    Kings Dominion | Rapterra | B&M Launched Wing Coaster | 2025

    Parks pay a lot of money for smoothness and reliability, which is one of B&M's unique selling points. If B&M is not going to fix their issues there's a good chance it is going to hurt the brand in long term.

    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    Well... that statement just completely does not add up. Stop acting like woman f*ck around and then just go for abortion because it's possible. Doing an abortion is an incredibly tough decision to make and a decision of which no man will ever understand in terms of how hard it would be to make a...

    Where will the next new-gen Vekoma Flyer go?

    I think the downside of the new generation flying model is that it's a very niche coaster model. The next installation will probably go to a park that has the money to buy one and is also willing to invest in some (light) theming and/or landscaping. I don't see Disney or Universal built one...

    What Manufacturers did Cedar Fair cut ties with, partially or completely? What manufacturers did they stick with?

    I've said this before in a different topic on this forum but... immediately cutting ties with a manufacturer because something went wrong after buying a prototype product (the TT2 transformation) does not make any sense at all. If they wanted to avoid any risk of delay, they should have let...

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    What about a small version of a B&M Hyper, like in one of the Asian Universal parks? That could be a cool fit to the park, right? A signature-ish ride but still rideable by the younger audience.

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    Zamperla did newly innovative modifications to a massive scale attraction. Maybe we shouldn't be too hard on Zamperla and the expectations should have been on the same level when you buy a prototype attraction. I think reviews about the comfort of their trains and the project they did in the...

    What is your favourite coaster that you’ve only ridden once?

    Taron and F.L.Y. - It was a busy day and there's a lot in the park to discover (the lines were long too). But since it's my fav park I visited so far I'll definitely make a future return to do some re-rides.

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    Agree, just making a little fun about it, that's all.

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    They probably don't really have a marketing department. At least, I don't hope so. I am the creative guy for my company's marketing department and if I would come up with this AI crap, my company would probably not be happy with me 😅 But more importantly: I hope the ride is going to be a...

    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    The state of US politics is still very bizarre. The idea that you live in a country inhabited by 360 million people and the only two you can vote for are a lying lunatic and a man with dementia. I feel sorry for you my American friends. I would never - nowhere in the world - support a...

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    I understand and I must say I have many parks higher on my bucket list than Disney Parks (I only visited the Paris version). I guess the thing is: the attention to detail is insane and Disneyland Paris is a beautiful park, and yes I would absolutely love visiting some of the parks in the chain...

    COTALAND | Texas | Gerstlauer Infinity Shuttle (Palindrome) & Vekoma Tilt (Circuit Breaker) & Others

    I can't say I am a big fan of the matching colour scheme either, however I do like the original layout. If it's smooth (you never know with Gerst) it can be a solid support ride next to the tilt-coaster.

    Planet Coaster Smallbuild Challenge

    Hi all! It's been a while ago since we did gaming competitions on this forum. Since competitions take a lot of time that some of us not always have, I was thinking about doing a single challenge. And maybe, if we like it and it's successful, doing more in the future, My thoughts: - Free choice...

    Walibi Holland | YoY | RMC Raptor | 2025

    As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) all the raptors built so far have blueprints that cover a narrow but long stretched area. This ride actually looks to be covering a more-square-ish area. So there's a good chance this layout is going to be very different from what we have seen so far.

    Formula Rossa SBNO

    Not even mentioning the fact that this ride with so many technical parts is standing in a desert that occasionally suffers from sandstorms 😂. Can we just honestly admit that this project is just a ridiculous prestige project?

    Is Hyperia your top UK coaster?

    But is this a fair comparison? I've not ridden both rides, but I know Nemesis is a low to the ground short but action packed ride. Hyperia is a Hyper coaster with big elements and drops. I still think you could make a statement about the ride being short for a ride of it's size.

    Theme park soundtracks that get stuck in your head

    I think it's me, it's probably just not my style. But so many of these ride soundtracks are annoyingly bombastic. I like a good classical soundtrack but I think I find them way to loud and overproduced. I think Efteling is actually a park that does a great job at producing music for their...

    What is your favorite vekoma?

    Since I am Dutch and mostly visited Dutch themeparks, I've ridden a lot of the oldschool ones, however I've not been on many new generation ones yet. My number 1 is a world class one though, and wins by a massive margin: 1. F.L.Y. 2. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (DLP) 3. Rock n' Roller...

    Walt Disney Studios Park further developments

    Adventure World is the first name I would call my Planet Coaster park if I have no interest in taking time to come up with an original name and just want to go full Sandbox. With this name the park can just go any direction. The park can have a bright future, but Disney should watch out the park...
