    Ah, the familiar Post-Live glow. My cheeks hurts from smiling do often. My throat is sore from talking coasters all day. But I wouldn't have it any other way! ❤️ Thank you so much to everyone who came today. It was wonderful to hang out with you all at The Island Like No Other. Big rides...

    "Big Mack and Fries" - Thorpe Park, 29th September 2024

    Oops double post. On Monday I was in hospital with an infected splinter on the bottom of my foot. It's all swollen and sore (and gross tbh!) Been on lots of meds, but it hasn't got much better yet. I'll still be there to run the meet but I will be limping and hobbling, just so you all know.

    The security stuff is before the meeting point, so allow yourself time to get through security first :)

    Milestones in Your Counts

    I hit 800 at Six Flags Magic Mountain last weekend. It was my first time at the park and I needed 10 credits to reach 800, so I didn't wanna risk making the milestone something I really wanted to ride only for the ride to go down or something. So....Goliath and its bone crushing helix ended up...

    I'm really excited for Deadbeat, the demon in the promo looks so cool and the premise for the maze really intrigues me! Bring on Fright Nights 2024!

    Hello! Welcome to CoasterForce :) always great to see new enthusiasts joining the Forums and thinking about coming to meet ups! Hyperias lift hill is tall but it's also pretty quick, and your nerves will disappear as soon as you hit that awesome first drop :)

    Sorry For Not Loving Steel Vengeance

    It's 11pm, a hush has fallen over the shores of Sandusky, Ohio. I've crawled into bed at a hotel miles away from Cedar Point. The park has been closed for 1 hour. You'd think that would be enough time and distance, but no. It's not. I yelp and hold my pillow over my ears. But it does nothing...

    37 minutes at Luna Park Sydney

    I always wondered how I would feel, should I ever see the garish uncanny Luna Park face entrance in real life. It was a place that felt too far away to contemplate. Yet here I was in 2024, on tour in Australia, a little bundle of anxious energy repeatedly checking everywhere for spiders. I...

    Is Hyperia your top UK coaster?

    Objectively, Hyperia is the best coaster in the UK. In terms of sensations the ride delivers, it's the closest thing we have to an RMC here. It's also the most wild and forceful Mack I've ever ridden. I like it a lot. It's modern, unique and very re-rideable - with an absolute demon of a first...

    Universal Studios Japan: a theme park to avoid

    I think with that strategy you will be fine. Demon Slayer gets very long queues though! One of the reasons I only got on 5 rides was because there were hardly any rides in the park open, and none of the 5 rides I rode were worth re-riding imo. Especially with the long queues. Glad to hear you...

    Universal Studios Japan: a theme park to avoid

    They did have single rider, but the queue times for single rider were advertised as the same as the main line and were spilling out the gate. Yep, Backdrop is still a thing. Didn't do it, I hate going backwards! I wonder how different my day would have felt had the Jurassic Park rides been...

    Universal Studios Japan: a theme park to avoid

    I've always felt Disney parks expect too much of their guests. There's so much homework involved in visiting Disney: learning about Genie Plus, Lightning Lane, when to arrive at the park early, knowing where to go and what to do. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's Disney visits that inspired the...
