Regardless of how true this story is, The Post is such an indefensible waste of trees. " 'You can’t go to Disney without a tour concierge,' she sniffed. 'This is how the 1 percent does Disney.' " Does that really sound like an authentic quote? I call shenanigans. And "she sniffed?" Pathetic.

This is a really fun list, and there are definitely several coasters on here that I must try soon. Balder and T-Express, I'm looking at you. (Also, can't WAIT to get on Tobu's Mega-Lite!)

Well said. Great report and once I get Japan out of the way, Europapark is next on my must-do list. Those hotels look pretty fantastic.

^^I don't see any bird poop on those trains AT ALL!

Holy damn, this looks like a lot of fun! Love the trains, too!

This does look like an extremely fun ride and you gotta give it up for the awesome theming; those trains to kick ass. I can only imagine how much better it will be when all the landscaping has really grown in. And some of the shots are really among your best work, Hanno!

More awesome, fascinating updates! Thanks so much again! The Forbidden City looks spectacular; it's been on my bucket list forever. And after reading through this latest bit, I'm convinced the ONLY way I'll ever visit parks in China is with TPR. (I did have a good laugh reading some of your insights. I only spent a week in China, but I remember the traffic; holy damn, that was terrifying. I learned to just not pay an attention at all and pray for a quick, painless death, if it came to that.) And I did not know there was a Chinese coaster enthusiast group; that rocks!

Wow, these reviews are VERY exciting to hear. Better than Apocalypse? SWEET.

I've never been to this park, but it's good to see so much work being done on general upkeep and that sort of thing. And there are some great shots in here! Nice stuff!

Another very fun, entertaining report! I think my first cruise may have to be a Disney cruise. Don't know if I could handle the parasailing, but it does look awesome. The pirates girls are adorable!

I can't tell you how much I am loving this thread. MOAR! (Onegaishimasu! )

It's a real pleasure to see these reports coming back. Lots of great laughs - that Buzz Lightyear onride photo is epic. Looking forward to more!

Totally fantastic. I'd love a little tribute to the Mighty Microscope with the blinking eye up on there some day.

Not that it really matters, but I'd love to know the context for this little scene. Like, is she supposed to be a nun or something? (Kind of hoping she is.) Anyway, between this dark ride and EGF, I'm way overdue to visit Holiday Park.

And...

Wingwright completely owns this one, but just for kicks:

This park is definitely on my "must do" list and not just because it got trashed in "Godzilla vs. Mothra: The Battle For Earth." Looking forward to the next installments!

It's a bummer about the long waits, and it's REALLY a bummer about the poorly maintained dark ride, but the rockwork looks great, and that is one amazingly solid coaster collection. (I would kill to live near a park that had an amazing woodie, a Mega-Lite and two-drop Dive Machine.) I also love those huge Frisbee-type flats, but seven minutes?! No freaking way I could handle that. Cool report!

That god-blessed shot of EGF's first drop is fantastic. Gotta get to Germany soon.

My thoughts exactly.

A great update and I'm glad to hear that this Togo is enjoyable. I'll need to conquer Blue Fall someday. The shot of the four dolphins underwater is awesome!

All the new Timber Mountain elements look AMAZING. The owl and that dog? Incredible. The Boardwalk expansion will be terrific, but Timber Mtn. will be the star of this year's WCB; can't wait!

It's always good to see a decent collection of haunted attractions, especially one at a Six Flags park; that rocks.

This guy wins. Effing awesome.

AWESOME report! I'd totally forgotten that so many of Universal's best rides were all here. Incredible. ^LOL! I just made a special mental note to pack an extra empty bag dedicated exclusively to Japanese BTTF souvenirs.
