Sweet jesus the airtime in the back row has to be butthole-puckering.

Hi guys - Apparently Futuroscope in France is building a new coaster that will open this March. It looks to be a combination of a dark ride followed by a launched coaster section. The unique thing, though? This thing has programmable rotating cars, beating Guardians at Epcot to the punch. What shocks me is practically nobody is mentioning the rotating cars while everyone is mentioning the "indoor fire" which is fog with lighting effects. Big whoop. You can see the rotation around the 53 second mark. Photos on RCDB confirm that the real-life cars will rotate, as well - https://rcdb.com/15444.htm#p=107289

My thoughts exactly. They're too similar.

This takes the cake for the Icarus Award. The ambition was there, but they are probably going to get burnt.

Being born and raised in Jersey and living in one of the largest Jersey-Italian areas, part of me wants to record myself saying this. The other part doesn't wanna get banned for the language I would subconciously add. You're missing at least three Fs, a CSin MFer, and a You MFer You.

Are we really debating the ethical nature of American law enforcement on a forum about saying "wahoo" on rollercoasters?

^ Sounds like my ex.

To the guys looking for cash, this is a documentary. Documentaries don't have pay scale like SAG-AFTRA, and for good reason. The people you see being interviewed in documentaries are (most of the time) doing it for free or for a very small payout. Once you're being paid then you can be manipulated to say what the producers want you to say because you're their employee at that point. This completely negates the entire purpose of a documentary, which is to document the facts of a particular topic. That being said...

^ Remember it's not just tiny stuff, but huge stuff, too. Imagine the turkey legs...

Remember, people, that Walgreens will happily pay $1 million per month in rent to save $1K in subsidy pay. I'm not surprised at all that Zamperla would rather have a mega-pharmacy on their property than an independent. Crappy? For sure. Unreasonable? Definitely. Will all local businesses disappear in favor of profit margins? Of course! Welcome to NYC!

Don't act like the Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride isn't worth it! If I'm extremely drunk it's definitely good for an obnoxious silly time. Otherwise it's mostly good for naps, haha. Also, seriously what is their monthly payment for that real estate? $20? Every time I've passed by there is zero business.

^ What she said, plus I'm fairly certain we can all agree that Universal is going to go balls-out with the AR crap where it'll essentially be sitting in a box watching a video screen in the end. Even though it's an actual ride (for once, Uni) it won't feel like it.

^ Movieland Studios is a park that shouldn't exist, yet it does thanks to the wonders of Italian regulations, or lack thereof. Add it to your shortlist of parks to visit, throw in Gardaland while you're in the neighborhood, have a hell of a fun trip.

First leaks for Mario Kart. I was getting all excited until...

It's gonna end up being a Vekoma SLC and Huss Topple Tower instead of GeForce and Disk-O. Or the triumphant return of Aquatrax.

According to the rumor mill, Movieland Studios might be building their own version of Disney's Mission: Space. If this is true, I feel like a trip to Italy is in order. I can't imagine how bonkers this thing will be if it's being made by the same people that gave us Magma 2.

^ I'm sure the Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride is a walk-on. Head over that way and play some mini-golf while you're at it.

Well, yeah, they're fun and all, but not when they're a 5 minute walk apart! Please oh please be an Ant-Man "Micro"brewery.

Am I alone is seeing the Spidey ride as a re-themed Toy Story? I've felt that way since the original announcement and nothing's been released to change that opinion. To clarify, I'm not saying Toy Story is being rethemed to Spidey, but that the Spidey ride is another shooting gallery.

Oh it's gonna be a merry Christmas, indeed!!! Thanks!

Well, if you can stomach it, here's the full special - And if you can't stomach it, this video bottles it down to 13 minutes of the most notorious parts - I've watched it twice at this point in my life. Once when I was much younger, and once a year ago under the influence of significant amounts of alcohol. I regret nothing.

^ Liquid ice cream? So just melted ice cream? I need to know if I can be making rocky road butterbeer booze here, man!

I'm getting flashbacks to my contract aboard the Carnival Pride when the backstage flooded due to rough seas. Ended up staying awake through the night baling water out of the dressing rooms, lifts, and band pit. That was by far my best contract with Carnival, though, so imagine how horrific my other three must have been.
