    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    Wasn't my intention to imply this, although I can see how you could read it as that. I was speaking just generally! :)

    Universal's Epic Universe | Orlando USA | Theme Park

    I like Potter, it's part of my childhood, although even I find myself slowly withdrawing from it. I guess partly because we all grow up, but also because Rowling continues to make it harder to seperate her from the work with everything she says/puts out. I know many who don't engage with Potter...

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Serengeti Flyer | S&S Screamin' Swing | 2023

    Yeah I agree that 'Serengeti Swinger' or something does roll off the tongue a lot easier, although I suppose the word 'swinger' perhaps has implications that aren't appropriate for the park! 'Flyer' just sounds pretty meh in my opinion, lacks oomph for me. Paint job looks decent though.

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    Obviously I could be wrong here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the spider/doll aren't too relevant and are just meant to be creepy. I'd say both are quite cliche things you'd usually associate with a haunted house.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Horrible Mack restraints? For me they're on par with the new Intamin ones and even B&M clamshells.

    Defunct coasters you wish you could've ridden

    .... umm, Crystal Beach Cyclone?

    Dollywood | Big Bear Mountain | Vekoma Family Launched Coaster | 2023

    Why is the track so ugly? Weird to see as the usual modern Vekoma track looks lovely.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Same here, and Europa is probably my favourite park :D Think I'll follow suit and do Asterix/Plopsa/Walibi next year instead.

    Moon Dubai

    Is being crammed into a tight skyscraper-corridor with light only coming from the top really utopian? 😂

    Moon Dubai

    Nothing, other than to look cool I guess. It completely contradicts how real cities begin, grow and function.

    Notable Deaths 2022

    I like to think she's having a very awkward conversation with Diana in the afterlife rn

    Moon Dubai

    I love the sheer arrogance and cockiness of these supposed projects, especially those in Dubai. They really think they're doing something huh, do they realise how goofy it all looks 😂 Remember recently they announced 'The Line' I think it was called, just an unrealistic, claustrophobic idea of...

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg | DarKoaster | Intamin Family Multi-Launch (DarKastle Replacement) | 2023

    Does the term 'straddle-coaster" sound just awful, or is it only me? Even the name sounds uncomfortable, I can't imagine hearing a friend say "let's go ride their new straddle-coaster" and feeling excited about it! I am curious to see how this turns out though, despite the lazy marketing claims.

    Europa Park | Eatrenalin | Mack Rides Trackless Gastro-Experience | 2022

    I'm hoping there's a button for each person you can press when you need to go, and that all the other vehicles are made to wait outside the toilets until you're done for maximum awkwardness. But in reality, yeah, I imagine at each scene you might be allowed to just leave, and then the cars...

    TusenFryd | Storm | Gerstlauer Invert | 2023

    Hmm, not sure about this one. Just three slightly different dive loops and an airtime hill, could have been so much more!

    Alton Towers' Next Big Thing?

    If they are getting a flat or two, I just hope they don't slap one of those fashionable Zamperla Nebulaz in that Enterprise spot. Not a fan at all.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I don't know if they'd bother tbh. You barely notice that bounce on Winja's, and I wouldn't say it's particularly exciting. I honestly think the "effect track" is just a flashy pre-show to allow the train ahead to clear the block, at least I think that's more likely than an actual trick track...

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Could the effect track be something as simple as the track vibrating, to give an electric build up sort of sensation? This is all very intriguing!

    Storyville Gardens theme park coming to Nashville, Tennessee

    They really pulled a 'Disney Galactic Starcruiser' on us, huh. Build up the hype and kill off 90% of it with each new promo video... Works every time!

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    Loving the concept, the idea of the coaster being the bolt of electricity between two Tesla towers is genius and I adore it already. Really hoping Europa splash out on this one and theme it brilliantly, I'm sure they will if the artwork is anything to go by.
