39 - given a recent trip to the US, I actually thought it would be higher, but Toro was the only one of note to be added to the list. Stealth is their best coaster in this country and that's a really depressing sentence.

As Nick says, he talked me into a day at Download a couple of weeks back - I've wanted to go since I was a teenager, but also wanted to be with a 'responsible adult' :D Creeper were our main draw - this was my seventh time seeing in the space of as many months as they've been on a fairly manic...

I guess we're between Thirteen and Colossus... which is a depressing state of affairs. I haven't ridden The Wave yet as I'm waiting for them to open their new cred... nor have I reridden Colossus since the various improvements I'm told have been made.

While I was there, I lent on a gate into Banshee's ride area (incredible ride, but I can't walk in a straight line after it!) - and was a little concerned when it came open. I don't think you could actually have wandered into the path of an oncoming train from that section - but it concerned me...

Now look what you've done.

....and Thundercoaster!!

^ This is obviously a joke post, but if anything, it's Merlin should be apologising to Mack - this will not be the greatest publicity for them. Wanna give them lessons on organising a piss-up in a brewery, Nick? ;)

Totally respect the argument - and the fact that you have the same sentimental fondness for Thorpe that I have for Alton. I'm aware my comparisons don't always make sense - it bugs me that the Smiler could have been Lost Gravity and all they really have in common is a colour scheme!! They could...

*disclaimer - I'm far too lazy to read most of the posts and I've got football on in the background* Social media (or 'X' and the even more gross 'Threads') are a sea of 'SUNAK OUT NOW' etc. Quite frankly, I don't think we'll even make it to Christmas before that goes 360. That's not to say I...

OK - with my serious head on, I'll admit this poll, along with the opinions of a few people who actually know what they're talking about, has piqued my interest. But I've been riding Nemesis since before most Thorpe fans were born - and its year out, 'rebirth' and indeed my own recent trip...

Sadly, since the demise of Wild Mouse, this has been like choosing your favourite symptom of the common cold. The once great woodies are barely rideable, so too is the Big One and Icon sends me to sleep. Gotta be Revolution, hasn't it...

Don't make me laugh.

(I've applied to be a vote counter though - it appeals to the stats nerd in me)

To be fair, I had to unfollow that page due to the amount of misinformation they were posting in regard to this coaster.

^ They're a lot busier than they were, which is frustrating when you realise that half the people you're queuing with weren't born when Spinball, Rita and the like opened. And as you say, the number of ****s with youtube channels is painful.

Hit 600 on Banshee last month. Woo :) 2024 is also on course to be my most cred-tastic year. Double woo :)

This is AMAZING.

Both days, obviously :P

I've only been to three - and my take was that I'd like to move KI's coasters to CP. The atmosphere isn't great at King's Island, but you really are spoiled for choice with coasters, whereas Cedar Point's ranged from overrated to forgettable (TT2 was of course, closed). Cedar Point has a...
