    Eurovision 2013

    I didn't really see what all the hype was about with Azerbaijan. I was expecting a lot more from the UK. I was a bit excited to see Bonnie Tyler representing Britain. Its obvious the UK will never win another Eurovision for a LONG time, but I thought that we could stand a chance of getting some...

    When did you ride your first "big" roller coaster?

    As a kid, I was frightened of rollercoasters. I refused to go on even the small rollercoasters. I couldn't even go on The Flying Fish. The first big roller coaster I went on was Rita, front seat. I think I was 14. It was a good experience. Took me another two years to go on something that had...

    Least Favorite Coaster Trains

    Definitely has to be the stand up trains for Shockwave at Drayton Manor. They are a nuisance to get on. The restraints are uncomfortable and not to mention the seats lock in some awkward positions, such as being too low down or too high up.

    Coasters that seemed ahead of their time

    Oblivion, Nemesis and Air.

    Your thoughts on Zufari

    I thought it was a crappy ride, but a good crappy ride. Needed more animals and less focus on a plot.

    Favorite Coaster Trains

    I loved the trains for The Swarm. I do like the look of The Smiler trains too.

    Your first Drop Tower experience

    My first (and only) experience was Detonator at Thorpe Park. I didn't want to go on a drop tower but I was convinced to go on it. I felt more comfortable because there is a countdown that plays, so I knew when I would drop. The only problem was that you cannot hear the countdown from that heigh...

    Why isn't that movie/tv show a ride?

    Maybe Back to the Future? Could make a good launch coaster, as it could go at 88mph.

    worst/best sponsorship

    Yeah, it got sponsored in 2010.

    worst/best sponsorship

    The best I have seen would probably be Tidal Wave sponsored by Dr Pepper. It doesn't subtract from the overall look of the ride. Just a few decorations in the queue and the repainted roof of the bridge. The worst that I have seen has got to be Oblivion when sponsored by Fanta.

    Coasters only you seem to love

    X:\ No Way Out, Rita and Saw: The Ride. I guess Saw is not really hated but people tend to complain about the roughness and the restraints.

    Favourite Computer/Video Game Music

    I would honestly say that Uncharted 2 has an amazing soundtrack. The music is compelling and can bring suspense. It suits the mood very well to the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vckNK19y4rY Also, The Far Cry 3 soundtrack was quite good, when it wasn't playing chart songs from...

    Best/Worst Standup

    Only ever been on Shockwave, and it was bad.

    Have you ever had a ride prediction that turned out right?

    Re: Have you ever had a ride prediction that turned out righ I have only got one prediction correct, and that was that Alton Towers would build a coaster with more inversions than Colossus, which is being built right now: The Smiler. Apart from that, nothing else.

    Overrated and Underrated Roller Coasters

    Overrated: Kingda Ka, Top Thrill Dragster, Stealth (and any other launch coaster that follows the pattern)- I just find these to be tedious. Its sacrificing interesting layout for intense speeds and heights. Maybe I'm insane but I just don't find these rides to be worth an hour of waiting...

    Has anyone heard of Theme Park Inc?

    I used to play Theme Park World almost every day as a kid. I then saw "Theme Park Inc" and I bought it, thinking it would be just as good and better. It was good, but nothing special. I played it again recently and now I remember how much it used to crash.
