    I’ll blame posting at 6 in the morning for that, heh. I meant River Country.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    The thought to be cancelled Reflections hotel at Walt Disney World (which was meant to replace the old River Country site) has apparently been resurrected after multiple permits have been filed and construction crew have arrived on site. Disney has yet to comment on the matter...

    Hansa Park | "New and very big" attraction | 2025(?)

    Doesn’t look like whatever the "Best Kept Secret" is will be completed by next year, as Hansa has announced the 2025 addition to be what looks like a Zierer Kontiki named Einars Fjordfahrt, to be placed in the park’s Viking area: It’s set to replace the play area in-between Schlange von...

    TEA Global Attractions Attendance Report 2023

    I don’t mean to imply that anything skeevy is happening, just that I think parks like PA and Europa may have an inherent advantage in the rankings by nature of being multi-day destinations for a lot of people. I love going to Liseberg, but as a non-local I don’t feel the need to go there more...

    TEA Global Attractions Attendance Report 2023

    I do wonder if the numbers for places like Europa, Efteling, PortAventura, and Disney/Universal to an extent aren't at least partially inflated by people visiting the parks for multiple days. PortAventura in particular encourages it with how cheap multi-day passes are compared to single-day ones...

    Hansa Park | "New and very big" attraction | 2025(?)

    FYI, this is not a photo taken by the park. It’s an image sent in by the winners of the puzzle contest to show off the merch they received. It’s likely just an image of a coaster enthusiast’s living room wall and not intended as a clue.

    Indiana Beach I All American Triple Loop | Quimera (Dreier Looper) relocation | 2024

    Tbf, the cause of either incident seem to have been with the lack of proper anti-rollbacks, not so much to do with the restraints. I'll be more concerned if it's going to keep operating without any further modifications to the lift/trains.

    Mandoria | Aquila | Vekoma Family Launch Coaster | 2025

    It looks more like they moved the block brake to after the turn back towards the lift hill as opposed to removing it entirely. There's what looks to be a catwalk attached to the section of track above the path there: On Tiki-Waka there are two bunny hops before the track crosses under the...
