What are the odds two major 2027 coasters got topped off in the same day, that’s kinda crazy

@WOFginger Is it a cool ride? Yes
Should it Ka's replacement? No
Cool elements and I'm sure it'll be fun, but the capacity is an issue and they've already gone for a shuttle as their last coaster... Its also replacing the most iconic coaster in the entire world
English
If you’re disappointed about a 400-foot-tall extreme spinner with an inverted stall launch I think it’s time to just retire from rollercoasters.
Jay Viruet 🦆@JayViruet
this is apparently the kingda ka replacement. not gonna lie, this is a bit disappointing. this seems to be another low capacity shuttle coaster. jay viruet will forgive it if the green lantern replacement is high capacity
English
@ChessingtonBuzz @coastersonthec1 Something circle shaped... In block world? 🤔😂
English
@coastersonthec1 Technically, in some folks eyes, Zamperla Mega Disk'Os are counted as rollercoasters (Kobra)
English
@WOFginger Alton towers most definitely don't... Hex is literally a cardboard cutout of a witch & Curse is just static things on swing arms
English
Parks that have built attractions with animatronics more recently than Silver Dollar City ($95 admission btw):
-Six Flags St. Louis
-Elitch Gardens
-Every Disney/Universal park
-Worlds of Fun
-Kings Island
-Cedar Point
-Knott’s Berry Farm
-Dorney Park
-Carowinds

Zach@WOFginger
I still cannot believe Silver Dollar City, a park that charges $95 for admission, built a new dark ride in 2024 with static figures instead of animatronics. You couldn’t afford at least 2 or 3? Hell even Six Flags St. Louis has a modern dark ride with animatronics. Cheap move.

@Olivia33x @LewisJ815PARKS @MarkHussell @ThemeParkWW All it takes is one trip to, Efteling, Europa Park, Phantasialand or even Paultons Park to see how shit Towers actually is
English
@LewisJ815PARKS @MarkHussell @ThemeParkWW Alton towers is NOT mediocrity
It’s one of the best parks ever
English
As a life long Alton Towers fan, I’ve never felt so disappointed in the park. It really is disheartening to see the place you love, fall so far behind.
Everything from the ride availability to the staggered openings is affecting the guest experience massively.
English
@clarkejoseph49 @ThemeParkWW Efteling... They won't, it doesn't fit their business model... But it's needed
English
@ThemeParkWW I think it’s time Merlin sold Alton Towers off.
I dunno, the Thompson Family?
English
@MattCarrick5 @ThemeParkWW Apparently there's no such thing as a stupid question... I think I've just found one
English
@ThemeParkWW How does one become a lifelong fan of alton towers?
English
@ThemeParkWW You Alton Towers lot do a lot of gobbing off, but you ran from Thorpe Park last season. Coward.
English
@RCXcyclopedia Holy. Shit.... Nahhhh, this video might be the best one of FF I've seen... That's unreal!!!

🎢🚨NEW Falcon’s Flight footage from Six Flags Qiddiya City!
Check out the best angle yet of the cliff dive and world record launch to 155 mph up the “St. Louis Arch-time Hill”!
Sound on for the jet engine launch!
English
@jabrilow1 @Fazcoasters Yeah but Nemesis Reborn got nothing... One of the UK's most iconic coasters, recognisable throughout the world...
English
@Fazcoasters I feel like Hyperia had a lot of hype around it's opening. They even had live performances.
English
I miss when ride openings were big deals, industry wide
Wildcats Revenge opening day had no ceremony, ride just opened
Universal HIGH 🌎@HighUniversal
Grand opening of Fast & Furious Supercharged at Universal Studios Hollywood @UniStudios
English
@witch_the_snep @coasterstudios Dragon khan is already incredibly rough
English
@coasterstudios Im skeptical. With the shakiness of new B&Ms im worried the new track will cause the same level of shakiness that we have seen on penguin trek, rapterra, and other new B&Ms.
English
Dragon Khan is the next B&M to be retracked, to extend its life span. The two elements that will be replaced are the Vertical loop and cobra roll.
PortAventura World UK@PortAventura_UK
🎢Dragon Khan, our most iconic roller coaster, is getting ready for a unique renovation at the end of its 30th anniversary season⚙️ Starting from the resort’s shutdown in January, it will undergo a partial retrack, so you can continue enjoying its adrenaline for years to come!🔧
English
@10arc10 @coasterstudios We will continue too if we wait 2 hours WHILE ALREADY IN THE STATION!!
Gwazi's one train, 10 minute dispatches are horrific
English
Should operations affect how highly you rank a roller coaster? For example, Iron Gwazi and Eejanaika have consistent, notorious dispatches. Does that play a part in your top coasters ranking?
English
@IAmMiamiFL @Fidds93 @ParkObsession Exactly. There's many more 'Extreme' coasters with higher/lower & lateral G's.. even from the same manufacturer
There's rougher rides too, that also have shoulder restraints.. those things cause sooooo much headbanging. That's literally why 'headbanging' is a coaster term...
English
@Fidds93 @ParkObsession It operates will within industry standards and tbh, isn't that extreme.
English
Another lawsuit has been filed by a woman who rode Stardust Racers on April 30th. Here is what we know according to recent reports:
• According to the guest, her head “shook violently and slammed into the seat’s headrest throughout the ride”.
• She’s claiming Universal “failed to maintain the ride in a reasonably safe condition and did not provide adequate warnings about the ride’s dangers.”
• The guest is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 for her injuries.

I’ll update as more info comes in.

@ParkObsession The amount of times I've hit my head on a Gerstlauer... If lawsuit culture was a thing over here in the UK, both Smiler and Saw would result in full on bankruptcy
