At Phantasialand today and have been the last few days, really wishing I’d extended the stay a few days longer and headed to EP but I’ll save it for later!
I’ll be cautiously checking YouTube for POVs on the day, I’m still so intrigued about the interior queue and the show scenes more than...
From what we've seen so far I'd say it looks rather fab, I'm really excited for this. I do hope the outerbank speeds up a little bit (as I'm sure it will) but it already looks great. The twisted airtime hill after the splashdown doesn't look quite as snappy as I thought it would but hard to...
Not sure about the bright blue on the trains but everything else looks marvellous. I remember the blue in the concept art being a bit darker but I imagine this will fade a little in time so it looks like the old trains a bit more. I can't wait to see what part of the park they burn down in 2026...
Sounds like today and yesterday haven’t been great in terms of availability. Taron running two trains (I think that’s understandable though given the events of the week) but Talocan and Chiapas closed and not looking like they’re opening soon. Does anyone know what’s happening with these? I know...
A 43 year old employee died whilst doing maintenance work on Taron yesterday. I don't think police have release much yet.

I think like any theme, it's great when it's done well and looks awful when done on the cheap. I think a bog standard western theme is great with the right people behind it, hopefully this falls into that category.
This thing looks brutal and I can't wait. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it this year, think I'll have to wait until 2025 but my god am I jealous of anyone going this year.
Wasn't in confirmed that they can't be bothered to blend now? Think the current look is a "stylistic choice". Plus I imagine painting before erection is easier!
Lots of good things in that video that genuinely make me very happy. New theming/refurbed rock work and theming around Colossus, flats being repainted, new toilets (great that they are adding gender neutral ones too), Stealth getting some TLC. These are things that have been needed for years so...
I know you can't judge from a video online, but it's hard to know what to make of it tbh? Somehow to me it seems both well themed and utterly soulless at the same time.
I mean I'm not strictly saying they weren't... heavily inspired by Vekoma's model, but it's just an overbank, right? It's kinda the most extreme looking element you can plonk on one of these family inverts without inverting fully or having big drops etc.
