B&M Dive machine drops are also quite fabulous. -

Rumors says 2015 will bring one. Hopefully it will be a Mack or Vekoma. Rumor also says B&M could build it, but I hope it will be one of the first two mentioned, as I think that will be a lot more interesting. -

Those were new for the beginning of last season. They also changed all the signals and programming of the ride, to guarantee the ride another 20 years of operation. It's a huge improvement, but they also had a lot of problems with the ride during the first month of operation, with more downtime than open time. I also hope this happens to Lisebergbanan, along with a re-paint, just like Port Aventura did with Dragon Khan when Shambhala came. -
That one is awesome!

Yay for launch track! -
Polin and Whitewater have recently open a new water park in China, Tianjin. I stumbled upon this by a coincidence thanks to InPark Magazine sharing this picture on Polin's Facebook It looks so cool so I just had to find out where it was. After doing some research I found out that it is in the newly buily Happy Magic Water Cube in Tianjin. Thanks to google translate I have found these pictures, of what looks to ba a really cool water park, that I wanted to share with you. Entrance Back of the surf pool Good looking Whitewater West Whizzard Speed slides from Whitewater Polin King Cobra Cobra again Theming More theme Awesome looking Polin complex Here's the Polin complex again I wish more water parks would make the walls of their wave pool look nicer thanks to some theming The pool is HUGE These kind of slides always feel steeper than they actually are Whitewater has also installed two Aqua Loops Here's the back of the Cobra, and a Polin low to the ground water coaster Some kind of facility River and cave A big bowl high up in the air This is actually a realistic octopus racer, since it has 8 lanes The King Cobra again Fake beach Palm Tree Construction going on These chambers sure are big, considering they are only for 2-person rafts, and not family rafts I love the colors Some guy who have a fun job Going up Awesome looking Shade More snake slide Quality A mat racer Line The iconic cube that all Happy Magic parks have Fountain Testing before opening Confetti Happy guests I really LOVE the look of this So photogenic Extreme river Lots of people Having fun Coming down the racer They have a regular pool also People More people Waiting for the next wave There sure is a lot of people out there Polin makes that best looking kids area of any slide company Popular slides Kids pool Crowded river Crowded pool and awesome looking slides in the background Look at all those people in the pool River, and some nice and shiny Polin slides It looks so strange without the people And one last look at this good looking complex I really like the look of this park, and would love to visit it. When I go to China I think I will have a big problem having time for all the Theme Parks, because in recent years it have just popped up so many cool water parks that I need to check out first. I also wanna give this park for a huge amount of credit for actually buying slides from the real manufactures, and not from one of the hundreds of knock of companies. Source Source

That was the project cost for the coaster, which included tearing down the previous rides who stood there (which is expensive!). The new entrance was another 5 millions on the tab, for a total cost of 30 millions. There's really no official price tag of Gatekeeper itself. -

Even if they sell out of the "Ultimate Fastpass" and the smaller fast pass packages you still have all the singles ones available during the day. If they are sold out for 2 o'clock, then you can still by for 2,30 and later. Usually you have an employee at the entrance of the coasters who sells a single fast pass for that particular ride for around 3-4 pounds. -

Yeah, that looks kind of splash battle like, but if that's the case it sure would be the worlds longest one. Can't wait for 2015 and the new coaster! I sure hope this one will be an Intamin similar to DiVertical.
