Another interesting thing to note, I believe the concept art shows this coaster being right at the entrance, to your right as you pass the gift shop.

Efteling have just posted this to their TikTok and other social media... The concept art from the video: Lunar/fantasy themed Vekoma Thrill Glider, possibly?

I'll also miss walking through it and hearing the music, filling the freestyle cup and soaking in the vibes :(

Suddenly the concept of a new Universal theme park is a little less exciting...

I get you, but as I said, the crowd levels themselves weren't an issue at all. I expect theme parks to be busy, I've visited Europa Park on a public holiday and it was heaving but I still had a great time. The issue (in my opinion) is the business model itself.

Not news related but wanted to rant. Visited Thorpe Park today for the first time in 2 years. Not great. Park was fairly busy however queue times would have been manageable if Fastrack wasn't so grossly oversold. On Hyperia they were letting on mostly fastrack users whilst the main queue sat at...

This sounds like an awful day out. Proof that money can't buy taste it seems... Seems like something Bible-belt Americans would love and not something the Dutch would but I could be wrong.

I doubt it, it's sort of the main selling point for the ride, it even has drift in the name! It's a prototype, of course it'll have teething issues at first. Intamin will figure it out and all will be fine.

Could be mistaken, but I don't think it's the same spine.The spines on Tron and this are far chonkier.

I suppose Edge is also on its way out in the near future/coming years? Maybe if that parcel of land at the back of the water coaster aren't being used for queue/maintenance, they could pair it with the land that edge sits on? I imagine though that because the overnight accommodation is right...

Yeah I agree, not his biggest fan. He comes across as extremely arrogant and isn't the visionary he thinks he is, the tweets really cemented that for me. I'd be very surprised it he did move to Universal. I actually think my excitement levels for that park would drop significantly if he was...

I do feel bad for people from an enthusiast point of view, must suck getting excited to ride something only for it not to happen. I do struggle to have toooo much sympathy in this case if I'm honest. I know it's a record breaking coaster but you do have to ignore a lot of human rights violations...

Rode Pheonix Rising at BGT last year and it was awful. Penguin Trek was the same. I agree with others who say B&M are just a bit poo now. Vekoma can make these family coasters at a far better quality. Seaworld must be getting a good bulk deal on these, surely?

I imagine a big part of the decision was to appease fans of the old Muppetvision attraction and its surrounding area. I believe it was the last project Jim Henson ever worked on and a lot of fans are quite protective over it. A lot of people thought this new Monsters Inc area would replace the...

I think they only have LSMs at the top of the top hat, but maybe someone else can weigh in! Sad that you felt something though!
