As someone who’s traveled park to park for over a decade now, I’m constantly impressed how parks adapt to the ever changing market, but I’m not impressed by most European coasters. Do most of them have amazing theming? Absolutely, however that’s where most of the positives end. It’s undeniable that the US has the greatest collection of coasters on planet earth, and it seems like most other countries agree, which is why they often spend more on marketing/atmosphere then an impressive layout. So I ask every country outside of the US: How long do you all plan to excuse mediocre layouts? Rol ..read more

Vekoma uses a track with other connections to the spine for their Family launch coasters like Storm or Big Bear Mountain as opposed to their thrill launch coasters like Abyssus or Formula. See the pictures I added. Anyone know why? submitted by /u/uhhjaydenn [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Okay so I've been planning on making a gift for my crush (a customized magnet/ magnet with a canvas) and he has a big like for rollercoasters so I wanted to use that for the gift. Now, I wanted to paint one of his favorite coasters, cause I managed to find out one of them. Problem is, I don't remember the name of the coaster. All I remember is its in the Netherlands, had no flashy colors, and I'm 80% sure it had an English name. Please help me Reddit you are my last resort. (This is low-key a risky move since I know my crush is on this subreddit but I'm willing to risk it) submitted by /u/La ..read more

This hypothetical question came up while chatting with my husband, and I couldn't think of an answer.

Please forgive my ignorance, I've just always wondered. I have never been on X2, and definitely not Eejanaika lol. Only done the S&S free spins at various SF parks, and those rides kind of suck honestly. They are a very similar concept to rides like X2 with two seats on the outside wing and the seats being able to flip. Why is one hated universally while the other is loved? submitted by /u/texaslonghorn96 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So there are to my knowledge four official coasters themed to Marvel Comics, and I want to find out what’s the common consensus on which one is the best ride. I have only ridden Hulk and Flight Force’s derivative Rock n’ Roller Coaster, so my jurisdiction ends with me saying Hulk solos RnRC.

What parks have two coasters that are basically the same. Like it makes you wonder why they put in the second coaster when it’s so similar to its counterpart. submitted by /u/Pop_Bottle [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
