  1. I hadn't been following this but getting caught up now and ... wow... I mean, I get more and more how all of these parks even the somewhat established nice ones seem to be run by carnies and corrupt politicians! It's crazy.
  2. Looks great for them! The waterpark was definitely looking a little old school so this is a nice update!
  3. Yeah, I pretty much agree with Bill. It seems like SeaWorld is your best choice.
  4. This will be a great fit for the park...now get Falcon's Fury open again please!
  5. ^Oh! Great question which I can answer! The lockers were great! Better than VelociCoaster in a few ways... - Bigger locker - Bigger locker area (not as cramped) - More lockers (so you're not waiting for a locker instead of waiting for the ride which I've seen a few times on VelociCoaster) They use your magic band/ticket and it was a fast process. If you don't have a band/ticket (phone bluetooth app doesn't work as of now) they give you an RFID card. There's also a little lighted cubby ON the bike itself where I would put my phone and keys. No metal detectors or anything so you can bring stuff with you as long as it's small.
  6. Yeah, it just takes some practice to get on it if you have big legs or a big build. Most people have not ridden a real motorbike coaster like this before. That's the problem. They think they have! They think Hagrid's is a motorbike but it's not at all. This Vekoma version is the real deal and you lay down like on a sport bike. I saw people yesterday refusing to get in the proper riding position and then getting angry that they couldn't fit. If you can't get in the position or you have VERY large legs, just go ride in the back modified seats, no big deal.
  7. Update - We appear to have a 2024 coaster of some sort!
  8. I'm shocked and impressed that it looks like they may get something decent for the amusement park side!
  9. It's a capybara and it's amazing!!! World's largest rodent!! I definitely want to go back to this park. I think a lot of us just weren't in the mood for the cold and rainy weather at the end of the trip. The park was beautiful and had some really interesting ride. I think one full size coaster to replace the boomerang and we'll be back for sure!
  10. We've been trying to figure out was there any notice to this removal and we just missed it or was this kind of out of the blue? Seems like they could have made an easy years worth of rent had they announced this and all the coaster people would have made the trek! I will add to what others have said, it was an amazing and crazy intense ride. I do have to wonder though, can you imagine in this day and age had a roller coaster derailed and killed three people I can't imagine it would be back open six months later!!?? And then stayed open another 30 years after that! Here's our video from our one visit a long time ago featuring the even more insane backwards car as well!
  11. ^Yup, heard the rumors. I think it would be a good thing at this point.
  12. Exciting! Thanks for the update!
  13. Which attractions recently are you not impressed with? Between Tron, Guardians, Runaway Railway, Ratatouille, Rise, Avatar, etc. that's kind of a crazy impressive list!
  14. The trains better look exactly like that or I want my money back!!!
  15. Thank you for the very flattering photo of me shoving ice cream into my mouth with the guys ass hanging out nearby!
  16. ^The Toad Hole!!! So freakin weird!
  17. The ride was unique, but also brutal and bizarre. I can't imagine it wasn't hurting people or requiring way too much maintenance.
  18. ^Ugh, sorry to hear that. We ran into a very similar issue with SFFT! I thought we were already past all the schedule cuts but I guess not.
  19. Seems like a great idea to me! Almost like how Legoland builds the smaller Discovery Centers in some markets. This should print money for them!
  20. ^Forget Desperado, bring back that indoor shooting log flume to its original glory!!!
  21. I've heard it's been pretty busy during the holidays and I'm so happy for them!!! I really want them to do well, succeed, and add more!
  22. Great to see so much progress!
  23. Amazing! Big Lego fan here and their sets are only getting crazier! ^Jim reached out to me and I gave him permission to post this here.
  24. Luc was the owner at the Hotel Ambassador De Panne! Wonderful family and hotel! And the breakfast spread was great too!
  25. I was at Citywalk this morning to meet up with some friends and was pleasantly surprised to see them using a whole other security setup near one of the garages. Made it so there was basically no wait for security on one of the busiest days. Well done!
