    Phantasialand | F. L. Y. | Vekoma Launched Flying Coaster | 2020

    I recommend looking at flying into Amsterdam and stopping at Efteling while you are over there. Amsterdam can be a lot cheaper to fly into. For similar dates in April, Amsterdam is $450 from Florida to Europe. If you are gonna fly all the way to Europe, might as well also see Efteling.

    Sea World San Antonio | Texas Stingray | Wooden Coaster

    Nice. You think we can convince them to release the Iron Gwazi and Icebreaker ones now? But, honestly that POV looked really good. Back-half looks like fast, low to the ground pops of airtime for a pretty long time.

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    Probably. The issue for me is that so much of the identity of Gwazi was tied up in the Lion and Tiger part of it... And this has none of it. So, it doesn't really feel like Gwazi. Saw someone on Reddit dub it Iggy and I feel like that's better than anything I've suggested.

    Easiest nickname is probably something lame like Ron as a counterpoint to SteVe.

    We can just come up with a dumb nickname like SteVe. I like "Rong Wazi", #IRONGWAZI

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Iron Gwazi | RMC Gwazi | 2022

    That is part of it. There are also a lot of rain/thunderstorms during the summer in Florida. There is also the factor of the park having stuff going on with prep for Howl-o-Scream and various other events. They probably don't want construction with Gwazi to be too disruptive to the other...

    God, I really hope it opens at the start of the season. I'll be there about a week into April and really want this to be open

    Barry didn't make landfall in Florida as a Hurricane, so it's not really relevant to Gwazi construction... I was referring to the first hurricane that could potentially threaten construction in a "Zadra" type situation. We may end up watching a couple more storms before the year is over.

    Well, we've already got the first hurricane of the season headed vaguely this direction. Hopefully, it is just the weak southern side of the storm after it has weakened crossing the state.

    Phantasialand | F. L. Y. | Vekoma Launched Flying Coaster | 2020

    I'm sure that, just like Taron, the theming will make or break the ride. And given their history with that, I have faith that they will nail it. I just hope it's open for the start of the season in 2020 because I'm gonna be in Cologne the second week of April. Based on where they are at with...

    Energylandia | Zadra | RMC I-Box

    You don't know about Zedra? The hottest DJ in the Equine EDM scene? He wrote the theme music for Zadra.

    Okay. I see it now. The slanted back support had me seeing something that wasn't there.

    Edit - Nevermind, grainy footage got me.

    Notably, it also appears to exit the stall at a lower height than it enters it.

    Testing has finally started. Maybe the August 15 rumor was just when they planned to start actually testing?

    SeaWorld Orlando | Ice Breaker | Premier Rides Custom Sky Rocket | 2022

    Track looks weird to be Premier Rides. They normally use an open Triangle cross bar to connect the rails to the spine. The track at Seaworld looks like a Solid triangle, which looks a lot more like Vekoma's latest track design than what Premier Rides has been doing. Also, with their flat...
