Young Star Coaster--Chimelong Paradise

Great Yarmouth, England

^Tempesto says, "We already have a ride with a great mustache."

^All will bow to Ambassador Phantom of Krankor! Now there's a character worthy of his own ride.

^Like this guy? Well, it was the best of the three choices.

It's great to see all this new nighttime activity at Animal Kingdom. I think this park is beautiful (and a bit underrated) and would love to visit it after dark (particularly for the Safari).

I was so disappointed that there were no photos of Julianne Moore in Boogie Nights hanging in the restaurant.

Same here. I don't put a lot of stock in these initial animated renderings, but if this coaster is as good as White Lightning in Orlando, I'll be happy with it.

I do like the emphasis on airtime hills.

To make it worse, it also caught fire, which spread to American Thunder and Mr. Freeze. Son of Beast has been rebuilt.

I agree that Surf Coaster is one of Togo's better rides. Mega Coaster, at Hamanako Pal Pal in Japan, was a shockingly good Togo coaster (at least back in 2007 when rode it with TPR) because even though it was pretty much the same layout as Vegas's much-reviled Manhattan Express, it was pretty smooth and didn't beat you to death. Windjammer, however, was just awful--although my nephew Luke liked it when he was a kid.

So it never completes a spin? It looks like a Ring of Fire and Crab Island's Cool Surfing Coaster had a baby.

Europa Park--Germany

Oh, I think that's a given.

At least most of the gags worked.

Good point. I'm sure I'll enjoy Mako (I like Fury 325 at Carowinds quite a bit too).

^This photo has gone unchallenged for too long.
