  1. It could also be an environmental measure, however I find the app maps to be inconvenient because then you have to budget cell phone battery; also you have to stow your phone away periodically before rides. A possible solution would be to have the park maps visible on picture boards around the park, and also sell the souvenir posters in the gift shop as others have suggested. The days of the mass printed pamphlets are no longer, I believe.
  2. That would be awesome. I never knew about the lost dip until reading about it here on GAH. Reminds me of that indoor drop on Splash Mountain in WDW
  3. I wonder how the queue and entrance plaza is going to look for the new coaster. Really hoping this path stays open, seemed like it could be fenced off from the rendering:
  4. I find it very interesting that it says the attraction is in Movietown and not Metropolis. Looking forward to seeing some official renderings to get more information.
  5. If it is a Super Boomerang, what do you guys think the position will be in Metropolis? They said "What's missing?" in one of the first teasers, would it be clearly visible from that vantage point? Seems it could run parallel to the entrance walkways without interfering with them
  6. Abyssus was built in 2021 and costed 11,000,000 €, I'd assume the manufacturing plant being in The Netherlands has some effect on pricing for American parks interested in Vekoma. I still stand by my original point that this is an ominous sign for future additions if considered a "splurge"
  7. Definitely, that should have been the final teaser and the 436 could have been omitted (as the defining number with the rest being ambiguous). Does anyone know the cost of the Super Boomerang? Lech Coaster costed €12M (roughly $13M) in 2017, but also features twice the track length of this. My ballpark guess would be $15M, so I'm not understanding how this was addressed as a huge increase in Capex. Perhaps the entire GADV allocated budget was supposed to be for renovations/TLC and then this was thrown in there as an added "gift"? Ironically it'll be the best part of the new season.
  8. Fiesta Texas really missed the mark on their teasers for 2024, and honestly this campaign hasn't been great either (but it's justifiable considering the whole park is being renovated). The giveaway of the ride stats happened far too early.. Jersey Devil had an awesome teaser campaign that was actually engaging and interesting
  9. Great theme for a multi-launch ride, it would look very nice with a yellow/red color scheme.
  10. It's time for a fun fact! The Vekoma Super Boomerang first inversion is listed as 30 m (98.4 ft). This makes the stall taller than the dive loop on Medusa (96 ft), the first drop on Batman (84.5 ft) and the pretzel loop on Superman (78 ft). It's going to be a large attraction, albeit on small footprint
