It's not a major difference, and its a good use of space to fit it in where they did (Even though the show building will look pretty naff if they don't disguise it a bit better). But Disney pride themselves on immersion and consistent theming within their lands, Tron does stand out currently as...

They're both future themes but Tomorrowland is meant to be a coherent look styled to a 50's b-movie spaceport whereas tron was orignally styled to look like modern architecture with digital elements. Futureworld would be a slightly better fit as each pavilion can have a self-contained style. It...

To be fair, the chain guard does look a bit rusted. Maybe he was onto something 😜

Infusion Infusion deserves to be called out in particular. I dont think its bad, but the view that you get of the drop from the bridge is awesome and sells the ride more than other SLCs. The Big One is as imposing and spectacular as a ride can look, both in and out of the park. Though its hard...

For wooden rides, I'd say Oscar's wacky taxi, though it could go to Timberliners in general. They're inherently very sleek looking and their theming always looks awesome (except for maybe T2Z, the theming is on a slipper-y slope :P). Best steel coaster would have to be Velocicoaster, B&M Hypers...

Thats.... actually a really impressive budget. I'm glad that there's been a pattern of investment back into the resorts since their buyout.

I wouldn't say the E-Motion rides count as they had sprung cars to roll around corners and any dampening was incidental. The setup uses the same components but configured for a different function. However, I think the various Antelope coasters DO have a sprung chassis to help with roughness...

It could be, but how much would construction of 2 rides cost? Based on the construction progress, most of the planning and manufacturing was done before the pandemic. Was the ongoing cost of employing the construction team detrimental enough to the company's finances to justify them stopping &...

Tbh I'm more excited than if it would have been a B&M hyper. It definitely could be longer, but the elements look so strong and relentless that it'd be an incredible experience nonetheless, and it has enough uniqueness to really work in its favour imo. If it does turn out to be Mack (which is...

Is it in the middle of being repainted? The yellow/blue rails make it look like one of those bodged panel jobs on cars.

Icon's never had more than a 15-20 minute wait when I've gone so I doubt the capacity will have too much of an effect. It'll be a shame if its an upcharge but I couldn't blame them. I'd gladly pay the fee at least once a trip for a RTH-lite experience.

I always thought the 1.4m height restriction was more of a form of branding. 1.4m means its a "major" coaster that you'll want to challenge yourself by riding, and the more 1.4m rides inflates the value of the park to guests. Changing the restriction of TWD was completely arbitrary when nothing...

I have next to no confidence that this will ever be built.... But God I hope it does, that looks incredible!

Apocalypse at Drayton Manor (please please don't sell!), or the KMG XXL at winter wonderland when excluding drop towers. Both are just such a rush.

Stealth any day of the week. As everyone has already said, the launch is just insane, even when compared to other hydraulic launches its noticeably more forceful. The top hat matches the intensity with the crushing positives and airtime, and the bunny gill is great fun. The launch is...

Grand National is rough as hell but nowhere near as bad as Big Dipper. That thing is a health hazard.

Hex's soundtrack is absolutely stellar. The ride wouldn't work nearly as well as it does without it:

We went to AT for my dads birthday as its been a while, he wanted to reride Nemesis & try out Wicker Man. We hoped that a midweek day would offset the summer crowds slightly as the parents would still be at work... this was a mistake. The park was open 10-7 which was a nice surprise as we were...

There's no evidence whatsoever, but if its a European park then Alton towers. They're due a coaster in the next couple of years; merlin will have a legitimate world first and secret weapon to market with; S&S generally seems to have a mid-tier price range which would allow merlin to theme it out...
