Samurai removed in 2020 confirmed.

Dynamite opened in Germany yesterday. Good to see another Mack opening. Because they are the best.

I don't remember that time at all to be honest.

Kind of nice to read an RMC review that isn't completely positive so thanks for that. I had similar problems with the restraints on Goliath and Steel Vengeance and I'm not a big guy but I am relatively tall and found my legs hitting the leg bar constantly.

It's pretty fascinating how quickly we're losing all the flat rides at the moment. A lot of people want more flat rides but the more we lose, the more I think our lord and masters just don't want them in their theme parks.

What. You're kidding me.

I'm calling it. By the end of next year, it will be on the scrapheap.

So what exactly is happening with Enterprise or is it just another Black Bucaneer/ Loggers Leap situation.

to be honest even if they replace it, it will never be as good as buccaneer. For some reason, it always went just that little bit higher then other swinging ships. Some of my my best memories was during fury’s opening year and just staying on it for ten rides in a row, just switching seats after ever cycle. ??

It won’t.

It is no longer on the official website. RIP Black Buccaneer. My best memories of it was arguing with every single guest when I operated it because they refused to sit anywhere but the end rows. Hell on earth.

Reviving the best topic on TPM for y'all. 1. Winjas at Phantasialand are actually awful rollercoasters, the complete antithesis to Fury and Tarantula. A good ride for me isn't one chock full of gimmicks, its fantastic pacing. These rides at every turn kill momentum with their tricks and I hate them. Fear would be a standout European coaster for me if it didn't keep stopping. 2. The New Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris is objectively better than the previous incarnation. Whilst some have bemoaned the unveiling of the actual story, I don't have a problem with this myself. 3. Port Aventura is only popular because its in a sunny climate. It's a dismal theme park and has IMO the worst park guests out there. Silver Star is only fractionally worse then Shambhala but at least German guests know how to wait in line (and Silver Star runs all three trains...) 4. Checking bars at Europa Park is the worst things thats happened this decade, (I jest, Derren Browns ghost train is) 5. Hyper coasters are the best ride types. Better then gigas and stratas.

I'm not sure which one I prefer.

it's most useful at CP I find, when I was at Canadas Wonderland, the top tier only had Leviathan and Behemoth but they had shorter queues then the next tier down rides anyway so it made it a bit of a waste. The only reason it really works at CP is because the higher fastpass is on the lower capacity rides. Even though CP run rides well, Maverick and TTD can't shovel through people like Raptor, Rougarou and Gatekeeper can. Agreed about Port Aventura if only because I genuinely hate Spanish theme parks and I'd rather be the one doing the queuejumping then being incredibly miserable in their standby lines.

Agreed, it is a lightening in a bottle ride and is just utterly theatrical and fantastic from start to finish.

Four months late sorry. I think the CP Fastpass is excellent value personally, particularly the higher tier one. I didn't get it and I kind of wish I had. The silver tier was only on rides that had 5 minute queues anyway so was pretty useless, but being able to unlimited skip Steel Vengeance, Valravn, Maverick and Top thrill dragster would have made the days much easier. It's the one time I would have broken my no pay fastness rule.

My bi-annual report on the worlds best theme park:- Can-Can coaster is a good ride. For those that liked the original which was far more violent, this might disappoint initially. It's definitely now firmly in the family thrill category. It's also a lot busier due it being newer and the trains being one row shorter. VR on this is 'ok', the best part of wearing the headset is getting into the train in a VR world. Thats impressive technology. Once you're in the train though, there's a of waiting around and the VR experience somehow makes the ride seem very short. Madame Frekenreichs curiosity is excellent. A somewhat depressing experience has been turned into sheer joy. The birthday scene at the end is a pure delight. Jom Knopff isn't as good as Circus 99. Whilst the older version was tacky and a bit 80's it at least was visually interesting. Job Knopff, whilst looks better, is actually pretty boring. Most of the ride is just empty tunnels and caves. One scene has a story but thats it. Luckily all the theming for this has been moved onto Gay boat ride and the Vintage cars making them 100% better. Volatarium is excellent, even if completely rips off Soarin'. Amuses me how European audiences barely react to rides whilst Americans woop and cheer. Euro-mir wasn't spinning in the lift hill section. Really odd as it was spinning in all the other areas just not the four minute lift hill. Love, Love, LOVE how they've added steam affects to Alpine Express. Finally saw Blue Fire on a four train operation and they are the slickest, most fantastic operations of any theme park ever. Without fail, a train dispatching every 25 seconds. Silver Star was on three trains, near perfect operations too. Wodan was clearly in a mood as it was stacking a lot and would get stuck in the break run or wouldn't park properly in the station. I have no idea how Scandinavia can open in 3 weeks. It's still very much a building site. It will open on time though because this is Europa Park. Only managed about 30 rides a day though but the park was busier then my previous visits.

As I said a few weeks ago, it's questionable whether Bucaneer will return at all. If it was all fine and dandy it would be constructed and open.

That is most definitely the worst lie to come out of 2016, that's for sure.

I've edited your post for you.

And its open.

I'm like that with bathroom toiletries.

Could depend on when you rode. I seem to remember that you get far longer rides in the morning as the ride hasn't 'warmed' up yet. Of course that could be a decade old information as I haven't had a morning ride on Vortex since 2005 ?

FURY. Also, new ride breaks down creating obligatory anger headline.

Because accommodation makes more money than a theme park ride does. Not only because they can charge £200 a night somehow, but the guests end up spending more on food & drink. I'm still amused by the comments on these things though. I'd aim my.. feedback at Splash Landing hotel still being closed which is just crazy to me.
