^ The rattle on Big Dipper is very evident from the mounted pov, so judging by this Intamin have seemed to fix whatever caused that on their prototype. Looks really fun. Will they get around to painting those welded (?) spots though? Also I didn't realize these use drive tyres for both launch...

Well I'm glad at least somebody is happy with their spike coaster purchase.

Off topic but ofc I know, but it's not like taxes don't exist in other European countries + paying cash will always feel worse.

...pay cash to use a road? My spoiled ass ought to never leave Finland cause I could not stand having to pay for highways/ferries/bridges/tunnels.

I'm a casual lol Krake - Heide Park Flug Der Dämonen - Also Heide Park Meanwhile I have visited parks 3 times when a B&M was only months away from opening...

It is kinda funny that both Emerald Park and Tripsdrill not only got the same coaster duo but also had unfinished theming at ride opening.

And in that case didn't they actually retrack the whole thing in addition to new trains?

Yep. Ukko at Linnanmäki so presumably any other Maurer Skyloop that I haven't done. You already feel like you're sliding out of your seat on the vertical lift and then you crest over backwards and hang upside down for a couple seconds on that lapbar that feels like it's pressing down on nothing...

So um. Did everyone go out and compliment Zamperla on a great refurb a little too soon?

I live a 2 minute walk from Linnanmäki and I have a season pass, so. Probably goes without saying that it's Taiga 😁 There are much worse coasters to have such easy access to.

Every time a Volare dies, an angel gets their wings. Even if it gets relocated, every closure is a blessing to the world.

Well, a new one with the lapbars and improved tech since Maelstrom at Drayton is technically also a Gyro Swing 😁

And it is open! The season was supposed to begin on the 26th, but the beginning of last week saw huge snowfall in Helsinki which delayed opening preparations enough that the park had to postpone season open to today, the 30th. As compensation, season pass holders were given a free meal ticket...

Is it confirmed that this will be the floorless model? Huss nowadays offers the theater seating option again under the name Top Spin Classic, presumably with updated restraints and seat design given it's a long time since they made a standard model.

It tickles me pink how they seemingly realized the Rimac sponsor box doesn't really blend into the plaza that well so they just went to Bauhaus or something and got a couple potted plants to scatter around the car showcase 😁

^ Millennium Force moment

^ There are many places in the world, I assume many of them in America or catholic countries where those decorations would NOT last a day

^ I don't think anyone's insinuating that it's too stressful for the track/trains, rather that the trains seem like they shuffle/rattle side to side a lot more than usual for a new Mack coaster. Which happens, plenty of manufacturers that deliver smooth coasters have one or two that are rough...

^ Is that a new OTSR design for Gerstlauer? Those are definitely more spacious looking than the trad Eurofighter restraints.

^^ Oh wow, junior indoor swing launch with dark ride section! That's something new.
