces of coaster track are also on site. This is one of the 247m model junior coasters, like Frida at Energylandia or those Crazy Cab clones in...

The backwards facing seats on Tonnere 2 Zeus have been removed. The backwards facing final row has been replaced with 2 forward facing rows, increasing capacity from 26 to 28 passengers per train. Apparently this has always been the plan, a project manager said in 2022 the backwards experience...

https://www.instagram.com/p/C4vgbmVoMeN/?igsh=MXgzZWIyeXh1ejZobg== Something new under construction in Klugheim! Can anyone figure out where in the area this is exactly? I think this might be some sort of new viewing area for Taron/Klugheim, I can't imagine this being something really...

This might sound dumb since it's a brand spanking new ride, but man that thing looks smooth.

Walibi Belgium has announced the closure of Gold River Adventure on their socials. Apparently, sharks(!) have been spotted on the security cameras on the ride!🤭 A fun little way to wave an old ride goodbye and tease the potential theme for this new addition! More info to follow over the coming...

The scaffolding around the showbuilding has come down, revealing the absolutely stunning exterior of the abbey ruin. Loads of pics: https://www.looopings.nl/weblog/24891/Steigers-weggehaald-bij-Efteling-attractie-Danse-Macabre-vervallen-abdij-komt-tevoorschijn.html
