Well I don't think anyone could've predicted that! Hate the name but.... Visually, I think this will be stunning. The towering inversions, giant support structure and zero-G stall/airtime hill combination over the path will be quite a sight! We might we also see a water splash too? All this talk...

Pretty sure we did considering one of your Icon LOG photos has my friend in it haha I was the tallish blonde guy in the El Toro T shirt? You may have spotted me awkwardly filming everything later in the day [emoji23] Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Had the pleasure of riding Icon 6 times today, so thought I'd share a few opinions! Whilst it didn't quite blow my socks off, it was a thoroughly enjoyable ride and fits perfectly into its niche at the park. It's just so smooth, comfortable and incredibly rerideable! It's barely been open 2...

1. Katun: everything you could want from an old-school invert- fast, forceful, intense and perfectly paced 2. Nemesis: Awesome, but just not quite at the same level as Katun 3. Montu: Every element is an event - loved the tunnel, the pacing and the batwing -------(significant gap)--------- 4...

If possible, this would definitely be my number one priority for the Pleasure Beach - PMBO has so much wasted potential! Couldn't Chance Rides do it? After all, they were the ones who acquired of Morgan's assets when they ceased to be in 2001. Lightning Run has a surprisingly similar track...

Sadly, I think the proof is the lack of plural in "Twisted Tiger" - if we were looking at a full on conversion of both sides of Gwazi, they'd definitely need to add an s. That said, if they are cash strapped as the article suggests, there's no reason why they couldn't pull a Kentucky Kingdom and...

The plot thickens! Maybe the video we saw earlier was S&S's proposal that got rejected late in the planning stage? Either way, rcdb has just created an entry for it, which we can presumably take as gospel: https://rcdb.com/16138.htm So it'll an feature an LSM launch and have a height of...

It's amazing what you can pull up on rcdb's random coaster function! Here's a properly vintage steel coaster that may have opened all the way back in 1956: (More photos at https://rcdb.com/3705.htm) Looks like a slightly sketchier version of the modern ABC rides tube coaster, or those wacky...

Completely forgot about this thread! Let's see how much I can remember about early September 2016... Apparently, a surprising amount. I've also saved the best until last. Here we go... Part 4: In and out of Six Flags Great Adventure in a day! Looking back at it, I don't think I've ever had a...

Disgusting. I wonder if this has anything to do with it? Honestly, if you asked me for two reasons for why I haven't gone back since 2013, I'd probably say long queues and short opening hours. If profits are declining, you can either come out fighting and make decent investments and sensible...

Of course they could've replaced it with something better - but that's rather missing the point of the coaster's niche. Whilst something like Lech would be a much better coaster on paper, it just doesn't cater for the same audience as Python does. Python is an entry level looping coaster...

And here's a full-length POV, courtesy of USA Today: https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/experience/america/theme-parks/2017/11/21/hangtime-coaster-knotts-berry-farm-2018/882378001/ Looks like it packs a punch! Some really creative elements and even a bit of airtime - should make a really...

I reckon I very almost have actually! I was impressed with the dispatch times for Batman Arkham Asylum at Parque Warner - I'd say they somehow managed to push out a train every 3 minutes? I mean, there's a small chance they might have managed 2 when I was there? Granted this was mostly because...

Jesus Christ. That first announcement video (with the 3 outlaws) genuinely gave me goosebumps! Looks simply incredible - Cedar Point definitely chose the right time to get their RMC. As others have said, it's pretty much got a bit of every other RMC so far and a bit more. The only thing it's...

That layout really does look brilliant! As others have said, riding single file will be odd, but it's a necessary sacrifice for the versatility, pacing and rapid direction changes that seem to be Raptor's key selling points? T-Rex will likely have a very different feel. As far as capacity is...

Haha thanks! There are only two non-spinning Reverchons listed on rcdb so it feels pretty excluse. The other one is Siberian Tiger at Le Pal - wonder how many people have completed the set? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Part 2: New York City - Culture and...

Thanks for the heads up ATI! Seems like it was media day today, so some rather nice footage has emerged: Think it's safe to say Vekoma have pulled of a stunner here. It slows down once it crests the lift, but that pacing is just incredible! Can't wait to see a full backseat POV! Looks it's...

As if Phantasialand needed to be higher on my bucket list... Since Thunderbird, I've always fantasised about a launched flyer of some kind. If they're fitting the World's longest flying coaster into that area, Vekoma does certainly seem like the logical choice with tighter radii, a smaller track...

Here's one I found which says it's from 2 days ago: To the naked eye, it does look like it crests the false drop a little slower. However, it might be easier to tell if we had a clip of the quad down. They may also have added new parts (or just replaced parts) in the wheel assemblies that...

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but just didn't find it a particularly cohesive and engaging show. And yes, yes, you do. Everybody does. Aaaaanyway. Long time no updates. Quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to save drafts on the new website yet and just haven't had enough time or...
