    Oakwood

    Should something occur out of it, sounds a decent guess to be a retheme of the Wild West Area, especially with Spooky 3D already there and Brer Rabbit needing a replacement... Wait and see I guess... Though let's not compare it to the Paramount Spain version
  2. Tis a shame because the idea behind the use of the Abdabs wasn't a bad one, just poorly executed and open to the elements and guest idiocy...

    It's amazing how fan sites can claim stuff like that yet provide no photographic evidence or in this case be plain wrong...
  4. You'd hope so if they're offering ERT to random groups of people really (and 'hotel' guests)...
  5. Trains don't stop to load as 'normal'... It's akin to Rapids/Flume loading really... Here's a video of it happening on Texas Giant...
  6. So is this effectively hiding the rather out-dated and tatty entrance?

    You'd be surprised how stupid people can be in regards to Fastrack, I've seen people have the Unlimited at Chessie and it was pretty empty on a weekend... Don't Oakwood ever get long enough queues that warrant the use of Fastrack?

    It hasn't killed anyone yet, so it's probably one of most safe rides in the world...
  9. It's a shame that having a good coaster/ride is seen as secondary to having a 'gimmick'... What's Flug's gimmick? Germany's first Wing-Rider, not exactly gonna beat down Europa's efforts now is it?

    Youtube Videos

    78 year old rides her first ever roller coaster as part of a Vodafone campaign... It's a launched Maurer in Holland (Formula-X at Drievliet)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NQBUChBG98Q
  11. I was recently shown a video of Puy du Fou, it's not a ride based park (so people get that idea out now), but it looks so ridiculously over the top and amazing... Nice to see us get one, shame it's in Durham really...
  12. Skyway desperately needs more than just a repaint, it needs re-routing (because looking at a tent or some fields is incredibly exciting), new trains (with more seats) and just a general reworking of the entire system... As mentioned, it's needed a refurb for longer than some people on this forum have actually been alive...
  13. I think that first inversion is one of the reasons I don't seem to go mental over RMC, it just looks VILE... </3
  14. Hollywood unfortunately doesn't have much in the way of room to build something on the scale of Duelling Dragons (not that one would be built and run in the same way as it once was before the multitude of stupidity and injuries built up)... Still, good to see it getting love, hopefully the Tram Tour continues getting investment as well...
  15. Testing testing 1,2,3, won't you come and ride with me? EDIT - Twitter presents us with the Inverted Top Hat...
  16. Yeah I think the trains are that little bit wider, which would be a huge issue on Nemesis... Besides, why fix what ain't broken? The current trains are perfectly fine (bar the oil dripping issue)...
  17. Tayto's is gonna be a Gravity Group one, we all assumed it would be RMC in a similar fashion with this one (because of the Vekoma link)... 83 degree drop and 1.3km long was all I garnered from the stream before giving up, should be stuff on Youtube later I'm sure, but I'm just not THAT interested in RMC...
  18. It's a RMC with 3 inversions... My stream was so awful though </3
  19. It's incomplete... I think it's 12 people per train, and knowing Europa they'll have about 400 trains in operation...

    It didn't open at the start, was also late opening, but not as bad as Rush... It certainly didn't open opening day...
  21. I would laugh excessively if this ended up being sommat crap like a Vekoma Boomerang or sommat... Shame it's really out of the way tbh, 90 minute drive from Stockholm or 2 hours on the train, which could be worse but could be better...
  22. Trying to recreate the original Bubbleworks vibe is the last thing they should think about doing, there's a lot of potential in the ride, and any attempt at resurrecting the original would just feel so off... Get some originality in, rather than reboots...

    The Smiler

    Probs depends on the composite of the track metal really, that and it's also experienced snow, flooding and ridiculously heavy rain since being built... And the weather over winter season when it wasn't running so any rust developing wouldn't be dislodged has been rather ridiculous... Which if the paint wasn't particularly any good at protecting it or the composition of the track being crap, would make a bigger difference in comparison to other rides... I wonder if the mister effect has made much of a difference on the track around it as well... Wouldn't be surprised that much...
