Quick question, but who is to say Zamperla hadn't insured...They might not be taking a loss at all. Hey what if Europa Park had a disaster...Should everyone help out by purchasing a Mack ride? Or is Mont Cascades had a disaster should everyone buy a Proslide? So the profit margin on one ride install makes a meaningful contribution to a whole damaged park?

RWC you lost that little debate. For tha sanity of all any further debate on Skyloops from you will result in a 1 day ban. I'm not joking.

And before RWC gets some opportunity to retort, there are 10 Skyloops registered on RCDB across the world. They're all 46.2 metres tall.

I'm struggling to understand how an amusement park based in melbourne would have any impact or effect on another amusement park thousands of miles away, simply by... as you say... 'modelling themselves after' said park... How does that help Coney Island 'get back on it's feet? Your fixations with insisting that LPM is doing something, only to reveal later that they weren't is becoming really annoying. And why should a park model a ride (if they actually do get a fixed-install) on one in another park thousands of miles away? How many people would make the connection? How many of those would care? Wouldn't it be better to keep the park as unique and individual as possible, so it isn't just a clone of another park that someone might have already been to? Lastly, may I direct you to the dictionary, for terms such as PERMANENT, rather than Perminant. I don't mean to go all grammar nazi on you, but please try putting your posts through a spell-checker first... it makes what you write extremely difficult to read (and believe me - making your posts in anyway easier to read is absolutely necessary.)

Luna Park Coney Island's immediate future is NOT in doubt. You need to get your facts right- YET again!! This was posted on Themepark Review. "Thanks for posting this. I'll be there tomorrow helping out, after doing some local help on Staten Island today. The volunteers are needed to clean up the neighborhood, not the parks. The owners of Luna Park are enticing volunteers with the amusement park wristband for helping out. Luna Park, Scream Zone and The Cyclone have already been cleared by park employees. In fact, The Cyclone just ran a test cycle today." I would also like to point out that the theme to the Tickler, Luna Park's spinning coaster, is in fact NOT really related to Luna Park at all. The face that adorns the cars of the Tickler belongs to George C Tilyou's Steeplechase Park and was its adopted masot. Steeplechase Park closed for good in 1962 and the current owners of Luna Park used the motif as a historical reminder of the fantastic history of Steeplchase Park and the important figure of George C Tilyou in Coney Island's development. It would therefore be inappropriate for LPM to utilise this motif as a theme as it really does not connect in any way with Luna Park Melbourne or even Luna Park Coney Island. Please check your facts before you gob on.

Yes... You are.

Some very unexpected news from IAPPA, Mt Olympus Theme Park in Wisconsin have announced that they are getting the Gravity Group to modify their wooden coaster, Hades, to include new timberliner trains and a brand new WOODEN ZERO G ROLL! http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=64106
