    It's this by an absolute mile... Or nearly any other track on that album tbf. Bonus points for featuring on Goodfellas...

    What’s the wettest you’ve ever gotten on a non-water ride?

    Thank you for your service, sir. Rameses ops were always good fun back in the day and I've had some ridiculous back to back drenchings on there. Must admit though I did often wonder about that open panel and why it was never covered up. Seemed a bit strange that such a wet ride had that massive...

    Oh wow... https://x.com/AttractionSc/status/1728394310658162839?s=20 Were we expecting this level of banking? I certainly wasn't.

    Advertising will probably be ramped up from January. Potential punters are distracted by Christmas at the moment. Merlin tend to go big with marketing and I don't think they'll hold back with something as big as this.

    Stealth still gets 90-120 min queues over Fright Nights, and that was built 17 years ago*. Can see this easily hovering around 90 mins on peak days especially during opening year. Opening day will probably be a solid 2 hours throughout. *Christ that makes me feel old.

    Do we know if Hyperia will have seatbelts? It certainly slowed down ops on Icon when they were added. It seems such a minor thing but can make a huge difference to dispatch speeds.

    Come on then... Which one of you made the viewing platform out of logs down Monks Walk? Lots of work being done on the brake run today, it looks like it could be finished in a few hours.

    Salem & Skyrush, Vermont & Verbolten - Autumn Goodness

    Sorry, only just seen this! We loved New England and should have spent a lot more time up in the mountains. Would have been nice to drive a bit further north to the Canada border and also go further across towards Maine. It looks like the whole Fall tourism thing is fairly new and has been...

    Amazing. It's going to fly up in the coming weeks. Swung by myself yesterday afternoon/evening:

    Salem & Skyrush, Vermont & Verbolten - Autumn Goodness

    Day 7/8 - Salem time. We stayed a 20 minute drive away in Peabody and arrived in the evening. Got an Uber in, had a quick walk around and had some drinks. As we stumbled out of the pub we walked down an alleyway and got chatting to some homeless people who randomly asked if we liked Racoons. My...

    What does your Spotify pie chart look like?

    Lol I'm so white/British. Taylor Swift sneaking in there thanks to Mrs Fisted.

    I'm sure it will look fine when it's fully built. The fade will make more sense than it does at the moment.

    The Long Road to 250 - Kentucky Kingdom - Day 4

    I had similar feelings about Holiday World last year. Best thing about it was the free fountain drinks 😂 Agree Voyage isn't top 10 worthy.

    Your favourite city

    London is the best city in the world IMO. I've spent my whole life in/around it and will never take it for granted. Hundreds of years of history around every corner, easy to get about and a huge variety of pubs/bars/restaurants. Some of my favourites... Budapest Dusseldorf Krakow Munich...

    Salem & Skyrush, Vermont & Verbolten - Autumn Goodness

    Day 5/6 - After building the trip around a visit to Salem, we became aware of the Leaf Peeping phenomenon in New England, where thousands of tourists flock to the mountains to enjoy beautiful autumn scenery. With this in mind we decided to take a couple of days to enjoy the natural sights of...

    Legend Land - Croatia

    They've even got the park map on the website... https://www.legendland.hr/en/park-map/ Two seperate LSM coasters on there, both of which state 200kmph/125mph

    Salem & Skyrush, Vermont & Verbolten - Autumn Goodness

    The next few posts are theme park free, so I'll keep them brief but photo heavy. Day 4 - This would be the longest drive of the trip by a significant margin. We were booked into the Pumpkin Blaze event just outside of Sleepy Hallow NY for 8pm, and we were currently 500 miles south in Virginia...

    Salem & Skyrush, Vermont & Verbolten - Autumn Goodness

    Day 3: We decided to book a rare 2 night motel stay, this time located just a 5 minute drive from Busch Gardens Williamsburg. This has always been a bucket list park for me. It's always looked the better or the BG parks and the Europe theme is an interesting one. We made the sensible decision...

    Salem MA has always been on our radar, mine as a casual history keeno and my girlfriend as a PSL slurping, Autumn enjoying, spooky-stuff fan. We've both had some time off booked during October for a potential beach holiday. Then we went to Valencia for a long weekend in August and remembered...
