Sad news from Mexico as Selva Mágica has closed its doors for the final time. The park opened on April 22, 1988 and is home to Bullet, the unique Schwarzkopf shuttle loop coaster, and Titan, a Sansei Yusoki custom coaster.

We're extremely saddened by the news of Dolly Parton's passing. She became such an important part of the theme park industry and we cannot thank her enough for being such an integral part of Dollywood, helping it become one of the best theme parks in the world. We were lucky to be at many of the ride openings and announcements she attended. She will be dearly missed and forever remembered.

A one-of-a-kind Togo ultra twister and the only remaining Meisho shuttle loop, both set in a lovely location but having to share it with one of the oldest Vekoma SLCs.

A gorgeously sunny day to ride a rough looper from Senyo Kogyo, and one of Meisho's longer coasters, which is also one of their better rides despite some awful restraints.

The first Rocky Mountain Construction Wild Moose coaster will be opening at Lost Island Themepark in 2027! Forbidden Lair will be a 79 feet (24 m) tall shuttle coaster with a top speed of 38 mph (61 km/h) and features a station fly-through, a "subterranean shimmy" tunnel, and nearly a dozen airtime moments.
