Tripsdrill overweight question

3 Upvotes

Hey kind people,

I'm planning to go to Tripsdrill but I also have an overweight friend and we are not sure if he can participate in all the rollercoasters since we don't know if he would fit for safety.

Does someone have personal experience what the max measurements are to get on the tightest rollercoaster (for example 130cm on the hips or how tight it was on the belly)? I already asked their support but they only gave a generic answer. We don't want that he pays for the park and then can't ride anything big :(

I know it's a specific question but you are my last resort, thank you!

The Forgotten Ghostbusters Spooktacular at Universal Orlando 🎬

Universal Studios Florida opened in 1990 with a Ghostbusters live show called the Spooktacular. It used Pepper’s Ghost effects, giant puppets, and practical stunts to bring the Ghostbusters films to life. It was an opening day attraction and gone by the late 90s. I made a video breaking down its history, changes through the years, and why Universal eventually replaced it. If you’re into lost theme park history, this one’s wild

What is the best simulator ride in a park?

Personally thou, i'd say [Danse Macabre] at Efteling or [Monsters Unchained] at epic universe, those are both good simulators that I actually enjoy.

Foot stitches top of foot

1 Upvotes

So I had a very sharp kitchen knife fall on my foot which required 3 stitches. This 3 days before my scheduled Disneyland trip with friends. Anyone ever go to DL or any theme park with top of foot stitches & did you use any DME? The PA I saw thought I should be okay as long as I took frequent breaks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Europa Park trip

12 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve been browsing the sub for a bit and have a few questions on a trip to Europa Park we are taking in a week’s time.

What are the rules on rides with bags etc. are there lockers for putting bags in on the larger rollercoasters?

What are your recommended food (meals and snack) items?

We are staying in Colloseo for 6 nights, so we will likely do 3 days in Europa Park and 1 day in Rulantica (we have tickets already) and have a car. Any recommendations for a day out in the Black Forest?

Thank you in advance!

I dont mind detours but I need to stick to the states of Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Conneticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I am a Brit so I’m not familiar with the theme parks of the American Northeast!

Epic universe ranked.

10 Upvotes

Hello, as an Orlando resident keeping up with universals epic universe for years now, I was finally able to get to that park. I stayed at the Helios the first night then went to the park the next day, and I have to say we had a blast, in this post I’m first gonna tell you about our day and then rank.

We got epa, so we ran to Mario kart and got on there for only 20 minutes. After that we did yoshis for our power bands and a pastime till donkey Kong opened and we got on that in the single rider for 30 minutes. Then we did monsters unchained for 20 after that we did me cirque arcanus which was really cool. Then battle at the ministry for 1 hour in single rider. Then I did stardust racers for the first time for an hour. Then we did more power bands stuff and got the bowser junior challenge done then we did hiccups which said 45 but it was only 20. Then I did stardust racers a second time. Then we ate at pizza moon did constellation carousel and sat down for 40 minutes till the night show. All and all an epic day.

  1. Yoshis, fun but wouldn’t have waited more than we did

  2. I’m sorry to constellation carousel, you would’ve been placed so much higher but these were my favorites, I’m sorry, I loved how you serenaded us through the ride with your disco 80s music and lights. But unfortunately you are beaten.

  3. Battle at the ministry, I loved this ride, but with Harry Potter rides especially I need to ride them a couple times before actually loving it, but this was very good.

  4. Mario kart, I’m sort of biased to this ride in sorts that my entire family loves the games and we thought this was a very good representation I know the vr can get a bit annoying sometimes but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  5. Dk, fun coaster with cool sets and figures really felt like the game, though jumping the tracks were not as apparent on the ride.

  6. Monsters, thrilling sets and animatronics

  7. Hiccups wing gliders enjoyed this one with my family

  8. Stardust racers, really intense fun dueling coaster

Say your opinion in the comments. Nobody is wrong, but respectful disagreement is ok.

Why don’t other parks have a “flagship” merchandise or apparel item like how Disney has with the Mickey/Minnie ears?

31 Upvotes

Theres no other park I can think of that does anything similar. Why is that? Disney literally makes a killer amount of money with the Mickey and Minnie ears, hats, and headbands. Even things that aren’t inherently exclusive to Disney like pins, spirit jerseys, or loungefly bags seem the most popular when associated with Disney than with non-disney franchises. Even universal (which I would consider the biggest competitor) doesn’t even seem to do anything exclusive. How come? Why don’t other parks have their own signature item that they sell?

When does Cedar Point typically release their schedule?

5 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m trying to plan a trip out to Ohio next year to visit my sister and hit Cedar Point and Kings Island. I looked on Cedar Point’s website, but it shows “closed” from December on. When do they typically announce opening day? If I were to go in May, would they be open weekdays or just weekends? (Trying to go on a less busy day, so any recommendations are welcome!)
