Looks like one of the Chinese firms is stepping up their game again. Take a look at the new Vertical Coaster model from Zhipao. Currently undergoing testing at Dinosaur Town in Qingzhen, China. The ride is 35m tall and 750m long, featuring 5 inversions (Loop, Zero-G-Roll, Cobra Roll and Inline...

Must be quickly reaching kingda level heights by now

The accident report has been released. Seems it was an issue miss alignment of the brake fins on the launch track. This caused the reversing train to smash into them and tear them from their mounts. From my own reading of the news recently it seems a third party was brought in around...

Thanks for that. Certainly lends some creedence to the theory. Has anyone seen something similar on European or American rides of similar type? As Duane pointed out to me, I hope this starts when the ride begins to operate or the 2 SBNO B&Ms at Hotgo Dreamworld are 9 years into a potential 20...

First off its 2AM. Goto bed 😂 Secondly Its a much bigger parcel of land than i thought too. Although its an awkward shape. You´d have to imagine that any City Walk and Hotel sites would be situated in the north segment and the park(s) would be in the southern area to keep them away from the...

That tophat is such a elegant structure and quite the visual gateway to the ride area. If the themeing is anywhere near the levels in the artwork this could be rather lovely

Ah then I apologise. Just looked at the dB page and noticed the closure notice. Shall be interesting to see if anything happens in next few years though. I shall edit the original post to reflect it when I'm not lying in bed on my phone 😂 Did you actually read the post? It mentions that...

I'm not. I'm basing it on the DB page so maybe Duane is?

Note: Before we dive in I dont have a conclusive answer for this but its been an interesting bit of research for me so thought I'd put some notes down on here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This has been an...

Knowing part of your schedule for the end of June I reckon Monday 1st of July would require quite some effort 😂

Can we set up some sort of class action law suit for collective trauma? This topic caused Ian to lose his hair kind of thing? 🫣

Some fairly crap shots of construction. Looks like it's proceeding nicely.

I know this is a bit late. But for any who want a better look at the layout here's an image that popped up in Asia Attractions magazine this month. Personally hadn't seen it quite so clearly (although a smaller version was on their press release)

Whoever supplies Mack with blue paint must make a killing on this model alone.

It is indeed. And was my reference for my "joke" as you very kindly put it 😂

Alton could do it if they dug a big enough hole 😂

From what I remember the main issue they were worried about was the permits getting it over the motorway as it would need to be shut for the work to be done. There's not actually that many houses on the way from rulantica to the station (if any?) I may be misremembering slightly but their blue...

What an insane thing to message a theme park about. No wonder they all think we are nuts.

They want to and it's in their long term plans. But they said there's about a billion hurdles to get over first. However it's in their list. So fingers crossed eventually it will happen. Anyone know if the direct Paris to Ringsheim services still run?

Haha its a good rant and i agree. Not heard about changes to Arcadia, Could be good, They made a big change a few years back with that big wrecking ball thing made out of a crane from the docks on the Severn. But that didnt seem to stick. I usually pop into Arcadia once or twice though, Once you...
