Has anyone experienced this ride at Animal Kingdom in Orlando?I think it is really good. Love the start when you get to the top and there's no track ahead of you. First time I rode it I honestly though the ride was broken:)

Right guys, today I thought I would tell you about one of the best funfairs(in my opinion) which exists today. It is called villacher kirchtag and is from the 28th July to 4th August 2013. It is a traditional fair with folk dancing and music but also features a fairly large funpark. The funpark is quite expensive however due to the long ride times you get on the rides(some being around 10 mins) you feel satisfied for your money. The funpark is a great way to get your thrill senses going and is very fun and exciting. The funpark has a great atmosphere. There is also a wide range of food and drinks avalible as well as traditional gingerbread. I am advising you to go and vis…

I have came back from Florida in September 2011, I visited every single park in 2weeks It was possibly the best place I've ever visited so far. I went when I was a lot younger however this past year was the best by far. We flew over to Chicago/Newyork/Florida, It started off easy by going to Sea World enjoying the views and checking out all the different varietys of sea creatures and mammals. And It took us only 30minute into the park we decided to take the leap onto their largest attraction 'Manta' I'm sure to say that ride has to be the best flying coaster I've ridden. I would love Thorpe Park to get one in the near future. They really do pack a punch. We also did…

Weird but strangely beautiful pictures of the leftovers of the washed away 6 flags park..... http://www.lovethesepics.com/2011/05/creepy-crusty-crumbling-illegal-tour-of-abandoned-six-flags-new-orleans-75-pics/Did anyone go while it was open? Mega Zeph looks like it could have been fun.Strange how they seem to have managed to achieve the look Thorpe have been going for without even trying.

As we know Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast will be colsing permatly on august 18th. But what would you kike as a replacmant.Maybe they will keep the ride (Change the theme) but make it 3D without you wearing glasses. Unlike star tours 2 were you will wear glasses. But this is just an idea I thought of frim the back of my head.

Not sure if anyone has been, but the gold coast in australia has a few parks.Tried creating a new topic in Industry Spotlight specifically for this, but Australia needs a topic too. http://www.rcdb.com/1137.htm?p=0New trains on an old Arrow coaster, 'Vampire' I screamed in my mind.They're weird, but according to youtube comments they make the ride much smoother!Before: (Corkscrew)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhn64UlAAF8After: (Sea Viper)

OK, so I am going to Florida in May, with a pass for ALL of the parks.I am wondering, in your opinion, what is the BEST attraction over there? I think it may be Kraken, or the new, rethemed Dueling Dragons in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. What would it be for you?

2 new huge coasters have been built in the States, Intimidator at Carowinds and Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion.Both open today.The main one I wanted to talk about is I305, its the 2nd/3rd (If include one in Japan) Giga coaster built and it looks incredible. The amount of airtime and the quick transitions look fantastic! Shame we'll never see anything like it in this country. Only POV I could find was this one from TPR, so thanks TPR. What do you guys think ?

firstly I'm really surprised theres not a topic on these epic coasters!!! but after recently visiting Universal's Islands Of Adventure I managed to ride the dragons with only a maximum queue time of 15 mins. I'm not sure where to really start with this, the theming was absolutely amazing, along with the rest of the park, but walking through the castle, with ice and candles round every corner, finally reaching the split in the queue, left for fire, right for ice.I got more images but will save them for later........

Has anyone seen this show at Islands of Adventure?. I love it, and must see it everytime I go. I think the effects, the storyline and even the setting is realistic.

To be honest, I was just searching through the internet and a particular ride caught my attention...Black Mamba!This ride is located in phantasialand.This coaster is a Bolliger and Mabillard (B&M) Inverted Coaster.I can not believe, as seen from the video, How close Black Mamba gets to the ground!I think the music that is played on the video is the theme tune music for this ride! (anyone confirm?)Is the music the theme of the ride or just a song that already has an artist. (e.g. Like Tidal Waves songs).Here is a video off of You Tube. Judging by the video, the station theming looks amazing!And the theming around the ride seems incredible!Has anyone here been on t…

NOafter blasting up the launch lift hill to approximately 40mph through a 105ft zero g roll the coaster accelerates down the hill into a cobra roll then directly into a 360 degree loop. the coaster then circled the launch section before going through a corkscrew which enters into hidden track behind the station and storm force acceleration where theres another corkscrew, turnaround and through the on ride photo section and then into the brake run before returning to the station.
