Take a ride on the legendary Loch Ness Monster roller coaster!

The "Bumpy Bumpy Bobkart" Roller Coaster! Could this be the BEST video we've ever made?

Great news!

Universal has sent us a photo of the new Velocicoaster train with the tagline of "Most Extreme Coaster Ride Vehicle!" Thoughts on this?

I get what you are saying using a "roller coaster enthusiast" brain. But with all the history that Mexico City has from the past 700 years, please tell me that the a wooden roller coaster built only in 1964 does not ever appear in the "top 20 landmarks of Mexico City." That would be such a shame.

Montaña Rusa was a terrible roller coaster. It was rough, uninteresting, and for the amount of space it took up, did nothing really exciting at all. I get that it has some "historical value" but I am also of the mindset that not everything that is "historical" equals amazing. I personally will not miss the ride at all. That being said, here's a clip from the ride that we never released from our 2015 trip. Both sides of the coaster....

Yeah, sorry... this was by design. We found that more people needed to get back to the forum home than the front page home, so that's why the top logo links back top the forum home. As mentioned above, there is now the link to the TPR Home Page that should appear on ever page of the forum. Also, if you're in the forum home, at least on the desktop version, we have put the most recent Twitter feed as there as well. Scroll down a bit on this page: https://themeparkreview.com/forum/

Follow our Instagram. I've now posted IG Highlights from our resort stays in July, August, September, and October.

And yet, all over the country.... the WORLD even... I keep seeing stories like this one pop up saying that not a single COVID case has been linked to going to at theme park. It just makes zero sense... https://www.ocregister.com/2020/09/14/largest-u-s-theme-parks-report-no-covid-19-outbreaks-since-reopening/

I also just want to put it out there that, at the moment, California's death rate due to COVID is .043% of the population. That's right, the state is making absolutely ridiculous decisions based on point ZERO four three percent. At this point, you still have a much much HIGHER chance of getting into TWO car accidents on the way to Disneyland than you do dying from COVID because you went to Disneyland. It makes no sense at all. And just to be clear, I am **NOT** one of those batshit crazy "Anti-Mask" "Plandemic" people. But I 100% appreciate the businesses that have opened, and

Yes, we have. To be honest, though, we weren't impressed with Energylandia...

It's also making more sense to me why Hulk got re-built and Dragons got the axe. I mean, if Universal was able to get a good deal on buying two of the same coasters at the same time for Dragons I'm sure we would have seen a very different fate for that ride... *sigh*

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do.... those three photos above were: 1. Normal camera phone held correctly. 2. Normal camera phone held upside down 3. Selfie camera. I'm using an iPhone 11 Pro. I can't seem to reproduce the photo orientation incorrectly problem. I wish I could do more about this, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

Let me try something...
