Hey guys, thank you for the previous advice. Does anyone know how their rain policy is? Because I don’t have many options to got there and the weather forecast might not me too good. Do they usually close rides (specifically the coasters)?
-
^It's funny that after a year without posts I'm coming here to say the same.
Ispeed!! It was an awesome ride! One of my favourite coasters, now. Could be a bit longer but it packed a massive punch during the entire ride. Now I see why everyone loves maverick, given that they are a similar type of ride.

Katun at Mirabilandia
awesome invert! Especially in the back which has great forces.
-
Master thai at mirabilandia
it was supposed to be a VR ride but for some reason only a few trains got it... It was just a family coaster, then
-
Probably Europa Park in a week or two.
-
Raptor at Gardaland.
Fun ride, nothing really intense but fun and smooth.

Mammut at Gardaland

Hey guys, I'm currently studying in the north of Italy and was thinking of going to Europa Park. I have other parks to visit and not much time as some close in the end of October. I saw EP is open also in November and December but my question is if it is common for the park to close some rides in that time of the year because if it is perhaps I'll try to go there sooner.
Thanks

93 miles away from a crappy family coaster, 268 to a mack water coaster and 291 to a vekoma slc.
So.. I'm pretty well

I feel like people exaggerate the whole B&M rattle thing so much, but I have to say I could only ride Fury a few times in a row because it was so jarring to my brain.
I can ride the roughest craziest wooden coasters without issue but can't handle too much of a new B&M giga due to rattle ...go figure.
Strangely enough I have experienced the same thing. I've ridden extremely rough rides and only three have given me headaches, one of which was gatekeeper (in 2013). I used to think people were making this rattle issue up and so I was extremely surprised when that happened to me. I still consider most B&Ms very smooth, though. I find it amazing how I've ridden 20 year old B&Ms which were as smooth as it gets and perhaps that's why I find it odd that there have been these reports on some of their newer rides.

Wow this just looked like on of those concepts that never actually get built but it isn't! It'll certainly be unique but I wonder if I'd ride it
-
Not that many
2012 - shambhala
2013 - ghatekeeper
2015 - cu chulainn at tayto park
2017 - Red Force at ferrari land
-
The same park is getting a Blue Fire clone and an Intamin Impulse similar to Wicked Twister (both spikes are twisted) going by RCDB.
Wow, that's pretty impressive. And a nice set of coasters

Stampida at Portaventura (red side)

Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits

Probably Mirabilandia or Gardaland next month.

Thanks for posting. The pacing looks incredible but then so do many of these new Chinese GCIs. Great
-
Furius Baco at Portaventura. Still very rough but still amazing, though.
-
^Great! The first drop looks amazing (a bit like expedition GeForce) and overall looks very "complete" and pretty fast, as soma have said, for the first runs.

40 minutes for Talon? You poor unfortunate soul. The longest I waited for anything at Dorney was roughly 20 minutes for the rapids on a brutally hot day.
The lines were short that day (although I don't remember waiting 0 trains) but when the waterpark closed they filled up a bit.
-
Without fastlane you might have to wait a whopping two trains to go out before you get on Hydra
The funny thing is that while you're joking you're still overestimating the wait times by a full 2 trains. I've been going to Dorney since I was a kid (mostly on weekends) and have never seen a 2 train wait for Hydra in my life.
The Hydra queue is almost always empty. Even on weekends, the line is never past the staircase. However, I was there on a Sunday this year and somehow the line was going down the first switchback.
Obviously this is
Wow I must have been really unlucky. I've only been to dorney once and yes, it was on a Saturday. But later in the day the line got longer than in that pic and I actually waited 40 minutes for talon. So I find it a bit strange/funny when I hear people saying how ridiculously short the lines are.

Two weeks ago.
When was the last time you were on a plane?
-
I still have to say skyrush even though I complain about it being painful. I just haven't ridden anything quite like it since

Thanks for the information. We’ll see how things go and hopefully the weather isn’t too bad.
