Nice TR, i went to the Efteling today and rode it twice, great ride! Just like said before, the dark ride part is what makes the ride so great (amazing effects!), the coaster itself is IMO not bad, not good, but average. Sadly, the ride broak down twice today, with people stuck on the brakes and in the water for a while, and the ride being closed, but on both occasions the staff got the ride up and running again within the hour. But this does make me wonder wether or not KumbaK makes reliable coasters, it certainly isn't good advertising.

Linnanmäki Discussion Thread
RCfanatic replied to Andrew643's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Cool! Thanks alot for posting the link. Just like the one in Terra Mitica, i'm very interrested in this coaster! -
I was actually quite exited about this project, until i heard about the bad restraints on the X-cars, i hope it isn't to bad or that these X-cars are better than the ones on G-force. But i'm still looking forward to this coaster, the lay-out looks very unique (Maurer Sohne really did a good job fitting the coaster in the small area!), and who knows maybe it'll still be a good ride!

Walibi Holland Discussion Thread
RCfanatic replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
WE need amusement parks to survive!!! Lol! -
This one will be exactly the same as the one in Finland, so also with a chain lift. The new additions look good and I look forward to seeing how the new additions will be themed, and i look forward to riding them someday! Thanks to the Spanish members for keeping us up-to-date on this and others Spanish projects!

Walibi Holland Discussion Thread
RCfanatic replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Souds good for the park, i hope they'll get more visitors now (maybe the extra money can be spent on new thrill rides), i only hope that removing Via Volta won't scare away the dutch youngsters. thanks for the news! -
Heide Park Discussion Thread
RCfanatic replied to Sebbe's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nice colors, nice lay-out and nice theme, i'm satisfied. Okay, its a bit of a shame that it's a clone, but it's still a good coaster. -
Photo TR: Plopsa Indoor and Toverland
RCfanatic replied to Wishmaster's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Nice trip report, Plopsa Indoor looks beautiful! I'm thinking of going there this week (it's the only Belgian park I haven't visited yet), is there anything interesting except for the kiddie credit? Anyways, thanks for the pics! -

Thanks for the pics! I cant wait to ride my first GCI this summer, and this one looks pretty good! -
Photo TR: Attractiepark Slagharen & Hellendoorn
RCfanatic replied to RCfanatic's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Central Holland, close to Zwolle, both are 1 hour east of Walibi World, Hellendoorn is not far south from Slagharen (30min. drive). For a detailed map, just type in "Hellendoorn" or "Slagharen" in a route-finder site like this one: ViaMichelin. -
Bon-Bon Land confirms Han Katten for 2007
RCfanatic replied to Tobias94's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nice! Sounds like fun, especially with Bon-Bon Land's unique theming skills (can't wait to see the theme !!!). RCDB sais its a Gerstlauer Spinning, i've never been on one but i hear they're not so bad (thow not as good as Maurer Sohne's). -
Toverland Discussion Thread
RCfanatic replied to turbolaaf's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Explenation: lots of nerd making lots of calculations lol. Seriously now, i think its just calculating where what has to be to be albe to fit, wich is still kind of amazing becouse one miscalculation could screw up the entire project. -
PortAventura Discussion Thread
RCfanatic replied to Shockwave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
IMO the coaster looks great! The speed, the turns, the wingwalker trains, the part over the lake,... The arguments for the coaster being lame are good ones, but i think the speed and the other special features will make up for the lack of a top hat. Anyways, nothing's sure yet, let's hope the reviews turn out good! -
I rode it last summer for the first time, and i must say i liked it, okay its a VERY odd ride with odd theming, but i just had fun riding it! The backwards turns and the darkness are a bit disorienting, and the ride has some fun G's here and there, i came out laughing and thinking "WTF?", but i had fun!

Heide Park Discussion Thread
RCfanatic replied to Sebbe's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Thanks for posting the pics/links!, Nice to see construction is underway, the colours look really nice and original! I wonder if there's going to be a difference with Rita? I still haven't seen any official annauncement saying it'll be an exact clone. Anyways, i can't wait to see it finished and when the theming is up. -
Thanks for the nice TR! Tivoli Gardens looks nice (especially Deamonen!), and so does Danmark. I hope i'll get to Scandinavia some day, the parks there look great!
-
The turnaround looks nice! And it does look a bit like the Silver Star turnaround, indeed. I really like the sort of crammed out & back layout with the tracks running under/over each other and now the sharp turn, its like 1 straight line over the park! Anyways, this is a really intersesting coaster IMO.

Siam Park - Waterpark in the Canary Islands
RCfanatic replied to Lincow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ You're thinking of another Siam Park, called "Siam Park City", wich is in Thailand and is already operating, the one from this thread is in Spain. Here's the RCDB park link: www.rcdb.com/pd861.htm. -
