    Top 10(ish): 2024 Edition - page 124

    Great List! Really want to get back to Florida now. It's a shame that Hyperion rides so differently dependent on weather and such. I rode it in the summer and it was outstanding, but I also think that if I went back to Energylandia on a cold day it may fall down in my rankings as well, but...

    Roller Coaster TV Programs and Other Related Videos

    Sorry if it's already been posted, but I have found a documentary/educational short from the 90s about the mathematics that went into Nemesis. It's hardly Top Gear though, I think they have picked out 3 of the most boring people to present a program.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach - Recreation [Completed]

    I've been working on and off on a recreation of my home park Blackpool Pleasure Beach for the past few months. Some areas are better than others as I have found building this park far more challenging than I expected and out of the 3 British parks I have recreated in PlanCo this one has been the...

    Flee to Walibi 2 - The Dutch Boogaloo

    Walibi Holland has always held my attention from when the park was in it's Six Flags years. It felt like the excitement of American "thrill" parks where making it's way over to Europe and rides such Goliath seemed like world class experiences. While it might no longer have the Six Flags name or...

    Last Cred Review

    Some quick thoughts on Walibi Holland's coasters before I do a trip report. 176 - Untamed - This is the kind of airtime filled crazy ride I expect whenever I hear the word RMC. There isn't a dull moment to be found here. While I don't believe it's as intense as Zadra, it certainly delivers in...

    Fun Spot Atlanta | ArieForce One | RMC IBox Steel Coaster | 2023

    I guess the best things are worth waiting for. With all the late hours the Fun Spot parks are open till, there will be plenty of opportunities for awesome night rides on this beast.

    Walibi Weekend

    Great report! Walibi Belgium is definitely underrated, it's actually really well themed and I was shocked at the quality of what people might consider secondary rides such as the Rapids. I am going to Walibi Holland this October for the first time and while I think on paper it looks like a...

    Tornado - Särkeniemmi, Finland

    You can make the intimin shuttle full circuit if you disable the in-game track limits, however you can only run one train and will need to use a launch.

    How would you improve each coaster in your top 10?

    1: Hyperion: Reprofile the mid-ride hill to give another ejector moment. Helix: Maybe boost the acceleration? Zadra: a more sustained outerbank hill like on SteVe Karnan: one or two more airtime moments and maybe a zero G stall. Kondaa: replace the twisted double down with a mid size ejector...

    Rank Your Worst-Run Parks

    ^^ I agree with Port Aventura I would also add Mingo Land for abysmal operations, rude staff and general poor management. And Southport Pleasureland is ... Southport Pleasureland To be fair I have had very few experiences with consistently bad parks.

    PortAventura | Uncharted | Intamin Multi-Dimension Coaster | 2023

    Begs the question if it is a hot racer will they will have a moving loading platform similar to Wonder Woman? as I don't believe this is a feature on Big Dipper.

    Forth Times the Charm - Energylandia June 2022

    After getting on more re-rides; Abyssus definitely improved. While I wouldn't put it in my top 10, it is certainly a stand out coaster in my view and makes for my top 15. Zadra was riding even more relentless later on and it made it's way to third place in my rankings, beating out Karnan...
