  1. Have always wondered about this too. Though I think that one person wouldn't make a difference too a god knows how many tonne ride. Also, realistically the ride would never be balanced in operation, it can operate without all the seats filled and everyone weighs a different amount, so thinking it's a made up excuse... Have had Detonator, Rumba and Colossus all to myself before, fun fun.
  2. Riiight.During summer I was away around Lake Garda and very luckily got a chance to visit Gardaland. For me Gardaland has always been the kind've park I hear about, but never really research into. So this would be a really nice new experience. Trip report time then, large pictures ahead!Gardaland did a great job at the entrance with its many topiaries and nicely themed water effects, it even had it's own cheesy theme music with lyrics! Got into the park very promptly considering how busy it was so a big plus there. First ride of the day was BLUE THUNDER. The parks Vekoma SLC. Advise anyone not to sit at the back unless you want a brain hemorrhage. Seriously. Apart from that it was a fun ride with a nice water effect half way through. Only thing that really kinda sucked was that theming was kept to a bare minimum and the queue line is just one long endless Cattle pen.Did Fuga da Atlantide shortly afterwards and loved it! Very well themed, atmoshperical and exciting drops. Big cattle pen queues again but lovely fans spraying mist, was a scorcher that day. Very very clean water which was also nice.Next up, Space Tower, which funnily appears huuge on the map but in reality it's a tiny little thing. Small, but forceful and reasonably themed. I'm sure you can imagine that I was very excited about seeing Time Voyagers in Italian, though to my disappointment it'd been replaced by Sponge bob 4D *sniff* Not to worry though, the show was far more entertaining than Time Voyagers ever was for me, which is good considering I had no idea what they were saying in Sponge bob.Magic Mountain! The parks Vekoma looping coaster, it had 2 consecutive loops so instantly loved it! Was much smoother the Blue Thunder and really like the fountain in the middle of the helix. No theming but a reasonably short queue and offered lots of nice photo opportunitys around the area.Sequoia Adventure! An S&S Screaming Squirrel. It was weird but hilarious, little theming unfortunately but very nicely situated in the magic mountain area, meaning for near miss or two. I kept this photo large because if you look closely at the guy with his hands up at the front you'll see his hats flying off, action shot ftw! Otherwise a truly strange coaster, but nevertheless a fun ride.Managed to do a lot more that day but really cba to upload that all so will maybe save it for facebook. Final Thoughts:Gardaland was a great mish mash of different rides and themes. Colorado Boat was a real gem, so much fun and wonderfully landscaped. The main criticism I suppose would be that there are some great themes but none of them are consistent. It felt a bit like a badly made rct park at times with random generic paths leading to strangely placed themed presets, that said though I had a fantastic time and recommend it for anyone who has the possibility of going. Thank you Gardaland!

    There should be a little box at the bottom saying "IP .Board Mobile" Change it too "Mania Hub (Import)" and things should go back to normal.

    Welcome back
  10. These Irish kids started threatening me, then they started a fight on me in the Stealth queue for seriously no reason. Bunch of idiots. Saw security with them later on though so it's all good.

    Heard lots of stuff flying around about how the upstairs section will be used as part of the attraction during construction. With extra weight or not, sooner or later that bridge leading up to it will flood...

    I've been told countless times that the addition of more rooms sink the boat.. x)

    ^ The car going down the first drop is far too close too the car at the bottom of the loop, theres a pov of it floating about somewhere on youtube.
