    Your 2024 in Review

    So 2024 was a bit atypical for me. I finished work at the end of January with a 9 month sabbatical (I restart again next Monday). It was a sort of 'honeymoon' year for us - as we got married in March - and we split the year into three parts: Trip 1 - Asia & South Pacific (countries in order...

    Project 305 - Intimidator 305 "Transformation" to Pantherian

    It sounds like a weird Hyperia-Pantheon love child. Except it won't be anything like as good as either of them.

    Project Exodus at Thorpe Park; Current Layout (Mack) or Alternative Layout (Likely B&M)?

    Don't get me wrong, I really did like Hyperia when I rode back on the press night (haven't ridden again since), but... I'd probably have still preferred a B&M Hyper. I'm a sucker for the model, what more can I say?

    Wiener Prater | Wiener Looping | Mack Stryker Coaster | 2025

    It looks particularly good with the white supports too - the contrast is great.

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Okay sure - 39mph. I made sound rounding assumptions to do it quickly on my phone. Point still stands - those coasters crawl over the top hats (or even roll back), so neglecting the air resistance and then trying to work out if they'll need trims is futile.

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    But you're neglecting the two largest things slowing it down... like... eh? By that maths, Kingda Ka would crest the hill at a little over 60mph. Air resistance and friction are doing nearly as much work in slowing the train down as the fact it's climbing the tower in the first place. The air...

    Smartphone or tablet; which mobile device type do you prefer?

    This. With a minor tweak. Home = laptop or desktop, Work = laptop. We share a Windows laptop and desktop and iPad in the household - and my phone is an Android - so I often find the iPad 'hard' to use as it's unfamiliar to me. I'm sure everything I would need to do it possible, but it always...

    League of Goons 2024: Q&A

    I think I'll group them under the "fairgrounds" rule: In other words, you'll get the points for the rides (under "other", as my post above), and Scare Zones (once per visit), but you won't get the standard +20 points for visiting a 'proper' park.

    League of Goons 2024: Q&A

    They're just classed under "Other" like any other walkthrough ride. :)
