  1. I'm Colossos and so's my wife! (Yes, it's being redone because they let it fall into such disrepair and the only way to get it tarted up was to make it DARK and market it as NEW FOR 2019!)
  2. Not really, given that Olympia Looping is the exception rather than the rule and is the biggest transportable coaster out there (for good reasoning)...
  3. Maybe Blackpool could do a Liseberg and instead of opening at 9/10am (most rides open later anyway) and open at 12/1pm (or later) which would allow them to open later? I mean, would 2-10pm hours be better than 9am-5pm?
  4. MickerWan confirmed!
  5. The new RMC will be part of a more themed area, but if they did it for everything they wouldn't be able to expand as ridiculously as they currently are...
  6. MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM LINNANMAKI!
  7. Pre-lift section is up... Go drunk RMC you're home!
  8. Few more bits of concept art for the Walibi Rhone-Alpes coaster (and new area), have I ever said how much I adore their artwork? Also here's the finale: Some of the developments since I've become a goon have become so ridiculous...
  9. If I recall, Chiapas' delay didn't stop them from starting off Klugheim (by time Chiapas opened, Silber Mine was a hole in the ground) so I reckon the same thing would happen... Especially given the complexities of either demolition project... Geister is right underneath half the China area!
  10. Matamba ain't even that much a night (even in height of August) so one would assume you'd be looking at approx £100-150 a night for this... Thorpe seem to be offering a deal but holy crap for the same dates it's £500+ to stay at Shark Hotel?! Literally the same for the staying at Matamba (both with park tickets, but jeez)...
  11. Who eats a dessert a Polle's? The pancake IS the dessert! It's all about the croquettes anyway...
  12. Benin replied to Adam J's topic in General Discussion
  13. Hotel was rumoured for a while, interesting to see them confirm it... Steampunk hotel sounds amazing, wonder if it'll be on level of Matamba or cheaper?
  14. Benin replied to Mark9's topic in General Discussion
    Clearly missing the point when a fair few members on this exact forum are technically illegal in Dubai and surrounding areas due to the out-dated laws... Accusing Mark of being a Daily Mail reader is stealth contender for Post of the Year...
  15. No mention of the food? The food is fab, especially the pancakes Efteling is top tier park; anyone who doesn't like it has no taste or opinion worth talking about...
  16. Benin replied to Mark9's topic in General Discussion
    Would Dubai really be a higher priority than Orlando and the two listed Disney parks? There's a lot of stuff there but beyond Formula Rossa and Flying Aces it's a LOT of mediocrity...
  17. Not sure we can stop the US President from this though........
  18. It's almost akin to the idiocy of Cedar Fair parks closing EVERY SINGLE RIDE as soon as there's a spot of rain... Like even some drizzle was enough to make them close Blue Streak temporarily!
  19. Benin replied to Marc's topic in The Past
    Merlin had the chance to do exactly that after Smiler crashed... Their decisions since show nothing but contempt for "customer experience"...
  20. Benin replied to Marc's topic in The Past
    Be lucky to get any paint given the old "EVERYTHING MUST HAVE A RETURN ON INVESTMENT" nonsense...
  21. It's a city park, it's pretty much the same as Liseberg in terms of location of the city centre... Here's some concept art for the new Gerst Infinity coaster going into Walibi Rhone-Alpes (near the France/Swiss border, Lyon/Geneva way):
  22. Lol at that ridiculous looking hill after the top hat...
  23. *blows dust* 2019 will be the "YEAR OF MAGICKS!" to coincide with the new hotel being built, there's some new additions including what appears to be a walkthrough attraction, a new show and... *checks notes* A new coaster? That's very unexpected, wonder what it is..... SEQUOIA MAGIC LOOP https://www.gardaland.it/en/2019-year-of-magic/#
  24. Benin replied to Benin's topic in Stuff
    I'm very much of the opinion that after this the whole Marvel/superhero film stuff will drop in popularity, but I bet 100% there will be tears by the end of this one... Midnight screening here I come!
  25. This is like, the most common business practice at the moment though? Black Friday is the absolute WORST for 'deals' that are no cheaper than the item was sometimes half a year ago for example... Especially around this time of year, it's always best to wait it out... Though would've thought that because the park was so bad this year the loyal customers wouldn't continue to give their money to them?
