JoshC. Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loggers Creek Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benin Report post 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): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoshC. Report post 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.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benin Report post Posted January 16 Nice to see Bobbie Jobbie starting to put in the effort; the stuff since Forbidden Caves (Spinner retheme and Dreamcatcher themeing) is a step in the right direction...

Loggers Creek Report post Posted January 17 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoshC. Report post Posted February 9 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 Report post Posted February 9 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?
