New enthusiast debate; when does an airtime hill become a top hat? This one on Kondaa is pretty steep though https://rcdb.com/15207.htm#p=126467

I mean I was under the impression the ride was done and it was a case of getting the mechanical systems to work properly. But now it seems like The whole attraction must be on a monthly payment plan or something.

How come they didn't finish the track? The ride was due to open before covid!

The article literally says: Regardless of which roller coaster the choice falls on, it won't be ready for the 2023 season and only maybe until the following year.

That said, you have to wonder why a park would get a layout like that. Launch aside, to me it looks like the Intamin version of this:

I was disappointed they didn't have the EDM playing in the morning, they only turned it on later in the afternoon. The queue was interesting, its like they briefed the architect into making cattle pens an architectural statement. If there was actual theming in between all the walkways (like in...

Intamin have even more Hot Racer designs on their website.

Do they really think like that though? They get paid. Extending that line of thinking, would Vekoma say "No don't order Roller Skaters from us because we'd prefer to build and market tilt coasters"?

Yes:

It's not a coaster, but can I nominate every ghost train, particularly the ones everyone speaks about like Bla Taget at Grona Lund or the one at Knoebels. Every ghost train feels the same, are non memorable, I've literally never ridden one and wanted to get back in line to appreciate it more.

Do you have the cred for the SBF mining race coaster there too?

Some footage on the ride a few days before the planned opening.

I think it gets way more hate than it deserves, I gladly rode multiple times. But still, it's not as good as Baron 1898.

No, they are rough and uncomfortable.

Or Van Helsings garage? Or temple of the night hawk? Or Vogel Rok? Or X no way out?Or whatever the one at Bobbejaanland is? Or....

Rode it this afternoon. High winds have kept the ride closed for most of today (Trident didn't open at all) but I was lucky to snag a ride around 3.30. Rides like a good GCI and felt quite similar actually...lots of quick pops of airtime and floater on the larger hills. On another forum...

Would this be for the inclined turntable for Jungle Rush?

It seems like it would be simpler than a regular drop track. Basically it works like a magic carpet ride instead.

I think that sums it up well. For a given region, I don't think it really works to have multiple bus operators on the same route because it is just a completley different type of travel. Like when you make a long distance rail journey or fliight, you typically plan and book ahead, and then get...
