EC!

Doesnt say anywhere Speed was closed yesterday, but I can understand why it was if it did.

Is there a possiblilty that this ride will be closed for a long time until it is deemed safe by health and safety again like Slammer(although not caused by an incident) and Hydro as I think the best thing for this ride is for it to be closed for a while at least so everyone knows its safe. That video chills me to the bone as they sound so scared, I would scared as hell if I was on there, my thoughts go out to the injured teenagers who were on that ride. I hope their recovery is speedy!

This must have caused major stess on that part of the track where it crashed as well. I hope they keep it closed until they 100% know what went wrong and how for it never to happen again.

I think this is the worst incident I have heard so far for a uk theme park since the Hydro tragedy 11 years ago, hope everyone is okay!

Well usually the hype comes from people who have ridden them, so I'm not judging till I have actually ridden it.

No worries man, and yeah it is a bit odd, I would have prefered white but then I do quite like the colour scheme still.

With Wicked cyclone the immediate supports touching the track are steel but most of the rest of the support structure atleast for the taller parts of support structure is wood just painted grey, it gives the illusion more is steel then actually is tbh. Plus Twisted Colossus is seen as a hybrid by Six Flags, as it has been marketed by them as the worlds longest hybrid coaster. As you can see here this was it during the construction, when they started painting, a lot of the ride is still wood...

POV!!!! Reverse (looking at riders) POV From reading around sites and forums, this ride seems to have been classed better then any other rides at Magic Mountain, so that hype seems to be going strong still, can't wait to try this out next year!! Just to compare also here is its now also open RMC Brother, WIcked Cyclone! I'm not sure which I like the look of better And its Reverse POV From these POV's these 2 creations seem to be a lot more airtime focused then previous RMC models also which is a good thing!

So, its very slight but supposedly this is a little 15 mph launch into the prelift hill section, that people who have been on the ride for the pass preview, has meant it has small pops of airtime on that part, I mean I will believe it when I see a slightly better video but this looks interesting... https://instagram.com/p/22SOYfCvBo/

It was £16 the other week!? weird...

Nah they are £16 for AP holders at least that is what I saw on the website.

Yes.

Baron 1898 looking graceful!! Truly stunning and beautiful coaster!!

This support is so vile and ridiculous... I love it!! <3 I love this last photo, really shows how MASSIVE this is!! This is going to be one evil beast of a ride!

I want to go there so bad now! The speed it takes on that immelmann is quite fast for a dive coaster which looks promising

I wonder if it will be just a regular Zamperla Disk'O or the Disk'O Coaster version?

I will be there but with work colleagues so, I might occasionally bump into you guys and say hi

Drenched is open, they have posted videos of it open this year on facebook

I could actually do this one! I won't have any exams left and, I will still be home because of the study leave period, put me down as maybe I will deffo try and atleast make Drayton as I have never been there before

Come in Dean I was there with you and it was not forceless or boring it just had a hideous rattle that was worse then the worst rides I've had on Colossus, but it was still a very intense in parts, that zero-G roll <3 <3

Magnificent looking coasts <3 <3 some people are saying that this "inversion" is just a very overbanked turn and some are saying it's a corkscrew so we will have to see what happens in later construction updates but it already looks so so good!!

Few photos of Twisted Colossus looking extra twisty

More pictures of construction!! Looking fab so far!! Plus IMAscore has composed new music for six rides in Phantasialand. The rides are: River Quest (didn't have any music before.) Mystery Castle Talocan (Doesn't have the Narnia track now.) Colorado Adventure Hotel Tartüff (Fun house) Temple of the Night Hawk The new coaster will also have IMAscore music. Here's Talocan. Here is Temple of the night hawk's. Source: http://www.looopings.nl/weblog/3626/Nieuwe-muziek-voor-zes-attracties-in-Phantasialand.html Plus here is a list of more improvements that have happened during the closed season. -Lots of details added all over the park. -Some standard looking walls near River Quest have been decorated to look more like castle walls. -Africa has a lot of small details and stuff added. -Loads of stuff in the park has gotten a paint job, including Berlin, Black Mamba's queue and China. -Flowers added -River Quest queue has gotten a big make-over -Not entirely sure, but on the photos it looks like Black Mamba has gotten a paint job too. There is also a new show. Ohh Phantasialand

So this ride opened the other day, and I think the ride in general looks fab Here is the offride

From Towers times. Source: I think it is terrible this, the fact that so many rides will have staggered opening and the fact it is now closing earlier. Its just not acceptable...
