  1. Hmmm, just like for everyone else it will be difficult for me too, to do a top 10 without B&M, Intamin, RMC, Gravity Group, GCI, or CCI coasters. But I'll give it a try 1. Helix - Liseberg 2. Stuntfall - PWM / Deja Vu - SFMM 3. Stealth - PGA 4. Wild Mouse - Blackpool Pleasure Beach 5. Dania Beach Hurricane - Boomers Dania Beach 6. Grand National - Blackpool Pleasure Beach 7. Olympia Looping - German fairs 8. Muntanya Russa - Tibidabo 9. Montezooma's Revenge - Knott's Berry Farm 10. Expedition Everest - Animal Kingdom
  2. Definitely: The big USA trip - Coney island New York (* = First time visit) - Six Flags Great Adventure (*) - Busch Gardens Williamsburg (*) - Kings Dominion (*) - Carowinds (*) - Dollywood (*) - Holiday World (*) - Kentucky Kingdom (*) - Kings Island (*) - Kennywood (*) - Cedar Point (*) - Six Flags New England (*) - Walibi Holland
  3. Here's my short list: Tallest steel: 1. Superman: Escape from Krypton - 415ft 2. Red Force - 367,3ft 3. Shambhala - 249,3ft 4. Silver Star - 239,5ft 5. Goliath (SFMM) - 235ft 6. Speed The Ride (Nascar Cafe) - 224ft 7. Big One - 213ft 8. Stealth (Thorpe Park) - 205,1ft 9. Xcelerator - 205ft 10. Big Apple Coaster - 203ft 11. Sheikra - 200ft Tallest woodie: 1. Wildfire - 183,8ft 2. Colossos (Heidepark) - 164ft 3. Colossus (SFMM) - 125ft 4. Coaster Express - 120ft 5. Balder - 118.1ft 6. Gwazi - 105.4ft 7. Robin Hood - 105ft 8. Troy - 104.5ft 9.

  4. Last june i was finally able to ride my first RMC (Wildfire), because in Europe there is only one right now. But Wildfire did the job. What an impressive ride in an awesome location. And it even gets better in the dark and in the rain. Than the trains are atleast 4 seconds faster around the track. Next year I will be able to ride a couple more RMC's, Like Steel Vengeance, Lightning Rod, Storm Chaser, Twisted Timbers and the RMC conversion of Robin Hood. Up till now Wildfire is my overall #1, but I think both Steel vengeance and Lightning Rod will be able to claim that spot.
  5. Yes you may laugh about that schedule. The MAIN part of this trip is organised for a group of Dutch coaster enthousiasts to visit some themeparks within a short amount of time. This trip starts in Dollywood, next are Holiday World and Kentucky Kingdom, Kings Island, Kennywood and this main trip will end in Cedar Point. As an optional addition to this trip some of us wanted to Carowinds, Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg before the start of the main trip in Dollywood. After checking for flights from Europe to the States for july/august 2019, we found out flying to NYC would be a lot cheaper than flying to DC. So we will add SFGAdv to this trip too But the most difficult part of this trip is what are we going to do after visiting Cedar Point and the trip came to an end. Going back to NYC for a flight home is an option. We can visit Knoebels during this drive. Another option would be going to Canada and visit Canada's Wonderland. And a 3rd option is going straight to the next airport and go back to Europe.
  6. Yes i know, but I don't know if it will fit in our schedule.
  7. I don't know if I have done a top 10 here before, because I can't find anything yet. The last new additions to this list are from my sweden trip last june. Steel: 1. Helix - Liseberg (NEW) 2. Shambhala - PortAventura 3. Red Force - Ferrari Land 4. Nemesis - Alton Towers 5. Montu - BGT 6. Tatsu - SFMM 7. Katun - Mirabilandia 8. Expedition Geforce - Holiday Park 9. Jetline - Grona Lund (NEW) 10. Liseberg Banan - Liseberg (NEW) Wood: 1. Wildfire - Kolmarden (NEW) (#1 Overall) 2. Balder - Liseberg (NEW) 3. Troy - Toverland 4. Colossus - Heide Park 5. Wild Mouse - Blackpool Pleasure Beach (RIP) 6. Dania Beach Hurricane - Boomers Dania Beach (RIP) 7. Grand National - Blackpool Pleasure Beach 8. Giant Dipper - Belmont Park 9. Big Dipper - Blackpool Pleasure Beach 10. Stampida - PortAventura To myself this still looks like a very good list, but I think it will fully change next year. Because I am working on plans for summer next year, to visit at least 9 different themeparks in the USA with a huge amount of awesome rollercoasters. Allready included are Cedar Point, Kings Island, Kennywood, Dollywood, Holiday World, Kentucky Kingdom, Carowinds, Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg. And maybe I will add Six Flags Great Adventure and Canada's Wonderland too, depending on the schedule.
  8. Y'know, I thought about that one really hard, but I figured you would be the better person to bring the bad news. I've never thought about that. But when driving from Cedar Point back to NYC, you'll drive almost practically along it.
  9. Next year we want to make a roadtrip through the USA and now I am searching for some music that fits this trip. We are going to visit 10 themeparks in many different states, and I am searching for music from those themeparks. But it may also be music about the states those parks are located in. The themeparks we will visit are: * Six Flags Great Adventure * Busch Gardens Williamsburg * Kings Dominion * Carowinds * Dollywood * Holiday World * Kentucky Kingdom * Kings Island * Kennywood * Cedar Point The music must be located on Spotify!!

  12. I hate to see my favorite Blackpool woodie go, but luckily the nearby South Pier gets a Wild Mouse in return. But probably this will be a steel coaster.

  15. I've heard this about Vekoma many times, but what does it mean? It makes it sound like European RMCs will be designed by Schilke but built by Vekoma. Is that what happened with Wildfire? No that is wrong. RMC has chosen Vekoma to help them selling their hybrid coasters in Europe, because Vekoma has a lot of contacts with european themeparks. This makes it a lot easier for RMC. RMC still designs and builds these rollercoasters, but Vekoma will help them with the build.

  17. No, both Pax rollercoasters will be staying in the park. The Muzik Express and Slide next to the flume will be removed.
  18. You wanted to know what a Tami Tami and Shambhala are? The Tami Tami rollercoaster used to be in the Polynesia area of the park. In 2011 the Sesame Street area opened and the part of Polynesia including the Tami Tami rollercoaster was included into the new area. They kept the name and theming which has no link with Sesame Street. A Tami tami is a mythical animal from Tahiti where it saves people from their boats, who are in danger. Shambhala is a mythical kingdom north of the Himalayas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shambhala
