    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Just ignoring the EU flag and assuming it means Europe as a whole? I'd say it can't be the UK because we were dumb enough not to be in it. Also counts out Norway.

    Most spurious/obscure theme park “world’s first” or record claim?

    I'd list it as something like this (May have missed a few but can edit later 😂 ) A Tier Records Longest Roller Coaster In The World Tallest Roller Coaster In The World Fastest Roller Coaster In The World Most Inversions In The World B Tier Records Steepest Roller Coaster In The World Worlds...

    Six Flags Over Georgia | Georgia Goldrusher | Intamin Ultra Surf | 2025

    This ride was 2nd hand although it was never built at it's original location. Always seemed to me SF took the cheap option and didn't bother repainting it to better fit the area and then shoehorned in the name to fit the colours. Hopefully with the merger and CF we will have a little less of...

    Coaster Boneyard

    I went for coasters that are lying around in pieces so the list didn't get too stupidly long 🤣 The DB lists over 300 SBNO coasters which is kind of insane. Wonderland Eurasia must take the biscuit though.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Coaster Boneyard

    While technically not boneyards there are plenty of coasters lying around doing nothing in fields, construction yards and in one case an old public park. Here's a quick off the top of my head list of whats lying around out there and their locations. Theres plenty of smaller rides out there too...

    Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

    Id forgotten I even made that's spreadsheet. 🤣 Although I've posted on that Dutch thread before just not under this username. As for the colour it is very odd. Looks like they've tried to repaint it but only did half of it.

    Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

    Ah Ciclone there she is. This coaster has a LOOOOOONG history. Originally set up at Play Center in Sao Paulo all the way back in 1970 https://rcdb.com/3270.htm She was sold on to a travelling fair in 1973 and travelled around South America for decades all the way up to at least 2018 when...

    Formula Rossa SBNO

    Think I lucked out when I went. It was before mission Ferrari was a thing although I think the previous ride had closed already. But not only were Formula Rossa and Flying Aces both open, GT had both sides running and Turbo Track ran in the afternoon. I actually loved GT with both trains...

    Six Flags Magic Mountain | Unknown | Vekoma Thrill Glider | 2026

    Not all thrill glider models are suspended. Although the footers suggest this one is. Here's an example of a non suspended model

    Gigs 'n' Tours

    2024 was my best year so far for gigs. I was hoping for the full 52 a gig a week, but conflicts and work got in the way. So a shockingly short 46 will have to do. here's my years list note - The way i do this is a gig i specifically goto to see a band is +1 (so Blossoms and Noel Gallagher cound...

    Why do enthusiasts suddenly love an attraction once it's closure was announced?

    There's also a certain amount of bias here. The majority of people only ever post about rides they really love or really hate. For example I don't think I've ever posted my feelings on Vortex at Carowinds or Silver Bullet at Knotts. I like both rides a lot but they aren't the best in class by...

    Thoughts on Hyde Park Winter Wonderland?

    I couldn't disagree more. For me while it's here for me it's easily the 2nd best coaster in the UK without question. The forces from the backrow beat anything we have except nemesis. The restraints suck ass sure. But it's a brilliant ride and I'll be devastated when it stops coming here.

    What’s behind the recent rise in “rattle” criticism on new rides?

    The simplest explanation is probably correct. In an effort to cut their prices and be more competitive in a market where B&Ms particular brand of supersized coaster is no longer sold on the numbers they were. B&M will have made some efforts to cut costs across their manufacturing process. I...

    Mystery Intamin track spotted - potential major new coaster on the horizon?

    You would think, Yet there's 3 big Intamin rides opening in Moscow next year (footers are in already), A Zamperla just opened in Omsk and another one is coming to Belgograd next year. I have no idea how this is happening. But it is.

    Mystery Intamin track spotted - potential major new coaster on the horizon?

    First thought was that it's the vertical launch coaster for Dream Island but the anti roll backs preclude that So seems it's currently an unknown project.

    Alton Towers | Unknown | Unknown Junior Coaster | 2026

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those lift and launch coasters Merlin have put into their Peppa pig parks. Would fit quite nicely and it's the right size ride.
