So following your logic, if I were at a comedy show and I walked out half way through because I wasn't comfortable with the jokes being said, I should feel bad because I'm "privileged" to be able to afford the seats? Nope, sorry. Not how the world works. Sadly there's not really such thing as...

Everyone is perfectly within their right to leave/not visit parks because of their ethics and beliefs, to say otherwise is a bit... dumb? Whilst I wouldn't have personally walked out because of the sponsorship after already handing over the entry fee, each to their own. Also I think you're...

I think 99.9% of guests at Europa Park would rather pay the (already expensive) entry fee and see sponsorships, most of which they probably will not even acknowledge anyway. I agree that sponsorships do cheapen the aesthetic a little, though. The Nordstream sponsorship wasn’t a great look at...

I'm no expert but I imagine a coaster that looks quite daunting but Is actually suitable for a large audience would be perfect for a Universal park? The parks are built for families but with more thrills than a Disney park, so a big Mack launch coaster sounds like a hit tbh. Big, fast, but...

Yet Ride to Happiness proves Mack are capable after all!

I'll definitely swallow my pride and visit Thorpe to ride this, but I do fear that it won't be good enough to warrant many returns visits. They need a big new coaster but the rest of the park just needs a complete overhaul to make it a pleasant destination in my opinion.

Agreed. I think those above who are saying otherwise might have forgotten that you enter it banked to the left already, and banked to the right upon exit, making it appear more drawn out.

This, and wasn't it slowly crumbling? Unless they've refurbed it semi recently?

Hmm I'm hoping they're going to tear down the station and rebuild it but I guess that might be slightly trickier with the zero-g roll back in? Saying that, I don't know how much they'd need to crane in to do that, not an expert!

It's rather brilliant isn't it! I do actually think it would be my number 2 if it wasn't for the trim! Personally I've only had three number ones. Taron from 2019 to 2023, then Kondaa for a day, before I discovered RtH the following morning!

I mean if Superman Escape from Krypton can be classed as 415ft still, I guess TTD can claim whatever they want?

In terms of the coaster itself, Ride to Happiness is my current number one, followed by Kondaa, Taron, Toutatis and Gotham City Escape. I think Taron will always be my number one at heart though, there's just something about it. It feels so epic.

3 trains on GCE all day, quite bad stacking and 80 second plus dispatches. Obviously 80 seconds isn’t the worst operations ever but that’s not great at all if you ask me! Also the preshow is dire and they’d honestly be better off scrapping it! Superman running one train for the first few...

No downtime on GCE today, but 80 second dispatches on a 12 seat train isn’t too amazing in my opinion, but I agree it’s still the best in the park!

So got three rides on Gotham City Escape today, front, back and middle rows. Went into it not expecting much after seeing the testing footage on here but blimey, what a ride! First launch really kicks, far more than Taron’s first launch. The theming before this launch is decent and there’s a...

Damn... Source

I think rather than an obvious Egyptian theme, it'll be something more ambiguous perhaps? I'm thinking something along the lines of the coaster being a huge structure built by an ancient civilisation, something of legend like the Colossus of Rhodes etc. Those hieroglyphs are hinting something...

Trying to book tickets for the weekend after, but the website doesn't like my UK postcode :( Anyone else having issues with the site? Or is it easier to book third party?
