I spoke with Joe Draves about this yesterday. He said that the extra track length leads into/in the station due to the longer trains, otherwise the layout is the same. He also confirmed that the prototype issues were fixed with version 2 of the ride (Stunt Pilot, Sköll & Hati & this one), and...

Layout and ride vehicle:

Time for a thread resurrection. An interesting article (in German, but easily translated) on the issues German park managers face post-pandemic. Although it's focused on the new law restricting foreign hires, it includes figures and graphics on European park attendance and values. I.E. I wasn't...

Only now realized that after riding Bobcat at Six Flags Great Escape I've finally ridden every wooden coaster in North America (other than the kiddie coaster at Rye Playland, which adults can't ride). I kind of achieved the milestone in 2019, but Roller Coaster at Upper Clements Park in Nova...

Thread moved until we get park confirmation and digging in the dirt.

No updates, no construction, so thread moved until we have digging in the dirt.

This will hopefully put an end to permit denials for Playland's Castaway Cove by Jay Gillian, who also happens to be the mayor of Ocean City for the past decade. I've always felt it was unfair that Playland's competitor overseas the city's building and zoning permits.

Unfortunately, neither Scott nor I can make it. :( But we have someone covering the event for us, so we'll be posting all the info about the new ???? coaster here and on our socials. :)

I should have posted sooner, but better late than never. During and after filming the POVs, Scott and I took a half dozen rides throughout the day. The front-seat POV was filmed immediately after the first test runs on an empty train. We then jumped on for our on-ride and were surprised at how...

Six Flags Great Adventure and whenever they open a new coaster. +1

The park is making a major announcement at 9am U.S. eastern time. Posting on their social media 10 minutes later. From the email I received:

On June 19th, it had to be e-stopped and riders evacuated after the gondola started swaying and moving awkwardly during the ride cycle.

Last rides on 2. September.

Since the source is an Aussie news station, it's safe to assume it's AUD. So indeed cheap, especially considering $40 million was spent on new rides and upgrades in recent years.

Sydney's iconic harborside theme park has been put up for sale, with the asking price believed to be in the region of $70 million. The land the venue is located on is owned by state government entity Luna Park Reserve Trust, and must remain an entertainment venue even after the sale. Canadian...

Double post 😊 Valleyfair has closed Excalibur, Thunder Canyon, and Renegade "due to significant flooding,". Other attractions remain open with "the vast majority" of the property above the current projected crest of the Minnesota River. Guests are also advised to park at the overflow lot at...

Oaks Amusement Park has reopened AtmosFEAR after closing it due to an incident that left 28 guests upside-down for roughly 25 minutes. Zamperla and an independent inspector have given the go-ahead for the attraction to resume operations, but it will only function in 180° or 260° modes for the...

A 12-year-old boy experienced a medical-related incident outside a pool at Wild Rivers Water Park in Irvine, California. The boy was rushed to a hospital, where he later died. The nature of the medical aid call was not disclosed by the authorities. (Source)

All RMC are saying is that they're working on getting one of their coasters built in the UK, not that it's going to be any of the current projects or the like. They've been offering UK parks discounts just to get one built there.
