Schwarzkopf's Thriller up for sale
BDG replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, it wasn't modified until it moved to Marine World. So anything you find of Thriller or Texas Tornado is of the original ride. Before modifications: (1986) opening year late 80s early 90s late 90s (1998-2002) at Six Flags Astroworld After modifications: (the bottom of the first drop is higher off the ground, and as a result, the loops are also higher placed) (2003-2004) at Six Flags Marine World (2008-present) at Isla San Marcos And some video of the ride in its natural habitat... ^ nighttime footage from 2:35 onwards ^ POV on-board from 9:25 -

Energylandia Park Discussion Thread
BDG replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That information is outdated. Originally, the park was going to build 3 Mack-coasters in 2015. A Youngstar family coaster, a spinning coaster and a Bluefire clone. But they went with Vekoma instead. -
