Probably no where I’d rather be than right here watching ducks take their first plunge into the Islands lagoon

& with a Velocicoaster sunset. It took a few minutes for the first one to muster up the courage!
HULK might be running a bit fast today as 25ish% of trains are coming to a full stop on the MCBR.
Gives some fun hangtime through the corkscrew though! A whole new ride experience 😆
After endless strange looks and conversations from holding my phone up to a hole in the wall for over 1.5 hours over two days, including someone who thought I was using my phone to lure a dino to come up to me🤔; here’s launch 1 and launch 2🔊 Full update:
The Zambezi Zinger new for 2023 at Worlds of Fun! The first full Titan Track from GCI. “This beloved coaster is reimagined for 2023 as a thrilling new ride that delves into the heart of the African Serengeti. Embrace memories of the original Zinger..revel in the new experiences.”
Current lighting pattern of the Velocicoaster launches: Pulsing blue to flashing yellow/blue; during the first half lights remain blue, then you can see the lights turn red & “follow” the train with more red lights from right to left towards the next launch.

S&S Worldwide has confirmed that two AXIS coasters are in the works! Locations are unknown, track is currently being built for one of them!
Prototype POV:
Finally happened: got stuck on launch 2 & a relaunch backward then forward.
Cool custom audio from Mr. DNA himself warning of the backward launch & some fun nerdy pneumatics as we jogged back and forth to reset. Wasn’t shitting myself or anything. Best ride ever.

Poland is about to have another theme park! Hossoland will have 50 attractions and plans opening in 2024. A coaster from MACK and Vekoma were confirmed at the announcement. The park is already under construction.
A patent filed in July of 2020 shows a new Lap Bar restraint system by Swiss Manufacturer Bolliger and Mabillard.
Could this be for the upcoming Surf Coaster model? Read some more about the new seats and some speculations:
Two of my favorite angles from the new VelociCoaster bridge. Similar but both very mesmerizing. Check out the perfect gap in between seats when it goes through the barrel roll.

Tons more angles here 🎥:
Plopsaland De Panne’s new MACK is now testing. The multi-launch Xtreme Spinner roller coaster has some elements that are going to be pretty wild.

MATUGANI (Previously Kanonen @ Liseberg, Sweden) is now testing at the new Lost Island Theme Park in Waterloo, Iowa!
The Intamin Hydraulic Launch Coaster did not open last season as hoped.
Hopefully a sign that it’s time for this thing to go.

Queue missing scares. No outdoor section explaining the ride.
The video tunnel is bad without 3D because everything is flat around you, so focal points are gone.
Time for a Jurassic World ride & bring back the archway.
Medusa is officially back at Six Flags Great Adventure with a Gold Rush-era backstory.
Single Rider Lines will also be added to Jersey Devil Coaster, El Toro, Nitro and the re-themed Medusa
@SFGrAdventure
Starting Thursday @ 4:00PM to YouTube!

I'm not a pro but I feel like basic design rules were missed. Odd to have it center justified on a diagonal wall. And takes up the entire top to bottom. Tiniest changes and it just looks better imo:
Cedar Point today 😱. So far my wheel seat ride was actually smoother than the non-wheel row. You can definitely feel the shaking but no major jackhammering. At 120 it’s good.
The ride is really great! Nice spike and the top hat is better now too.
The newly announced How To Train Your Dragon "Hiccup's Wing Gliders," roller coaster is in the testing phase over at Epic Universe Orlando, the new Orlando theme park opening 2025.
VIDEO:
COTA Land, at the Circuit of the Americas track near Austin, TX is building a Vekoma Tilt Coaster. "Circuit Breaker."
"...the first of its kind in America... It’s just the most neat experience to be dangling facing downward waiting for it to drop" -
Go check out a No Limits POV of the most thrilling roller coasters coming to Universal's EPIC UNIVERSE!
The new "Starfall Racers" is 133 feet tall, 62mph, and has a combined track length of 10,000 feet!
