I'd love to see a show moved back into there and HSD2 replaced with a new ride.

Jungle Rush Coaster
Quite surprised that the Tower of Terror building and Billabong are not going. I wonder if any of the Murrisippi is being reclaimed near the Vintage Cars (grey line is the paths by the looks of it), apart from Jungle Rush passing over it at one point. Maybe they will build a boardwalk over the water?

I have a memory of being near Central Station and seeing a Cougar scratching and spraying on a tree. The two handlers were keeping it on a solid chain, but it was pretty docile, happy to wander and spray. My memory was of a Mountain Lion, but it's probably the Cougar I'm thinking of. Google says they're in the same family, so easy to mix up.

Walt Disney Studios - 18/19th of July 2023
My November '22 trip report mentioned this Good to see you had a good time - I quite enjoyed Ratatouille, but haven't done any of the 'better' trackless darkies than this. The scenes under the trolley, the oven and the mop were standouts for me, bringing in smells worked well too.. I regret not waiting out the line for Crush's Coaster based on your description.

Go back a page on this thread, one's still on the track. The monorail hasn't run since the Pandemic stated I believe.

Until I remembered this was in the USA, I thought - wow, 8 months late! :p

Sea World Monorail removed from website and park map
Welcome @Oliver - I suspect that the Monorails here would need significant maintenance, possibly rebuilds, to be rated for use again her - let alone whatever safety standards are in place in Germany.

Scary rides
The curious part of the mechanism talk just above, was the East side of GD having that partial drop before the actual release. Back on the original topic, the only thing I get apprehensive about on big rides is how nauseous it would make me feel. My first time on DCR was during soft opening, and I did it backwards. Was more thrilling than scary when deciding to ride. Knowing the safety standards and stats doesn't give me any fear of a malfunction (the odds are so very small), so I only "fear" my physical reaction to the ride. Last time I did ST I knew I'd not be able to do an immediate re-ride - so did SV in between. If I was peer pressured into a re-ride, I'd have fear of having to make maintenance come to the exit with a mop and bucket! :p I'd fear carnival rides like Extreme Speed 2, No Limit and XXXL for this reason more than safety.

Found the Eureka Mine Train video, I can't believe it.
Logged into Parkz fine using a (Sim Corner) Spanish sim card while lining up for rides at Disneyland Paris. As long as you know your login credentials I believe you'll be fine. Good luck with the video transfer. If you do upload it, definitely watermark it because there will be bad actors wanting to re-host it themselves.

The Flash: Speed Force coming to Movie World
No attraction will ever be added closer to Kopps Rd for two reasons - proximity to residences, and that whole area is a major flood point. Back on the Flash topic, interesting theme for something that's not too fast in reality. Is there a reason they won't use the Titans? Licensing? Could theme it to Raven, Nightwing or Beast Boy.

Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point "Closing"
Just a metric conversion here, the spike @Slick you mention is 500ft, 152m, which is just over 30m higher than the Dreamworld Tower. TTD is only 128m / 420 ft - are they raising the height of the hump? 😲
