The cynic in me says it's this. You shouldn't have to prove you have the courage for it by doing a shorter ride first. Ultimately they aren't going to refund you if you bottle out anyway, so it shouldn't matter if you've done something like that previously or not.

Why? Anyone that is daft enough to pay £120 to climb Hyperia should be welcomed with open arms by the park I would think!

Took a few snaps of this while I was at the park last weekend. Looks quite good for a small park and nicely themed. I believe it's due to open at the end of the month.

Yeah, single rider on single-file trains just seems like a stupid idea really :D

I enjoyed the pictures of Brisbane. Despite spending 5 days in the area last year, we never got around to visiting the actual city 🤷‍♂️ I also enjoyed Dreamworld the most on my trip. Best ops and friendliest staff in the area.

Definitely agree about the Aussie parks, Movie World especially. Just infuriating! Surprised nobody has mentioned Parque Warner Madrid yet. Their ops and ride availability were disgraceful when I visited. I've visited PortAventura 3 times and even when it was super busy last time I went, I...

@uwurawrus Any idea how busy this place gets in the summer? Do you think I could get all the creds in a couple of hours on a Saturday in June? I'm pondering adding this park to my little Polish trip based on the reviews of this new coaster!

Almost 2 years since I last looked at this thread! Rearranged for you @James F with unridden in italics. 1. Zadra 2. Untamed 3 Shambhala 4. Kondaa 5. Taiga 6. Schwur Des Kärnan 7. Toutatis 8. Wildfire 9. Hyperion 10. Helix And my current Top Ten: Steel Vengeance Taron Wicked Cyclone DC...

My season is as good as over, though I should get one more new cred at a winter funfair if the weather plays ball. Here are my stats with a few extra ones added that I track every year. Coaster count at start of 2024: 407 Coaster count at end of 2024: 488 Coaster count increase: 81 Number of...

My season is effectively over and I got an amazing 81 new creds, and a few made it into the list. My overall top ten is still all Steel coasters so I'll do a separate one for the woodies. New creds from this year in bold. Top 10 Steel Vengeance Taron (I actually count this as joint first with...

That wasn't an option when I was there, possibly because they were sold out. I would have paid that to get a quick ride done tbh. Just been reading your trip report, funnily enough. You had better luck than me! :D

Here we go then, Thursday 10th October - the final day of our holiday. Our flight home wasn’t until 1am the following morning so we had a full day at our disposal. It was raining quite heavily when we left Brisbane in the morning to head down to the Gold Coast for the final time. The forecast...

The following day Anna was going to spend the day with her friend, so that left me free to do some solo park trips. It had rained heavily overnight and the forecast for the day wasn’t too promising either. I was hoping this would mean the parks would be quieter, but I wasn’t taking any chances...

They don't have metal detectors, but even items secured in pockets aren't allowed. Would they spot everything? Probably not, but they did look people over as they wre getting on rides so it wasn't worth the risk of keeping anything, given how slow the ops were.

Well things have change a little since then. The lockers are free now, and there's no gift shop anymore, just a big empty space 😆
