I have had a couple of bruises over the years, mostly from the coasters at Blackpool. I got a partially nasty one on the revolution when my shins hit the body of the car on the first drop. But yeah, I've never been truly injured. The most pain I have had on a coaster was riding a chance...

Stealth.

I think it's part of our national identity to moan and complain and I'm not excluding myself from that, moaning is the most British form of expression. The Grand National used to be alot more tolerable, but in the past 10 years it's become more painful than fun. I haven't done "Reborn" yet, but...

Nice report. I really need to get on Expedition Geforce. I was waiting for the Xtreme Spinner, but considering that's not going to be built for a while now I will probably visit a lot sooner.

I'm really hoping that the Jaws IP happens. As much as I love Harry Potter, the lack of Jaws in Florida still feels present. It's also one of my all time favourite films so there's that.

Here's the POV

I would say the Walibi parks are a good shout. Entry is usually between 40 and 50 euro, which might not be the cheapest, but I think there is a good balance of quality that goes with that. Add ons like speedy pass don't break the bank either if you get a couple of one shots for 5 - 10 euros...

"Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push" - March 22nd 2025 After an early start waking up at the wee hour of 4:10am it was time to make my way to this Spanish theme park. My flight arrived in Madrid early, but after 20 minutes of taxiing, I unboarded the...

You can get the Azumah buses as linked above. I just getting a single back to NYC as I'll be getting the train from Philadelphia then getting a taxi from Trenton.

More test footage has been released with some POV teased. Plus some "Behind the Scenes" technical info. Video published by coasterfriends on youtube. https://youtu.be/-zWDP_Pt03w?feature=shared

"Forbidden Valley" indeed.

I feel like the writing was on the wall, but still shocked to see it closed so suddenly. Only had the one visit in 2009, so my memory of it is vague, but I remember it all feeling a bit out of place; enjoyed Megafobia & Speed though. Such a shame for all the local enthusiasts and of course for...
