In the northern hemisphere the hottest theme parks’ season is running really fast!
So let’s take a little breath and make some philosophical questions:

Which are the most thrilling rollercoasters worldwide?

We are proud to replay to this question! How? In a funny funny way… comparing them with animals!

How many T-rex dinosours do you need for reach the KingDa-ka’s top? 24! yeah…24!
Do you know that the lenght of Steel Dragon can be covered by 75 whales?
Don’t you think that’s unbelievable that a bird is faster than the KingDa-ka’s trains?

If you’re not interested in that…and you’re a boring person, here you can find the detailed numerical data:

Share and tag all amusement ride!

Few weeks ago we upgraded Parkr! with a new feature.

Now you can share and tag your “amusement pictures and photos”!

We start some months ago allowing users to comment and rate all the theme parks worldwide. Now the real core of the project is born!

You can easily upload your pictures about your favourite amusement parks! (look at  Mirabilandia’s pictures)

Unfortunately you can upload only pictures one by one. But this “limit” will push you to choose the most representative pictures, to compile the form and, most important, you can tag all the rides on your shots! (move your mouse on the tag’s links of El Toro picture)

As soon as possible I will publish on slideshare some mini-guides about this new feature. Stay tuned on Parkr!

After many months of incubation here we are! My little child is born: Parkr! The Amusement Park Reviewer. Many future developments are in schedule but now we have to consolidate the bases. So let’s test and review!
