Lost Island Theme Park has announced Fire Runner, a new RMC Raptor coming to the park in 2025!
Featuring the standard smaller layout, this intense thrill coaster flips riders upsidedown 3 times, has a top speed of 52mph, and has 1950ft of track!
We think this is a fantastic fit for the park and cannot wait to see how it looks next year!
Are you excited for Lost Island's first major investment after its opening in 2022?

Nemesis Reborn at Alton Towers is a fantastic renovation of the beloved classic - Nemesis! Featuring a retracked layout, new colors, more theming, and a rerouted queue, the new ride looks fresh & new while still having the intense bite of the old one.
We had an absolute blast on this ride, and the first 3 elements is one of the best sequences on a multi-looper ever! Nemesis Reborn easily claimed a spot as one of our favorite inverted coasters ever!
Have you been on Nemesis or Nemesis Reborn? What do you think of it?

A dragon has started flying around Universal's Epic Universe! It is clear that the dragon in question will have functioning wings, and will be a spectacle to see when in the How to Train a Drragon section of the park! Although you are not able to see much, this first glimpse shows us that Universal is really pushing the envelope for theme park entertainment!

Top Thrill 2 at Cedar Point has started testing for a third time! The world's tallest and fastest triple launch coaster has been closed since mid May of this season due to a variety of unconfirmed reasons. The park is expected to give a small update about the ride at an IAAPA event on July 31st, but it is still unknown if the ride will be opening again this season. Regardless, we are super excited to see the ride one more step closer to reopening!
Do you think Top Thrill 2 will reopen this season? Or do you think it will not open until 2025?

Swarm at Thorpe Park is one of the original few B&M Wing Coasters, and we absolutely loved it! The ride was more intense than we expected it to be, and we found the pacing to be particularly good for a Wing Coaster. The roll over the long way of the station had great presentation and was a standout part of the ride!
What is your favorite B&M Wing Coaster?

The first glimpse of official gameplay will be on July 31st, and we cannot wait to see what is in store! Will you be playing Planet Coaster 2 when it is released?
Voltron Nevera at Europa Park blew us away! This Mack Rides Stryker Coaster has one of our favorite layouts ever, with multiple unique inversions and some killer airtime! The beyond vertical launch and first two inversions were so cool to experience, and really start the ride off with a bang! Our favorite parts of the ride were probably the hill after the stall & the wave turn, both providing some incredibly strong ejector. Combine it all together, and this ride easily cemented itself in my top 10!
What was your most recent addition to your Top 10?
Chaos erupts at Six Flags Over Texas after Roaring Rapids rafts jam near the end of the ride. One raft in particular gets wedged into a position where the raft is taking in water, causing riders to panic and jump in to the stream. Fortunately it seems that nobody was injured, but things could've ended much worse.
Now I've never been trained on a Rapids Ride before, so I may be completely wrong here, but I do not thinking jumping off was the correct solution, nor do I think the crew seemed adequately prepared to handle the situation. The lady showing up with the life rings after everyone is out of the water already?? Let's be a little serious here... Either way, at the end of the day, it is a relief to see everyone emerged unharmed.

Lunapark Malta, located 20 minutes outside of Valleta, has some of the craziest flat rides we have ever been on! The star of the show is their Pirate Ship, with "Never in America" cages at each end of the ship! With no restraint other than your own grip, and the steel cage around you, you're able to jump around, bounce off the sides, and get some of the craziest airtime (in a literal sense) ever!
Although the full fair isn't huge, their rides really do pack a punch! Revolution, their top spin, ran an intense cycle that flipped us 43 times! (Yes, we counted!) Each ride we rode impressed us and we had an absolute blast. There was an unexpected +1 with a Wacky Worm showing up this year, making the night even better.
If you ever find yourself in Malta during the fairs runtime, it is a must-do!
Would you ride in the Pirate Ship cage?
Still so obsessed with the camels on the lOOse at Cedar Point 😂😂
Camels on the Loose!
The camels at Cedar Point got loose 😂 everything was quickly solved and nobody nor the camels were harmed!
Six Flags Great Escape has officially opened Bobcat, the park's new Gravity Group Family Wooden Coaster! This cute coaster stands 55ft (16.8m) tall, goes 40mph (64kph) and has multiple sharp airtime hills! This is the first coaster the park has added in many years, and we think it's a great fit for them!
Have you been on a tiny Gravity Group before?

Top Thrill 2 at Cedar Point has started testing again! The ride has been closed for just about 2 and a half weeks due to an undisclosed mechanical issue. Although the issue was not confirmed, photos from the new Ryan the Ride Mechanic video show the train equipped with new, reinforced wheel carriers. Although we still don't know when the ride will reopen, it's nice to see the ride start running again!

Minifigure Speedway, located at Legoland Windsor, has recently opened to the public! This Zierer family boomerang coaster has two sides that race & duel eachother throughout the ride!
The ride features some surprisingly intense turns, and we are super impressed at the final product! What park would you like to build another one of these family boomerangs?
