>Last Thread: >>2739376>2025 edition>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?Absolutely! Disney discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.Thread Tip Pro: Go to Epic Universe and Six Flags Qiddiya this yearPark Crowd Tracker:>https://queue-times.com/en-US/parksRoller Coaster Database:>https://rcdb.com/Amusement Park News Sites:>https://www.themeparkinsider.com/>https://www.screamscape.com/>https://www.coaster101.com/Disney Park News:>https://www.wdwnt.com/>https://www.wdwmagic.com/>https://www.allears.net>https://www.mousesteps.com
What are the must-see European parks?
>>2747684EftelingEuropaparkDisneyland ParisPhantasialand
>>2747690>>2747684Also, Alton Towers and Thorpe Park.
So where is this top secret 1000ft coaster that I keep seeing memed being built?
has anyone been on Formula Rossa? do the goggles take away from the fact you're going 150 mph?
Can't wait for falcons flight to be functional for a few months and then get murdered by the desert sands
>>2747793Yes I have. No they do not.
>>2747821This ride's lifespan will 100% correlate with how long the Saudi royals give enough of a damn about the park to invest 0.000000000000001% of their oil money pile into it.
In honor of RRR closing heres a group I saw that were stuck for two hours in 90° heat
>>2747880shit shite cock-it will not be missed
>>2747880I genuinely liked this ride, but that video looks like pure torture. Still I'm glad I got a good night ride at last year's HHN.
>>2747884Sandstorm night rides are one of the greatest things at universal overall... I try to do it every time I'm there, a few times a week.Hoping to get 100 more rides this year before its gone.
>>2747921For me, when they removed Sabotage from the list, that took it down a few points.
Universal England can't come fast enough
>>2748100God I hope it happens
monsters unleashed kuka ride seats don't have view-blocking walls like the harry potter ones do
>>2748194Does that mean this ride doesn't have those segments where you have to watch a hemispherical screen?
>>2748211it will have a screen wall like at the start and end of harry potter, but no domes
>>2748211>>2748220They've said in a lot of the previews that they're adding much more practical stuff, with animatronics and pyro. The best bits in Forbidden Journey are the dementors and whomping willow.
>>2748286pyrotechnics on rides is always kino
>>2748289Jaws at night was amazing for this reason
>>2748194Just noticed they've added larger person seats. Wonder if that'll lower the amount of walk of shames.For some reason when I last went on it, they decided that they would not press down on harness at all to get the required clicks. Resulted in a shitload of people having to get off, even just people who are broad/muscular
>>2748302About time. Disgraceful how theme parks only cater to people with anorexia. Theme park staff love humiliating people, and it has to stop. I paid good money for these rides, and have the right to go on them, regardless of your prejudices.
>>2748391Some lapbars are sketchy as fuck for people who are especially skinny. Nothing like feeling you slip up through the bar during airtime
>>2748391Oh hi Gorlock
Who was in the wrong here?https://youtu.be/GWKWSjG5aQs?t=47
>>2748391You're trolling but you reminded me of an experience i had on Hagrid's that pissed me the fuck off>Doing a single rider day at universal >Single rider queue on Hagrid's is closed>Haven't been on it yet and the park is gonna close soon>say fuck it and do standard queue with a 90 minute wait>end up paired with a woman's morbidly obese son >I mean this nigga the size of the Hagrid animatronic and he's like 17>there's no way in fucking hell this kid is getting on the ride and it's obvious>I finally get front row after 10 or so failed previous attempts>he takes motorcycle >whatever>he cannot pull he lapbar down over his massive gut>duh.exe>they halt the loading platform and pull me and him off>the TM asks me to follow him>Ok>train leaves with no one front row >I walk with the TM and they bring me and fat ass over to the testing vehicle so they can explain reality to him>I ask the TM where I need to go>TM says "Oh you're not with him?">I am a completely different skin color to this nigga>They apologize and put me back on the train>back row I hate fat people like you wouldn't fucking believe
>>2748467There's a nonzero chance he was the guy who fell out of the Icon Park drop tower
>this kills the bong thoosie
>>2748460Obviously Gaston blowing that annoying fucking Karen bitch Disney adult out the fuck out. So fucking zased.
>>2748460https://youtu.be/LcPZa0izEBo?si=kokRHYIqRVNmAkCx&t=165>ywn be Gaston and be groped day in and day out by voluptuous BBWWhy live?
>>2748725It's kinda fucked up that they need to do it but it's good that Disney have obviously told all the Gaston actors not to take being groped up endlessly in front of crowds. Heard bad things about the Tarzan and Aladdin roles in the past. In the days when you could have wandering characters that didn't have to set up queues, Winnie the Pooh used to get mobbed by 40-somethings.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmkpPleXBSM
>>2748730Why Gaston kinda
>>2748735It's a mystery
>>2748730I work at a haunted house seasonally, and the amount of groping that happens fucking absurd. I don't know what causes people to behave differently towards actors than any other stranger. I guess they think you'll play along since you can't break character and clock them in the face without risking your job. It's a real pain in the ass.
>>2747880Wtf
>>2748753You won't do shit
>>2747627
>>2748753Is this groping from men or women? Your answer may determine my future employment
>>2748783Both, and the women who do it aren't exactly prime specimens. If you're into obese sheboons, I think you'll find yourself to be a happy man.
has it burned down yet
>>2748818Not yet. The winds fucked up the trees near the Back to the Future set on the backlot though.
>>2748818No but there is an active fire ~3 miles away
>>2748818Cant wait for this to take out earthquake so they can build screen based earthquake as a replacement. Then US Florida can get screen based earthquake with a much cooler queue. Time is a flat circle.
>>2749020Wait, Cali still has Earthquake?
>>2747880I always tried to do the 'secret song' code, but it never worked for me/my touchscreen was fucked up.
>>2748220How the heck does that route you toward the gift shop after unload? There's no obvious route.
>>2749124Guessing two levels
