Seems a good place to ask. Why do RMC coasters mostly have 'Twisted' or 'Steel' in their name? I wonder if the park get a small discount from RMC to promote their brand identity.

Also worth remembering PPH would include Fast Track and the much abused RAP system. So if a 700PPH ride at Europa Park has a 60 minute queue for example, you can expect that figure to be 90-120 mins at a Merlin park.

@Snoo Hyperion gets a weird amount of disrespect, it is insane. That first airtime hill is possibly the best in the world. Agree on Zadra, very good but not quite enough airtime. 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Skyrush 3. Untamed 4. Taron 5. Time Traveller 6. Phoenix 7. Twisted Colossus 8. Magnum XL200...

Holiday World Last park of the trip - boooooooo. We hit the road at 8pm after a full day at SDC, heading to Indiana on a 6 hour drive. A long distance but the SDC detour was so so worth it. Got a cheap motel halfway there just before St Louis to break up the drive and drove straight past Six...

Like @Tonkso I was also at Plopsaland over the weekend. First of all, what a doddle that drive is. 35 mins down one stretch of motorway from the Ferry to De Panne. Ride To Happiness - This had been getting rave reviews but I wasn't in a huge rush to ride due to a couple of USA trips taking...

By far the coldest was Energylandia in December. Way too cold to enjoy the 200ft+ coasters, park was completely dead and probably shouldn't have been open. Hottest probably Cedar Point and Kings Island this year around 35 celcius but we done 25-30k steps with barely any shelter. Florida too...

Writing that report gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside 😂 On reflection I guess it proves how much I really value an overall experience as opposed to just coasters. Something that I never thought was necessarily the case. I'd rather be at Cedar Point than anywhere else but my most memorable...

It can be a pain in the arse for us nerds but it's actually great to see the lengths we go to in this country to protect greenspace and wildlife.

Surprised it took this long tbh. They've got the vastly superior Lightning Racer(s) as well as Comet so they're all sorted with classic wood. From memory though Wildcat is quite a compact ride, so this could be one of the smallest RMC's.

Wingsuiting (?) must be the ultimate adrenaline rush. Surely there is nothing in the world that could top that feeling of flight? I mean you're basically a bird. I'd love to be in a position where it was possible to do that comfortably. Was watching paragliders on Devils Dyke near Brighton...

Looks cool though tbf.

Absolutely love that Untamed shot. Looks like it's straight out of a 90s coffee table book.

Not Legendia but I rode Hyperion & Zadra up the road in heavy rain in near freezing conditions, so you should be fine.

Must admit this park has never been on my radar until now. The B&M's look good but dated and hardly unique. Its fantastic to see parks on the continent upping their game and building modern airtime focused rides. Helix was thr possible catalyst and since then we've seen... Taron Taiga Untamed...

Yeah that's not a great name is it really? Should've just bulldozed it and built a bouncing fairground ride called The Princess And The Frog Hopper.

Park 4: Silver Dollar City I was pumped for one ride here and one ride only. A certain Outlaw Run. So much so that I didn't really pay much attention to the rest of this park building up to the trip, which led to a long day filled with very pleasant surprises. We were among the first guests...

Can relate with the Six Faffs nonsense. They just make everything needlessly awkward and difficult. I loved Kingda Ka too - definitely the best of the launch > top hat > brakes I've done.

Travel/Wedding Stuff Leaving Dollywood early proved to be a great decision as we arrived just outside of Nashville for around 8pm. Just in time to watch game 2 of the NBA finals in Hooters. Amazing how good the wings are at Hooters compared to, well, Buffalo Wild Wings for example. The...

Twister at Knoebels.
