^^ I'm not a 100%, but I think the park can't use that land. -

Damn that looks like a fast ride! Also I didn't noticed before, but it looks like this ride only contains three inversions. -

It's not really risky, these kind of deals cost the park lot's of $$$! -
PortAventura Discussion Thread

^ Yes, and it looks pretty awesome! Port Aventura will now have the three fastest and the two tallest rides in Europe, if Ring Racer remains closed. Oh buzz off! -
KolmĂ¥rden Discussion Thread

The Wildfire case won't be treated until late spring/early summer, maybe even later, so until then there isn't really anything more we can do than to wait Also, as I said earlier, the Land and Environment Court isn't really any easy people to please. Just the fact that KolmĂ¥rden thinks they have a case strong enough to go through it says a lot! -
So this is probably not that interesting for most people, but getting another Proslide in Sweden is so awesome that I have to share it! So far Skara Sommarland have been the only Proslide park in Sweden, and they are still the only real high quality water park we have in Sweden. Hopefully this is all about to change now! Tosselilla is a really small place down south in Sweden with around 100 000 visitors a year. It's mostly (almost entirely) aimed at the smaller children. This will however be a big quite thrilling addition, which is very needed for the little older kids. Hopefully we can expect more from Proslide in the coming years. This is the old "homemade" mat racer. It was very old and worn down. Even though it's old and not so good it's quite big. But as you can see the safety of the ride was really lacking, which is probably why it's bering replaced. Been following it on their Facebook, and they were really quick with the removal of the old slide. This looks weird! New slides always requires some digging and some pipe-laying. Preparing for the run-out foundation. Time for some pouring! Done! The first parts arrived a few weeks ago from Canada. Nice colors! New foundations were made for the supports. Pump house. Assembling on the way. Looks good! Proslide's engineers have been really clever with this one, as they are re-using the supports from the old slide. Re-using them is a great idea, as it saves more money than you'd think. It's probably one of the reasons Tosselilla can make this investment! It's 18m/59f tall, which makes it one of the tallest mat racers in the world! The last hill is quite tall and steep! It looks totally awesome! Looking good! Never been to Tosselilla, but I will go for sure to try this one out. Can't wait to have this view later in the summer! It's very big and very pretty! So that's it! I will update more as the ride gets finished. Source

So it will be kinda like Skyrush with a big-a$$ loop? That sounds like a pretty awesome ride! -

Two dead in another accident in china

Sometimes (quite often actually) it really feels like they have different safety offices for the imported and the domestically produced rides.. The S&S launch coasters comes to mind! -
