Europa Park Discussion Thread

Such a beautiful park... very upsetting to see this happen. Glad everyone made it out safely though. The owners seem very dedicated and will hopefully rebuild what was lost. -
Quick Trip report: Fiesta Texas, 12/26/17
CanobieFan replied to bert425's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm laughing how Superman was closed due to temperatures while here in New England, Mind Eraser is running in 9 degree weather, with a wind chill of -3. Great report, Wonder Woman looks stellar! -
I really can't spin all that much, so Tomahawk is a bit difficult for me. This seems to fix that problem, and the height and speed of this massive contraption will definitely make me buy a season pass!! So glad a local park is getting one of these, they seem so fun and exhilarating! I personally love the theme, and I think it's MUCH better than Wonder Woman.

The Great Escape (TGE) Discussion Thread
CanobieFan replied to Red Benny's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I get that its upsetting that TGE hasn't gotten a new coaster, but I'm honestly really glad that the park hasn't been flagged. Everything there is so unique, and they seem to take pride in their old story town history by restoring many artifacts from the past. TGE reminds me a lot of Lake Compounce and Canobie Lake Park, and that's a good thing! Overall, another solid addition to the park. Sure, its not the overdue coaster, but it's a good thrill ride and great for families. -
Looks like a pretty fun attraction, but I too feel it's short. Statistically it may not be, but it just feels so short. I understand it's tough because the cyclone had a very compact layout, and it could even be the faster speed, but man I'm a little disappointed the rides so short. Still looks amazing though!!!

Canobie Lake Park Discussion Thread
CanobieFan replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The park's carousel organ almost went extinct this year. After months of it sitting abandoned, the organ has been restored and is now operating again. My favorite part of an amusement park in New England is how canobie continues to maintain little nostalgia details for younger people to see. -

The airtime oh my god -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
CanobieFan replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't PTC trains but more wear and tear on the track because they're heavier then Timberliners and Millennium Flyers? Does the new PTC train also suffer from this? I still think they're a phenomenal compromise but I still love me some good classic PTC trains -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread
CanobieFan replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I agree with GCI doing the track. Yankee Cannonball at Canobie Lake Park lost some amazing, powerful airtime and made the once spectacular classic coaster into a mediocre one... oh well. I'm extremely happy Holiday World had kept the PTC trains on all their wooden coasters. They certainly make a difference. -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

^ Wow, I thought I was alone in my logic about PTC trains. While I've never ridden Voyage, I feel the same way with the PTC trains in Boulder Dash. So many local enthusiasts would love Millennium Flyers to be used on Boulder Dash and wonder why they weren't purchased with the new Wildcat trains. It would take out so much of the intensity of Boulder Dash. Feel like it would lose a huge piece of its vicious bite. I would imagine the same could be said about Voyage based on stats and videos I have seen. I love PTC trains, judge me -

The new Future World looks great and is much needed. However, I have a quick question, as I can't seem to find the answer anywhere... What's going on with Imagination and when are they closing Universe of Energy? -

Most Disappointing Coaster!

Millennium Force at Cedar Point -
I'm going to get hate for this but oh well I love Wicked Cyclone, it's easily the best coaster at SFNE, and I'm sure all the other RMC Hybrids are unbelievable, but it's getting kind of ridiculous how many wooden coasters are being demolished. There's a certain charm and thrill factor incorporated in a wooden coaster a steel coaster just can't duplicate. On a wooden coaster, the ride will be different each visit. A steel coaster is neutral and doesn't change with the weather. I don't know maybe it's just me. I understand some of the rides. Mean Streak, Rattler, New Texas Giant, etc. Those were unbearable. Cyclone was a little rough but even then all it needed was its original drop restored and new trains, not a total make over. That ride was built intense and should've stayed in it's true original form. Crowds would still eat it up today. Colossus may have had an average layout, but it was an icon and a decent ride. I was a lttle confused with that one, but understand the purpose as it was much more marketable and that had another wooden coaster in the park. Roar, however, was absolutely ridiculous. It was a GCI. No need to redo that. Plus, that park no longer has a wooden coaster. Just my two cents, but Wicked Cyclone IS unbelievable.
