First time I will be voting this year, so I was going though my list of parks and noticed that the Bob was still listed by the Efteling despite being closed. Looking forward to vote.

Here are some that come to mind: Taron Phantasialand, although this is my weakest argument, yes the second half the ride literaly explodes the intensity but also the last 7 seconds are not all there. Pulsar Walibi Belgium, This ride is all buildup and then just ends. Untamed Walibi Holland, the second half loses like next to no speed until the end. Avalanche Pleasure Beach Blackpool, This Bobsled is literaly just a downhill ride picking up speed as it does. Also kind of a troll but so true: All motorized coasters that do 2 laps.

Ideal: Spain Trip that was suppose to happen in 2020. Tripsdrill and Europa Park too. Realistic: My four annual visits (Efteling, Walibi Holland, Toverland, Phantasialand). Bobbejaanland, Walibi Belgium, Plopsaland de Panne and Movie Park Germany. Granted with Realistic I keep in mind that the borders in Europe will be freely open at some point in the year. I mean it wasn't a problem this summer and I be shocked if next sumer it will be.

My Mind: "Okay let's do this thing you always wanted." Me: "Okay then let's go do that." My mind: "Oh, no. I'm way to scared for that." Me: "...." All the time, I love it.

I love the Mandalorian, I remember having a roller coaster of emotions before it came out. First time hearing about it a show about Mandalorians exited me, within the Star Wars lore they have the most interesting culture and history and getting Mandalorian ships and weapons (like the Darksaber) in life-action would be awesome, then it was announced to be about a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter and I was like: "Okay, so discount Bobba Fett. Why do all Life-action Mandalorians have to be bounty Hunters?". But it was Star Wars related so I would watch it, Episode 1 just hooked me and after season 2 I'm sure the show will continue to have my attention. As a Star Wars fan I like to call it the show that keeps on giving.

^ I really like the color, too bad I cannot see what it is, it looks both red and purple to me.

@Nrthwnd, The trains are not going anywhere it's the boat ride with the whale that's going. Last week there was some news about the expansion, the Dutch high court has revealed a partly judgment that said that the park isn't allowed to expand yet. About 15 from 141 points aren't good enough but the park now has half a year to fix them, so this still hasn't come to an end.

The last item. The most expensive Lego set ever made. The 75192 Millennium Falcon. Normal Price around here is €850,- I paid €693,- Still can't believe I actually did buy it as I didn't plan it, but this whole year was a bit weird so it kind of happened. Should have kept the size of it in account as I have no idea where to leave it when I'm done.

Like the new look. Like the new features as like and the warnings when somebody post in a thread. I've really missed the site the past few days.

F.L.Y. Phantasialand last Sunday. Didn't expect to ride it that soon but really can't complain.

F.L.Y. Review: Manged to get two rides today, I have to say I did not expect the ride to compete with my most favorite coasters but it does. I mean the ride itself is on the tamer side, that was what I expected, but the theming there it has me. I didn't look up the queue before riding it and only saw some glimpses and I'm happy I didn't, For me the experience starts at the begging of the queue and if you get me this close to the ride in a well themed queue you instantly get bonus points, If I have to wait give me a distraction please. Then I entered the station and there I was sold naming the station Rookburgh Zentral Kai, Let's keep it that that means a lot to me and keep it at that. But seriously great experience. I didn't expect that the first launch would be my favorite, usually the second just goes all out but F.L.Y. you pick up speed by the second launch but by the time you're up the hill it's all for nothing, the first launch however you get to enjoy the fruits off. Music was great, I'm sure it's IMA Score again that's also a instant win for me, I love their work really do. As for the main feature the turning seats, I did not expect it to feel so natural, like you're making some weird double movements but it's so smooth, I don't know if placing it in corners helps, but great odd experience. All I can say now another great ride to the Phantasialand line up, really worth the years wait if you ask me.

Apparently the rooms are very small and based around the Japanese capsule hotel, but from what I get from the picture these are actual rooms. Also booked for Sunday, fingers crossed? I believe this weekend I have the highest chance on riding it soon but if I can't a couple more rides on Taron, Black Mamba and Talcon are sure to sooth the pain.

It's another beautiful mess they created. I know I've been last week but I want to return and check it out for myself.

Again don't want to spread anything but... This post of my was posted on page 248 of this Thread Four pages and two and a half month (My post April 6th 2017 and announcement 20th June 2017) before the announcement of F.L.Y. took place. Why bring this up now? The same website posted a tweet a couple of hours ago hinting to a opening tomorrow. Source Most of the time I would have ignored the tweet but this just put me on edge. I have no idea what to make of this yet, guess we have to wait but it did peak my interest. I wonder what you guys make of it.

Taron Phantasialand today a week ago.

Wait the first time I read about this I figured it was just a restaurant and some digital experience not entire new gate, that confuses me even more then the beginning. I wonder how this will will turn out for them as I don't understand the move at all.

And here I am going the 9th. Jocking aside I'm excited this might actually open soon it has taken way to long. Love to see it as it is intended.

Movie Park announced their 2021 attraction this week. It's an Itamin Multidimensional coaster (Same as Th13teen (Alton Towers), Inferno (Cinecittà World)) Track Length: 532 Meters (1745,4 FT) Speed: 60 Km/h (37,3 MPH) Two Launches (One Forward, One Backwards) 360 Degree turn table Onboard Audio Trains: 3 trains with 3 cars for 12 people per train. Capacity: 900 People per Hour Location: Former Ice Age Adventure building. (Source for Coaster info.) To be honest wasn't expecting a coaster but this one sound really fun. Curious how they handle this one, if it's like Van Hellsing or more traditional indoor coasters (Some effects).

These aerial shots show what beautiful messes Phantasialand can make and I mean that as a complement. First Taron and now F.L.Y. their limitations make them so creative with space and theming. I'm just ready and excited to ride F.L.Y. already and I'm looking forward already to the next addition to the park, Where it would be crammed into what limitations they have to work around and how it would make this park even more beautiful then it already is.

This is all speculation but I guess it has to do with the fact they already have a racing coaster in Joris en de Draak, so they probably wanted to keep twin track design fresh and have them go in opposite directions. But Like I said that is just guess work. For me it works, the theme is two kids running amok in a village so seeing the trains go in opposite directions creates a chaotic scene, but for the onride experience it did nothing for me, they could easily run these coasters independent from one other if you ask me.

^^I honestly cannot describe why I have that feeling, all I can say it's down to the use and ratio of the colors, I don't think that meshes well with the rest of the park. On a side not the park shared the onrides of both tracks today: Moritz: Max: Source: Efteling Youtube channel.

It's not at all dueling the rides go in oposite directions and Moritz is already halfway into the station before Max enters it (rides stop around the same time though, Moritz slows down signifantly in the station while Max keeps a bit of speed). I also had little intrest around the ride, It's that I was early yesterday night and had about a 15 minute wait or els I would have skipped the ride because I knew I would go this morning. But knowing I only was allowed one ride this morning (what I don't agree with because there was no line (previeuw was before opening) and 20 minutes later I was on my way home) I thought it was worth it to try one track last night and the other this morning .

Yesterday night and this morning I had the oppertunity to ride Max & Moritz. I have to say I had my doubts but the rides are pretty fun. The ride is a bid faster then I expected it to be and while I like the surrounding area the station and queue aren't my style. The station has some nice things in it but the overal picture is messy and very bold collors that I don't think mesh well with the rest of the park but thats my only complaint. Yesterday I rode Moritz (Green track) and this morning Max (Blue track) and I have to favor Max. Max feels quicker and seems to keep a better pace. I think it's a okay addition to the park.

^ I just love that they say: "If you do not bring your own face mask, you can buy one at Phantasialand." and then immediately follow with a list of area's where you have to wear a mask and the first place on that list is: "Park Entrances." I don't know I just find it funny, granted maybe they sell some before the entrances but the way I read it was like: "Yes we sell them if you don't have any but you cannot come in the park without them." On a serious note, seems like the same rules as here in the Netherlands except in the Netherlands the face masks aren't mandatory. I also read that F.L.Y. might indeed open in 2020, apparently the Parks Tik Tok account said that so take it with a huge grain of salt. If it does I really want to visit the park this year or else I don't know.

I'm really hoping on May for theme parks to reopen in Europe but I have little hope now. It's just getting depressive reading day after day that parks are extending their closure. I really keep a low hope on a 2020 season at all at this point.
