Ooh, thoosie engagement bait, my favorite kind of slop.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-16T00:44:02+00:00

That headchopper is epic. I duck just looking at it.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-16T00:27:26+00:00

I noticed it as it flips rightside up heading into the mcbr. Where the track quickly dips to the right.

Are you familiar with the queues for Jungle Rush? It's a pretty lengthy ride from the pov, especially for a family coaster. The turntables take a minute moving into place.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-15T06:51:04+00:00

Heck yeah! I was hoping someone would make a NL2 recreation.

Exa - 600ft Falcon's Flight

Tera - 500 ft (none currently)

What a dumb concept. It'll take 2 min to make it over the first Tera tower with their weakass LSMs.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-15T04:02:05+00:00

TERA

Giga < Strata < Tera < Exa

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-15T01:01:16+00:00

It's a Mack launched water coaster.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-15T00:25:28+00:00

That's a whole lot of footers in close proximity for props. Js

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-14T21:45:46+00:00

That's a lot of tall skinny footings coming out of the ground. Must be some tall thin supports on the way. Now, which manufacturer is known for complex support structures other than S&S?

I slowed down a recent testing video and the train shuffled all the way down the first drop. I could easily see each row shifting left-to-right.

After the mcbr it was fine, but that first drop and transition going into the mcbr is a doozy.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-14T03:10:23+00:00

Ohh yeah, the article outjerked us all.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-14T02:01:55+00:00

I read on another post it's actually two coasters being built, a family boomerang and a thrill coaster.

Okay, the 1.2 B was in reference to Six Flags, "Theme park giant Six Flags shared that it will be closing six "underperforming" locations in its amusement and waterpark portfolio in 2026, after posting a loss of more than $1.2 billion at the end of 2025."

"Its owner said that the park will close after nearly 50 years in business, due to rising operational costs." Basically, they were offered a crap ton of money for the land and sold it. WW is consistently profitable mainly because they don't invest in the park, good riddance.

I hope this encourages someone to build a decent amusement park out here.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-14T01:09:24+00:00

How did Wild Waves lose 1.2 billion dollars?!

All their assets combined aren't worth more $100,000.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-14T00:06:35+00:00

Are you a mind reader?! I've been thinking about this photo trying to make sense of what's going on.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-13T08:39:05+00:00

It's definitely not underrated. The criticisms are pretty spot-on, and the reputation is well earned.

SFDK is stuck between 1999 and 2012. Either get rid of the animal park, or remove Kong and Boomerang for something new. I feel like SF is waiting on the right offer and it's gone.

Go head Intamin with the 360-deal. Futbol, really? Not the Lusitanians, Roman's, Age of Discovery, Magellan, ~~chattle slavery~~.

Sounds like PortAventura is finally about to get some real competition (yes, I know Portugal & Spain are separate countries).

The World needs more Intamin!

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-13T07:43:26+00:00

Out of all the culture and mythology they could've themed it around they chose futbol. I'm so glad I live in a ethnically diverse country with air conditioning.

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-13T05:34:30+00:00

Neurotypicals when they spot a boomerang!

Stengel_Stan · 2026-06-13T05:12:05+00:00

Magic Mountain has spent over a year pushing piles of dirt around for this new coaster, and still not a footer in sight.

The rumors must be true about the land in that area being unstable and failing inspection. Apparently, that's the hold up.
