Look infinitely more comfortable that the original Flying Dutchman restraints... https://rcdb.com/2514.htm#p=65470 Be interesting to see how comfortable they are though, certainly not as bulky as Air's but potentially allows a bit more in the way of freedom like the Wing-Riders/Invert/whatever other vest restraint B&M are doing on...

Well we live in a world where we don't condemn the actions of those who follow Nazi ideology so who knows where the line is drawn?

I've never understood the wearing passes around necks thing... It's ASKING for them to be nicked or something... One of the worst times was when Chessie (and I think maybe the others?) had the novel idea of allowing MAP holders to use the Fastrack queues for the last hour of the summer holiday... Needless to say the arrogance and downright anger because everyone took use of it meant it never happened again...

It really wasn't that great, last time I rode it it bounced around a few parts as well... I think there's a lack of soul to the Intamin prefabs as well, over engineering removing some of the charm and flaws that wooden coasters work well on... I'm so non plussed at the idea of Colossos being spited...

Well that's..... Flown up quick.....

Do love the troll pic in that article...

It'd probably be a bit nicer if it was on another page (like many other parks where they offer the add-ons AFTER you've selected the tickets, rather than seemingly with desperate abandon throw it in at the first round of negotiations)...

They'll just ask for more regular checks at an internal level... Anything even approaching a hairline fracture will be replaced instantly, as it's quite likely that this could have developed since the annual testing (assuming the American ADIPS works to a similar level as the UK)...

IF the parks got sold off, their success would pretty much be depending on WHO got them... I'd be more optimistic for Chessie's future under Plopsa then say Parques Reunidos (although I'm sure many would not be happy by the further cookie cutter areas that Plopsa would provide) because it would suit their market perfectly... HOWEVER, Thorpe under Plopsa would be completely wrong and arguably suit Parques Reunidos better... I think herein lies the rub, as it's unlikely that Merlin would sell them all off individually (and I also doubt they'd want rid of Legobland), so would there be an individual company willing to take on 3 parks where 2 of them desperately need high levels of reinvestment in infrastructure?

Would we not rather they get their existing houses in order first before spending further monies?

It's a Vekoma thing, like pretty much every single one does the whole "stop, start, stop, start" thing when parking... Though perhaps they've fixed it with newer attractions? My mind is completely blank on the SFCs...

Not sure on any change, the park will have a lot of problems building anything else brand new over there because of the hotel on the other side of the fence and the amount of noise issues... Best thing would be another Vekoma refurb, but with a new lift system (I.e. drive tyres) and trains... If there was one thing that caused issues on 3 trains platforming wise it was the inability of the train to stop (and the poor staff training since the start of this decade #bitter)...

New trains would actually make the back rows accessible without requiring an in depth knowledge of yoga and attempting to keep blood flowing to squished legs... Plus would certainly make the lives of platformers easier... Can't imagine lifting those restraints aren't helping towards preventing any long term back problems...

Imagine doing an AHS maze and not featuring two of the best series of it (the other being Roanoke)...

Cos this shows the lack of direction at the park? A full on scare attraction? At a park not exactly with the market for one? At one where story driven spooky (NOT SCARY) attractions are more suited?

I thought the new entrance wasn't due for next year, could be wrong though... That's some distances between those parks though...

I'm trying to think of other B&M Inverts that could place in that list, and it's quite a struggle... I'd presume Alpengeist would, but Great Bear certainly wouldn't...

Lol the new maze being a paid extra... Well done lads...

Imagine a world without clones though, only three SLCs to endure!

8 people per train at a Six Flags park?

Even Andy Hine can't be THAT excited over a second hand Pinfari...

Fun Fact: The boat ride around the lake used to be FOURTY-FIVE MINUTES long... This has not changed my opinion of this place, compared to the well-run and well-presented Nigloland so not far away, this is a poor RCT beginner level park...

I'm still amazed that's the OFFICIAL image more than anything... Maybe Merlin told Microsoft they'd go to Apple if they killed off Paint?
