    League of Goons 2024: Q&A

    This is a bit of a stretch, but I might give it a shot: Do (legally obtained) POV videos count in the ORP catergory? Yes, I am not visible on the video (hopefully), but it is kind of a proof of a ride. Like kinda. If yes: Do Force POVs give extra points? ;-)

    League of Goons 2024: Q&A

    What does the new for 2024 scoring look like for completely redone rides? Like Dinosaurs -> Indiana Jones, or in this case the Geisterschloss at Europa Park being transformed into Castello de Medici. The ride system itself isn’t new, but pretty much everything else is and it is being advertised...

    League of Goons 2024: Results!

    Wow, I seriously didn't expect to sneak up to fourth place. I am afraid that I won't be able to keep up that pace I did in Q2. But I will try anyway :-)

    Bellewaerde Park | Mundo Amazonia | Intamin Rapids & More | 2024

    To be fair, it was open for way longer than TT2. So glad that I did it first thing in the morning on the day of my visit.

    Kings Dominion | Rapterra | B&M Launched Wing Coaster | 2025

    To be fair, the layout looks like a typical bland B&M, with some pacing issues. That non-airtime hill towards the end could really kill any sort of dynamic if the speed of the animation is anything to go by. On the other hand, the rides lengths looks decent. Jokes aside, I am just angry that...

    What theme park has the best 'ladder'?

    Europa-Park. Ba-a-a-Express (obvious) Alpenexpress Enzian (very gentle, but still more thrilling than Ba-a-a-Express) Pegasus (next logical step, get in some height and some more interesting elements) Matterhorn Blitz (the laterals of a wild mouse are the main argument for this to be the next...

    Gardaland | Animal Treasure Island | I Corsari Retheme | 2025

    Reset was closed last time I visited, but now that you mentioned it - i Corsari is the second longest dead-end I know.

    Gardaland | Animal Treasure Island | I Corsari Retheme | 2025

    I believe the overhaul was back in 2018, so actually quite recent. The main reason for the rides short queue was always it's location in the longest dead-end I've ever seen in a theme park. Takes you solid 10 minutes of walking just to get to the next decent ride.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Voltron started running all 7 trains. This does improve the capacity a bit, although I haven’t yet timed it. 6 trains equal ~1500 pph. You really see the closer timing when hitting the top hat. With 6 trains, you are on the top of the element when the next train starts going down the dive loop...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    It may be possible that those stains are from iron in the water. There is an similar issue with Taron, on the drop towards the second launch. However, with Taron, the water just left a brown trail on the ground. With Hyperia, it is sprayed on the tracks for every train, spreading the iron on the...

    Worst coasters you've ridden (Bottom 5/10)

    In no particular order: Bandit @Movie Park Germany This one is infamous for being unbearable rough. The T-Bar restraint makes it even worse, as you keep hitting your thighs when the train whips from side to side. Several SLCs Self explanatory. I would like to note, that not all SLCs are what I...

    WTF Disney?

    The worst about this: If you are staying off property, you will have to wait longer until you can make your reservations that you paid for. That means that over 60,000 people (apparently WDW has >30k hotel rooms) are in front of you to grab the fast passes for the most interesting attractions...

    2 days at Parc Asterix

    After last years visit was dominated by nearly continuous rain, I was eager to return to Parc Asterix for the chance to experience most of their rides in a good weather. Thanks to their great hotel deals (we paid ~520€ for 2 nights + 2 days at the park with 3 people), I had a chance to go back...

    WTF Merlin?

    If it was water and a water ride (+ a hot day), I'd actually find it funny. But this... I have a some words for the guy doing this, but those would get me banned from this forum.
