Do you understand the reason for the fractures? I mean, from what I've heard the launch is pretty intense but how could that lead to spinal fractures and things alike? Very strange... However, hope everyone has recovered well.

Mystic is a solid and neat ride. However, the thing I actually liked the least was the backwards section, the reason being that this wave-turnish element was taken somewhat too slow on the way back and IMO such elements need just the right speed to make the forces work out. Well, on Mystic this...

I rode 'Ride to happiness' last Wednesday. Wow, this is such a good ride. I must say, I went in with mixed expectations. On the one hand, I have never been a particular fan of (conventional) spinning coasters. On the other hand, I've heard so many good things about the coaster. Still, I must say...

Well, I'd say for RMC, inversions and air-time is not necessarily an either/or. ...Looks very sweet

Is Europapark paying other German parks for not breaking their height record? I was already puzzled by Karnan ending up being the very same height as Silver Star and not just one foot taller. And now another hyper that is planed to be just 3m short of it. Come on, break the spell and take it...

Haha, I also rode the two coasters two days ago. Yeah, Mystic is a good Gerst and a very smooth one, indeed. The twisted drop, the nice and floaty zero-g roll and, in particular, the dive loop, are all very well executed. A bit short though... However, I actually wanted to report on another...

Well, you probably should, Denmark plays a very special role in the history of amusement parks being home to the very first park ever built (Bakken, which was founded in 1583 according to RCDB). Also Tivoli Gardens has some significant history to look at. And given its size, the country has...

What a smart move to employ squirrels. Obviously they are a lot faster in operating in large heights without a manlift and safeguarding... ;)

I was at Walibi Belgium on Sunday riding Kandaa for the first time. The park was pretty packed with the regular queue line of Kondaa around and above an hour (single rider was still 30-40 mins) despite decently fast dispatches. Got a few rides including the front and back row in the afternoon...

Definitely, a world-class dark ride is missing here. The ETF trackless system (like Symbolica) would be a great option and I think they haven't exploited the full potential of the ride system yet. For instance, what about having different levels and elevators that bring you from one to the...

I think you are right, although I never really took attention to the theming. Actually I always stayed away from this attraction because that stupid song they used to play in repeat mode caused a pretty annoying ear worm. ;) ...and also because spinning teacups are not exactly my cup of tea...

I finally (actually already three weeks ago) rode one of my most anticipated coasters in Europe: Wildfire at Kolmarden Zoo. What a beautiful park and setting! I went in with high expectations and that coaster delivered. The view, the awesome drop and the fabulous terrain usage and pacing, just...

Well, I don't expect this to come anywhere near FLY (theming-wise) and in particular I don't expect a dedicated themed area you could enter. The plot of land is somewhat lengthy, probably not optimal for something like this. But yeah, a nice theming with some dark ride part seems kind of likely...

Except for the case of moving car dispatches. In this case, train length does not matter anymore and we are back to the number of blocks or better to say the time interval between the closest blocks being the bottleneck... Of course, having blocks every 15 or 20 sec is awkward. But on the other...

territory marking... :cool:

Now, is the brown or that black thick route to the station the actual one? In any case, seems like it has a bit more track before the final break.

Anyone able to judge from the track seen on the picture at RCDB whether this is another Wonder Woman clone or a custom design? :cool: ...or is this information actually known? Sorry, haven't followed the thread that closely...

Since I read the announcement back in April, I was actually hoping that it would be Glenwood Caverns. Now, I'm really glad to hear that this is coming true. 😍 It's such a neat park with such a unique line-up of attractions. An outstanding roller coaster was the only thing that was still missing...

...yeah, in particular as it's supposed to be in a 'challenging location'. Anyway, let's wait for another couple of weeks...

take it one step at a time... :cool:
