My home park is open year-round, so yes. (My home park is Efteling) Do you think Hyperion will be the best new coaster of 2018?

Pizza

That are some of the best photos I have seen from Pandora! Thanks for sharing them!

That looks fantastic! And let's be honest, who doesn't love a beautiful mess of track?

Great update! And awesome photos! I have to admit, Skyrush and i305 are near the top of my bucket list. I just have to get myself across the big pond in a couple of years..

Still an 8 out of 10.

Imagine Gravity Group or Martin & Vleminckx?

Some very sad news from Bobbejaanland today. RIP

Round

Parc Saint Paul just announced a new Gravity Group wooden coaster for 2018. Here is the link to the announcement.

Gravity Group wooden coaster for Parc Saint Paul in 2018 Parc Saint Paul, located in France, is expanding its offer for the next season with an investment of 2.5 million euros. This is the arrival of a great novelty, in this case a brand new family wooden roller coaster named Wood Express, produced by the American manufacturer, The Gravity Group. Wood Express will have a smooth and compact layout of 479 meters. The duration of the ride will be just under 2 minutes. The first descent will be 57°. Wood Express will have multiple tight turns, bumps and no less than 13 moments of airtime. The lift hill elevates up to 15 meters. This will allow the train to reach a maximum speed of 61 km/h. Note that the attraction will be accessible from guests taller than 1,10 meter. The capacity will be 372 people per hour. The construction will begin at the end of the 2017 season. Wood Express will be located on the area in front of the reception. Because of this expansion, two attractions will no longer be found in the park next year. According to multiple sources, these two attractions are Wild Train and Formule 1. With 39 attractions, the family amusement park of Saint Paul offers its visitors also 5 restaurants and 800 picnic places, not to mention the 1300 free parking spaces. The parc opened in 1983 and covers 27 hectares. Parc Saint Paul welcomes 375,000 visitors each year. There is no official POV from the park itself, nor from Gravity Group.

Cedar Fair Tivoli Gardens or Gröna Lund?

^Indeed, I do not fully understand it either. As you can see in the picture below, the space between two cars is at most 40 centimeters. How is it possible to precisely fall in that gap? Anyway, I hope he will fully recover.
