    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.

    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........

    After visiting today, I thought that a topic about this impressive park wouldn't go a miss!This park is mainly Simulators and walk through attractions - but still a park not to be missed!I'll spark some rides to talk about...The Mummy Returns - Amazing ride! You're on these crate kind of trains which embark on a journey into the depths of the tomb, where Imhotep wants to capture your souls to gain imortality.The special effects in here are extremely extensive and Universal have really gone the 'extra mile' to make this a ride and a half! You have several transfer tracks within where you will go backwards. There's also turntables and a launch hill! I'm trying not to spoil …

    Valleyfair is my home park, and I'm very proud to state that. Despite the its flaws, the park is in my opinion, one of the parks that has every ingredient needed to be a perfect park.How to make a good park:-Rides-Landscape/Scenery-Food-ShopsRides: At Valleyfair, there are rides for every size. For kiddies, there's 3 different sections dedicated to kids alone! Half Pint Park, Corkscrew Tot Spot, and Kidworks. Each section has various kiddie rides that are fit for kids alone. Rockin Tug, the Foam Ball Factory, and the Hot Air Balloons are some of the highlights of these areas. For families, there are various family rides, from coasters, (Mad Mouse) water rides, (Hydroblast…
