Obviously, you're entitled to your opinion, but I have to disagree. For one, the entire experience is actually immersive and works. I think Thorpe should be applauded for what they've managed to achieve with such a restrictive ride that was built with the purpose of heavily relying on VR...

Having ridden quite a few swing launch coasters now from Intamin, Mack, Gerstlauer and Premier; i'm a big fan. Whilst none provide that exhilarating kick you might get from a static hydraulic launch like on Stealth, I'd rather have a swing launch than some of the weaker static launches you get...

Had a ride on it this evening at the Ghost Train press night. Not good. Trains felt as though they were vibrating throughout the entire layout and the sound it was making was beyond atrocious. I never usually bother with Colossus when at Thorpe, but was intrigued enough to give the retracted...

Honestly thought I'd have more ticked off this list since posting 4 years ago; and neither of the two that I have done have lived up to the hype 😢 Time for a refresh I think! 1. Steel Vengence - Cedar Point 2. Iron Gwazi - Busch Gardens Tampa 3. Voyage - Holiday World 4. El Toro - Six Flags...

Well it's been a year and 1 day since I last posted this list. I may be a bit too hasty on this considering that I have two more trips coming up in the very near future, but I think I'm in need of an update. Lots of coasters have suffered due to my big cred injection, but some (like Kondaa)...

100 - Wildfire (Kolmarden) 200 - Zadra 300 - Toutatis The journey to 400 begins! (and still not a single wacky worm in sight ;))

Hmm, whilst the lapbar does look like it belongs on a GCI, the outside of the train does not have the Millennium flyer design (the bar that spans round the back of the car). Wildcat is also the only one I can think of with a red lap bar, but even that doesn't have the right shade of red...

Credit to you guys for such a well-researched and detailed post! Really enjoyed reading that!

1. You won't get kicked out the park but the rides will shut. Fortunately all the hotels and bars/restaurants will still be open 😊 Definitely recommend the bar at hotel Bell Rock! They do amazing cocktails! 2. I wouldn't worry about the hotels being sold out. They were all "sold out" on my last...

I loved taking my mates on Hex for the first time. I think that madhouses can create such a great reaction from people that haven't ridden one before. Untamed was another really fun one. Seeing their reactions to going through proper RMC ejector airtime for the first time ever was priceless 😂

There are so many reasons to be excited about Europa Park! 1. Wodan is incredible. They did some significant retracking during Covid and it now runs like an absolute beast. I think a lot of people rode it beforehand (including myself) and didn't think much of it. It's now one of the best...

I spy airtime 😍

Just stuck to the categories that I have genuine favorites in. - Thrill coaster (with inversions): Zadra (Energylandia) - Thrill coaster (without inversions) Intimidator 305 (Kings Dominion) - Spinning coaster - Ride to Happiness (Plopsaland de Panne) - Wooden coaster - Wildfire (Kolmarden) -...

God, was this really my last list!? 😂 Some significant additions needed since my last ranking in 2019! New additions in Bold, moved in Italics. 1. Black Mamba 2. Montu 3. Great Bear 4. Alpengiest 5. Nemesis 6. Katun 7. Chinese Fireball 8. Hungarian Hortail 9. Nemesis Inferno 10. Afterburn 11...

When you look at some of Intamin's most intense creations, whilst loved by enthusiasts, most parks almost always regret them. Dragster has famously been known as Cedar Points biggest regret; i305 basically terminated Cedar Fair's relationship with Intamin and Hershey Park needed to build...

Another vote for Statistics/A level maths! Hated it! Gave up after 2 terms and used the time to do an EPQ (extended project qualification) which consisted of me writing a 5000 word essay on Metallica 😅 Much more effective use of my time and actually worth some UCAS points!

Interesting to hear that it's happened somewhere else! I think I would have found it a bit more forgivable if I knew that it couldn't interfere with the operation of the ride... or if the ops hadn't cleared it because they were trying to get trains dispatched quickly (definitely wasn't the case)!

The intro to this song is so reminiscent of Efteling and other mainland parks. It fills me with joy ❤️
