    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    I stand corrected, confused, and incredibly disappointed.

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    As someone with a whopping zero years of business experience informing my opinion. Even if the $1m a year is true, I don't get how the combine value to the park of having the tallest rollercoaster in the world, formerly the fastest (which people will remember and still associate with the ride)...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    Markers are always ripe for speculation as SOMETHING is happening in the area, regardless of the size. It'd be horrible news if KK were to go, as well as GL. But, other than hearsay suggestions from YouTubers and a screenshot of an apparent article on six flags website, I haven't seen anything...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Awesome! I've hoped that they would do this for years. A dedicated stage for the standard special events would be excellent, but hosting gigs could be a HUGE draw for the park given it's location. Though I agree, I wish they could have at least widened the path towards storm surge as part of...

    Cruises Lines | Maurer Spike Coasters | Carnival Cruise Line & Disney Cruise Line | 2025-2035

    That looks so tacky. Also, HOW are Maurer Selling so many of these? This will be the 7th one sold (one of which being the dueling desmo race) as far as I am aware. Skyline could do with head-hunting some of Maurers marketing team.

    Where will the next new-gen Vekoma Flyer go?

    UGB opens a Jurassic flyer -> Galactica closes due to redundancy/popularity drop -> AT builds a trench-diving Axis in its place. And the world will live as one.

    Dragon Khan's support connectors?

    Hi all, I am currently live on the scene at PA with a question: Does anyone know why Dragon Khan has such narrow support connectors? It seems to be only for the strictly vertical supporting connectors, as the side-mounted connectors, and some of the laterally braced vertical supports have the...

    Where will the next new-gen Vekoma Flyer go?

    I would love to see Universal or Disney give one of these a go, a tamer layout would work wonders for a major Disney ride. However, I can really see this being a one-off smaller installation at one of these middle-eastern megaparks that seems to crop up once in a while and have a standout ride...

    Cedar Point | Siren's Curse | Vekoma Tilt Coaster | 2025

    WOW, what an amazing surprise! That's certainly more exciting than a new waterslide (no offense, waterpark thoosies).

    Icon or Hyperia; which of the UK’s Mack thrill coasters do you prefer?

    It's certainly possible. Enso, despite being ludicrously overpriced, is an incredible experience. Though, it'd lose a good share of it's market appeal due the forced intensity. Also, I'd guess that the added cost of reworking the neighbouring rides to account for the larger clearance envelope...

    WTF Merlin?

    Yeah, I'm not opposed to this. £10 isn't bad for 2 hours of guides and I know my partner would adore this. For non- coaster fans, this is a great alternative way to enjoy the setting while the coaster nerds go off and bake in the smiler queue for 2 hours.

    Maybe they JUST finished putting the train back together that minute

    Is Hyperia your top UK coaster?

    I don't see how adding to the length would ultimately hurt the ride experience. But I found that, by the end of the ride, I'd had a full experience and was almost grateful to catch my breath from it. The trim does make for a bit of a lull in the rides pacing, but it still felt like a complete...

    Is Hyperia your top UK coaster?

    Absolutely. The scale is almost incomparable in the UK, the layout capitalises on it excellently with 3 of the best elements on any ride ever, and it's smooth with comfy trains. Stealth is my #0 ride and still holds value for the amazing launch and adrenaline rush, but I can't say it's even a...

    Last Cred Review

    Hyperia was amazing and lived up to all of my expectations. The first drop and outer bank roll were two of the craziest sensations I've ever felt on a rollercoaster, Mack profiled those to perfection. The stall dive is fantastic, the immelman is forceful, and the final two hills are very fun...

    Thorpe Park - 13/06/24 - I did my waiting!... Twelve years of it!!

    Having thankfully held out on the 13th despite thinking we would be snubbed by the Hyperia closure. We managed to go on seemingly the quietest day of the summer and maged to comfortably get two rides on the 6 hour behemoth, while having time to circle through the rest of the park! Apologies in...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    We just returned from a trip today, having thankfully held out as we already had the annual leave booked off. The growing pains of getting the ride up & running have evaporated. I don't think there was a moment of downtime today, despite the crew consistently dispatching the trains fast enough...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    The same goes for Zamperla, frankly. The amount that they've had to do to fulfil this project is insane. They had the task of refurbishing, repurposing, and extending one of the tallest/fastest rides ever made, with seemingly little to no assistance from the original manufacturer. All of this as...
