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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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
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
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...
