...for some reason I just found this topic. It would now have me putting Velocicoaster and Maverick in my top ten, which is a mildly insulting suggestion. This gruesome twosome would be joined by Steel Vengeance, Iron Gwazi, Untamed, Voltron, Zadra, Ride to Happiness, Taron and Kondaa. ...RMC...

So... Speed is 112mph on Red Force Height is 377ft on Tower of Terror II Length - 7361 ft on the best wooden coaster in the world ever Drop - Bloody Red Force again, with the biggest meaningful drop being Leviathan

I can't wait to see Rita go (provided it's replaced, obviously - they'd struggle to build anything worse) and to be fair, I shall not shed a single tear when Stealth goes either. That ride type was a gimmick which has not stood the test of time.

The first two to come into my head are King's Island and Busch Williamsburg - as much as we'd love to see an RMC at the former and a better wooden coaster at the latter. I'm going to take a moment to praise Busch for having a gimmick coaster that's actually good - two of the big coasters are...

So far this year, I think I've only seen Trivium/Bullet, which already feels like a very long time ago, but some good nostalgic stuff. The Maiden tour starts this month - it was such a pig to get UK tickets that I ended up booking a cheap flight to Stockholm and can grab a few creds before the...

Despite a brace of spites at BGT, I hit 47 in Florida, thus making B&M my fourth most ridden manufacturer (behind Mack, Vekoma and Zierer) I'm beginning to see why there's less enthusiasm for them on the other side of the atlantic, as there's not as much imagination and we can begin to see...

^ I've known Smiler hosts who deliberately put you in the back if you ask for the front. Heh heh heh.

I fell off the bobsled at Oakwood back in 2005. To be fair, it hurt my pride more than it hurt me...

Yes! I'm pretty sure I got one of my very first coaster creds there, but I've never been able to find concrete proof that it actually existed!

Fantasy Island has some impressive coasters, but to hyperbolise, it makes you want to die - and it's too far for a 'ride the coasters a few times, then get the hell out' trip - annoying, as I think they're getting a new cred this year. I used to love Southport, but to my horror, I've realised...

Good day to bury bad news was it? But it's been bordering on unrideable for years. Unpopular opinion perhaps, but zero tears will be shed by this goon when it's finally put to sleep. Blackpool have proved that they don't give a **** about history or nostalgia, so that won't be enough to save...

I use stugeron - not for rides, but long journeys where I'm not driving, especially BOATS. Avoid anything with promethazine in it, that's an excellent sedative.

I like Nemesis. Nemesis is good. EDIT: Serena's band are also quite good 😁

The park reported it as permanently closed a couple of weeks back :( (...that is all I know)

I hadn't realised until I saw it that it's sideways on as you see it from the path. This may just be my dislike of change, but I'd have put it the same way around as Ripsaw - this type of ride is always better for spectators than riders. I won't pretend I'm thrilled with it - but we needed Flat...
