Depends on the ride entirely. Airtime machine? Hands up all the way. Multi-looper? Holding on to try and stop my head clattering side to side. Anything else? Usually just leave my arms hanging loose. Exceptions - wild mice, I'm hanging on like a mother ****er. And GIB's - you're lucky if I...

Smiler for me - that second hill in particular where it flies through.

Can't comment on Troy. I loved Joris - was fully surprised by it. Absolute machine of a ride. My memory of Wodan is a bit rusty, however, I think it has one or two elements that just have it standing above Joris for me.

Not sure if I'd rather be tucked inside a bobsleigh not looking up, or going face first on a tea-tray, or feet first with a bloke on top of me.

Yeah Jordan's first few words sum it up - if you're a regular visitor or have been before, TTD just becomes 'another ride', so to speak. But for first time visitors, it has a pull and attraction that few other rides come close to. For a comparable example - if Nemesis was down, would it stop...

I think the thing that bugs me about Alton is that it makes it difficult to get a lot done in a single visit - especially if you want to zig zag. It's not so bad with Europa because there's always something in between. Efteling to a slightly lesser extent than Alton, although we went during...

Can't lie, I'm impressed at the effort s they're going to here. Also really keen to see how it rides and if there's much of a difference once it's finished.

Easily Europa Park. Phantasialand is horrendously overrated for me - don't get me wrong, Taron and all of Klugheim looks amazing. But it's literally Taron. Most other things in the park were meh. Sure, it's pretty (and I haven't been since F.L.Y) but there's an awful lot of dead space as well as...

If it's a COMPLETE re-track can I count it as a new cred?

I have no idea what this is but if I remember I'm in.

Love this idea. Can't remember which ride it was I'm thinking of that did similar but I remember thinking hang on there's empty trains coming through. Minor changes - I'd add another bunny hop or two to the end of Rita.

I might as well just start screenshotting my RCT builds at this point because they're just as likely to end up looking like the finished product.

Candidate*

I would bet my left bollock that 90% of the renderings shown so far won't be anything like what any eventual finished park looks like. It's all about driving interest and investment so that those involved can carry on filling their pockets.

Yeah the trade off with not using 'unique' as a selling point is to have a really strong brand. Things like Thomasland, Peppa Pig World, Nickelodeon Land all did massively well for parks without being marketed solely as 'unique' and that's because of the strength and recognition of the brand...

Chair of the LRCH is the ex Conservative mayor of London and they keep being granted farcical delays hmmmmmm nothing to see here folks

Depends on the country, the target market and the brand tbh. In the UK, there is a monumental over-reliance on uniqueness as a selling point. It's why ALL of the recent marketing from major parks is aimed around highlighting how unique something is, whether it be world firsts or tallest/biggest...

Keep an eye out for CF-lives that have their own forum, or are mentioned on the various CF social media. Just posting in the thread that you'll be coming along is usually enough for most of them. 100% - although you may find it helpful to talk to people on the forums and get familiar with them...

That Channel 4 thing at Alton was utterly dreadful as a programme - but was a brilliantly smart bit of marketing.

There's two very distinctive groups within the GP category you could be referring to with regards to PMBO - those who have ridden it and those who haven't. For many people, it's as iconic as the Tower is and when they think of Blackpool it's one of the first things they think of, they...
