The simplest explanation is probably correct. In an effort to cut their prices and be more competitive in a market where B&Ms particular brand of supersized coaster is no longer sold on the numbers they were. B&M will have made some efforts to cut costs across their manufacturing process. I...

You would think, Yet there's 3 big Intamin rides opening in Moscow next year (footers are in already), A Zamperla just opened in Omsk and another one is coming to Belgograd next year. I have no idea how this is happening. But it is.

First thought was that it's the vertical launch coaster for Dream Island but the anti roll backs preclude that So seems it's currently an unknown project.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those lift and launch coasters Merlin have put into their Peppa pig parks. Would fit quite nicely and it's the right size ride.

Next year? Its for 2026. 🙂 I admit In less than a fortnight that will be next year

It's much worse. This isn't huss it's one of the even rarer Schwarzkopf Enterprise models

Basically yeah..but the fishhook would have been so tall that single car train would have easily been past the height of falcon even though it was a shuttle.

It amuses me that while it is the tallest coaster ever built it isn't the tallest coaster almost built. The Vegas fishook would have been taller. If it wasn't for the city of Vegas voting down the project the fishook would have been taller than Falcons Flight over 20 years ago and i assume this...

These photos from China show an interesting ride built by a Chinese aerospace research firm near Xi'an in the early 2010s. The exact purpose of the ride isn't known but it certainly looks like it wouldn't have been a pleasant ride. Photos courtesy of Xiongmao.

Not to drag us off topic again (but seems I am) Myanmar and Liberia also use Imperial. But along with the USA those are the only 3 countries that use wholly imperial. Britain is slowly changing at least. Don't know anyone who measures their weight in stones anymore 🤣 just need to sort the speed...

Official trailer for the park. Looks very well themed. Includes some renders of 2 of the 4 coasters. The SFC and the Ghostrider.

Over Water Roller Coaster, an old school jet coaster at Honey Lake in Shenzhen, China has sat SBNO for 17 years, left to the elements for that whole time I think we all knew it was never coming back. But still kind of sad to see it ripped down.

For those interested the official park announcement is in about 30minutes (probably mostly in Portuguese) at 12:30 GMT

Some video stills of the new B&M taken from this video https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1LRBQYrEP4 The layout has changed slightly from the original concept art, but they have handily updated it with new concept art.

I love finding something weird and this ticks all my boxes, This is the recently opened Roller Coaster at Gohar Park near Sirjan in Iran and it's like nothing I've seen before. Featuring B&M style box track, a vertical loop and a watersplash, the ride was built by Iranian company Shadi Sazan...

A new park for Brazil has been announced for 2027, The park called Cacau Park will be situated near Sao Paulo. The park is being built by Cacau Show which already owns at least one small indoor park in Brazil. And recently bought up the famous Brazilian Playcenter brand...

Sorry for triple post, but as they are all on very different subjects in different countries it seemed easier for people to be able to reply to individual topics :) Happy Valley Shenzhen has announced a swing launch coaster which will take the spot of the parks now defunct Vekoma SLC, Hard to...

It would appear Kaleidoscope Park in Belgorod, Russia will be adding a Zamperla spinning coaster in 2025, A clone of Wild Mouse at Cedar Point. This will be the parks first roller coaster. Once again no idea how they got arould sanctions (Do they even cover amusement rides?)

The B&M Batman: The Ride clone at Wonderla Chennai in India has gone vertical. This ride was previously located at Kuwait Entertainment City as Lightning.

Should be popping down Thursday morning. Turns out I've got at least +3 maybe +4 to pick up somehow so going to need to take out a loan.
