    Favourite Front Row Ride?

    I have a few...Shambhala, Stampida, Dragon Khan (At Night), Nemesis, Grand National and Jubilee Odyssey. I do enjoy front row on most coasters but that's the highlight ones really.

    Park You're Most Excited to Visit this Season

    PortAventura over and over again, already been once in June, got Noches Blancas end of August AND then a week 4 weeks after that, and then again for my 21st before a final trip at Christmas. Parc Asterix and Disneyland Paris should be good, Efteling when I get there (More likely feb) Got lots...

    Stuff you would like to see

    UK and Airtime coasters minus the wooden coasters at BPB is pretty much non existent. Rides have small bursts (Rita for example) but anything dedicated to it just doesn't exist. Need more wooden rides in the UK Proper shows are a must too, not some sing and dance to pop music on a small stage...

    Best Intamin Coaster?

    So far Furius Baco for me, however I've not ridden THAT many Intamin's, Shockwave is a decent Intamin/B&M mash up for what it is though. As for Stealth and Rita, dire coasters. Rita's better layout wise though, don't see the point of launch, top hat section, airtime brake run, corner and...

    Sponsors in the parks

    Fantastic when discreet, as it provides funds for the parks to expand...when it's in your face such as the Fanta, or six flags wrapping though I can't stand it. A perfect example is PortAventura's sponsored yogurt stall in the Far West, it wasn't until I looked up at the sign I saw it was...

    Rita's Launch Cable Snaps

    What's the most likely fail on Th13teen if it goes wrong? Brake fail, drop section fail (relying on those tiny emergency brakes) or a derail from the sensors failing and the floor track section not raising? killing everyone....morbid and pretty much impossible haha. Swarm has shed a bolt today...

    Rita's Launch Cable Snaps

    I'd also like to back up the dicussion about the ride closing during the day, it wasn't a standard close/open check but the entire queue line evac'd and workers around the cable areas. I'm not blaming maintenance but IMHO if there was any doubt, or any weird going on (hence the need to evac the...

    First coaster ever

    The Grand National at BPB When I was about 7 when it was just a lap bar + grab rail with no seatbelts I think, can't really remember anything before it although I'm sure there probably was, I'd been addicted to the original RCT and even the old MS DOS Theme Park game from the day I was born...

    Which coaster(s) do you ride first?

    I don't have too much of a set plan unless the parks really spread out, even then it changes a lot. Having recently visited Portaventura I just worked my way round via Mediterrania > Far West e.t.c but avoided Furius Baco straight off due to the queue. Alton Towers has a set plan of Working...
