1.) It's not a vendetta it's an opinion
2.) I copied the information from the report
3.) I know it's a theme park and didn't suggest it wasn't

I was merely bringing to light yet another accident :roll:

sorry got the wrong end of the stick, I get very protective of my fairgrounds lol

It is shocking the amount of accidents or near accidents that seem to be coming to light atm in both Fairs and Themeparks. I also get the feeling this may just spell the end to a company, it was their first coaster and has only been open afew months :s not good!

At least it looks like everyone will make a full recovery, could of been soooo much worse.

I know :P I'm not :lol:

This will surely not help their reputation and may close them down before they have even started.

Normally I wouldn't take too much of an interest in a flat ride being added to a park, but this one is slightly more unusual and caught my eye so thought it worth posting.

This April Tivoli Gardens will be opening a new, world's first, Huss Condor called Fatamorgana in their Oriental Zone. The ride will be the first of its type to feature two different types of Gondola - an oriental themed flying animal gondola, and an outward facing single seat gyro frame. There will be four gondolas in total - two of each type. The animal themed gondola will six, two seater carriages themed to flying lions and oryx. The gyro frames will seat 14 guests and offer the more thrilling option for guests.

Further information about the ride can be found in this article

Hmm looks interesting - Normal Huss condors are quite good but this variation is a novel idea :)

Perhaps having the outward facing seats will make it more exciting :)

This is rather unique. It looks like it could be both nauseating and fun at the same time, well, from my point of of view anyway.

Exactly my thoughts Dom! I like the fact there's two different ride options.

Tivoli is next to jump on the VR bandwagon with the conversion of B&M floorless coaster Daemonen.

Image

The story line is inspired by Chinese mythology, with riders being taken through a Chinese firework factory before being transported into a new world filled with dragons, demons and lions.

The experience will be optional and cost an extra 25 Danish krones (approximately £2.88) to be experienced.

You can get a beer (might as well buy a few more at the price it is there) and a police car home cheaper than that in Copenhagen :lol I'm not kidding either :lol
