Sorry I quoted the wrong of you, oh well. -

Silverwood have a really bad-ass RMC waiting to be built when they have the funds, so I don't think they will get another coaster before they can build that one. -

Silver star! But seriously, no. I'm even doubting that the speed hill on Shambhala provides airtime. IMO Leviathan looks to be what a B&M hyper should be like, a ride that focus on other things than airtime. (but if B&M want's to build a hyper with actual airtime by all means go ahead, until then though build speed inspired rides with over banks. -

I actually saw the ride logo earlier today, I don't know why but I just assumed it was something a fan made. Now when I hear how it was leaked it's probably the real thing. -

If you want to get real picky then the rail ties on Leviathan actually goes in and then out again under the rails, I'm not sure they would do such a detail in the video. But I do have a feeling that screen shot it is the real thing. -

The custom support will most likely be changed for a regular one, B&M usually change the supports up a bit between clones due to the different conditions at the installation. Ex Scream and Medusa. -
Photo TR: Liseberg + Djurs Sommerland
_koppen replied to Anac0nda's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Awesome! Glad you had a nice trip! lol, what? When did you ride it? Did you only get one ride? Piraten is very much like Expedition Geforce, it needs warming up. It's a completely different monster in the afternoon/evening. As I always said since riding it, best overall coaster in Northern Europe! -

Hotgo Park in Fushun China

Awesome! I love the Timberliner's and it's really cool to see them on a big ride that is not brutal from years of wear and tear. -

Six Flags Announces a Park in Dubai
_koppen replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Dubai dosen't really make any money from oil, they started converting to tourism in the early 90s to be more independent from the oil revenue, and the country now makes most of it's money from tourist. If I remember right the oil & gas is only about 2% of the country's revenue. The huge harbor is also a big trading port an brings in lot's of dough. The big dependance on tourism and international business is a big reason to why they took such a huge hit when the financial crises came. -

This actually seemed like a nice topic that I would like to discuss until I read this scentance. -
Romon World to open in China

Finally! Been waiting for ages for this train to come to life! Can't wait to see how this bad boy will ride, it seems ideal for smaller parks. -
S&S Sansei Discussion Thread
_koppen replied to Coaster Joe's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I remember a few years ago that the CEO of S&S said in an interview that Six Flags loved the 4D technology, only they thought they were to expensive at the moment. I bet my ass that it will open in a Six Flags park!
