    Kings Island | New Adventure Port | Flat Rides | 2023

    This is just a statement of ongoing service. All these companies either have signed contracts to do work with the park currently and/or provide parts or other services to the park. Zamperla, Gravity Group, and GCI are listed along with B&M...all are continuously servicing or improving existing...

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    This. Everyone is so quick to call this project a money laundering scheme while conveniently forgetting or simply not realizing that there is a literal mountain of financial backing behind this project, and I'd think we'd be hard pressed to see anybody try and con the Saudi prince. I'd have to...

    Storyville Gardens theme park coming to Nashville, Tennessee

    It's almost like...it's all vaporware...because they don't yet have funding...and can't purchase rides yet...and that this project has a looooooooong way to go before opening.

    Storyville Gardens theme park coming to Nashville, Tennessee

    Literally nothing that Larson has said is incorrect. My house was under contract for a month before I had the keys and officially owned it. And regardless of whether they do ultimately end up owning this piece of land, it's one of MANY hurdles that'll need to be cleared (as Larson pointed out)...

    Kentucky Kingdom Observations - T3 Closing?

    Ah, yes, the MAN with the inside sources! Is it the Dippin' Dots guy?! Nope, just some dude named Preston.

    Parque Warner Madrid | Gotham City Escape | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    The customer likely would not make this request - instead something like this would be driven by a feature or gimmick attributed to that specific ride (i.e. Sandy's Blasting Bronco's turntable drives the stators to be set on the midplane). Intamin would obviously be aware of this, among other...

    Parque Warner Madrid | Gotham City Escape | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    Imagine having a modular design where you can adjust certain features based on project requirements.

    Hutch's Trip Report Thread - Dutch Wonderland & Hersheypark

    Last I saw him, he took a spin on the pole. Someone should probably go check to see if he's still there 👀👀👀

    Your B&M Count

    How spoiled I am that they have made the biggest quantity of coasters I've ridden: I truncated the above chart since it's pretty tall. As for the list itself:

    Best Euro-fighter

    Monster Dare Devil Dive Tantrum Iron Shark Spongebob Squarepants Rock Bottom Plunge Untamed Mystery Mine Monster is the biggest and best of the Eurofighters and Eurofighter style Infinity coasters I've ridden yet. The drop is tall enough to avoid getting thrown forward and stuck hunched over...

    Top 10(ish): 2024 Edition - page 124

    Sounds like I missed the cutoff for the aggregated CF rankings, but no worry. Here's how my top 20 sits as of now: Velocicoaster found a solid footing at #4. As @Hyde mentioned in his trip report, it's a master class of a ride, but the rides above it (and a lot below it) simply have more...

    Fun Spot Atlanta | ArieForce One | RMC IBox Steel Coaster | 2023

    Jesus, nearly three full pages consisting almost exclusively of bitching about the name? At least it's not yet another rehash of Steel -, Iron -, or Twisted -. And if this is what everyone's stuck on, my prediction might be a pretty hot take for these forums. Regardless of the name or train...

    Why I Ranked VelociCoaster #3 and Why You Should Too

    TEA 2020 Attendance Figures

    If y'all want to deep dive anything regarding this report, please look into how inaccurate it is. They're reporting that Canada's Wonderland, which did not open in 2020, had over one million visitors. They also claim that Disneyland, which only operated for 2.5 months prior to shuttering...
