November 18, 20159 yr comment_223611 I think it looks fun too. I do love spinning coasters but hate the fact that they are all... meh.
November 19, 20159 yr comment_223644 Well I thought brave it backwards was a gimmick it would seem you can go one better. It looks stupid and like it wouldn't add much to the ride.
November 19, 20159 yr comment_223647 They're not suggesting adding a spinning car to the back of Blue Fire, they're testing the viability and ridability of spinning cars on Mack megacoasters Calm your hatred
November 19, 20159 yr comment_223648 Fair enough, why would you want a spinning car on a megacoaster though?
November 19, 20159 yr comment_223649 Because spinning through inversions might be fun, but no one knows because no one has done it yet.
November 19, 20159 yr comment_223651 Because spinning through inversions might be fun, but no one knows because no one has done it yet. 4 people have on Blue Fire... That said, Vertigo at Tivoli Gardens provides a similar experience (I.e. spinning/inverting in various axes), and I found that a rather vom-inducing experience... Imagine Blue Fire's inline with spinning involved? Ew... Besides, Blue Fire is perfect as it is...
November 19, 20159 yr comment_223656 I don't think people should immediately call it a bad idea, without at least trying it. I mean, I enjoy dragons fury and I love ble fire so maybe it would be great.

November 30, 20159 yr comment_224156 Europa-Park will be getting a very small kiddie coaster next season for their Ireland area. It makes sense, as the current smallest coaster, Pegasus is far bigger than most park's smallest coaster! This will take them up to 13 rollercoasters!
December 14, 20159 yr comment_224677 Have to say, Chris and I were very impressed by the VR headset on AlpenExpress. I was initially very sceptical of it but it was certainly pleasant enough and added enough to the ride to justify the 2 euro cost.
December 14, 20159 yr comment_224690 I hope if Air becomes VR that they don't charge extra at Towers... We know what M£RLIN are like... I would like to try a VR coaster though, does sound cool.
January 12, 20169 yr comment_225992 Pegasus is getting VR this season. Woo, I hope the implementation (word of the day) is as good as Alpen Express's. Europa have made the right move, putting the VR on the quieter coasters.
January 20, 20169 yr comment_226762 Out of interest why does Silver Star have some huge cover on the drop?

January 20, 20169 yr comment_226777 Silver Star also can't operate beyond 8pm either as a result of its location. Rest of the park is unaffected as I'm aware.
January 21, 20169 yr comment_226828 What happens when the park is open until after 8pm? Does Silver Star close early?
January 21, 20169 yr comment_226829 Yep, but since you have Blue Fire and Wodan open, it really doesn't matter that much...
January 21, 20169 yr comment_226850 That's unfortunate, especially for what is recognised as one of the best operated parks in the world. I'm totally against rides closing early, guess it must be unavoidable though.

I'm totally against rides closing early, guess it must be unavoidable though. In all fairness, it is quite close to the nearby town and in order to try and keep relations with local residents sound [which I'm sure is the case with the vast majority]. Whilst there may be a light noticeable increase to other rides, the good thing about Europa is, the place is regarded as the best park for throughputs in not just Europe, but the whole world. A queue equivalent to 90 minutes on Saw, would be around 30 minutes at Europa.
