Same here, no charts either although a lot of Mack products here (a lot of them were at Europa). Mack - 20 Vekoma - 9 Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) - 8 Intamin - 7 Maurer Sohne - 5 Arrow Dynamics - 4 Gerstlauer - 4 Zierer - 4 Reverchon - 4 Classic Wooden Rollercoaster - 4 GCI - 2 SBF Visa - 2 WGH...

My issue isn't necessarily groups using it but it is groups insisting on being batched together. I don't mind groups as long as they're happy to be split as the queue time can be longer than the main queue. I'm not sure it's particularly clear on Hyperia as recently, there is confusion with...

Over the last year, I have found Thorpe Park to have improved substantially. Operations have become a lot better than before although there's still tweaks that need to be made. Queues have been more manageable and I'd say that's credit to the team. Some things still need sorting such as ride...

For me, I am of practically near equal distance to Legoland and Thorpe Park. Although Legoland is closer by a small margin to me, I consider Thorpe Park to be my home park as it is a 40 minute train journey from Reading and the shuttle bus from Staines being more direct. I go to Thorpe Park on...

Hmm I'd have to say some of the coasters at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Before that point, it was mainly Thorpe Park and Chessington which doesn't have as much sustained airtime. Not going to be overly specific but I'd say Icon and The Woodies are the ones that featured the most sustained airtime...

My main one is Thorpe Park although this is because of locality, the vast variety of rides and it being some of the most thrilling in the UK Chessington, Drayton and Paultons also have a good variety but are more aimed towards families so wouldn't visit as often. Paultons from 2026 onwards does...

Interesting to hear rumours of even more rides going as soon as this closed season 😦😮 Go Karts, I believed was on it's way out for a very long time with the size of the land, the capacity, environmental reasons and it being a extra charge attraction. With Dragon, I'd have thought that it...

Now I've ridden it, it is unlike anything I've ridden here in terms of airtime and I'd say it is my UK favourite and overall 3rd. The airtime is unbelievable and it made me come off with a rush. Taron and Voltron are my 1st and 2nd respectively which both are complete packages and have...

As was I, I didn't expect it to be so soon... I am thinking the area behind Cobra and by Raging River is where Project 2026 will be. I'm fully expecting Seal Falls and Digger Ride to end up at Funland Haying Island next year 😂 I'm hoping the replacement is a modern flume much like Biberburg at...

Speaking of the future of the park, I speculated Raging River will be moved on from the park eventually either in preparation for or after a new larger replacement log flume opens. It seems Interlink have got a log flume up for sale with Raging River's photos and details...

I'd say it's because the South West especially around Cornwall way is further away from most of the country and it relies on the tourist market. You could say that the likes of Bournemouth, Weymouth or Bristol could sustain a major theme park although as you get into Devon and Cornwall, it...

It was a very long time ago when I rode it 😅

Drayton definitely have that policy in place, Stormforce 10 is also included in that policy during school trip season.

My bottom two coasters are Skyways that used to be at Clarence Pier and Infusion at Blackpool. Skyways, I've found incredibly rickety and rough whilst Infusion is horribly rough every time I've ridden it. Grand National is rough however it is very variable. I found it smoother than Big Dipper...

Completely agree that at the moment, I would visit purely for an enthusiast event or with a fellow enthusiast as the reputation of the park is still "a kids park". I believe that it has already transitioned to a "Family Thrill All-Rounder" and is equivalent to a "Pre-Jumanji Chessington". It...

One of the comments I've heard is along the lines of "Paultons Park, isn't that for kids?" which comes from the reputation that the park has from it's Peppa Pig World area. That probably will be a thing of the past after 2026 with the viking themed coaster with inversions teased opens 🎢

My current personal Intamin count is: Colossus Stealth Rita Thirteen Shockwave/The Wave Taron

At current, this is my current B&M count in no particular order. Nemesis Nemesis Inferno The Swarm Galactica Oblivion Mandrill Mayhem Black Mamba This count could imminently be joined by Silver Star as I am off to Europa Park in a couple of weeks 🤩

Peak School Trip season usually runs from next week to the end of school term (Mid-Late June to Late July?). Weekdays during this time can be crowded during this time (at times even more than weekends). I have found the first 2/3 weeks of the summer holidays (July and August) to be more...

I'm pretty sure S&S don't make Sky Swats anymore as this likely factored into why it was closed, been SBNO for years and soon to be removed. Potentially yes, although possibly could be distinct enough to have both. Something like Tundra Twister at Canada's Wonderland could be awesome though...
