Just saw this thread. This is all I miss in Germany (or Europe in total). Little Parks that have visions and create Knoebel's like things. Please go on with your dreams and keep us informed. We'll put you on our US bucket list!

1. How many parks did you visit in 2019? Only four different ones due to our pregnancy: Holiday Park (3x), Europa Park (2x), Walygator Park, Rulantica 2. Best new-for-2019 (or new-to-you-in-2019) ride? Tight fit between Voletarium at Europa Park and Monster at Walygator Park! 3. Name the first 3 coasters that come to mind. Steel Vengeance (Cedar Point), F.L.Y. (Phantasialand), Expedition Ge-Force (Holiday Park) 4. What was the best flat ride you rode in 2019? Is Voletarium a flat ride? If not, it's Gletscherflieger at Europa-Park 5. What is your favorite RMC under 130 feet? (cheat sheet) Sadly, my RMC count is still zero. So I hope I'm able to answer this next off-season 6. What was the last Premier coaster that you rode? Flight of Fear, Kings Island in 2017 7. Name a park you've been to that you're already planning to revisit. Cedar Point 8.

Pick one I have been to none of them, but I like to see Dollywood more. 11. What ride/coaster disappointed you the most in 2019? Euro-Mir. Shaky, bumpy, old. Lost it's glory to me. 12. You're at Great Adventure. You play that racist-ish gong game and win a one hour ERT session for you and your friends on ONE coaster of your choice. But damn! El Toro, Kingda Ka and Nitro are all down! So you ride... Is Jersey Devil open? No? Batman! 13. What is the last coaster that changed your top 10? Monster at Walygator Park 14.

Most times you've ridden one coaster (rough estimate or exact if you're a super nerd) Uuuhh.. I don't count rerides. But it has to be Millennium Force at Cedar Point, Expedition Ge-Force at Holiday Park or Wodan at Europa Park. We really hit the crap out of Millennium Force every night of the four we had. 31.

(degree of difficulty: NOT a new-for-2020 ride) Steel Vengeance. 38. Name 3 parks you want to visit in the next 3 years. Walibi Holland, Hansa Park and Cedar Point. 39. Name 3 other forum members you hope fill this out. Coasterbrit (I wanted to say coasterbill, but I'm too slow. So I support his wish), Nrthwnd and SharkTums! 40. Show us how cool you are by posting a picture of yourself on a coaster or in front of coaster. Bonus points if you're holding a sign with a number on it like the nerd you are. Paul was too busy watching Expedition Ge-Force, so he could't join the selfie. What a nerd.

Wodan - Europa-Park Night ride, back row

Well be in the park on saturday and in Rulantica on sunday - if someone is around, let us know!

Europa-Park on saturday and Rulantica on sunday!

^^ Awesome! I wish I had a chance to get one of these!

Taron - Phantasialand

So.. Again, Sarah and me were making burgers for ourselves! This time, we had: - organic whole wheat bread - organic burger sauce - organic bbq sauce - white onions - roasted onions - red salad - twelve month old, hand cut cheddar - homemade beef patties (150 g / 5.3 oz) with pepper rub - tomatoes (Sarah only) Best burgers we had in a while!

Hey, one day Kings Island can be enough, but if you want to ride alle the coasters and each one maybe more than once, you should consider buying a fast lane. It really lets you have a better day. Same is for Cedar Point. Two days will be enough to get on every major coaster, assuming there are no major downtimes. But I would also start budgeting now for a fast lane at one day. So you will have done everything, as much as you like, on day one and you can use day two for reriding and having a great day at CP. Just put some dollars in a jar every week from now until yout trip and your stress free, heavy riding days at CP and KI are safe!

We made Burgers ourselves yesterday. Experimented with sheep cheese, buffalo mozzarella and camembert for the cheese and serrano bacon. Veeery tasty. unfortunately no photos. I grilled the pattys and put them into the 80°C warm oven after applying the cheese, so the cheese could melt.

Well, if that would stop them riding these rides - good for me and all the other ones not giving a $h1t about these negative hypes!

Maverick

Holly's Wilde Autofahrt (Relocated) - Holiday Park

From what I understand, it will be two-across seating. Based on that prototype that they built however long ago, you'll board basically sideways, like Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, and then the cars will rotate into the correct orientation. Yeah, that's right. There will also be something like a pre show/dark ride part between boarding and the rotation of track and seats, introducing you into the story of Rookburgh/FLY.

^ And now think about that: All the last created things were in reality even better than the trailer was.. Holy $h1t!

Corkscrew - Cedar Point

Thanks for giving us all the insights! I really appreciate it!

Arthur - Europapark

Yeah.. Maybe you gotta put some of these Batman clones to central Europe.. But Raptor, Monster, Black Mamba and Banshee.. Front row, outside, please.

Perhaps it's just me, but I didn't find any invert yet I liked in the back row. All B&M's the other way, I love to death in the front row.

Vortex - Kings Island Rest in Pieces!

SkyScream - Holiday Park

I just can't believe they turned all three cameras down just for us not being able to see the construction of the lift hill on one of the cameras. But since the cameras worked fine during the time of being offline (otherwise there wouldn't have been the timelapse video) it really looks so. I don't get it why they turned off the other two.

Phoenix - Knoebels

That's such an incredible view on the webcams right now. Looks almost like black and white picture with some color effects in the trees and - of course - track and cranes!
