It's a good point and for the most part I agree, but you're a bit harsh on a couple of them 😂 sure superman was usurped by TTD but 6 years is an age in this industry. I mean MF lasted less than 3 months before it was usurped. I guess it's a bit of a problem with buying early versions of rides...

That last helix and turn as seen from above is so aesthetically pleasing.

It's insane. Part of that instant gratification thing our culture has going on. I mean who cares if they reveal some cars today or in two weeks time really?

No need to RIP it. Fairly sure its just moved. Can be seen here these days https://www.google.com/maps/@9.5778237,80.4094782,110m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

Interestingly it only takes only half the old Bollywood property. (I assume the shape of the land area may be a sign to Barcelona fans? 😂 )

Damn you Dr Beeching. Woild have been so much easier. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alton_Towers_railway_station

My dad tells me it's because they've gone woke. I tend to ignore most things my dad tells me these days though 😂

Are you saying you'd rather there be no ride at all instead of TT2?

Despite the awful meme I think if any ride ever won't look slow its probably this one 😂

Some new photos of the Lightning Coaster testing.

From what I understand that's exactly it. After the last accident the cost of insuring the ride went up considerably and along with the decreasing reliability it was either a refurb like this or lose the ride completely. The travesty would have been removing it completely and not doing this to it.

Something completely different. Ethiopia is getting it's first ever looping coaster. A Zhipao built looping coaster will open later this year at the new GAST Conference & Wellness City Resort in Mekele. Not a bad step up for a country that currently only had a single powered dragon as a...

The rumblings are that it's a Turbulence clone. Which would fit the land area. Take that with a pinch of salt however. It would be an odd choice. Korea already has a Turbulence clone.

As far as I know yes. They were very effusive about it when I did a backstage tour of EP a few years ago. Although because the ride was running we couldn't go and see it 😭

It's clever but not even close to the ridiculous tilting 5 way switch on Eurosat. That things ingenious Europa Park quickly becoming a destination park for transfer track nerds. 😂

I was wondering that but I came to the conclusion it's a capacity thing. The turntable has 2 tracks so as soon as the turntable rotates and the other one slots into place the preceding block is then clear While the first train goes through any little show sequence and then does the rocking...

Something I was thinking about earlier. (And yes it's a stupid thing only us nerds will care about) Dodonpa was the fastest looping coaster in the planet by a country mile. What has taken the record now? From my quick calculations the current record list is Beyond The Cloud - 80.5mph Hyperia...

Qiddiya the guys behind Six Flags Saudi and the ridiculous Falcons Flight have announced a new theme park themed to the Dragon Ball franchise. Not much else Is know at the moment but there's certainly a coaster in there https://www.arabnews.com/node/2481016/amp For reference this is...

Jinmas has shown off their new LSM trains for an unknown project at CAAPA. Rather swish looking if you ask me. Bit cylon like.

Reminds me of the Tulip design that was proposed in London. At least it looks less like a... Ummm... Husband replacement baton... Than the London one.
