May 31, 20187 yr Author comment_258381 Continuing the French park theme, Jardin d'Acclimatation in centre of Paris (right opposite side from DLP) are opening their new Gerst Bobsled this week... It's cute (as is the park, it's a small fair area in the middle of the bigger park)...
July 26, 20187 yr Author comment_259075 Bobbejaanland's new cred for next year has a layout and it's... Weird... So it has the triple launch thing at the start, which is fair enough, but then it ends with a spike as well? Can see it more obviously in the 3d model: Kinda intrigued, certainly fits the theme of mediocre randomness Bobbie Jobbie is perfect at...
August 13, 20187 yr comment_259408 Looks like a faster paced version of Lost Gravity, which is only a good thing in my books.

I love you, you've just made my day! If it makes you feel any better, I've been joking that Helix will be cloned and looking weird as hell propped up on massive supports in a random city in China for a while now. Does that announcement bother you at all is my question now? Knowing that your bae is now no longer unique in this World? Oh and still not as good as Helix...
November 3, 20186 yr comment_261186 Genuinely do not care! I'm always of the mind set that original layouts are better than cloned layouts, but this does nothing to hurt my love for Taron
November 3, 20186 yr Author comment_261188 A massive part of Taron is the landscaping anyway, it's like those Blue Fire clones placed in deserts with no theming whatsoever... Won't affect the quality of the ride, as it'll be a midcard coaster regardless of theme or location...

Though I agree Taiga will be a beast of a ride, and I really can't wait to ride it. Good Intamins
November 19, 20186 yr comment_261424 Genuinely think this has the potential to be in the same league as Taron and/or Helix (delete as appropriate depending on your views on both rides). The launches won't be much faster than Helix, but I see them being much more intense. And the layout just looks like a ton of fun. So it's a bloody solid winner of a ride. It's a shame this ride isn't attracting the same hype as Helix, Taron, Icon and even Asterix21 is. I guess that's down to location, but still...

November 22, 20186 yr comment_261451 This thread is fast becoming the Linnanmaki thread... But with damn good reason.

November 23, 20186 yr comment_261456 Just another of many reasons to make me visit Finland in the coming years. Great to see another Taron type coaster in Europe open up.

It wouldn't surprise me if the clone looked as good if not better than Taron... As I mentioned in my trip report recently (read it), riding a cloned layout, if it doesn't live up to how you remember the original riding, can cause you to question if you've remembered/rated the original correctly. 22 hours ago, ChiapasC. said: #BetterThanHelix #IntaminBetterThanMack I'll see you at the meet! In all seriousness though, can we all actually go ride this coaster and then debate who's bae it's beating. I don't want me and ChiapasC to be the only 2 who go and ride it because that will solve nothing!
November 25, 20186 yr comment_261471 Looks incredible for a smaller park. Having not heard of the place before I google mapped it, good to see they are ideally positioned for an Intamin.
December 2, 20186 yr comment_261613 That sideways tophat non inversion thing it opens with looks awkward. Other than that, love it, especially the last little combo.
December 3, 20186 yr Author comment_261628 This is YEARS away, however this is very much likely to be my new favourite park name: https://rcdb.com/16860.htm https://www.iamexpat.nl/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/tonys-chocolonely-build-chocolate-factory-roller-coaster-zaandam
