Rollercoaster at Great Yarmouth. I don't know if there was actually that much airtime, but I wasn't very big back then.

Maybe she just has a webbed hand like Rhod Gilbert! Hopefully the opening is smoother than Hyperia and Nemesis Reborn, but it looks like a weirdly complicated ride, so I doubt it!

I said I'd update later on - I'm in! First CF live for me as well.

I agree with Josh, it seems kind of complex for a family coaster in such a small footprint - I wonder if this would have made more sense as an indoor story driven coaster. Still interested to see how it turns out and if it operates ok considering how temperamental new coasters can be.

Hyperia seems pretty cursed so far. One train opps is a lesser evil than not opening at all, but DAMN that sounds ****ing horrible. I hope to god this is all sorted later in the year so I can visit. At the moment it's just too far away from me to justify the risk of it not operating right now...

Infusion at Blackpool is dreadful, only coaster to ever make me vomit. I don't know if I can do a bottom 5, but Tulereki at Linnanmaki is a piece of **** too. It's unique but not comfortable at all, but at least I was mostly amused by it rather than enduring how horrible it was. It's been a...

Updated somewhat quickly, since I got both Taiga and Kirnu at Linnanmaki in May to go up to 9. And sorry Balder, you're awesome but Taiga is a whole level above you.

I haven't been on many of the "elite" Intamins (most of ours are mediocre), but Taiga is absolutely fantastic, and dethroned Balder which would have been my answer from September 23 to May 24.

I couldn't find anything similar to this in the search. There's been a fair few threads about the first coaster with an inversion or inversions that you've been on, but what about the first instance of each inversion you've done? So first loop, dive loop, zero-g roll etc. I'll start to give you...

When that wooden one at Blackpool used to have zero restraints, or the wild mouse. Also Ukko, or I suspect skyloops in general, wow that is freaky being up there upside down like that.

I went to Linnanmaki yesterday while everyone was prepping for Hyperia so I need to review all 8 creds ASAP before I forget half of it! Taiga Obviously this was the main reason for the trip. I've been ill for ages then developed a chest infection which I got antibiotics for literally the day...

Man this takes me back to when I used to come here a lot as a kid. I went again in April and had much better weather than you! Pretty cool place. I couldn't really remember it that well from when I was a kid and I was surprised at how much it had grown when I went recently.

Very tempted by this - will update later on!

I'm in the midlands and people don't even know. I am fine with the theme but I'm surprised at how they've held back with marketing.

I think that it's more a story or idea that pushes it for me. Anything that's more of a concept than simply " a cool coaster with cool visuals and music". The mistake generally tends to be assuming a themed coaster is "better" than a stylised one. Rita as you say above has a theme but it's...

As I've got older I've got more sensitive to it. It's rarely a deal breaker on its own compared to actual roughness, but it can be jarring. I found this to be the case on Nemesis Reborn, whereas on Helix it only happens in one or two sections and you've got lap bars anyway which mitigates this.

I'm not going to rank Octonauts as I've never actually been on it - there's never enough time or shamelessness to ride it and going solo last week definitely meant I wasn't doing it! I'm assuming it would be at the bottom though. 9. Runaway Mine Train - skipped this last week. From previous...

Europa Park seems like such a bucket list destination, with all those coasters, theming, and great operations. Really want to go some day, especially as Voltron looks ****ing insane. Looks a bit like Helix, only not.

The immelman looks really fast, then the next two elements after that look really slow, which is actually more terrifying than if they were faster. Especially the stall dive loop, looks like that thing goes on forever, that will scare a lot of people with just a lap bar, including me!

Never have because I don't do many park visits in a year anyway, especially specifically Merlin ones. Plus you can often get deals or save clubcard points etc anyway for the one or two visits.
