    First Rides: Best, Worst, and...Interesting

    Best Fury 325. Easter Sunday 2017. Driving towards Carowinds and seeing their skyline of Intimidator and Fury testing was an amazing start. Better still Fury was a walk on so no wait for front row. Sat down and left the clam shell so that I would not get stapled in. Wow what can I say...

    Do you count coasters you rode pre-enthusiast?

    I have to say yes, I have always loved coasters/theme/amusement parks for as long as I can remember. Prob being 11 and going on the Ultimate back in 1992 on my birthday and rode many more after. It was me finding this forum many years ago that I guessed I became an enthusiast and enjoyed...

    Overrated and Underrated Roller Coasters

    @TPC One of the reasons people don’t go on about Scorpion Express theming is, it’s not a scratch to the old rock work theming it used to have. When it was looked after it looked amazing. I must admit I too do not dislike Baco. I do Have a soft spot for it.

    The biggest thrill in the smallest package?

    For me White Lightning at Fun Spot. Modest woodie that I think punches way above what the mediocre stats suggests. Brilliant caster for its size.

    Walibi Holland | Untamed | RMC Robin Hood Conversion

    @Cranedude another pointless post and repeating yourself, or where you in an echoey room. However they are not messing around with this. I can imagine the track will arrive soon enough, with Vekoma not being too far away. Assuming that’s where the track is being fabricated. I’m looking forward...

    Carowinds | Copperhead Strike | Mack Dual Launch

    The rendering was based on the ride in 2 years time.... just so people don’t get upset that it will no longer be rust coloured.

    Daxing East | Anshun China | Theme Park

    Erm.......no. B&M are far superior and have a large enough reputation to see off Golden Horse dodgy knockoffs

    Mirabilandia | Desmo Race | Maurer Spike Dragster

    The capacity is my only consern, but like what ATI said it would make a good family addition but only really in smaller parks. Not sure if the queues would be too mental at a park like maribilandia. Time will tell.

    IOA | Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure | Intamin LSM Launch (Dragon Challenge replacement)

    Ah I get what that building is. Universal visited Alton Towers and thought towers was trumping them on theming. They wanted a towers just like Alton’s. This coaster tho is looking amazing, I can’t wait to see more theming going up and planting. It’s so rare that we see such a large coaster...

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Tigris | Premier SkyRocket II

    @ATI That could be only part of the shipment leaving the plant in that photo. Stop being facetious. I’m quite looking forward to seeing this on the skyline at Busch. Colours should fit in well.

    Thorpe Park: What could the future hold?

    Wouldn’t put it past Merlin claiming the most coach bolts used on a wooden coaster ever. A woodie at Thorpe Park would be a great addition to their line up with the out of control feeling a woodie gives,
