    Why Bomb Six Flags America???

    Re: Is their any decent theme parks in DC and Baltimore? I don't post here anymore (don't think I have in a while) but still lurk occasionally to check the news stories...but... Seriously dude? I know as a lurker it's not really my place to say anything, but I really think people could take...

    What is this thing?

    Cheers! The "record" for steepest drop is ridiculous anyway IMO, because for one you can't get "steeper" than 90*s, and if you think about it, any looping coaster has every angle of track possible (i.e 0*s-360*s, a tiny part of the track will be at 145*s, 146*s and so on) so the first looping...

    What is this thing?

    I haven't actually posted in here in a couple of years now, but I just wondered what the hell this thing is/was? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYGkgQ8- ... re=related stumbled across the video, and was amazed that something that hideous had even been built :( Sorry for leaving and then...

    No Limits mac version

    ^ 100% correct. Windows machines tend to contain very valuable personal information which may be of great use to potential fraudsters! For example, even images of no limits rides may be harvested by cyber criminals, and sold to the worlds media, or worse, posted on the interwebs! I strongly...

    Getting to Alton Towers

    ^ The junction 13 one is the one given by AA maps on the net...we used it earlier in the week, but it's not signposted the whole way from the motorway as others have said. It's pretty straightforward though! :)

    Arctic Monkeys at the Albert Hall

    A few of you may remember I had a spare ticket for sale for this gig a while back...so I thought I'd post a quick trip report/review. (apologies in advance....it's not so quick) ;) My best friend is a huge Arctic Monkeys fan, and I really like their music, so when we saw that they were playing...

    Did Th13teen live up to the hype and your expectations?

    I rode this six times in the last two days...and have some very strong feelings on it. First of all, I think it is absolutely the BEST ride Alton Towers have installed since Nemesis, and the BEST family ride in the country by a long shot... If Alton didn't rave about this being a...

    Power cut at Alton Towers

    ^ deadly serious the toilets didn't flush :P It was the mutiny bay ones....I assume they have electric pumps to circulate the water or something? Taps worked, but only cold. Yeah, can't fault the staff at all, the Ride ops on Th13teen did an especially good job, responding with good humor to...

    Power cut at Alton Towers

    I was there :P Was queuing for the flume at the time....and the whole place just ground too a halt. The Music stopped along with the ride, and was replaced by the breakdown announcement on a near constant loop. Staff ran to the lifthills and explained the situation to the trapped guests (with...

    Nemesis - Worlds Best Inverted Coaster?

    certainly the best I've been on....and I've done Nemesis, Nemesis Inferno, Montu and both dueling dragons. Although montu came close on intensity in one or two places, it didn't have the atmosphere, or like others have said the interactions with the environment that make nemesis so...

    John Wardley back on the season pass podcast :)

    I'm pretty sure he just provides the very basic ideas for a ride (and I'm also pretty sure it isn't *only* him and he's got a talented team working with him aswell) He helped created 2 awesome coasters....and a lot of medicore ones...enthusiasts waste far to many tissues thinking about him ;)...
