Eisner quickly signed a few more papers before he left...hence the flood of new rides (and parks !)

More track... More boats attached to houses...

(clickable) Well suck me sideways, all of that has been built in a month. Already about 100ft. up...which gives us an idea of the impact this building will have on the skyline: (clickable too) "Zuh Tower of Terror" is scheduled to open on Halloweennight 2007, but looking at the speed this ride is being constructed at, it might open quite a bit sooner. We'll see...stay tuned ! www.dlrp.fr

Pure construction/technical wise: B&M. Always a smooth ride, no matter what seat, conditions, age of the ride. The design is too much influenced by others. If a B&M or Intamin is really great, it's usually the work of the Stengelbureau.

Patriot: steel Black Mamba: trenches, tunnels, enclosed lift hill, underground stations, plants, rocks, trees, animatronics, statues, bridges, huts, a restaurant Patriot is just a coaster, Black Mamba is so much more. I mean, just look at it ! :shock:

Exactly. A great layout, and great to watch... Try riding them at the beginning of the season, in the morning, if possible after a bit of rain. 90% chance of a smooth(er) ride.

So the record breaking thingy is now scheduled for 2010 ? First 2000, then 2003, then 2006, 2007, now 2010 ???? I hope I live to ride it.

I made a smooth Vekoma. 8) Just kidding, we all know that's NOT possible.

There's more wood in one of these woodies than in most others. A steel support beam for example is rare.

A clone of the one at Skyline Park. Same height, length, layout. Must be a clone. Ride experience is fun...but way too short. And it's not the best looking ride around either. Oh, and the capacity is awful. One short train of 12 people... Maybe they will charge extra for this ride. It's not too bad in the small, never-crowded Skyline Park, but I'm sure Magic Springs can be crowded during the summer months.

That actually existed. It was a waterpark in Florida, opened in 1984...sold by Six Flags in 1989 and destroyed in 1992 by hurricane Andrew. More info: http://www.afn.org/~afn04050/level/atlantis/atlantis.html

Another Humdinger vote. 8)

Bruges, Belgium Nearest parks are Boudewijn SeaPark (a few blocks away) and Bellewaerde Park (about 30 mins).

There's more on this planet than the United States. Much more !

Cool, a ride based on the remake of a movie based on a book.

Most big cities and important locations are in it. For example, Japan: Nagashima Spaland Tokyo Disney Resort

Why not post links to Google Maps, instead of compressed jpeg screen grabs: Disneyland Resort Paris Legoland Billund Parque de Attraciones Port Aventura Six Flags Magic Mountain Six Flags Marine World Six Flags New England Universal Studios Orlando Resort WDW - Epcot WDW - Magic Kingdom Warner Bros. Madrid Microsoft launched a similar service a few days ago at http://virtualearth.msn.com. Some locations have a much a higher resolution than Google, but downside is that less important areas are black & white and it's only USA so far... Disneyland (1600x1200 Disneyland !)

Right ! :shock:

Lindsay already looks way better lately. That adopted Lionel Richie girl, what's her name again ?, on the other hand looks bad... :?

They should take that ugly "block" off the top. The rest looks good... 8)

Because of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany next year, Europa-Park decided to build a soccer-themed ride...dodgems ! Riding in cars shaped like shoes, on a soccer field, you can try to score goals with a huge ball. Gotta love Europa-Park ! 8)

Finally a slightly unique Boomerang...and still they aren't happy. The Pinfari inverted is great. A bit short...but what's there is very smooth and alot of fun. First element is a roll over like the first Vekoma SLC element, but the second half loop is like banked. Very weird. Oh, and véry comfortable seats.

That's probably Luigi from that Gotti show.
