    WTF Merlin?

    I think the two go hand in hand. Granted, 6pm and rides opening on time still shouldn't be an issue, but they don't have the staffing levels to open any later than that. I don't know if things have improved this year, but the staff I spoke to said last year had been dire, which has lost them at...

    What is your favourite coaster that you’ve only ridden once?

    Colossos and Steel Vengeance are the most obvious

    Is Hyperia your top UK coaster?

    That also has Icon sat in third, forgive me for not taking it entirely seriously!!

    Is Hyperia your top UK coaster?

    Admittedly geography is part of this, but I'm in more of a hurry to ride Gold Rush than Rhyperia. They've finished painting it and everything. I did consider dragging myself to Thorpe on Friday as I was staying the night near Stansted, but the idea of going from Europa to Thorpe in the space of...

    Europa Park | 50th Anniversary Attraction | 2025

    Midnight opening, fully booked - and nearly every queue line still under 60 minutes. That's why they're number one.

    Your B&M Count

    I went to America :) They have lots of B&Ms there and that is good, because they are the best manufacturer. That brings my count to 36 - and I'm hoping this year is far from over. I can't be bothered to list them, but the best are still Katun, Nemesis, Shambhala, Banshee, Baron 1898, La...

    WTF Merlin?

    In theory, throughput SHOULD be a lot better with a train of goons, because we all know what we're doing - but brainfade is not uncommon :D (I fastened my FoF restraint upside down and got stuck in the damn thing...)

    Puy du Fou proposing UK theme park near Bicester

    The weather's not as bad as we make it out to be - I've met cold days in Scandinavia in Summer and been drenched in Benelux and Germany more times than I care to count. I've realised why I've never heard of this place - even googling it, the top results are from theme park 'bloggers'. Pairi...

    UK General Election 4th July 2024

    I tried to use my words carefully (and not say 'woke') so as not to sound like a total arsehole, but I like to think my anti-PC stance is fairly well recognised around here :) For the record, that was the page of the manifesto that would have lost me - I still think leaving the EU was a huge...

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    The competition to attend one of those dreadful media days has a closing date of 11 July; make of that what you will. Not been to Drayton in ages and I've always thought this looks a very interesting little development.

    UK General Election 4th July 2024

    I voted Labour in the end - best of a bad bunch. I necked a Red Bull around 9:30, so looks like I'll be sitting in front of this for the forseeable. I predicted Reform would have a good showing - they've exceeded my expectations so far, but then we have (not to stereotype, but) only seen...

    Is Hyperia your top UK coaster?

    The storms come and go, the big fish eat the little fish and Nemesis keeps on paddling. I'm not old enough to remember, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there'd been people lauding Air and Oblivion like this when they first opened.

    Drayton Manor | Gold Rush | Intamin Family Coaster | 2024

    I was starting to think they'd forgotten about it!! The 'records' are tenous but still make more sense than 'most weightless'.
