Really depends on the train. I too think the roughness adds to the charm of the ride and I wouldn't say it's rougher than Saw or Colossus. The bigger comfort issue for me is the crushing into your thighs.

Nice one Matt, that was lovely to see your passion for the place. A lot of us who go all the time only seem to notice the faults but it's important to remember the wide eyed excitement Towers brings so many. It's definitely a special park, there's nothing like walking down Towers Street with the...

That's alright, two years between huge area and coaster developments is still faster than any other park.

All this talk of the ghost train, I'm assuming it sometimes runs with live actors? I visited last June where this wasn't the case and I found it one of the worst ghost trains I've been on. Not a lot of theming and sets and more just a few startling noises. What was it like with the actors and...

Nice, I think that's a fair assessment of Bakken. I enjoyed my time there but I treated it as more of an evening bar crawl with some rides in between. I think if you go to Bakken at opening and hammer out the rides you probably won't have a great time but I think it has a certain charm and...

Incredible footage, it's going to feel dense and claustrophobic inside. Also puts in perspective how tight some of the turn radius' are. Make sure you grab a screenshot everyone!

Invert looks a lot of fun, the opening is identical to the blue Dueling Dragons. I'm also a fan of how the newer out and back family boomerangs look.

My phobia is vomit. If I see someone being sick in real life or on TV everything goes into slow motion like when you fall off your bike and my heart rate goes through the roof. I'm 25 and haven't vomited since I was around 11 so I feel there could be something ingrained in me to avoid doing it...

I've never been a fan of Euro Mir either. It's not just the uncomfortable main portion I have a problem with, it's the fact it takes 4 minutes from leaving the station to get to it. It's so dull going round in circles on the lift hill staring at the corrugated metal shed. The top section is dull...

With regards to Bakken there's no entrances or turnstiles, it's just a few footpaths in this wooded park that lead into the ride area. Sure they may get 2.5m visitors but no one pays for admission. A big part of Bakken is the huge number of bars and restaurants so I imagine a large chunk of the...

As much as their theming and quality improves with each addition they're far from being out of the woods. Take for example the Draken coaster which opened last year next to Zadra. It's completely bare and very similar to other kiddie coasters in the park.

Some photos of the updated dark ride from Energylandia's Facebook page. Unfortunately not much has changed and some fibreglass aliens remain but the facade looks nice.

If the Finland live was still going ahead I bet the comments would be way more positive to get the hype up like earlier in the thread ;) I think it looks decent, a watered down Karnan if you will. It's nice to see a solid layout not bogged down by gimmicks and inversions plus the lapbar Gerst...

I've always assumed Wuzeball is a smug inside joke on Towers Street forum, I don't think it actually exists.

You know you don't have to post a short comment every time there's some news or a construction photo? Less is more in terms of post quality. I know you do post longer, more thought out posts elsewhere on the forum and I want to see more. I do somewhat agree with you, I'm sure those turns won't...

I too have a soft spot for Ryanair, I do 3-4 trips a year with them and haven't been let down in a while. I was stranded in Basel for an extra night due to a strike in 2017 and the compensation was pretty good. All extra hotels, food and bevs in the bar were reimbursed plus a £80 voucher. Can't...

Great topic. Klugheim ones are particularly nice, they feel clean and modern but also rustically on theme. Europa has the best overall selection. All very different and the themes are matched to each country. England ones feel straight out of a smokey snooker club, Greece ones have nice...

Take your time mate and enjoy building it, no need to worry about getting the updates out thick and fast for us lot. Excited to see what you make next.

Great stuff Matt. That last overview shot looks lovely, I like the way the coaster interacts with the rockwork tunnel then threads the loop with the deck area, that's some good verticality. Looking forward to seeing your other countries.

I get this is aimed at purely a younger audience in a way that most of their rides aren't but I can't see loads of farting jokes fitting in with the tone of Efteling. I think this will feel jarring next to the rest of the park and like Lofty said that thing in the queue looks so annoying. When...
