Adventureland Long Island has finally gotten Wave Twister opened and with that RES has gotten at least one of their new prototypes open!

Looks like an alright family ride, I was originally expecting the gondolas to spin more but it seems like their rotation is directly connected to the spin of the arm they're connected to, so they always stay in the same position.

The park is very family oriented. RES already confirms in that video that the ride can be adjusted with different speeds.
I personally think the ride looks awesome and has so much potential. Imagine this with good theming.

So i can see why they play music in the video because it sounds like its on it's last legs already

I suppose this is the best thread for this, Movieland in Italy, the park with some of the most unique ride lineups ever has opened a new area for this year called Bugs Town themed to giant bugs and the old west.

The area includes rethemes of old rides like the neutered Intamin looping starship, and new rides like Driller, which is a modified Schwarzkopf Apollo 14 (presumably the one that used to be in the UK, as the one that was at Slagharen looks to still be on sale) with wings for controlling the swing, a log flume and Casino, a polyp style ride where guests throw balls at eachother! So the unique ride lineup factor continues with this park.

This park is definitely a place I really really wanna see. Their dark ride, tracked ride lineup was already unique as is plus the 1st gen Intamin dropper, with this new area their lineup uniqueness has only continued. Also at least for now when it's new, all the simple animatronic insects where their wings move or the spinning drill on Driller are really cool and nice attention to detail that makes the area much livelier.

Rare to see the cars don't lock into place on the lift, I like that

Tykkimäki amusement park in Finland is replacing their old Mack Powered coaster with a brand new SBF Visa Ultra model of the Family coaster line for the 2026 season.

It's open now, SBF offers two types of trains for this and Tykkimäki got the ones with 2 seats per car (more articulated) like Beerenrausch which is the same model and opened in Germany back in May, the first one of this layout (Roller Coaster F1 in Poland) had older style single lap bar trains, watching povs of Beerenrausch it seems like a much smoother and better fabricated coaster than other SBF family coasters with the same train and track style from just a year or two back so kudos for improving quick.

Funnily enough in the post announcing it's open, the park used an image where the ride is clearly still not done since there's random pieces lying on the lifthill Fun that they're using the same support colour as the old Mack mine train. Fits the park well but I doubt I'll go out to test it this summer.

Here's a peek at the refurbished Treetops coaster from Oakwood, which is apparently still planned to open this year at Walygator Grand Est as "Caicos Expedition".

Good god that looks like it could permanently ruin this hobby for me.

I NEED it.

Kyrgyzstan looks beautiful though, so it's not like a possible trip would be just for this.

Parc des Combes' new Wave Twister is delayed to 2027 due to alignment issues with the track.

Meanwhile, the existing Wave Twister at Adventureland is closed indefinitely after stalling on the turn with riders (the park has gone on to state that they do not know why this happened).

I can't see it this summer. You can see clearly (but I couldn't take a photo) from Anaconda, footers down, but no track, station not even a complete metal shell. Even allowing a minimal theming effort it's nowhere near, and the artwork implies a bit of effort on the theming. Photos in front of and over the fence below

WHY DID SOMEBODY BUY ANOTHER ONE

Furthermore WHY does anybody keep buying rides from RES?!
