Alright, the next park we visited was Phantasialand! This was the only park on the trip I'd been to before, in 2018. This means that, along with Taron, F.L.Y. was waiting for me as well! Arriving in Germany, we received the customary welcome (icy indifference), arriving into a bustling Cologne...

Alright everyone! Sorry again for the delay, I hope the hold music was to your liking. I'm now back from my trip, so I should be able to update you on Phanta and Energyla/Lege-ndia in a more timely manner. That being said, next up is Walibi Belgium! This meant an early wake up again, just a day...

I can completely understand not liking those kinds of transitions. Again, I can only compare to Untamed, but there were certainly some moments that were pretty extreme. Personally, I quite liked how fierce it was, but I could imagine a lot of people wouldn't. Certainly nothing like I've...

Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay in the report, I haven't been able to find the time to sit down and actually write it! Next up is Walibi Holland! This entailed a day trip consisting of a 4 hour train ride each way, which on the balance of things we concluded was worth it... and we were right...

That's the thing - Untamed's gonna be right up there, as will a lot of others. Let's see if RtH will be my shortest-reigning #1... I tend to prefer function over form ;) Rookie mistake, that. On an extreme spinner, no less. Tut tut.

Hi everyone! Yesterday was the first day of my European trip and we went to Plopsaland! This is the start of a two-week-long coaster trip that I've dubbed "Efan's European Expedition" (pleasing my year 8 English teacher with my use of alliteration). On this trip, we'll hit Plopsaland, every...

But they're nothing alike - some switchbacks and a few dips is nothing like RMC's concept. The only reason it's playing on the wild mouse name is that it keeps the spirit somewhat and that they both fit in the same plot. Not only is the ride experience completely different from a traditional...

Are we sure we wanted the teaser for the ride to be longer than the ride itself? (Obvious joke, sorry) Remember that this is just the beginning of the marketing. We've got a while yet, and I'm sure as time goes on Thorpe will be revealing more details - they're probably just trying to pique...

Given that since starting this thread I've made a spreadsheet of my exploits, I can now confidently answer that my number is 351 - about 100 higher than my estimate earlier in the thread. These include 81 from Speed: No Limits, 84 from The Smiler, 30 from colossus, and 28 from Nemesis. Side...

Sad they couldn't get Tesla on board given the entire point is paying homage to Nikola Tesla! Will it be the Rimac™ Coil?

I'd have to agree with Matt that my #1 would be Icon. Maybe I'm biased, but I also love Speed at Oakwood - intense and quite smooth in my opinion (though I don't react as badly to roughness as others seem to).

Hard agree.

I think one important thing to note is that "central" news sources also tend to grab stories from either side of the political aisle to appeal to those further from the centre. The BBC, for example, ran a story titled "We're being pressured into sex by some trans women", and was very critical of...

I'm glad you had a good day, Matt! Was actually there a day previous, sorry to have missed you! As in my post from the least common opinions thread, I thought Flamingo Land was quite underrated, and apart from the terrible ops was thoroughly enjoyable. This may have been due to it being the...

Never was a believer in the Mandela effect until this post. There was always a cable to the top hat? We must have switched dimensions.
