Garet, I'll add any (Non-kiddie) ride that exists to the index. A few years ago, when I had more free time, I went through every major park's website (or map if I had one) and cross checked all the existing rides with the one listed in TPR's Park Index. Since that time I have tried to keep take of any new rides as they are announced (In my "What's New for 20__?" threads). However, not all park's make formal announcements and many of the foreign park non-coaster announcements (especially in Asia) are never reported to TPR. So it is only natural that some rides are missing because I don't know about them. I'm sure the Park Index also has a lot of rides listed as open that have been removed.

Keep up the good work, I've gotten photos of almost all the new 2015 rides in the US Please submit only your own photos. Do not take them from another person or website. If you make a submission through the Park Index. You can post your photos of any size in this thread Or you can use the submission tool in the Park Index, but in that case please resize your photos to 800x600 or smaller before submitting, otherwise they are difficult for me to review and place in the Park Index. Or if you have any of those photos already in a PTR just send me a PM and let me know. For this first listing of rides we need any pictures you have of the ride (and signs if the ride is new): USA/Canada/Mexico Adventure Park USA - Wild West Express Bay Beach Amusement Park - Bay Beast, Rockin Tug, Falling Star Bosque Magico - Zombie Calaway Park - new log flume Coney Island (Ohio) - Top Spin Family Kingdom - Twist and Shout (from Magic Springs) , Flight School, Kite Flyer, Frog Hopper, Magic Bikes, Jump Around Dunebuggies Fun Spot America - Screamin Swing Idlewild - Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood Legoland California - Pirate's Reef Martin's Fantasy Island - Over the Falls Miracle Strip Pier Park -Starliner Morey's Piers - new Wave Swinger Scandia Sacramento - Wild Mouse (formerly at Casino Pier) Silverwood - Krazy Koaster ZDT Amusement Park -Switchback UK/Ireland Blackpool Pleasure Beach - Red Arrows Sky Force Botton’s Pleasure Beach – Cup and Saucer, Gallopers, Rockin Tug Codona's - Vertigo (Ropes Course) Drayton Manor - Zamperla Air Race Flamingoland – Dodgems, StarFlyer, Volare Flyer, Twisting Junior Coaster Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach - spinning coaster Gulliver’s Warrington – Barrel Ride, Joker, Sky Tours Observation Tower, Tree Tops Swing Pleasure Island – GoGator, Falls of Fear, Galleon Thorpe Park - New bumper cars, re-theme of Detonator Germany Freizeitpark Plohn - Miniwah Holiday Park - a Gerstlauer Sky Fly Legoland Deutschland - Gerstlauer Sky Fly Movie Park Germany - The Lost Temple Wunderland Kalkar - Kernie's Boot (Rockin Tug), Tea Cups Denmark Farup Sommerland – Raeven Hule (walk-thru) Sommerland Syd - Himilaya (Galaxi) France Mer de Sable – Wild Mouse "La Mine Bleue" (formerly at Compagnie des Alpes), Riviere Sauvage, Train du Desert, Jungle des Chikapas (Indoor Tow Boat), Babagattaux (Outdoor Tow Boat) Parc St. Paul - Vekoma Junior Coaster WalyGator Parc - Zamperla Air Race, rethemed raft ride Italy Cavalinno Matto - Togo stand-up Etnaland - Dragon River, El Dorado, Hip Hop Coaster, Storm Minitalia Leolandia - Zamperla Splash Battle, Zamperla Coaster Movieland Studios - Diabolik Invertigo Rainbow Magicland - Battaglia Navale Netherlands/Belgium Bobbejaanland - Forbidden Caves Plopsa de Panne - Viktor's Race Finland/Sweden/Norway Grona Lund – Eclipse, Kuling (Rockin Tug), House of Nightmares Linnanmaki - New Kummitusjuna (Ghost Train), Kinji Särkänniemi - High Voltage (Zamperla Power Surge) Skara Sommerland - Spinning Coaster, Rodeo and Jr. Drop Tower Spain Parque d'Attractiones Madrid - Los Rapidos PortAventura - Angkor Other Europe Energylandia - 3 new coasters, including a Mack Blue Fire type project, Vekoma SLC, Vekoma suspended family coaster Wiener Prater - Gerstlauer indoor coaster with an elevator lift and dark ride elements China China Dinosaur Park - King Kong, Super Swing (Wave Swinger), Coaster Brontosaurus (Disko) Chuanlord Manor - Magic Ring Roller Coaster (knock-off Sky Loop) Japan Yomuiriland - Twist Coaster Robin Pleasure Garden – Mad Mouse, Through the Woods Jet Coaster Suntopia – Loop the Loop Australia Dreamworld - Zamperla Air Race Sea World Australia - Creatures of the Deep attraction other Asia South America Beto Carrero World - relocated Batman and Robin: The Chiller from SFGAdv Hopi Hari - Intamin multi looping coaster ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the following rides we only need pictures of the ride sign: USA/Canada Bowcraft – Crossbow Knoebels - Power Surge Kentucky Kingdom - Raging Rivers Lagoon - Bombora Lake Winnie - Sea Warrior Marineland - Skyhawk Michigan's Adventures - Lakeside Gliders Silverwood - Spin Cycle UK Flamingoland – Navigator, Sky Flyer Pleasure Island (UK) - GoGator Other Europe Djurs Sommerland - Drageskibet Farup Sommerland - Wave Swinger Freizeitpark Plohn - Plohseidon Liseberg - Liseberghjulet (Giant Wheel) Movie Park Germany - NYC Transformer Nigloland - Gerstlauer Sky Fly Parque d'Attractiones Madrid - Noriavision (Giant Wheel), Ford T Power Park – Pegasus (Evolution) Sommerland Syd - Kaemperutshebanen, Tornado, King Kong Karrusel (Calypso), Svingeren (Wave Swinger) Tivoli Friheden – Forhindringsbane (Obstacle Course) Walibi Rhone Alps - Boomerang, Coccinelle WalyGator - Waly Coaster Other Asia/Australia Adventure World (AUS) - Dragon Express Nagashima Spaland - Acrobat Pleasure Garden – Mad Mouse, Through the Woods Jet Coaster Remember photos must be .jpg should not exceed 800x600 (Unfortunately, in the past many people have submitted photos that were far too large for TPR to use or in pdf form.) If you have photos of a non-kiddie ride that is not in TPR's Park Index, please submit that also. The list of what we need is not complete, only based on rides that appear on my personal park maps. High quality photos, please (not blurry, distorted or out of focus).

I will immediately become the best coaster on the Jersey Shore. Looks fun, I hope that it will be comparable to Sky Rocket since I love Sky Rocket.

I looked and the literal only new thing i saw was a 10ft ladder leaning against the grandstand. The ladder was lying on the ground against the Grandstand today. It appeared to be a 12 foot ladder from the Skyride, but it is hard to tell from that far away. Look between the trees to find the orange ladder at the base of the grandstand

I realize you took some grief form others about some of your posts but I did laugh at this typo. I could understand how going through a slash area on a water slide would cause pain.

I'm not one to buy collectibles but picked up this Disneyland tin plate at a second hand store for $10 this morning.

Fooled me also

or marathon the bumper cars and flyers

No problem with this approach especially if you want to explore the park at a leisurely pace your first time. The tickets are actually a good deal if you don't plan to marathon ride.

The forecast is clear and hot (high of 90) and there is a Slurpee ERT and also a job fair. Weekend days typically tend to be more crowded (lately seems like Sundays have been worse than Saturdays for some reason), but if you are proactive, get to the park before opening and head right to El Toro, enjoy some morning re-rides since it tends to not get a line for the first hour or so, then if it starts to feel crowded, head over to FP HQs and have yourself a six flags day! IMHO - perfect advice

Wildcat at Jolly Roger

WindstarZ will open to the public on Thursday July, 30th.

So true, one intense flat ride

That's a question I have always pondered. I wonder what the reason is for this phenomena?

True, Go Karts are best left to the independent parks

Other must do ride: Skooters (Bumper Cars), Downdraft, Stratofear, Flyers, Looper, Cosmotron, Carousel you have probably not experienced any of these rides before and if you have not in the form they run them at Knoebels. You will get tons of opinions on the food not to miss, for me the one item I never skip is the Fried Cheese on a Stick at Totem Treats. Backpack friendly, paid storage facilities are not available.

How would they be able to even get that information? License plates? Im assuming debit/credit card transitions But that wouldnt count the large % that pay cash. It's called an estimate. Unless there is reason to believe someone from Michigan is significantly more likely (or less likely) to use cash.

Thanks Martin, I'm just getting around to putting your PTRs and pictures into the Park Index.

LOL that wikipedia page wasn't me.. I just noticed it... Yes, the same moron. At least he is not refuting spreading all the bullcrap rumors!

I remember when enthusiasts used to get excited about Gravity Group coasters.

Maybe Orange County Choppers is creating a custom bike for the park, since that is what the company does.

I hope it is not an issue I'd love to see it succeed, but all day music festivals are more of an event.

BDG - A broke this into a new thread because I didn't want it to be hidden in another thread. Thanks for bringing this to TPR's attention.

This is not the case at all Six Flags parks, some of them have quite extensive flat ride packages.
