Hard Rock Hotel (Universal Orlando) - Loved the theming and the rooms were good. Location is perfect with a short walk to the parks and unlimited fast track included with the rooms. The pool area is also really good. Best hotel at Universal property. Cabana Bay (Universal Orlando) - Loved it...

Agreed after reading that he had fainted during the ride I thought well the fainting surely isn't just a coincidence. That must have somehow contributed to him falling out. But then there's the ORP with the restraint open.. Which means the only way the fainting will have contributed was that...

What the hell was that all about. He was knowledgeable about the restraint mechanism and was a good enough interview. Then right at the end makes that wild statement about being able to push the restraint open. Bizarre..

Looks like he was an enthusiast too. https://x.com/coasterwolf0108/status/2110080166349127765?s=46

Surely it wouldn’t be able to dispatch without the restraint being at the required level. The ride op can’t override that. Could be down to poor maintenance or using third party replacement parts or something like that but just shouldn’t happen at a major park operator like Six Flags.

This is terrible. Sounds like restraint failure as people reporting seeing the restraint open as it pulled back into the station. Not sure how that is even possible.

The article explained it well but annoyingly it is now behind a paywall, originally it wasn't. From what I remember from reading it, basically Merlin went private at the wrong time just before Covid hit, loading the company up with huge high interest debts. They were profitable before this...

Nothing new but this Telegraph article is interesting. Merlin continues to make huge losses and is struggling under massive debts. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/0aa774aae6e21ccc Not sure how they can get out of the trouble without selling some assets off.

Regarding the Wipeout incident - I am assuming the engineer made a mistake releasing the train thinking it would make it back to the station however it hadn't climbed high enough on that second lift in order to make it through the Cobra roll? So they should have just evacuated people off the...

That CNN article is damning. Reads like a Netflix documentary script. Shame to see it close as it's an iconic rollercoaster but so was Kingda Ka and that never killed anyone.

Empty train as well which is strange, wonder if they were testing it and they rolled it back on purpose.

I like how Superman was already on the side of the building, wonder if that was intentional with the future plans in mind.

Hyperia has got a new sponsorship. Yes this is real [emoji23] https://x.com/thorpeparkmania/status/2087882281964769590?s=46

Jaws ride confirmed [emoji23]

The legend lives on.. Surely this is going to be a retrack?

Don't give Merlin any new record ideas 😂

The media silence on this seems strange? I mean it’s a good thing as normally the media can blow incidents way out of proportion, Hyperia for example has had a routine lift hill evacuation and it has made the news, this has gone completely under the radar. Still not complaining about it, just...

Rear car is literally side ways [emoji23]

Not sure where this video was taken but appears to be a first short official teaser video https://x.com/parcsloisirsmag/status/2080035186767483316?s=46
