A drop tower themed to the fall of Barad-Dur seems a nice, easy idea to me. Mystery Castle-style, but the walls are screens and you watch the struggle between Frodo and Gollum as you climb the tower. Once you reach the top, Gollum gets the ring and falls (along with a little pre-drop as you...

Confirmation of sorts from Andreas Andersen that the missing person lost their life. :( https://reflections.liseberg.se/thank-you-for-all-the-kind-messages/ As if losing years of work wasn't already gutting enough, to lose a member of the team as well must be devastating. Slides and steel are...

Isn't the Tolkien estate infamously picky and commandeering when it comes to anything to do with the franchise?

Something doesn't quite sit right with me about the engineer's explanation. Were they constructing the whole project with no fire protection or suppression equipment? Was there no ventilation in the building to prevent the gases building up? Obviously this was a catastrophic accident, but were...

I hadn't seen the clip at 0:44 in that video! Was that part of the main explosion, or was it another mini-belch of flammable gases? (also, where was that filmed from? Liseberg offices?) "That is a bit weird, isn't it?"

I don't think it's just disability access. :( Looking at the places scored 3 and 4 and structural compliance seems to be the main area of concern, and that does include layout and access. So that could explain those low scores, but like Nicky said; what on earth has happened to get a zero?! Did...

I wonder how easy it would be to turn it into a regular hotel, without the space transport arrival and the fixed itinerary? Still have all the activities. but regularly throughout the day instead of at specific times. It should be fairly easy, and far cheaper than demolishing and rebuilding...

Dear Santa Mr. Yasin, My name is Dar, I'm 34 and a half, and I've been a very good thoosie this decade. For the new universal park I would like: A clone of the dueling Mack at epic universe A donkey kong mine cart coaster A clone of velocicoaster but instead of ending after the roll over...

It genuinely baffles me that some americans are so blinded by #teamdonkey and #teamelephant that there's a real possibility that they might elect an actual criminal. Faced with a choice between someone that announced they would be a dictator "just for one day", and someone that is old, it looks...

I think a ride stop is more of a "at the next convenient moment, stop running." and an emergency stop is "STOP RUNNING NOW." So a ride stop would be trains gently stopping at the next block brake. Like when trains are stopped in the station because someone needs help getting on or something...

Weigh them in with the scrap dealer and get a celebration meal for a job well done? :p That's a good point though, how good of a job do ride construction contractors make of recycling the waste from construction? Scrap metal has value, so I assume parks will either deal with it themselves or...

Fingers crossed they knock it down and move the sculpture garden outside the park. Then they can combine that space with the ice blast area for something imposing and eye-catching.

Ah good, someone else with a bit of culture about them :P Saw them in 2022 at Grona Lund, missed every single tiny UK show this year due to work, but got straight onto the Leeds show next year! This hasn't been a year of big shows for me, it's mostly been smaller gigs at the faithful Fulford...

Yes! James from Team GPTerrific doing his best to defend the version he didn't like but was outvoted. I genuinely thought this was a GIF and was waiting for the logo part of the logo to rollercoaster its way behind the lettering! I don't "get" it. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel when I...

He's not only high up in universal creative, he's listed as the inventor on the patents!

Because I'm sad, I looked up the patent. It says the image is an "embodiment" of the ride system described. I guess it doesn't need to be 100% accurate because the train isn't part of the patent proper? Here it is! The claims seem to talk more in detail about the lighting system, and glosses...

I've got my big mug ready to catch all the thoosie tears when we see the first trims on the toparchhat

So they don't have a scare maze in their existing maze? Baffling.

Voltron has a similar spine in certain sections: Image from RCDB https://rcdb.com/7121.htm#p=136766

I guess, technically, the seats really aren't necessary for a rollercoaster to run
