Benin

The new Parc Saint Paul map is my new fave thing: *may not look like final product And some construction:

It's not just us, BaronC is allowed to joke as well...

Kinda hope it sticks out the roof of the building tbh... Dreadful all this clone malarky though...

I came in expected all 100 creds in one post. I am disappoint. Hoping for more Danish representation, and of course next year your challenge is the Worst 100

Thorpe's indecisive nature of additions doesn't help... Angry Birds, IAC followed by the scariest rides ever created* is slightly nonsensical when timed into their adverts... *Courtesy of Merlin's PR team.

If they can strike a balance of old and new I don't see too big an issue... They've struggled with money so anything will be a positive step (we hope)... Beyond King Solomon Mines I'm not sure what other vintage rides they could have... A River Caves type ride probably would be a good choice, but without the budget it's questionable how far the vintage rides side can go (especially given the modern regs)...

Going to an empty park ALWAYS shows off a better vibe, especially when it comes to PA who oversell Fastpass more than Thorpe do... It's the definition of a scratch below the surface park, because it looks pretty and is themed to the hilt, but then you realise that it's run like crap and there's very few positive things beyond the 2 B&Ms and Templo del Feugo... That people say Khan is rough when Baco is in the same park still astounds me...

That queue board is why you've not had the 'true' PA experience; like pretty much any park, an empty park is an enjoyable one... It's hard for even PA and their lacklustre operations (mean Baco is still 30 minutes because Baco) to be awful when there's 10 minutes of queue (and likely barely any Fastpass going on)... Those ride opinions are awful though...

I assume it died with the loss of France Telecom as a sponsor (also yes, Princesses)...

People think this is real? Like, seriously guys, this isn't an actual thing... The PR machine is in full flow...

Here's a full list of things that have been done this year (and this is LITERALLY EVERYTHING) - http://www.ep-fans.info/?id=4865&lang=&

If it's anything like Blue Fire or Helix, mediocre will not be sufficient description of it... Where's the 40mph coming from? RCDB has it down at 52mph...

Well that's a waste of the theming isn't it?

Delightfully charming...

Needs to be on Spotify though...

Probably the smell buckets, they'll fade away soon enough when they've emptied and not been refilled...

It won't match, because Wicker Man is a sum of parts attraction (take away one thing, and the experience is lessened). Icon is a bog standard coaster with minimal bells and whistles. As such, you can't really directly compare them...

Only 11 minutes this year, are they even adding ANYTHING?

It's an Intamin multi-launch that's spiting the water coaster...

Can Can Cred has a website, with some new concept art: http://www.eurosat-cancan-coaster.de/

Well at least the first drop will be good (Just like every single Intamin)

OH MY DAYS THATS SOME TOP BANTZ!

If the video is sponsored or they've been invited to an event/test/etc. it's bound to be overwhelmingly positive... Unfortunately if you want the deals (freebies) and monies you gotta go really over the top about these things, which is a shame because it means a reduction in 'true' opinions...

Only cos in one post you were praising staff and then there was one saying they're awful, surely it's obvious how they relate? (Chessie staff aren't very good)
