    Great Nor'easter to get a major overhaul in 2017

    I'd have thought for that sort of money (or a bit more) a completely new coaster would be more worthwhile... even something gimmicky to pull in the crowds. It'll be interesting to see what it looks like I guess.

    Best Flying Coaster

    I'd like these a lot more if they didn't have pretzel loops. Such an uncomfortable feeling with too much pressure on your head and vital organs. Just vile. 1) Starry Sky Ripper - Really different layout, love the zero g and a half and the vertical loop felt really cool. Don't remember it being...

    Chessington World of Adventures Vs Paultons Park

    Went to both for the first time in 2006 (age 16) so never experienced them as an actual child. I found Chessington pleasant and Paultons a bit dumpy. Not been to Chessington since 2010 but even then it felt tired. I'm no expert on the place but I don't think they've added much even since then...

    Park websites - the good, the bad and the ugly

    I remember one from before that - just found it and turns out I started it! viewtopic.php?f=29&t=34119&hilit=websites It's safe to say that most of them are outdated as it was from 2012 :) However I'm going to drag up Fantasy Island's old website because it's just brilliant <3...

    M&D's Tsunami derailed

    ^ Might explain why it's taking so long to get the rest of the park back open. I'd expected it to open quicker (without Tsunami obv) to be honest.

    M&D's Tsunami derailed

    ^ Still closed. Except the small indoor section. In other news, not surprisingly, the inspector who gave the cred the all clear on the 10th of June has been suspended / banned from working. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-g ... t-36823711

    Guilty Pleasure Coasters

    I secretly love a Pinfari. Wildcats & the common loopers can get in my face.

    Your B&M Count

    Quite a basic 45 but a few exclusive ones at least. Ask me again in 2018 as there will be a lot more by then, assuming all planned trips end up happening! Alpengeist, Busch Gardens Williamsburg Apollo's Chariot, Busch Gardens Williamsburg Batman La Fuga, Parque Warner Madrid Batman The...

    M&D's Tsunami derailed

    I'm not convinced the park will be finished tbh. As long as the others get out of hospital with 'only' broken bones and nothing life changing it won't be as bad for them. So far they've have been very lucky with the injuries. Not sure what the going rate for a broken leg is, probably like 10...

    M&D's Tsunami derailed

    Wow. Absolutely shocking and unprecedented. To be honest I can't believe there haven't been any deaths, very lucky if there aren't. Surely there will be some life changing injuries? Again, extremely lucky if there isn't. Can't figure out how it's happened - like everyone else I wouldn't have...

    Cedar Point or Kings Island

    Not been to either but I can't see how KI could be better. These kind of parks only really have the creds going for them and CP clearly has the better line up.

    Is it a cred? - A general discussion topic

    I think RCDB would count those Spanish things. Seem pretty much the same as these: http://rcdb.com/2272.htm

    Ferrari World Abu Dhabi | Mission Ferrari | Dynamic Attractions | 2023

    Sandrush looks amazing. The other two are very WTF, in a good way. We're planning on stopping here on the way to Japan at the end of August. I hope they'll get the other two open by then.

    Overly trimmed Coasters

    TH13TEEN is ridiculous, you actually get pushed forward into the restraint! I don't know why they didn't just make it a bit shorter and not bother? It's news to me that they were added later, always thought they were there from the start. Formula Rossa deserves a mention, but you're still...
