    Movie Park Germany | Movie Park Studio Tour | Intamin Multi Dimension Coaster | 2021

    I didn't realise they had a studio tour (really must look into the history of this park more!) but the scenes remind me of the old Gremlins ride they used to have! Great to see them paying homage to their roots.

    Nitefly fears for his life at Paultons Park (and more!)

    Thank you for bringing that nightmare-inducing advert into my life, it's excellent.

    The World of David Walliams is coming to Alton Towers

    Did...did you think they'd made a children's land themed around the man/00s comedian David Walliams? 😂 And yes, his books are very Dahl-ish down to the Quentin Blake inspired illustrations.

    The World of David Walliams is coming to Alton Towers

    I get your point but the pull of Walliams here is that he's the UK's no.1 best-selling children's author for something like two years straight?

    What's The Song You're Listening To Right Now?

    Not right this second but I was just driving back from Towers listening to this album, but this song in particular slaps.

    Coaster hair?

    Yh, the balaclavas are certainly intended for hijab/niqab users but honestly next time I ride I may consider one, my hair was like a birds nest!

    Coaster hair?

    No but only because I brush it obsessively throughout the day when I'm at a park to stop it getting too horrific. Tell you what WAS a fun hair experience...Formula Rossa!

    Alton Towers vs Blackpool Pleasure Beach

    I do love the Pleasure Beach in all its fabulous tacky glory. I do really appreciate the no rhyme or reason approach to the Pleasure Beach that can take you from epic Viking world-class water ride to random piece of (Polish?) architecture and street sign for no reason, to huge American brand...

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Urgh, I'm really sad for Dreamland. It's a park I really enjoy just because the vibes are fun and they've done some great Halloween events. Hastings is actually really nice too so glad to see Pinball X find a new home. Fun fact, that pond you can see in the photo - I saw a dad having a...

    Fantastic old coaster footage/pics

    ^Was going to say @furie, I'm surprised you've never heard of it as this was the original idea for SW1!

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Southern problems I think? I was saying to my friends it's hilarious to me seeing half of theme park Twitter wetting themselves over a smiley face whilst the rest of us sit here baffled 😂

    What is the UK's most Iconic piece of themeing / themed area?

    I have a few: Transylvania at Chessington Reasons as mentioned by Chris above and more! Spooky, immersive, TWO excellent attractions plus nostalgia points for me. Could hang out there all day. Wicker Man at Alton Towers Whilst the coaster isn't my favourite, I do adore the centrepiece...

    Coaster with the strongest smell?

    The station of Extreme Rusher smells like garlic bread because it's directly above a pizza restaurant. I kinda like the damp watery earthy smell of the Nemesis pit too...

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    My hatred of the place cannot be rescued by neither Shambhala nor Red Force alike. HORRENDOUS non-sensical operations, everywhere stinks (particularly in summer), rude staff, ruder clientele, graffiti and gum everywhere. And they gave me food poisoning :mad: (as if I didn't already hate the...

    Rank the Intamin Launch Coasters

    Maybe this is all of them? I should note that I ADORE launch coasters, particularly of the Intamin variety, so even the ones at the bottom are coasters I've enjoyed. 1. Taron, Phantasialand - duh? 2. Formula Rossa, Ferrari World - excellent launch, loads of speed, endlessly rerideable. But...

    Universal IoA | Jurassic World VelociCoaster | Intamin Blitz | 2021

    Why am I so excited to get an opening date that makes no odds to me, a Brit who won't be visiting until next year at the earliest 😂

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    RMCs are good but the fact that they're so predictably excellent makes them a bit boring. Dollywood doesn't have any stand-out coasters that I'd be gagging to get back to ride and overall I think SDC is better. Millennium Force is extremely dull. Port Aventura is terrible. Energylandia is...

    Music Recommendations

    OK this has made its way into my rotation. It's absolutely ridiculous, I love it. My fav tracks are American Nightmare, Stabbing in the Dark and Rocking the Boat. Stabbing in the Dark gives me big Breaking Benjamin vibes, it's stupid.
