Even though I enjoy the odd beer more power to you for not drinking mate! Not drinking will help you remember the good times better and process the hard times in a healthier way. Plus, riding coasters on a hangover can be a pretty gruelling experience!
As for food trends I don't get, over the...

So I’m not going to lie, I feel like this won’t be quite what we wanted. A welcome addition I’m sure, but not the airtime machine everyone is craving.
The curved drop will neuter the airtime falling from that height (the whole point of a massive lifthill) and the lack of straightforward airtime...
Every year this gets increasingly difficult as my cred count grows and let’s face it, this isn’t ‘Rank your top 10 chain dogs’; this is it. The definitive list.
It requires cutthroat decision making to decide which coasters are the best of the best. New loves will be founded and hearts will be...
Yep, with you 100% on the Nash, but I never liked it to begin with 😅
Hahaha I think that my brain just tried to erase that memory as best as it could 😂 It can go in the "lurchy/seasickness simulator" rides category of my no rides list ...just like Lech & Abyssus 😉
For me I've definitely noticed certain forces that have started to become more taxing than enjoyable.
Whilst heavy horizontal spinning has always been quite gruelling, no coaster or flat ride (that focuses on vertical movement) has been an issue for me until quite recently. Two things stand out...
Hello all!
Bit of an emergency, I purchased a ticket for the Thorpe Park CF live today, but cannot find the email with the ticket. I've got maze tickets for today and I can see the money has left my bank, but there is no record of my purchase or receipt.
Hoping to get this sorted at Thorpe...
Yeah this is amazing stuff @HeartlineCoaster really enjoyed reading so far; hearing about all these obscure (relatively) undocumented parks. Fantasiana has always been of interest for the insanity that is wild train, but your report has exponentially heightened my desire to visit! There are a...
Pre-ranking
2007 – 2011 : Stealth @ Thorpe Park
2011 – 2012 : Kraken @ Seaworld Orlando (I had been salivating over it for years on RCDB, so I can guess you can say it was ridden with rose-tinted glasses)
2012 – 2018 : X2 @ Six Flags Magic Mountain
Post-ranking
2018 – 2019 : X2 @ Six Flags...
Boo!

(Spooky, am I right?)
Ghost trains are somewhat of a staple at parks and whilst they might not always deliver on the scares, they’re usually always a welcome attraction at any park we visit. Like other dark rides, they provide a much needed escape from the chaos in motion that coasters...
Cheers @Nitefly! I clearly managed to catch the Poland parts of your TR but somehow missed the Phantasialand parts 😅 I'll indulge myself in your absurd noises when I get a moment!
Glad you enjoyed that part of it! Usually I'd devote a bit more time to the coaster experience itself, but I...
Thanks for the lovely feedback! I do really appreciate it :)
I'm glad you had a nice time at least Matt!
There is nothing wrong with enjoying the UK parks! It's a good thing that you can still get so much joy out of what is a (for the most part) a pretty low bar of quality here in the UK...
So… which lacklustre UK park is this week’s TR from?
Behind door number 1 we have the stunningly gorgeous, Alton Towers! You can tell she doesn’t quite put the effort in that she used too and can’t handle crowds to save her life, but she’ll give you some of the best rides in the country...
