  1. Hopefully the new trains make the experience better, since the old ones juddered around into position making it very dodgy... Tonnere de Zeus has a great first drop in the back... Goliath at SFMM as well has a great "oh balls" feeling... Honourable mention to Phantom's Revenge for having a great first and second drop combo...
  2. Think they're planning on making the decision by end of year. So could easily be a 2020 new for if they levelled it, 2019 of a RMC conversion...
  3. Could build a RMC (or anything actually good) for the amount to fix it... Scary that the ride requires that much to fix it though... What the hell they been doing with it?

    Or it's all just Towers putting in FAKE CLUES to get the clearly bored enthusiasts excited about this. SAD!
  5. The BillyBird cred is so daft, I'd love to have ridden it more if it wasn't for the stupid climb back up to the station... Movie Park does have a bad rep, though I wonder if that's a leftover from the days before it had anything good? Bandit is bloody terrible though, however not as awful as Coaster Express... I'd be happy to see that entire end of the park levelled tbh...
  6. Also I'm sure there is a "definitive ending" on Feng Ju where the couple embrace (but because of how suddenly it ends if you blink you'll miss it)...
  7. Jesus Christ a person who dislikes Phantasialand! Slagharen has a fab little dark ride, but that's all you missed, besides, only one other park on the same day? Pfft, I did 4 when I did Slagharen (and it DOES annoy me that I have to revisit)... But trying to do not even half a day at Phannyland is ridiculous at the best of times, let alone a big event day... It's definitely a culture thing, and probably works better given that the parks tend to be open for decent periods during busy days...
  8. The VVitch is one of the most over-rated pieces of boring tosh I've had the misfortune to see... Can someone who loves it please actually go into some actual depth of their own opinion as to why it's so good?
  9. It's a bit grim and nonsensical really... Think a lot of parks forget that adding stuff just for the sake of adding stuff isn't always the best solution to something... Though that has made me imagine a what if the Vampire lift hill was completely enclosed, you'd be deaf by lift 2 sure, but would probably have some potential...
  10. What is this I don't even?
  11. There a pic of this? Sounds like the old Great Wall tarp they put up on Dragon Falls a few years back...
  12. Most tend to have a sort of 'queue jump' system nowadays where if it does reject you you get led directly to a person... I love the plane rush because it's SO ridiculous, though it only been down to the allowing actual luggage on the flights and people MUST have it in the overheads... People watching is so fun when travelling anywhere though really...
  13. It's not about stalling though is it? Can't imagine Vortex would like a strong gust of wind hitting it, whereas Zodiac would probably fall apart...
  14. Didn't they already TRY the whole "ride wasn't a success (even though the year it opened wasn't exactly a good year for tourist attractions) so let's add a gimmick to it"... The short termism is killing the parks...
  15. Mean Streak was bloody terrible, glad it's finally gone so I never have to experience the awfulness again... I mean, this could have literally been a Wacky Worm and it still would've been an improvement...
  16. *voms* Someone needs to stop allowing Roland on No Limits when drunk...

    I wonder how much of that was down to the ground survey team getting it completely wrong?
  18. Several Ghost Trains, the Blue Planet thing (I didn't do it, I put money into creds and the ridiculous Star-Flyer instead) and probably some others hidden away... They're all around €3/4 a go though... It just about makes Winter Wonderland look affordable... Just...

    Don't get me started on them completely ignoring the REAL SW6 valley coaster woodie... Are we surprised they'd focus on the pre-show/theme given that there's bugger all to the ride portion? Also one of the images is a TIE Fighter...
  20. Volares are VILE contraptions... Prater is a weird place, it'd be tonnes better if there was some form of wristband system though, getting all the creds is such a wallet eater; but it's obvious why they have it like that... It's a shame cos there were a few other rides I would've happily done if I'd paid say, €20-30 (maybe even €40, since there is a tonne of stuff around) to do so... Shame you didn't do the Boomerang and it's terrifying restraint system though... Best permanent ride there (I went when Olympia Looping was around last year) is Megablitz though, purely because it's firmly beyond the mediocre category that the rest of the park sits in...
  21. It'd be nice if DLP ever got the rides that they deliberately left space for (Indiana Jones dark ride for the example), or a Splash Mountain/Grizzly River Run ride in Frontierland... Let's be honest, they need a clone of the Beauty and the Beast ride Tokyo is getting...
