Personally, I still think that this Intamin Launch Coaster layout would have been a better fit for Playland considering that it has inversions

The layout and stats does seem to fit Senzafiato very well and I'm guessing it might be a relocation from Miragica. Either way, I don't think this will bother the vast majority of people in the Vancouver area, since they wouldn't have even known the region of Italy Miragica is in (Apulia), much less have been there or even known of the park/coaster

Personally, I could see the carousel remain where it is because I've seen cities have stand-alone carousels in their town squares. I want to say I have hope that Gold Striker would also remain as another stand-alone attraction in the development but I highly doubt the businesses would like that. I'm very sure Prudential is really happy about the CGA news

CGA's potential closure is trending on Twitter in the US at #21

Well this is very bad news for someone who lives in the area like me. I'm hoping that the park can remain open but given how valuable the land is, it's hard for Cedar Fair to not sell it. In case CGA goes, then I'd like to say thank you Great America for making me introducing and getting me into roller coasters and for all the great memories I made there.

This might refer to the upcoming tilt coaster at Energylandia or Six Flags Qiddiya. Either way, it is exciting given that this is likely the first next-gen Vekoma thrill coaster in America

Afaik, most elderly people there did not take the vaccine as they were scared of side-effects and also for most of the pandemic, Hong Kong had little to no Covid spread in the community so the elderly thought they had little need for it

New ride for 2022: Liberty Twirler, a scrambler ride built on the spot of FireFall. Edit: More info here: https://www.cagreatamerica.com/rides-experiences/liberty-twirler

This is a common theory and I'd like to call bs on that since S&S still makes roller coasters in China and has one planned for a European park. China and Europe has gotten a good amount of next gen Vekomas. My personal theory is that Vekoma is booked and busy (~30 projects under construction according to RCDB) and Vekoma wants to focus their North American attention on Disney parks. It should be noted that every coaster Vekoma built in America in the past 4 years has either been for Disney parks or family coasters

I've had this thought for a while: If money weren't a problem, I think a Vekoma next-gen coaster would be perfect for La Ronde. A launched model (I've been thinking the Top Gun model) would be especially good there considering they don't have a launch coaster https://www.vekoma.com/sitdown-thrill-coasters/top-gun-launch-coaster-1 image.png

Coaster stations are far from the only thing that are uncovered here in CA. I had always suspected it's cause of the good weather

How likely does anyone think the B&M's rumoured Surf Coaster would end up there? Personally, I think something like Mako at Sea World Orlando would suit Thorpe Park well

I think this Intamin LSM Single Launch Coaster would be a good fit for Playland. From what I can see, it looks like it could fit in the plot of land once occupied by "Corkscrew"

It looks like they are reusing the old station from Green Lantern for Flight of Courage. Sounds like an efficient way to place a station if you ask me

I wouldn't say it's practical to do a day trip from Ottawa though (at least compared to La Ronde) I haven't heard of it. Is it in Arizona?
