    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    When are people betting on this being open? Supposedly staff onsite have claimed the project is "still on track" for a Spring opening - that said, that's a pretty wide window and there looks to be quite some work left to go. Desperate to ride this thing ASAP, but equally I remember The Smiler's...

    Ain't it great? (Japan Megatrip) - December 2023

    TDolphin is a below average Intamin hyper with an iconic setting, whereas Panic Coaster is an above average little family coaster with a fun theme. Whilst TDolphin is worse relative to it's ride type, I think I still preferred it overall. I also can't help but feel that Gekion proved the...

    Ain't it great? (Japan Megatrip) - December 2023

    Day 7 - Tokyo and Hanayashiki Asakusa I tried to hit Hanayashiki in the first stretch of my trip whilst visiting Senso-Ji temple, but I arrived at the gate to find it very much closed. Ah well, I’ll be back. Fast forward basically 2 weeks and I was indeed back. The park itself is fantastically...

    Day 6 - Fuji-Q Highland My final big stop of the trip was Fuji-Q. They’re home to a selection of Japan’s best coasters, with Eejanaika being my single most anticipated ride of the trip. That said, they’re also notorious for their awful operations and ride downtime. Did it live up to the hype...

    Ain't it great? (Japan Megatrip) - December 2023

    Day 5 - DisneySea Being somewhat strapped for time on this trip, I had decided to only do one of the two Tokyo Disney parks. Being the more unique of the two, DisneySea was the obvious choice. Previously, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting two Disney Resorts, Paris and Florida, though Paris is...

    Day 4 - Yokohama and Odaiba Originally on this day I had been planning to go to a train station in the middle of nowhere, Yairo, to follow in the footsteps of Jet Lag: The Game. Upon reviewing my itinerary a few weeks before I left, I decided that a 4 hour round trip Shinkansen to go to the...

    Day 3 - Nagashima Spa Land My day visiting Nagashima Spa Land began with a 5:40am alarm. Urgh. Bags packed and armed with a miscellaneous set of 7/11 snacks, I hopped on the metro to Shin Osaka then headed to Nagoya. Nagashima became part of my trip itinerary as an enroute stop on my day in...

    Day 2 - Universal Studios Japan (USJ) My week or so of sightseeing across Japan was just coming to an end. Me and my trip partner spent time in Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Nara and Hiroshima, finally ending up in Osaka. After I sadly said my goodbyes and she headed on to Hong Kong, I began to gear up...

    Ain't it great? (Japan Megatrip) - December 2023

    Intro It's been a while since I travelled beyond Europe. After spending most of my Summer working in Oxford, I knew I'd have the some spare funds and the desire to do something unforgettable with them. Whenever I was off the clock, I was planning. This lead to a couple of small scale trips...

    Turkish Delights (Vialand, Land of Legends) - July 2022

    Intro In July 2022, I visited Turkey with family - it was my first international trip for a long time, and I had a great time visiting Istanbul, Cappadocia and Antalya. Despite not primarily being a theme park excursion, of course I managed to squeeze a few visits in! I'm mainly writing this...

    Alton Towers ride closures

    My personal prediction is that in 2017 we could see a MACK water coaster. I will admit, it's a shot in the dark but it would give them, honestly, a much better water ride that also could have the adjustable splash for when we have the usual terrible English weather. I guess I'm sad to see it go...

    What is the Best B&M Inverted Coaster?

    For me, my list goes as follows. I've only managed to ride 3 inverts as I live in the UK. 1. Nemesis - Nemesis is located in my "home park" so I get to ride quite frequently. Despite it's roughness, the sheer intensity of Nemesis remains unmatched for me, the only ride that's come close is...

    Alton Towers Fireworks Trip Report - 7/11/15

    Fireworks review I began my day in Forbidden Valley on Air. I was lucky enough to get in a front and back row ride within roughly half an hour, so I was quite pleased. The shop was shut off, so there were no onride photos, but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I didn't have my final flight until...

    Rattler - GCI woodie

    Rattler is a twisty GCI woodie that has 3 tunnels and 4 airtime moments. It is now available for download! I may consider putting more coaster's in this same map if Rattler is well received, who knows! You can view Rattler on Nolimits Exchange here.

    100 Best Roller Coasters In The World - Where Do You Fall?

    Re: 100 Best Roller Coasters In The World - Where Do You Fal I visited on a Sunday in late July this year. The main problem is that too many fastracks are let through. On Tatsu twice as many people with fastracks were let into the station compared to those in the normal queue. Full Throttle had...
