^let me guess, you like cherries?
Mine is probably lemon fanta at the moment
-
I see no inline roll in that layout
shame, as it would off nicely finished off what looks to be an amazing coaster. -
I'm at the park today. Live updates can be found here: http://coasterupdates.com/
I probably won't be doing a full trip report for this visit because I still haven't finished my ones from Germany
-
Yay, I'm going tomorrow and hoped it was open. Glad to hear that they've addressed the situation of the fences aswell
-
I'm sure they would keep them working, but if it was a danger to the public I think we can expect to see more of the metal covers under the launch track.

I've finally finished the Phantasialand trip report
sorry for the long wait, I've just had other things on my mind like finishing college and looking for a job 
Watch out, it's even longer than the Movie Park one!
On the second day of our trip, we went to Phantasialand. The park opened at 9, and we still had a 1.5 hour drive to get there, so we woke up at 7 and we were in the car by 7.30. By this time it was pouring down with rain, meaning we couldn't drive too fast, so the journey actually took more time than planned and we ended up arriving at 9.20. This turned out not to be so bad, as after getting our tickets we were in the park by 9.30 and headed straight to Mystery Castle.

Apparently Hopi Hari are getting one of those Intamin 12 inversion coasters.
A No Limits version of the layout and a picture from the Intamin magazine for those who are interested:

I think that's just rumour because they've just bought a 10 inversion coaster. It's the same layout as Colossus, just with the new supports and a cable lift
-
so they've finished a roller coaster, which doesn't open for at least 7 months??? seems legit.
or is there a lot of theming to be done? even without theming I love the look of this ride!
They are building a whole park though, I don't blame them for getting the bigger projects done first

I really thought 12 was the loggers leap station, but now I can see blood patches... I guess I thought that was peeling paint at first
-
And in news closer to home, Phantasialand's new ride for 2013 has a model...
It's SOME undetermined water ride and seems that it will involve some ride retheme (I.e. Colorado Adventure) to remove the remainder of the Wild West and create a massive Mexican area...
The bunny hop after the drop screams Mack to me. Water coaster please

I was told at guest services today that it went up to 6 cars when I went there after lunch.
-
I was there today aswell, I got a bad setting on Samurai aswell, took ages to park too.
Overall ride count:
Stealth x4
The Swarm x3
Nemesis Inferno x2
Colossus x1
Saw x1
Samurai x1
Rumba x1
Rush x1
X:\NWO x1
Detonator x2
Loggers x1
Overall a good day, not great for reliability and operations though. Saw was on 4 cars (went up to 6 at about 1) and breakdowns on Saw, Nemesis Inferno and The Swarm. Also Slammer was obviously still not open. Loading was really slow on some of the coasters aswell (although that might just be me since I only came back from Europa Park 2 weeks ago where everything is really quick)
-
As you can guess from the report, Van Helsing was a particular highlight for me, along with Mystery River and Alien Encounter. I didn't really enjoy Time Riders that much, although I can't argue with you on the theming point.
For me the drop tower just hurt, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more if it either had a floor, or was seated. It didn't stop me going on 3 times though
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

So, during half term Me and my cousin (Lukeeeeeee) went to Germany. Not for the culture or sausages, but for the Theme Parks
In this topic I will post my trip reports and videos (once edited) from the trip.
PART 1:
Movie Park Germany!
I was quite surprised with how good this park actually was. Sure, the coasters might not be the best, but the dark rides are amazing.
The full trip report can be found here
WARNING: very picture and text heavy (over 2000 words), just how you like it.
-
Awesome, it's my cousin's first time so want to get him on most rides
seems like I won't have to use the 20% off fast-track after all.Thanks
-
Any advice for this Sunday (24th)?
-
That's useful to know, I'm visiting Sunday and good to know if it's busy fast-track is a bit cheaper

Banned for being gone away

Good gravy!
Glad nobody was hurt, looks like the water levels were too high and the boats skimmed it on touchdown.Can you imagine the uproar if that had happened over here on say, Tidal Wave.
Looked like quite a bump from the 2nd boat, I'm surprised nobody was hurt. Glad, but surprised.

I am at Cheesington all day today. Check here for regular live updates all day

Hearing that the Fire effect hasn't been working today and Swarm has had some downtime? Curse of the "S" as Stealth and Saw both having downtime aswell!
More of the 'S Curse' as Slammer is shut tomorrow...
Anyway great to see the fire finally working
