    It sounds like they learnt their operations from playing Planet Coaster, where everyone has to be off the platform before the air gates open, so frustrating for the operations on my 800ft Giovanola

      One of the worst parts of PC. Especially when the exit is so far away from the riders. Why can’t it be when they get off the ride? Saves time. Even RCT3 isn’t that bad I think.

    Before I forget. A torch is the British word for a Flashlight. I can speak from my own recent trip to the UAE that a ton and I mean a ton of the tourism to there is from the UK. Also a large chunk from other commonwealth countries like India and Australia.

    I just love how you showed that this park had so much more than roller coaster or rides! You shows that you need to spend two days here just to get the full experience! I’ve always loved the Seaworld but this made me have an other appreciation for this company! Love the vlogs and the series! Cant wait for day 2 of Ferrari world!

    Your issue with operational efficiency here reminds me of Japan. Their obsession with safety briefings and ensuring no loose articles, along with other very regimented “no exceptions” ops, really detracted from the ride experience.

    Something similar happened to me on Steel Vengeance last time i rode as far as the grouper situation. At least in 2021 when the new lockers were installed they would pulse people down the hallway towards where the split for the lockers and metal detectors are. The grouper there was sending only a few people at a time so trains were going out more than half empty and the line was close to 3 hours. My mom and i were even asked by the ride ops in the station if the queue was just empty or what because they didn't know what was going on.

    How about adding an aspect of journalism to your videos and asking the park for a statement about those operations? Maybe also as a separate video where you talk about answers of parks to the things you noticed that weren't so great? I'm sure they have press contacts you could direct your questions to.

    Six Flags and Busch Gardens, Even with spieling to guests and depending on the park, still have horrible operations. I still cant believe the times I see when Iron Gwazi is loaded since day one of operation and one train ops on busy days is just CRAZY to me. SFOG for some reason think this is ok when its not. I swear every park needs to learn Universal and Disney with Operations are supposed to be done. Actually CP and Kings Island do a very good job too, but not like in their heydays in the 90s and 2000s.

    You'd think the layouts would be designed for the centre of mass of the train and in theory you should be able to get the optimal airtime duration in the middle. Although I've never found one where that's the case

    My theory is that they run intentionally slow because there isn’t that many people in line and they don’t want people to ‘reride’ too much.. those 4 rides on manta would have been like 8-10 if they were running efficiently.

      with the exception of DC at Warner Bros or Ferrari land it doesn't offer something unique that draws European, Asian and US tourists away from Disney, Universal, Phantasialand,... Definitely though Dubai and Abu Dhabi is on my bucket list, but besides the fastest rollercoaster in the world at the Ferrari park it lacks world-class attractions on the level of Disney and Universal

      These Parks are huge but many don't receive the attendance that would justify their investment. Everyone got a little too happy with investments and now there's too many fish in a too little pond. These parks do also generally cost a lot, almost 100 USD in many cases, which is at least twice what you would pay for more well rounded and complete theme parks elsewhere, especially in Europe.
      I myself know I had to cut my dubai visit down to just 2 parks to visit and I ended up going to Motiongate and Atlantis. And even then Motiongate felt quite incomplete imo and not really deserving the price tag

    I wonder if a B&M mini hyper and Intamin gyro swing would be enough of a lineup to draw crowds like 10,000 or more. The secret base may or not be near the Great Lakes. The mini hyper starts like Rougarou. 145, 137, 167, 157 no trim brake steeper drop. I can neither confirm nor deny that the secret base is near the Great Lakes. Speed hill, turnaround, speed hill, camelback, twister section. The location of the secret base is not information I am privy to. How about that Mantis...color scheme
