  1. This looks like a brilliant addition, and I really hope that the theming turns out the way it is shown in the concept art! I would actually argue that this is precisely what Tusenfryd needs. The park gets crowded with mostly teenagers, they need more families visiting as they are the heavy spenders. Besides, after rain comes sunshine. The more family rides they build the closer comes the next thrill ride.
  2. A RMC conversion seems like a no-brainer here. Can't imagine them coughing up the dough for anything else.
  3. That's a really great video!
  4. That Air Race ride looks rather unique! Great photo of the coaster too.
  5. I don't know when you checked google maps last time, but check again, it's updated now. I think Leviatahan probably does to the entrance what Dominator does as it is right now. They both kind of already fulfill a smilar purpose to that of Gatekeeper.
  6. Do we have any predictions on the size of this beast? Are we talking mega coaster or maybe giga coaster?
  7. Skara just posted a great photo on their Facebook!
  8. The soft-opening have gone well and they are now opening attractions as they are finished. The whole park will be ready in 2016. Lazy river is now open Looks like it has some great effects! Entrance Looks like some kind of spa/activity pool Looping Rocket going up These will all be great when they are done! Interlocking loops The colors are nice That's it for this time! Hopefully we will see the big family slides go up next Source
  9. I think is also has to do with the market. The US market for coasters isn't as big as it used to be. Parks are buying lot's of different rides these days. Also neither Six Flags or Cedar Fair is interested in the Intamin offerings right now. Six Flags are quite happy with their lower-cost investments at the moment, and CF is on a roll with B&M. Without them two chains the other parks aren't really buying that many coasters, and none of the Intamin offering seems to be "the thing today" like a RMC or a wing rider. Ay reason why it need to be a B&M for it to be scaled back on intensity and re-ridable?
  10. Rumors say we can expect an announcement in the near future
  11. For this halloween Djurs is opening a haunted house! They already opened their witch-school a few seasons ago for their haloween event, but this time it looks like it's aimed at a little bit older kids!
  12. I have read that this YOLO-style coaster is actually made by Intamin and not Premier. Can anyone confirm this?
  13. That's the thing with B&M animated POVs. They always look better than the final product. Sure there are exemptions, but rarely. Sorry, only 40 laps won't qualify you as a nerd. You better hurry to SFGA and ride some more laps
  14. The latter is definitely better in this context!
  15. Unfortunately Skara had a bad year this year. Visitors reached 230 000 which is down 22 % from the past two seasons. Main reasons for this are that weather have been hell in Sweden this summer, pretty much no real sunny days. There was also no new attractions this year to advertise, although the effect of this is probably nothing compared to the weather. It have been said that this bad year can be handled and it won't affect the investment for next season (it's Parks and Resorts after all!). On a much more positive note Furuvik, another park in the chain a little bit north of Stockholm, have broken a 30 year old attendance record with 263 431 visitors this season. A very strong concert program is given the praise for achieving this. Hopefully this will continue the coming years.
  16. Agreed, the colors for this one is gorgeous!
  17. This! The park seems to bring in the crowds as it is, and it also look like they don't have a problem with capacity.
  18. Good catch, I didn't even think of that angle change!
