It's that caption :)

The longest I've queued for a coaster is three hours - Top Thrill Dragster in 2004. I was 24 then, so it was easier to stand for hours and not need comforts like food and toilet breaks as often. I did so because it was my first trip to Cedar Point and, at the time, thought it might be the only...

My review: It's short. It's got a rattle. The station is a bit drab and shed like, and the surrounding area is underwhelming (which I hope will improve when the landscaping is finished and has matured). The colours of the supports irked me - it would look better if they blended it, like on...

Oh yeah, of course.

I wouldn’t say companies rip one another off, but there is a certain degree of inspiration gathered from what’s on show. Take for example Maurer’s rider-controlled movable coaster seat they had last year. I saw about six Disney “imagineers” all taking a detailed look at it. It wasn’t the usual...

Please keep this topic to the coverage - lets not redue ourelves to a trashy gossip magazine. If you know CF well enough, then you can make your own call. If anybody ever experiences a negative issue with CF, then please do take it up with me directly. Thanks all for great support and comments...

That Moose is mega. I’d love to try one. As great as one would be in that box, wouldn’t it just be Black Hole III (or The Newer Black Hole)? The pre-lift “giggles” do give scope for some fab effects and stuff though. I dunno, maybe I’m just hanging on for higher expectations for Alton Towers...

This. Unless Alton have got something “cheap” as a prototype or multi-coaster deal. I also think it would be a bit odd for Alton to announce and bang on about a new coaster before they’ve made a fanfare about Nemesis 2.0. That’s their next big upcoming thing. Why upstage it? If it is a RMC...

Tough call. Like Peet, I rode both the day after the other (and returned to Universal a day or so afterwards), and I’m edging towards Gwazi. Visually (both on and off ride), the Mosasaurus roll is great but I knew it was coming. Whereas IG’s death roll took me by surprise every time. I must’ve...

Perhaps it’s in Blackpool’s interest to be slightly different and advertise contrasting things to Merlin. Blackpool is obviously in competition with Merlin (and other) parks, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Merlin pass holders make up a fair number of Blackpool PB visitor numbers. The Merlin pass...

Dreadful. Thoughts and prayers. I watched the video in one of the reports, looks like the train is still on the track, or has one car been thrown from the track? Or has it derailed and throw the riders out? I saw an image of a wheel assembly on the ground.

So it’s viability and proximity to water rides. Really need to find out how many gallons of water each ride uses, and compare with other UK parks to be sure.

Love Percy. A regular fixture growing up visiting the park, seeing him in newspapers, on billboards and elsewhere (before the internet!). You only have to say to somebody from southern Hampshire of a certain age “it’s a hoot” and they’d reply with “at Paultons Park”. I’d love the one with a...

When I returned to the car and plugged my phone in, I had only used 10% battery! To be entertained enough to keep my phone in my pocket is testament to how much I enjoyed the day. Also means that I didn’t take any photos….but who needs to see another photo of Stealth’s top hat, anyway? It was...

On the Thorpe park advert running at the park, they claim to be the “UK’s wettest theme park”. Is this true? What measurement and data is this based on?

Group photo has to be in the spot where the first one was taken.

Never be old as me!! I really can’t wait to see everybody.

I’ve managed to get a car but can’t pick it up until 9am on Sunday, so I’ll definitely be late for meet-up because I’m about 60 mins drive away. Don’t wait for me @Serena, I’ll message you and meet up when I arrive (about 10:30).

I don’t suppose anybody is passing Southampton (ish, nearer to Paultons) on the way there/back and could give me a lift. Obviously I’ll contribute towards fuel and sort out parking.
