The world's fastest coaster at the other Ferrari park would like to have a word with you... -
Dollywood Discussion Thread

There is one two pages back, albeit from afar. And that wall design two posts up looks awesome! -
Gröna Lund Discussion Thread
Myself replied to Tobias94's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It kinda seems like a lot of the area will need to be demolished and rebuilt or significantly altered. Simply because there seems to be a lot of supports going through roofs and such. I Can't wait for them to release more detailed info and art!!! I can't speak for how much landscape/trees will need to go, but it's looking to me that only two buildings will get demolished...the row of games/refreshments opposite Insane's lift, and the bumper car building. The plans do seem to indicate several new buildings in the area where the old games are (not to mention the station which appears to be underground) and an opened-up waterfront area where the bumper cars currently are, perhaps even with an extended boardwalk from the Twister/Wave Swinger area. I'm pretty excited to see how this pans out! -
Adventuredome Discussion Thread

Per Chance Rides' Facebook page... Think this is the coaster we've been speculating over? -
Gröna Lund Discussion Thread

As of today, the Ikaros webcam has switched from the overhead view looking down at the platform to a new view from the ground. Looks to me like we'll be seeing some vertical construction soon! -
Adventuredome Discussion Thread

I see this coaster and think of the ride Chance built for Wildlife World Zoo in Arizona last year: Screamscape has shared pics of work going on inside the dome, where RIm Runner's reservoir used to be...I think we may be seeing what will fill that space. -
Knoebels Discussion Thread
Myself replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
There unfortunately was no response to the Sky Wheel...they were never able to open it. Having said that, this video from Skyline Attractions shows a Lego model of a Crazy Couch that Rick Knoebel built for IAAPA...maybe this might be it? [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew] -
Fun Spot America Discussion Thread
Myself replied to jedimaster1227's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Okay...I've tried to find something to answer this, so forgive me if there is one out there...what happens to the Screamin' Swing as a result of this ride? Does it find a new home elsewhere in the park? Does it get removed entirely? -
Dutch Wonderland 2017
Myself replied to eddie200330's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's also worth noting that it's one of the few skyrides of that type that has a station at both ends rather than being a one way trip. Don't miss the Dutch Wonder House either! -
Kolmården Discussion Thread
Myself replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Didn't Grona Lund have a similar issue come up when they built Eclipse? They were able to resolve that easily enough, and given it's the same parent company, I wouldn't sweat this too much. -
Dollywood Discussion Thread
Myself replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
But will it be the standard model? RCDB lists at least one coaster with that ride system that has a custom layout. -
Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread
Myself replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Does SDC have its own equivalent of the Skyzip course at Dollywood? I could see the Waterboggan tower being used for something like that somewhere down the road. -

^True dat, but they're all better than the one Hershey has. -
Hersheypark (HP) Discussion Thread
Myself replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Fixed that for you. I've been on five other Whips (Kennywood, Idlewild, Knoebels, Dorney, Camden), all of the classic Mangels variety, and Hershey's is simply...meh? -

Maybe it'll be named Big Dipper once it's finished. -
[POLL] RMC Mean Streak 2017 or 2018?

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Myself replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Even with IBox track Mean Streak could claim some records. If we assume that the lift is being made taller (as a wood coaster it was 161' tall), it would only need to be ~20 feet taller to claim the "tallest hybrid" record (assuming we use that designation for IBox track) from Iron Rattler's 179 feet. -
Gröna Lund Discussion Thread
Myself replied to Tobias94's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Per Gröna Lund's Facebook page, work has begun on Ikaros: There's also a webcam on the park's site for anyone who wants to follow along with the construction. I do notice the lenticular is gone. -
Kentucky Kingdom (SFKK, KK) Discussion Thread
Myself replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^Thing is, I remember hearing about a year ago that they were looking into getting one at some point... -
I'd say the closest thing that's happened to the Steel Phantom/Phantom's Revenge revision since then is Buzzsaw Falls/Powder Keg at Silver Dollar City. Despite retaining a few parts of the original, the end result is a completely new ride. Arguably, aside from the rumored changes to Dodonpa, I would say that the other changes cited in the original post, while welcomed, certainly aren't as major as far as altering the ride experience.
