    Universal IoA | Jurassic World VelociCoaster | Intamin Blitz | 2021

    Well judging from the pov, which I only saw on a mobile phone screen. It looks less slow than I thought it would be. It actually looks not bad. I have doubts still, for example, the two circles in the second part of the ride can't be that much fun. Will it.

    Toverland's Expansion Plan

    Toverland is unfortunately still known for the indoor kids area (and a wooden coaster) for most people. If they rebranded themselves, back then, when they opened the new entrance and Avalon. I think would've generated more traffic. A lot of my friends don't even think of going there still...

    Gröna Lund | Monster | B&M Invert | 2021

    I might have found one thing I don't like that much. Besides I can not ride this soon. The colour scheme of the black and green (looks bright green to me), looks a lot like the energy drink Monster. Unless I missed it completely and this is sponsored by the energy drink.

    Chessington World Of Adventures | Croc Drop | Zamperla Sky (Drop) Tower

    I like it, they did a good job. Someone talked about proportions look off. But I don't even mind that. If they put water or foliage on the roof, would be a little better. It is not a people mover with only 8 riders per time. You almost always need two to keep wait times low.

    Walibi Belgium | Kondaa | Intamin Mega Coaster | 2021

    Looks so much better, when it has a bit more speed. But are these the same length trains as Velocicoaster? Maybe the long trains make it seem slower. Personally I like it more when there is more pace.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Curious to see what this will bring. Still in need of a visit after opening of Batavia. They have to come up with something really good, with all the nice things that opened or opening 'near'-by.

    Tripsdrill | Hals-Über-Kopf & Volldampf | Vekoma STC & Family Boomerang Coaster

    Really nice. This project is only getting better. Curious about the finished landscaping and all.

    WDW Magic Kingdom | Tron Lightcycle Power Run | Vekoma Motorbike Coaster | 2023

    I would've tried to hide the building better. With a sand hill and trees. Or even sink one floor underground. Those huge grey building walls are ugly. Maybe you won't see them when everything is finished. With Guardians of the Galaxy huge walls nearby in a Disney Park. I hoped Disney could've...

    Fårup Sommerland | Fønix | Vekoma | 2022

    Very interesting to follow. This park, and almost all other Danish parks, were customers of the company I used to work for. Denmark (and the rest of Scandinavia) was always lots of fun to got to. And really friendly people to work with.

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    People should not be allowed to use linear + horizon Levelling and orientation lock on onride video's. If you share the video, leave it off. It got old, after the first time you've seen it.

    Universal IoA | Jurassic World VelociCoaster | Intamin Blitz | 2021

    The coaster on the outside looks finished. Testing is well underway. June 10 is two months away. I forgot and can't find the "many-hours" a coaster needs to test before letting people on. But people already been on Velocicoaster. Could it be the theming inside that isn't finished? Covid rules...

    Movie Park Germany | Movie Park Studio Tour | Intamin Multi Dimension Coaster | 2021

    Judging on the video above. I really thought this coaster was something else. Must have powerful story telling, I suppose.

    I know what you mean, but I had to laugh on the hangtime.. @FABH Thanks for the video again. Great work.

    Slowest and fastest coaster braking systems?

    I have a similar example. In this video it is even slow for its kind. Specially before the re-track and the second train is still in the station. (it should start at 2:05 min).

    Should safety boards be themed? Poll

    Also done. And as Hixee pointed out. Curious about the end result.

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg | Pantheon | Intamin LSM Coaster | 2022

    Agree. When I first saw the construction photos of Pantheon, I was like, meh. Half way multi launch section. That spike backwards though. I actually now think, the coaster is incredible form the video's. Smack some massive theming on this one and you have a top 10 coaster, for sure. Some great...

    Emerald Park News/Discussion

    I lived in Cork (IE). Left the country in 2014. And in 2015 they opened Cú Chulainn. Ashamed I was never able to visit the park. When this expansion opens, it might be a good excuse to do a round trip and visit old friends. And have some Tayto's again.

    Universal IoA | Jurassic World VelociCoaster | Intamin Blitz | 2021

    Could be me. But from the testing video's on twitter from the last couple of days: The coaster seems to go faster. Even in the first half, it looks like that. Could be just the angle of filming. I hope it's true. The first half looked a bit too slow.

    Gröna Lund | Monster | B&M Invert | 2021

    Perfect! This is going to be an awesome coaster. Even in slow-motion it looks fast. That figure 8 element, I just now noticed. That looks fun. And this. The design part.

    Gröna Lund | Monster | B&M Invert | 2021

    Yes, like it. Starting underground and the way it fits in the tight space. Excited.
