    Flee to Walibi

    Yeah I believe I did speak to you guys. I think it was just before you got on the ride. Great to meet you all! Some of the other enthusiasts I bumped into were part of a larger group so perhaps you saw them as well. And yeah I think I saw your group taking part in a survey before the gates...

    B&M Hyper clamshells vs overhead lap bars; which restraint do you prefer?

    Both are great. If we are talking about the seat and not just the restraint, I'd say B&M Clamshell as the bucket seats are more comfortable for taller riders such as myself. However the Intamin OTH lapbars are the most liberating as you really feel exposed to the elements. The Mack ones are...

    Finally one of my all time favourite albums has been re-issued on vinyl. I've stopped collecting, but I just had to pick it up. I think People=S*** might be my favourite song period.

    Icon or Blue Fire?

    Icon I don't remember any airtime on Blue Fire and I just think that Icon has a more interesting layout. Although Blue Fire has a slightly better launch and that final barrel roll is still my favourite inversion on any coaster. Helix is the king of the Mack multi launch though. Sent from my...

    CF Speed Build Competition | Round 4 | Entries

    I was hoping it would just be processing, but I have just come back to see it all choppy (sigh) I think it's because my Nvidia recorder exports it in a odd format. Oh well, teaches me to not rush things and export it the proper way! I will re-upload the video tomorrow Sent from my SM-A217F...

    Matt N’s Europa Park Initiation 26th-30th April 2022

    Awesome report Matt! Silver Star has always been a solid hyper in my view. You may or may not know this, but you can walkthrough that indoor section of the alpenexpress. I would recommend it if you have the time. It's one of many smaller hidden things to do around the park. Sent from my...

    Flee to Walibi

    Here I am, sat in Charleroi Airport. I've been waiting in the terminal for 90 minutes and still have another 2 hours to wait for my flight. Now that I have left the tyranny of retail I finally have a job with normal hours. A normal life for a not so normal bloke. With this I have been very...

    Finally time for an update, Now I have finally left the UK after lockdown. 1: Helix Still my all time favourite. This Mack coaster might not be the most intense or the give the most airtime, but it's the perfect example of a coaster with variety, which is usually the thing I want the most out...

    "Now Showing"

    Watched "The Northman" a few days ago. With every film it seems Robbert Eggers gets weirder and weirder. The cinematography is outstanding and the music really stuck with me. The performances were all great and despite hearing of it's 2hrs and 15 minute runtime, it felt like that time was used...

    Does the “comedy roast” have a future?

    I don't think it's dead, but we are no longer in the years where acts like "Don Rickles" or even "Frankie Boyle" are considered acceptable, which is a great shame because they are some of my favourite comedians. A good comedian understands that framework is needed to to tell a good joke, most...
