    Last Cred Review

    I got some of the newer creds at Energylandia last week and I'll spare you my thoughts except for the weird experience of: Abyssus Got a front row. It was walk-on, mid-week in early September. Scorching hot. The first launch was more powerful than I expected and actually banged my head into...

    Krakow mystery cred - Euromir?!

    I'll keep it brief - recently headed back to Energylandia. Got +6 and had a chance to reassess some of my top tens. But the main excitement was a mystery cred in Krakow. The name: Euromir. I stumbled upon this through my brother - he had been researching the Krakow Eye attraction and noticed a...

    Bear with me - Hyperia (cred #186) x 4 rides I know everyone's reviewed it by now but my thoughts for what it's worth: 8.5/10 It has to be the UK's number 1 The front row is better than the back row It's a bit bumpier in seats nearer the back The drop is one of the best in the world wherever...

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Phoenix Rising | B&M Family Invert | 2024

    Looks nice for a family coaster, but Vekoma have been doing similar for decades tbh. Nothing innovative from B&M here but I'm sure it'll ride nicely.

    Worst coasters you've ridden (Bottom 5/10)

    On my USA/ Canada trip last year I was unlucky enough to ride Time Warp and Flight Deck at Canada's Wonderland. Having ridden the OG Volare at Wiener Prater,. I knew what to expect and was morbidly excited to see @Climb 's first experience of one. But then we rode Flight Deck - my second SLC...

    Cringe Worthy Non Coaster Enthusiast Comments you have heard

    I had one of these at work - I was in the break room and I brought up the topic of Thorpe and their new ride. Someone mentioned during the conversation that they love Saw at Thorpe Park, but hate how it 'stops at the top'. I commented that they may be thinking of Oblivion rather than Saw, but...

    Emerald Park News/Discussion

    Echoing everyone else, but the invert genuinely looks awesome - much longer than I expected. Definitely has motivated me to investigate a trip over :)

    Coasters that gave you the biggest sense of "danger"

    My first ride on Abismo - it's kinda scary anyway with the quarter loop vertical lift hill, but the ops didn't manually check the lap bar before sending - they literally stayed in their op cabin. I'm sure technically this is fine, but it made me think the bar would just pop open when I was...

    Bellewaerde Park | Mundo Amazonia | Intamin Rapids & More | 2024

    I now can see why parks buy the same old things tbh - the amount of variables, fixes and remaining potential risk in this seems rather unappealing if I was a business owner. A shame because the concept is fun, but I just can't believe they messed up with the boats this badly (although that's on...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Agreed tbh - my non-enthusiast friends seem to be ore captivated by a story that Stealth is apparently closing (based on a TikTok that someone made as a fake news story) rather than about Thorpe opening the tallest/ fastest coaster in the UK

    Alton Towers New Flat Ride?

    Do you think it has something to do with planning - i.e does a reiteration of something (as it's kinda like a rebuild) get easier acceptance versus something new? No idea but could be a reason

    Pretty sure that Europa Park does too - Silverstone Race Track. Probably more common than we realise for some of the older cars rides.

    New rides @ small parks

    I had a quick check of Brean's website and it seems the new coaster is this... lmao at them describing it as for thrill seekers

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Do Alton offer any other free way to get around the park? I imagine for people with mobility issues the Skyride being closed could present a fair bit of an issue travelling around the park. From what I can see they offer paid buggies (£10a day) or paid mobility scooters (£25 a day) but I...
