JoshC. Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Chocolonely isn't a terrible chocolate brand either tbf, which makes it even more of a plus. They have a good business relationship with Efteling at the mo, so will be interesting to see if that changes over the next couple of years.

Matt 236 Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Might Be worth ‘finally’ getting to Helsinki now for this Taronesque style coaster. This park isnt too too far away from the City either, as I’m aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 It's a city park, it's pretty much the same as Liseberg in terms of location of the city centre... Here's some concept art for the new Gerst Infinity coaster going into Walibi Rhone-Alpes (near the France/Swiss border, Lyon/Geneva way): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Tbf Linnanmäki looks like a solid enough park as it is, just lacked the killer ride. Taiga should take it from a 'visit one day park' to a 'let's plan a trip specifically for this' park for a fair few European enthusiasts. Keep forgetting Walibi RA is getting their Gerst next year. It's slipped under the radar somewhat after the initial buzz. It's got a non-launched semi-shuttle ending, featuring a switch track to get you back to the station, I believe. Still not sure how I feel about that fad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Looks like Tivoli Gardens have a ‘surprisingly’ big year ahead of them for 2019. Source-Blooloop Article On Tivoli. Basically they are spending a lot of money on replacing and updating ride hardware which includes their kiddie and Mack powered coasters amongst others. I will be visiting the park in late April, so it remains difficult to see what will or will not be open in that time, but one will see.

JoshC. Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Damn that's sad. I remember watching a roller coaster documentary in the early-to-mid 2000s and seeing Volcano; was one of the things that sparked my enthusiasm up a level. Never heard great reviews about the ride, but still, sad. And from one coaster blasting off to another exploding onto the scene, the first drop of Dynamite is complete... (From Plohn's Facebook..)

Coaster Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Not a fan of the way Cedar Fair go about things, tbh. Didn't they buy Geauga Lake and close it down purely to eliminate competition for Cedar Point, losing a park over 100 years old with a rich history in the process?

Expand The same could be said really when the Thompson Family shut down Frontier Land in 1999 or (the original) Pleasureland Southport. I’m sure there’s other examples out there too. Doesn’t stop this still being bad though. I'm another who remembers seeing Volcano The Blast on a ride documentary( anyone remember the name), which included other rides such as Men In Black and Millenium Force (an attraction I’ve actually ridden). Still a shame it’s closed though despite it’s numerous issues, let’s hope a decent replacement surpasses it. Dynamite looks great though, it’s nice to see a small park buy a quality Mack coaster there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
