I was one of those teenagers back in 2002. In couple of weeks me and a few other Brazilians will terrorize TPR Road to Cedar Point. Regarding the article I would point out that Tampa is merely the place where Busch Gardens sits , when talking about this kind of tour slash tourism operators. Is just a day out of Orlando. Cheetah Hunt was big in here, it made it in all major TV programs and newsppr. You guys can check the almost 5 minutes doc in the most watched and most influential program www.youtube.com/watch?v=b13uZB3Q_gI( all in portuguese). That very show was so popular that they made into another show talking about coasters, including the Brazilian Coaster Club ( cbmr.com.br) Founder to talk a bit about coaster ( in portuguese again). www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuvmWRlHCT0 What drive us to Orlando is the parks ( shopping is just an add on that comes nicely along) and the best part is that overall, we have such big love for Orlando, but we cannot manage to have an up to the same level theme park within our country.

Awesome photos.... I was just wondering if you got the chance to visit Starplay / Imply tech booth?? Its a electronic games and bowling company. My boss and some of my coworkers were there! Think the next couple of years for the amusement Ind. will be interesting, considering the attandence growth.

Wheres all the GUINNESS??? I have one off topic comments about Ireland Parks: Irish Fun Fair circuit is 10000 times better than regular amusements. There's a travelling park called Funderland have 4 big venues every year. Their top ride is an old Looping Star that came from Italy, Luneur( Or something like that/too lazy to look it up on rcdb). One of the ride operators told me some interesting things about these particular coaster. He said that they managed to reduce the number of semi-trailers necessary to transport the ride.He also told me about some kind of an accident they had while building up the coaster once(didn't gave me details, I guess someone died). And that the ride is for sale, cause they don't have many places to go each year( I takes about 1 week to build it and unbuild it). If someone have 1 million euros heres the ad (RC46): http://www.interlink-lg.com/UsedRides/RC.html (Once again sorry for the off topic comment) Looking forward to read the Day 2!

Yes methos, it was Beto Carrero. Look at : http://www.cbmr.v10.com.br Brazilian Coaster Club, Brazilian and International info all in portugues, but theres a lot of photos just click around!!

Wrong, the park is rehabing all rides, the maintenance is massive in beto carrero. As soon as possible i'll bring official info about these bizarre incident. DBru you don't ride your car the day after it brokes, and has already been fixed? cars kill zillion times more than coasters, YOU KNOW THAT

It means that the rescues( fireworkers) didn't have any tumult rescuing the riders....

Hopi Hari have a debt bigger than R$100 million( USD 50 million). That's why Montezum(wood) is in a very bad shape.

Does anyone know´s about the theme park industry statistics, like visitors anual, invoicing, investments, how many new parks per year etc etc? I´ll be glad for any help!

Yes the land was sold for 130 million Reais(brazilian money) the new owner will make something similar to downtown Disney. But we are not sure when the park is going to close. We think next month. At least Monte Makaya is going to Beto Carrero World next yaer, probably in the new park that he's is building. BTW terra encantada was never finished look at the unfinished castle Its HUGE about 50 meters but not finished... Look at the mapo on the guide at coasterforce.com, how it suposed to be.

Thanks tom!! I'm trying to show the brazilian parks, if someone don't think thats interesting please just ignore it! Heres a random link for my english as a 2nd fu**ing language(VERRRY FUNNY): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heg6TsnMmsw&search=shakira%20mad%20tv ps: my mother tougue is portuguese not spanish. Beto carrero's Entrance. LOOK a REAAAL Castle Here's the 300ft tower at Beto Carrero World. There's also a rapid ride with REAL STONES theme! www.betocarrero.com.br
