    Most rides you've ever had on one attraction in a day?

    For me, it's 8 rides on Hyperia recently on an off peak. Before that, it was also Hyperia at 7 but that was mostly on an ERT session where I rode it 6 times in an hour 😱 Most of the time, my most lapped rides tended to be water rides (mainly flume style ones). On my recent visit to Pleasure...

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    That is exactly what I am thinking. With this new (potentially signature) coaster, it has the potential to really put the park on the map as much as Peppa Pig World did or what Nemesis did for Alton Towers which will attract higher crowd levels than what they're currently getting. I would...

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    Good Point ☺️ I didn't think of it that way - the only concern would be capacity though which for potentially the park's most popular rollercoaster, a Hot Racer might struggle with. I don't think we'd be seeing a family coaster this time either way. I definitely think the 2026 new coaster will...

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    I'm honestly not so sure an LSM is as unlikely as those who say it's unlikely think. I believe that is one of the primary launches on a rollercoaster for launched coasters nowadays. I'd say it's potentially the most realistic coaster type that the park are potentially getting. Formula at...

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    I'd say 1.2m or 1.3m would be the right height requirement for the thrilling signature coaster with at least one inversion that they're planning to build. I think there will be more focus on airtime than inversions however I could be wrong. It's effectively the park's equivalent to Plohn's...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Looks like Hyperia is testing as we speak. I've just seen this on CoasterTog's Instagram story. https://www.instagram.com/stories/coastertog/3470831489597727051?igsh=eHgzazYyeTAxbDht

    Where will the next new-gen Vekoma Flyer go?

    It might be possible that the US market might be put off by past installations of the previous generation's Flying Dutchman model? I've heard those models didn't get very good reviews much like the SLCs. There are only 2 STCs at the moment which they're at Tripsdrill and Emerald Park (both in...

    Universal considering UK theme park in Bedford

    I doubt that it would - I'd believe Universal likely did their research on the UK weather before going so far into their bid.

    Mack Launch Coaster at Aquashow Family Park, Portugal

    I'm thinking it could easily be a conventional launch coaster. Portugal has limited coasters operating and I think anything could be a hit, even a Blue Fire clone. A Mack Stryker would definitely put Portugal on the map.

    Dollywood building a new indoor coaster in Wildwood Grove for 2025?

    If Dollywood can pull this off, this would be a stroke of genius 💡

    Tivoli Gardens | 3 new rides | 2026-2030

    Hoping the coaster is something a bit more substantial (Mack Stryker?)

    New Rides Planned for Freizeitpark Plohn (Mack PowerSplash(?) / ART Wild Swing / Unknown Drop Tower)

    Very impressed with the ride - like Catapult Falls and Poseidon combined into one 😍 That would really fill that gap for all three parks 🤩

    New Rides Planned for Freizeitpark Plohn (Mack PowerSplash(?) / ART Wild Swing / Unknown Drop Tower)

    I was thinking this could be very good for parks where height could be an issue. I believe the shortest water coaster is Poseidon at Europa Park at 75ft. Hopefully could get to see a water coaster in the UK 🤩

    Do you wanna know what really grinds my gears?

    For me, at the time of Hyperia's extended closure - what was annoying was that the park did staff only ride day when there were guests there. If I was the guest visiting that day, I'd be very annoyed at that (I was luckily not visiting that day and out of the country). I don't think that was...

    What is your mentality towards riding non-kiddie “+1” type coasters?

    I'm more of a B I won't typically ride a kiddie cred unless I'm on the park and it has a walk on queue. I wouldn't go out of my way to queue up for a kiddie cred for a significant length of time. For let's say a commonly cloned layout, I would ride the coaster if I was at the park that it's at...

    Where will the next new-gen Vekoma Flyer go?

    Energylandia? Considering their tendancy to buy Vekoma rollercoasters and they haven't got a Flyer yet 🤔 At the moment, I'm surprised we haven't seen at least one more Next-Gen Vekoma Flyer show up as of yet after FLY. I'd have thought we'd get one somewhere even if it's in China.

    Why do you love roller coasters?

    For me, it's the thrill and excitement of riding a rollercoaster or riding a thrilling flat ride - for a moment, it feels like I'm lost in a adventure or a battle. Airtime is an element I've experienced more of lately after riding the likes of Taron, Voltron, Hyperia and Wodan and that is...

    What Manufacturers did Cedar Fair cut ties with, partially or completely? What manufacturers did they stick with?

    I'm going to predict that Cedar Fair/Six Flags could cut ties with Zamperla following the Top Thrill 2 fiasco 😱 Or at the very least only be used to purchase flat rides moving forwards.
