At it's previous home it ran too fast and with lax maintenance, and by what I've heard a good part of the layout is still smooth as a Schwarzkopf should be but the transitions into the loops are the parts that are headache inducingly rough, and of course a couple really rough spots ruin the...

I know Seaworld/Busch Gardens has a hard on for working with B&M but at this point why not just get a Vekoma SFC. Those seem much more fun than these and don't sound approximately 25 years old after opening.

I mean, Dalmaland exists in Zadar and they have a pretty good looking waterpark and amusement park with three coasters and other good looking rides, but I assume you are discounting that since you say "proper theme park" in Dalmatia.

^ Wait, Höllenblitz is built by Schwarzkopf? I know it was refurbed by Gerstlauer but I haven't heard that it was built by Schwarz.

I love how Zamperla simultaneously refurbed the smallest Intamin accelerator and one of the largest. Anyway as per Thundervolt itself, I like this little tunnel they added

I mean... the Six Flags chain is clearly working with Vekoma thrill coasters now since they got that super boomerang 👀 Idk yet of course, y'all have your speculations I probably will never end up in SFM

^ I had forgotten the spike does that little vertical airtime hill... thing...

Well yeah. If it's AUD then it seems ridiculously cheap (70mill AUD is just 46mill USD), and if it's USD then it still seems pretty cheap.

I thought all of them used lap bars?

^ Isn't the entire park always open for only like 6 hours anyway??

Granted I'll probably never in my life end up in CW but still, please not Premier. They DESPERATELY need a new train design but they're just still using those absolutely vile skyrocket trains.

^ Ha, junior outerbank at :48. Anyway, looks like a fun little family coaster with some unique-ish elements and these switch track layouts are always fun.

For the time being I've seen reports of Six Flags parks significantly reducing operations this season so far to make big number look good right before the merger so let's hope it's more Cedar Fair oriented than SF. Yeah depends heavily where in Europe they're from but especially for Brits, the...

Uhhh... This JUST opened. Apparently Gerstlauer still knows how to do proper headbangers. (source; kirmesfanmopohl on Instagram, I just slowed it down)

I don't chase credits so I don't actually have that many coasters under my belt that I can say I had negative conclusions of, because if I hear from people that a coaster is really bad, I don't go on it. If I hear people's head's jiggling from them screaming in vibrato, I don't go on it. If it's...

I promised I tried scouring the thread for answers, but was it actually revealed why it was closed immediately after opening and what they actually did to it in that time?

Just freshly experienced: Two guys in queue behind me yelling at riders at Linnanmäki: "Ahh ahh shut the **** up why are you screaming" and when they ran a test run "Thank god at least no-one screamed that time" and once they themselves got on the ride they spent the whole ride cycle yelling...

^ Wha... How does that happen??? The gondola side of the arm is still much heavier than the counterweight, like this has to be the most freaky combination of perfect amount of momentum during a power cut off combined with perfect wind conditions etc for it to reach equilibrium like that. Never...

This makes me immensely sad. Although I think the decision to dismantle *is a bit overkill when the ride is so tangled in and surely would still get riders with all new trains, I get it, they want to move on and save face. But for me, Jetline beat many a larger and more modern ride in fun and...

^ I absolutely love that support structure for that stall. It almost looks too simple with it pretty much just being an extra pipe behind the track.
