Funniest Ride and Coaster Names
BDG replied to Movieguy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Vicky The Ride is named after Vicky The Viking, a character who first appeared in German-Japanese cartoons in the 70s and has been property of Studio 100 for quite some time now. They recently made a couple pretty successful live-action movies with him. Now some will notice the above images say "Wickie" instead of "Vicky". The original name is Wickie, but PlopsaCoo is located in a French-speaking region, where the character is known as Vicky. -

No, they're the exact same element construction-wise, you simply traverse them in a different direction. -

There's actually very little forces on the structure during such a roll. -

Walygator Parc Discussion Thread
BDG replied to thomas2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Lots of rumors in France that the park is bankrupt. As a result, the park is virtually empty these days. There's now a message on the Walygator website reassuring visitors that the park is open and will remain open until the end of the season. (also, can a mod rename this thread "Walygator Discussion Thread" ?) -

You forget one little detail: there never was anything wrong with the track. It was closed because of problems with the support structure. RMC wouldn't be able to use much of the existing ride. -

Anyone want a log flume boat? http://www.heide-park.de/heide-park/fun/wildwasserboot Basically, you need to send an e-mail to the park, telling them what you'll do with it. Don't forget your name, age, and address. The 3 best ideas will win 1 boat each. -

The queue line splits and you go left for the back half of the train, right for the front half.
