Let's hear your views on theme park accommodation that you've stayed at. 1. Grand Curiosa (Liseberg) Grand Curiosa beats Charles Lindbergh in terms of general hotel atmosphere, food quality, bag storage and others. The only downside to Grand Curiosa is that it does not include entry to the park...

Some of you may remember my first visit to Energylandia in December 2024, possibly one of my most miserable write-ups ever, full of woe and sadness and doom and death and destruction. However, returning with a friend in sunnier weather does wonders as I enjoyed my visit far more this time...

At Austria's Prater, the brakeman-operated wooden coaster Hochschaubahn derails after it takes a corner too fast, injuring 5. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/rollercoaster-viennas-prater-park-derails-153833720.html

Not sure I quite understand these "what if" threads that have been popping up recently. What if Thorpe Park got a giga? It would probably be pretty good if a little short. What if Alton Towers was managed by Aspro instead of Merlin? Major investment probably would have stagnated. What if...

Opens April 10th Hello

This video and Reddit comment suggest that Gardaland could be receiving a major expansion for 2028 near Mammut and Jungle Rapids. It has been named "GDL 28R", with the suggestion that it could mean "Gardaland 2028 Roller Coaster". What do we think of this? The video suggests that it could be...

I've travelled with Coaster Breaks a couple of times in the past now, and the announcement that one of its very own members had planned a day at Emerald Park which included 30 minutes of exclusive ride time on one of their roller coasters was enough to get me back. The last time I visited in...

Arnolds Park has replaced their Roll O Plane with this thing

Monster has left Cedar Point

A disgustingly early start led me towards a 6am(?) flight to Montreal for my first ever domestic flight. Porter Airlines seems unnecessarily lush for providing such short flights and prices were pretty steep too; I'm not sure why a 40 minute flight needs the option to pay for WiFi but I guess...

Dive loop is in; The white pillar appears to be the Zierer Star Shape which is making good progress too.

Pop Expressen at Grona Lund has been removed. From the sound of it, presumably a Break Dance 5 will open in 2027 as a replacement.

Operating with riders

After sleeping peacefully through an overnight thunderstorm, I was up in time for my early departure back up to Toronto. I regret the inability to watch the sunrise over Niagara Falls but that would've been one thing too many to ask of me right now. However, something that I neglected to...

Using Megabus; CAD$19.99 from Union Station to Niagara Falls departing 4:05PM CAD$21.99 from Niagara Falls to Union Station departing 7:00AM

More than exhausted. Toronto was instantly cementing itself as one of the worst cities I had ever visited. Like some architects thought that "city" just meant "some rectangular glass offices". Soulless doesn't even begin to describe it. No passion or heart behind anything here. Industrial...

Hansa Park building something. This is in an area with no height restrictions, some sort of tower would make sense.

The Rita photos and the first two (presumably of the entrance?) do not show, but everything else does. There's also a photo of Smiler in place of Wicker Man. After refreshing the page, everything has loaded. No action required. Great report otherwise. I especially admire your ability to talk at...

Stardust Racers has soft-opened two weeks ahead of its scheduled re-opening of April 6th. People are being allowed into the queue and on the app it is marked with a 35 minute queue. The issue was - I believe - faulty track connectors. Across the entire course of its downtime, workers were...

@James F yes, and they provide a free hot meal as well which - honestly - tasted pretty good. The issue with the headphones was that airline IFE still utilises the circular jacks, whereas with modern phones this was replaced with headphones that go into the charging port instead. I forever...
