Oh please, we all know it's because the coroner hasn't completed their investigations yet. Keep an eye out for the chalk outlines, Dan! Good luck!

I get it, but I also don't get it. Wasn't the major thrill of Skycoasters being in the flying position and staring straight down during the entire ride? The ascent is the most terrifying part, IMO. This just looks like they threw a Frisbee vehicle on a cable and said "good enough."

I'm late to the party, but all I ever want from Gerstlauer for the rest of my days is Karnan. That ride is perfectly mental. That being said, come onnnnnnnnnnn Karnan US clone!

^ You're aware they probably need to go through a huge hiring/re-hiring process and fully train all of those employees on operations and all of the other madness that requires a theme park to actually run, right? Passholders get two weeks early and they're basically the debugging crowd before the GP storms the park like a bunch of rabid hyenas.

Oh, it totally will be -

Oh man, my last TPR trip to Holiday Park had some of the best ERT I've experienced. I think I got 10-15 laps on GeForce without changing trains. We were all just bouncing between rows while Derek (I think) planted himself in one row and didn't get up for like an hour. Phantasialand is one of my favorite parks on earth and Winjas is an unassuming and wicked coaster. If you manage to get it spinning well it gets even more absurd as the ride goes on.

When the best possible use for an IP is a 4D movie, yeah, the IP blows.

That's some interesting word use for yet another shooting gallery ride. I'm curious if they actually have something worthwhile going on with it. Well is it a Palace or a cart?! Come on, Disney, I would have thought you guys knew the difference what with all the fairy tales.

See, this is why I specifically mentioned new animatronics in my post, ya dingaling.

I'm extremely curious about these Jurassic World upgrades. The initial retrofit was, IMO, terrible and unnecessary. I'm not saying that because I'm a purist, I'm saying that because they "upgraded" a ride that in no way needed upgrading aside from new animatronics. Adding screens in lieu of awe-inspiring, wide-open environments and larger-than-life dinosaurs towering above you was a disgrace. Hopefully this new animatronic won't be a "blink and you'll miss it" cameo and we'll be able to get a bit of an action sequence.

This thing looks like an old school B&M and I hope it rides like one. They've proven they can go back to basics in the past (Dark Knight at SFNE) and it's looking like they're about to pull it off again.

I'm interested to see what changes she has in store.

Me too, because I want Nevadans to be allowed back, dammit! I've gotta ride Rise Of The Resistance before SoCal burns to the ground.

Wait til you see how tall Elitch Gardens' Boomerang is!

I gotta say, I think the absolute lack of discussion about anything Nintendo-world related, rides or otherwise, in the weeks since it has opened says much more than any forum ever could. Overall it seems to be going over like a big, wet fart. Then again, us westerners are much more vocal in our opinions than the local Japanese population, so it could be amazing and we're just not hearing it because of Covid preventing worthwhile travel. Judging by what I've seen, though, I'm leaning hard into the big, wet fart option. Edit - So I've been away from everything for over a month due to

The unemployment line.

This might be the most accurate post in TPR's history. I'm glad they're completely rebuilding from the ground up. They've needed to for years now and they won't get a better opportunity than this to just wipe everything and start fresh. There's no need to integrate or grandfather-in older rules or make exceptions for people. Everyone is back at square one and I'm excited to see the new structure.

The PR announcement idea is pretty stupid, but at the same time I'm kinda half-expecting to hear about the train dangling upside-down in the twist-and-dive in a few months.

The Tropicana entrance to the 15 is never just "a quick hop" unless it's 3am on a weeknight. Stop talking crazy, man.

Wait this thing is still in the cards? I figured it went the way of the Orlando Skyplex.

Indoors with a police chase theme? I get the feeling this will be a trackless ride similar to RotR or Runaway Railway, which is awesome!

I was thinking back to my Halloween-less Halloween this year and how much it sucked, but it reminded me of the brilliance of The Hanging at Knott's and Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Spectacular when Universal still gave a shit. Unfortunately Bill & Ted are, AFAIK, dead and gone in the parks and The Hanging has fallen off a cliff, quality-wise, for 2018 and 2019. Damn shame.
