    The Maccy D's Thread.

    I imagine that's pretty much the same thing as the double chocolate pie in the post above, but they were 2 quid here. And also, they're not on anymore. 😭 Hoping they make a comeback at Christmas or sumat, cos they were boss. 👌

    Rate the BPB wooden coasters

    Honestly, if I was to rank every coaster I've ever ridden, all three of these would be so far down the list that it really makes no difference. They're all sh*t.

    Favorite first drops...

    Shambhala. Just ridiculously good. The floatiest of the floaties. Oblivion (and the other big dive coasters too for that matter). Time Traveler. 90° straight down right out of the station... while  spinning? Yes please. Hyperion. Endless. Just endless. Kondaa. Two airtime moments in one...

    Favorite element (pre-poll)

    Wildfire's stall. Shambhala's first drop. Ride to Happiness's's's flying snake dive thingy.

    Phantasialand | F. L. Y. | Vekoma Launched Flying Coaster | 2020

    Indeed - it makes it look a lot better than I remembered. I was mildly underwhelmed by the thing tbh. Mind you I did only have one ride and it was somewhere in the middle of the train so perhaps I don't have the full experience. Based on that clip, FLY looks like it absolutely is a front-row...

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    Wait... what? Spinning Coaster? Now that's a plot twist. Be honest... who saw that coming? No one, I bet.

    A bit of Belgium, a bit of France

    I actually really love those gloomy-sky pictures of Kondaa. There's something quite atmospheric about being at theme parks in the rain that I kinda dig, especially when it enables marathons of Intamin goodness like this. I mean, this is practically a night ride! Excellent trip, Sir. Impressive...

    What makes your #1 better than your #2?

    I know you don't 'do' ranking per se, but I  am curious, what coasters were in your head when you answered this? You must have some idea. I think I could take a pretty good guess at what the number 1 might be, not least because it's clearly something loooong (and also because I was there 😉) but...

    A bit of Belgium, a bit of France

    Pity about Monster. I mean yeah, it looks shabby as sh*t but I thought it rode rather well. No mid-course = feet tingling positives on that helix of death at the end. Me likey!

    28 Creds Later - a review of a trip to Denmark

    OMG, that Lego dog really does look like Brody! I mean, they've got the pose wrong, obviously, both his back legs need to be sticking forward, but other than that, yeah it's him! 🤣 The Voletarium is your friend. Get thee to Europa Park, Sir. Fab reports, Denmark is getting more and more...

    "The John Terry Airtime Hill!" Aw man, I'm using that name from now on. Brilliant. 🤣

    Theme Parks with the best catering

    This, but Silver Dollar City instead of Dollywood. And that's only because I haven't been to Dollywood. I would imagine the food is broadly similar at both parks, right? Lots of Southern style delights, BBQ, plenty of smoked meats etc... and, of course, the cinnamon bread. Not to mention Fanny's...

    Efan's European Expedition

    Good ladddd 👏👏👏 Will it stay there though? Some big hitting coasters still to come, could be a close fought battle. We'll see... Glad to see @witchfinder 's pig getting some love - knew you wouldn't let me down - and yeah, that trainer/cargo combo is dodgy as f***! 😉

    Your most “different” park visit?

    You've heard of zen rides, how about an entire zen park? Not joking - me and Dr Dave literally had Legendia to ourselves once. Was freaky. This did, of course, lead to an issue with the crappy Zyklon cred as it needed a minimum of three riders or it would likely stall 😲 It also led to the now...

    A bit of Belgium, a bit of France

    I mean, clearly you weren't riding it right. 🤷‍♂️ Me, knobchops and likely a bunch of others are planning to be out there next June, could maybe liase at BGW? Or anywhere else en route for that matter? Be like 2018 all over again 🥰

    Drayton Manor Resort Five Year Plan 2022 - 2026

    ^Thanks for summarising that, anything that helps to avoid watching the video is greatly appreciated. However, I must be getting desperate - I watched it anyway. I know, right? Kill me. Kill me now. But through the wincing and the cringing, I did pick out a few other bits of info: New Shockwave...

    USA and Vancouver PTR Part 6: Dollywood & Pigeon Forge

    It has one. It's just that it doesn't have any creds (yet?) so it's not on RCDB or Coast 2 Coaster, so nobody ever goes there. I've said it on here dozens of times, anyone travelling to Denver needs to ditch Elitch and go to Cave of the Winds Mountain park instead. But does anyone ever listen...
