    Release The Krakow: Poland Live 22-23rd Sept

    Mine and Rach' s flight home is early evening Sunday from Katowice so Saturday is our only option. Sunday probably makes more sense for those staying on for the final night. I've just noticed the meet up time for Energylandia is at 9:30 anyway so will probably give Zatorland a miss unless we...

    Release The Krakow: Poland Live 22-23rd Sept

    Just got our act together and we'll be staying at the River Park aswell. Anyone got any plans for the Zatorland credit? I see it opens up at 09:30 on the Saturday so it makes sense to get it first thing before Energylandia opens at 10:00, unless there is a planned goon migration at some point...

    Release The Krakow: Poland Live 22-23rd Sept

    With the announcement of Hyperion opening & coming across some cheap flights, me and Rach have decided to book and we'll now be joining for the weekend. :) Our flight home is early evening on the Sunday so we'll need to leave Legendia around 4pm ish, but that should still leave plenty of time...

    Ploptrix - Plopsa De Panne & Parc Asterix - 1/2 July Planning

    Glad you can make it Sue, but I think you'll find that Bagatelle is closed on Monday & Tuesday this coming week. :( Anyway, our tickets (and Pass Rapid!) for Asterix are purchased so see you all on Sunday!

    Ploptrix - Plopsa De Panne & Parc Asterix - 1/2 July Planning

    Just been looking to buy some Asterix tickets this evening and it appears that the 15-25 year old tickets are not valid on weekends, so that rules out that option! Looks like the only reasonable option will be the standard online dated adult tickets for €4.

    World longest airtime

    The winner here surely has to be the Intamin Reverse Freefall coasters, or more specifically, Superman: Escape from Krypton at SFMM. 415ft towers of vertical up/down gives 0G airtime for the full duration. RCDB puts the airtime duration at 6.5 seconds for Tower of Terror II at Dreamworld, so...

    Ploptrix - Plopsa De Panne & Parc Asterix - 1/2 July Planning

    I can't comment on the predicted queue times having never visited Asterix before, but if others suggest it could be busy then we (thats me and Rach) are also in support of the fast pass option. It seems a few of us need all of the credits (myself included) so for a much more relaxed and cred...

    CF-Live Dates 2016

    Sweden in August sounds fab. Me & Rach can't make the previous July dates but weekend of 20th August is much more likely for us. =D>

    Favorite Steam Train Ride

    I had to rise from the depths of lurking to post in this topic. :) Most themepark trains don't interest me that much and usually only get ridden once everything else has been done, but there are exceptions to these, especially when steam is involved! Dollywood easily wins in this category...

    Liva Italia II - June 2015 - Trip Reports

    In a bid to actually make some progress and upload some photos I’m gonna speed things up a bit and just upload some photos and my comments on the rides/parks. Cinecitta World It was really surreal to walk through the main street of a major themepark during its opening hours and being the...

    Liva Italia II - June 2015 - Trip Reports

    Enjoying all the reports so far guys, bring back some great memories of the week. I also echo Ian’s comments about this being one of the more relaxed and enjoyable lives I’ve been on. Whilst a large group can be more exciting with such a wide range of people, the intimacy of our group size...

    Liva Italia II - June 2015 - Trip Reports

    Me and Rach are now finally back home, arriving at 4am this morning having spent a couple of relaxing days around Lake Garda and Venice after the end of the live! First of all thanks to Nic & Ian for all the organisation and discounts. It all went very smoothly and was great fun along the way...

    Accident at Alton Towers

    I completely agree Furie, someone must have noticed it had stalled after that amount of time, but with basic knowledge of the systems at play here, its the best and most plausible scenario at the moment and a way to cheat the computer system to allow 2 trains in the same block segment. If a...

    Accident at Alton Towers

    It does amaze me how most of the general public and media don't seem to realise that rollercoasters are gravity powered and once they get moving, there is no control to stop them mid track! I think Pokemaniac's comments on page 7 of this topic best sum up the most plausible explanation so far...

    Hamburger Dom and Heide Park

    The next morning was much the same. We checked out of the hotel and dumped our stuff in the car and then entered the park for the second day. As the hotel was even quieter this morning (looking at the list at breakfast, there can't have been more than 20 rooms in use) we thought we stood a...

    Hamburger Dom and Heide Park

    We awoke to a still very foggy morning and slightly concerned that it may cause a late opening for some rides. Still, we went down for breakfast, mainly consisting of bacon, after which the fog cleared and we headed into the park. You can enter the park before opening but are held in a...

    Hamburger Dom and Heide Park

    We didn't ride the ghost train. I looked decent enough from the outside and also had a very long queue (~10 mins?) - given that all the other rides were walk on, I suspect thats a sign its a popular choice! The trip was based around Heide Park, but we thought we might as well go when Hamburger...

    Hamburger Dom and Heide Park

    ^ I will add that the last corner has quite a bump and the brakes were very sharp, but otherwise perfectly fine! ...and ECG, beer tents were very dissapointing, the few that were there were small and empty. Given that I had to drive and Rach doesn't drink beer we didn't stop. :P Sent from my...

    Hamburger Dom and Heide Park

    Whilst the rest of CF were getting credits in Madrid, me and Rach had already booked a long weekend in Hamburg for Heide Park and Hamburger Dom spring fair! We managed to snag a great "buy one night get a second night free" deal on Heide Parks Port Royal hotel, meaning that 2 nights, breakfast...

    Flug Der Dämonen - Heide Park Opening Day

    I'm heading to Heide next weekend and it's interesting to hear everyone's reviews of the ride so far. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the ultimate wingrider we were hoping it to be, but I'm optimistic it will deliver a decent ride for us when we go. Out of interest how busy was the park? 2...
