    This park is just pure awesome! I don't think I've ever heard of a park's management team being this considerate. Great job Kolmarden and wish you guys all the best in the future!

    ^Agreed. Lightning Run and Storm Chaser are already very similar, and judging from the T-Rex layouts, I would bet if KK went for a standard layout it would be way too repetitive. I really wish they can get a nice family coaster this time.

    It's very lucky that the center of gravity of the train is so high up that the wheels and chassis landed first. I guess there will be some major concussions but at least the riders will be more likely to keep their legs.

    Classification isn't that important IMO. Real innovative designs often blur the line between different classifications and make people discuss where they fit into. Is RMC wood or steel? Is Kaernan a hyper? Is Wonder Mountain's Guardian a coaster or a dark ride? Is Gerstlauer's vertical lift a new category of lifting mechanism? Is the 153 degrees turn on Outlaw Run an inversion? Is American Eagle a racing coaster or dueling coaster? Who cares?

    Dondonpa is laughing at this thread right now.

    This is really sad, hope they can find out what really lead to the accident. Let's stop blaming the manufacturer for now, it can be poor maintenance, construction etc that lead to the accident. Yes Pinfari never made anything not sketchy but this is their first major accident (?) Hope all the injured riders will recover well.

    Caught up on what's been going on at Epcot finally. Soarin'-Gald the old pre show video and the queue line stayed! The preshow video in Shanghai is very nice but I still prefer the old one because makes more sense. Love the hidden Mickey at the end with Spaceship earth! I'm so jealous Epcot has a third theater because Shanghai Disney's Soarin' line moves painfully slow and DCA isn't that busy anyway. Frozen- Wow this is a great dark ride! Would love to see it appearing around the world! Disney never disappoints at dark rides! SDR Exhibition-God this really made me miss Shanghai Disneyland!

    Ahh that's what that empty area where the Top Spin used to be is for! Nice to see Nagashima Spaland keep getting rather modern rides, the park was very nice but overall feels like it was stuck in the 80's.

    This is awesome!

    ^Triple launch Aquatrax interacting with water rides, has 11 tunnels underneath the water park, dark ride sections with three huge animatronics and single rider lines.

    ^ Haven't been to AK but hell yeah it would definitely fit in perfectly! Does anyone know anything about the Toy Story area? What will they have and what manufacturer they went for etc?

    Surprisingly lots of airtime and very close to the real ones quality wise. But no matter how well they made it, it is still a knock-off and I only respect real things.

    I really wish Mack wild mouse and wooden bobsled are still around.Should be really interesting to try them out.

    Leg day: find a coaster with high G and OTSR, stand up coasters are the best. Leave a click or two on the restraint and try to lift up your body with your legs during the ride. Kumba and Riddler's Revenge gave me some of the best leg work outs. Think about it I was squading 700+ pounds! Arms day: raise your arms parallel to the track, and keep them that way when you marathon a coaster. Good for shoulders and biceps. Abs, back and sides: do a wooden coaster with strong lateral and try your best bending your upper body against the direction of the lateral force. Neck: SLC

    Hmmm yeah, I do think maybe adding something like that to the back of Tarzan tree house, over Indiana Jones' entrance would probably fit in.
  17. gerstlaueringvar
    Yea like there's space for anything in there at this moment.

    Hmmm I tried to find if there's a way to get English version of FP but couldn't do it. Anyway about the Adventure Trail, there are CM here and there to assist the guests, I've never seen anyone get stuck though, there are some challenging paths but everybody get through it just fine.

    Definitely! 1. The Adventure Trail is good for people of all ages. 2. See the two pictures below, the traditional Vekoma Motorbike coaster has lap restraint attached to the handle bar. When you pull the handlebar towards you, the back restraint lowers towards your upper back. And there is a tilted box at each sides of the bike for you to put your feet in. On the newly designed TRON vehicles, the back restraint and handle bar combo is the same but the shin restraint+box combo is replaced by a moveable shin guard that has tall sides and a small metal bar that closes to the back of your knees as you pull down the handlebar. The connecting part between two cars are flat walkways so you can walk around the car to access the Lightcycle at the other side of the train. Also the bikes are higher off the track than the traditional design, so the walkway at the beginning and end can cover up parts of the track to make you feel like you're on a race track rather than a roller coaster track. This new design made the loading and unloading so much faster than the original design. I think I'll get more spinning this way. Photo from RCDB

    TRON Lightcycle Power Run. Vekoma did an incredible job there.

    ^There are a lot of cast members from Hong Kong, US and some from Europe I would assume. They are in Shanghai to make sure grand opening goes smoothly and continue training the local cast members because the park is still working out the bugs caused by the rushed opening. From what I see, a lot of the local CMs are still not trained enough to handle the scenes caused by ridiculous guests so basically the CM from HK and US were handling the situations. It is kind of chaotic because of all the different languages flying around but that's the best they can do honestly. I noticed a CM quality decline at HK Disney earlier and now I know all the good ones were in Shanghai. And Shanghainese is basically Mandarin with an accent, there's only two major languages in China: Mandarin and Cantonese (Hong Kong and Canton area)

    Exactly my thoughts after I rode that. I almost crapped my pants the first time I rode it! Didn't want to jump into conclusion that this is my favorite in the world but yes it is!
