I feel like @Hixee is the man who decides when something gets to be upgraded from rumours topic to construction topic ;) Frankly, I think one topic for this is MORE than sufficient...

I don't make a habit of agreeing with Ben, but he wasn't wrong. ...this topic has also served to remind me that it's not just rose-tinted glasses, this site is a lot more pleasant than it was a decade ago.

That's it for another year then! Once again, quite peculiar - but the jury vs. public vote at least didn't seem to have as much swing as the last two years... and the UK another zero from the public vote was bloody hilarious. Neither of the top two really deserved it, in my opinion - Austria...

I've voted for Sweden, who were best on the night, hotly followed by Iceland, Italy, Armenia, Ukraine and Luxembourg. Also, Albania are indeed not as bad as France or Latvia.

Semi Final 1 was a good bit stronger than Semi 2 - I've also just realised that I forgot Italy when I made my Top 10 and just had to update the app... To be brutally honest, I think Australia have stopped trying- I don't expect people to take it seriously and I love a novelty song as much as...

To clarify - this would still have included Belgium, Ireland and Czechia, which we've lost in the semi-final process (bizarrely, as we ended up with the likes of Greece, Latvia and Albania instead...) On a musical level, I enjoyed Slovenia and Lithuania, but to my mind they were both far too...

I don't know a lot about storks, but if they're anything like geese, telling one that's guarding eggs/chicks to bugger off seems like a hazardous way to spend your morning. I guess they're a fair bit more authoritative over there though 😆

...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...
