I’m happy to report Iron Gwazi is back to running 2 trains. Dispatches taking around 2 1/2 minutes and the park is more crowded than usual with a lot of school groups and it being the first day of Christmas Town. The wait is still only around 15 minutes. -
Supernovae Productions on a Theme Park Roadtrip to Sweden Summer vacation 2025 meant one thing this year: a trip ending at Liseberg in Sweden. To prep for it, we mapped out a route using Coast2Coaster, hitting several parks along the way. Starting from Rotterdam, our journey took us through Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and back again. Day 1: Tier-und Freizeitpark Thule Day 2: Pottspark Day 3: Rasti-land And now we’re at Day 4, where the first major park is on the schedule. Today, we’re heading to Soltau for Heide Park. Supernovae78 and CoasterIris had visited before, but Supernovae Jr. was about to get his theme park baptism. If you’d rather watch a vlog full of nonsense, click this link: At Heide Park, no on-ride filming is allowed, so we focused on off-ride shots to make the vlog as fun as possible. Traffic delayed us, and we didn’t arrive until 11:00 AM instead of 10:00. Luckily, we had already booked the Express Pass – the silver version – allowing us to skip the line once for Colossus, Krake, Scream, Desert Race, and Flug der Dämonen. So arriving an hour later wasn’t a big deal. And here we are! Since 2016, the park has a “How to Train Your Dragon” area. We started there with Drachengrotte, a scenic boat ride through scenes from the films. It was a bit underwhelming on action, but hey… Toothless was there! Plus, the line was under 15 minutes, so easy to hop on. Nearby was Hicks Himmelsstürmer, a Zamperla kite flyer giving the feeling of flying on Berk’s dragons. CoasterIris worried it would be a “tosti-ride,” but it was surprisingly chill—perfect for a nap! While walking through the area, we noticed a coaster neither Supernovae78 nor CoasterIris remembered riding: Grottenblitz, a powered Mack coaster from 1985 (the Big Loop is from 1983). It even has an indoor themed section, added for the park’s 40th anniversary. A fun ride for all ages, and we wondered why we hadn’t remembered it before—probably didn’t have time or it didn’t stand out. Time for food! We stumbled upon a stall with delicious ham sandwiches. Definitely confirmed that Germany beats the Netherlands in price-quality ratio. The day was hot again (about 33°C), so we hit Mountain Rafting, a river rapids ride nearby. Fun layout with recurring elements, but sadly we didn’t get soaked. Next up: Colossos, the park’s wooden giant. Supernovae78 missed this bac in 2016 when it was closed for renovation, but now reopened in 2018 as Colossus – Kampf der Giganten, it was smooth but still had that wooden coaster rumble. Supernovae78 and Supernovae Jr. gave it a thumbs-up—it’s now top of our woodie list. We also tried Desert Race, an Intamin launched coaster (a cousin of Rita at Alton Towers). Fast launch, fun layout, but way too short—it’s over before you know it. Time for a break by the water, perfect spot for filming some shots of other coasters. Then it was action again: Krake, a B&M dive coaster. Splash is nice, theming is fun, but not the best dive coaster we’ve ridden. Next to it: Flug der Dämonen, a Wing Coaster. Definitely a standout, especially from the outside seats—huge step up from something like Fenix at Toverland. Then there’s the Bobbahn, a Mack bobsled coaster with… two lift hills! Technically the second is near the end, but it counts. Currently the tallest and longest of its type worldwide, though we still miss the Intamin versions, which felt more like actual bobsledding. And towering over everything: Scream, the Gyro-Drop-Tower. Once the tallest in the world until Hansa Park built theirs in 2019. Still a stomach-dropper! End of the day approached. We skipped rides like Big Loop and Toxic Garden due to the heat. Instead, one more backseat ride on Colossus—slightly rougher but still smooth. Dinner? Buffet at Heide Park Resort Hotel. Normally guests have priority, but luck was on our side—amazing food! Park Verdict: A super fun park with plenty of attractions, though sadly not much new in the past 9 years. Operations can be slow, so the Express Pass was essential. Definitely a park worth visiting! Next up: two days of rest and then off to Denmark for Fårup Sommerland and Djurs Sommerland. So the next trip report will be Day 7. -

Quite right. The lift hill is only up to 190FT at the moment. Another 119FT still to go. -
When the park posted the 2nd photo, they said the track was at 190 feet. -

Herschend Family Entertainment has announced that they have signed a terms sheet to acquire Silverwood and Boulder Beach. Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation (“Herschend”), the world’s largest family-held themed attractions company, and Silverwood, Inc., owner of Silverwood Theme Park (“Silverwood”), have signed an exclusive term sheet for Herschend to acquire Silverwood. Silverwood, a beloved family-owned theme and water park in Athol, ID, has been operated by the Norton family for more than 35 years. This partnership marks a new chapter for Silverwood, as it joins Herschend’s portfolio of family brands, while continuing its tradition of delivering memorable experiences to guests of all ages. Founded in 1988 by Gary Norton and operated by his family for three generations, Silverwood has grown into one of the most successful independently owned parks in the U.S., attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year to its 400-acre site. The park is home to more than 70 rides and attractions, including Boulder Beach Water Park. “Silverwood has been our family’s life’s work for more than three decades,” said Paul Norton, Silverwood’s Chief Operating Officer. “When the time came to pass the torch, Herschend was the only choice. They share our values, our long-term approach, and our belief that parks like this are built by people with heart.” Herschend operates more than 40 family entertainment brands across North America, iconic destinations such as Dollywood Parks & Resorts, Silver Dollar City Parks & Resorts, the Harlem Globetrotters and recently acquired properties such as Kennywood, Adventureland, and Lake Compounce, continuing its mission to bring families closer together by creating memories worth repeating. “This is more than a business transaction—it’s the continuation of a legacy,” said Andrew Wexler, CEO of Herschend. “We are honored that the Norton family has trusted us to carry their vision forward and excited to welcome the Silverwood hosts and guests to Herschend.” The parties have begun the due diligence process and are working toward finalizing the transaction. -

These pics are credited to Jonathan McNair and Jeffrey Siebert. They show Tormenta construction progress from the parking lot and tower. -
According to their calendar, they only celebrate Holidays at Legoland on the every Saturday in December as well as Dec 24-31st. I imagine the park will still be decorated. I would suggest calling them: For questions related to the LEGOLAND Florida Theme Park, Water Park, or SEA LIFE Florida, please call: 877-350-5346 -
Lotte World have added 3 new rides to the park: A children only mini-viking, a mini drop tower (Looks like a frog hopper, but the park already has one of those) and a spinning ride from Sunkid. The park has also added a single-rider line to the park but sadly it's only for the children's coaster and not the big Mack rides. -

We will be near the Tampa area between 12/01 and 12/04. Does anyone know if Legoland will be decorated for Christmas and what we could expect if we'd go to Legoland? It looks like they have special days for Christmas on a few Saturdays, but what is there for Christmas during the week? -

Dang in non-typical Six Flags fashion they aren't messing around! This thing is going up quick! -
I drove by on 360 over the weekend and you can see the track from there as well.

🔥SPICY HOT TAKE INCOMING🔥 Georgia Scorcher needs a floorless conversion, because that layout absolutely RIPS and it would become a headliner if it were just more comfortable.
