I wish you well! Hope you have good rides on it and don’t get the whiplash some people get. I really liked it but maybe I was lucky.

I love Mako to bits, but Shambhala is just to die for. Practically perfect in every way. Got to ride it at 1am last October <3.

That does sound exciting! Can’t wait for a return visit <3

#700 Ba-a-a Express, Europa Park, Germany (2017) #800 Astro Storm, Brean ‘Theme’ Park, UK (2018) Finally went to Brean today. Ew.

I didn’t do Battle for Eire no. I noticed it was there, but wasn’t too intent on doing it I guess as I find VR attractions a bit faffy. I’m not really a fan of having the headsets for a ride; I haven’t even done the proper Galatica VR experience in my home park yet XD. Maybe if it’s good though...

In theory that idea makes sense, but practically I’m not sure I can see them going for a ride with a similar system to Shoot the Rapids which they removed after only like 5 years of operation, and on top of that one with a finiickity vertical lift system. Unless Intamin have successfully assured...

Part Four: Busch Gardens Williamsburg + Go-Karts Plus Busch Gardens Williamsburg (evening) After a few days’ journey up to Williamsburg, we arrived at our hotel mid-afternoon on a Sunday and as we had bought two-day tickets (weren’t much more than one-day), we decided to make our way into...

I don’t think Flying Dutchman’s are anywhere near as bad as Volare’s, in fact I actually quite like them (not done Batwing, but Firehawk and Nighthawk). I agree though that the lying down position can be uncomfortable when you’re waiting around on the brake-run to go into the station, or just...

Griffon - I feel like this coaster deserves a lot more appreciation. It rides beautifully, the floating sensation down that massive drop is delightful as is the fabulous ejector you receive in the back row. It’s a wonderful coaster I could pretty much ride all day. Sheikra - I agree this has a...

That’s ****! Six flags should be illegal <//3. I hope you’ll be able to return and ride Goliath some time. Part 3: Myrtle Beach Creds + Deadwood After travelling around the south coast for a few days, visiting various places like Hilton Head, Savannah and Charleston, we traveled up to...

I was surprised by how rough Gold Striker was already when I rode it last year, especially considering it’s still pretty new and a GCI. I can totally see CGA letting it rot eventually which will be a shame, but atm I think the level of roughness is perfect and makes it feel extra vicious and...

Yeah, Roar O Saurus > Lightning Rod is one of my new favourites. Just above Roar O Saurus > Taron, Roar O Saurus > Skyrush etc etc. Roar O Saurus is crazy FIERCE! It’s the best <3

Obviously Kozmo’s Kurves. Kurves are just so much better than standard “curves” <3. Seriously, Phoenix is the best by miles yeah, though I also think Twister is rather good. Impulse is ****

Yeah, this is how I feel too, pretty much exactly. I rode it a lot and wanted to think more of it but its faults were just too burdensome (the very tight restraints, the rattly rides on the wing etc.). I guess I didn’t find it crazy extreme enough to be able to ignore those problems. Also, yay...

I’ll parenthesise the overall ranking beside the coaster. Steel: 1.Intimidator 305 (#1) 2. X2 (#2) 3. Expedition GeForce (#3) 4. Twisted Timbers (#4) 5. Kärnan (#7) 6. Shambhala (#8) 7. Maverick (#9) 8. Black Mamba (#10) 9. Behemoth (#12) 10. Iron Rattler (#13) Wooden: 1. Phoenix (#5) 2. El...

I’ve ridden EGF on four separate visits since 2011. I think the trims grabbed a bit on one visit, but they were hardly fatal. It’s always been a fantastic coaster for me; the best in Europe, personally, and the best airtime machine. Its popularity has dropped by the wayside a bit I think since...

^I can see your point definitely; analytically speaking, I305 is far from perfect. I guess just based on reasoning, I may seem hypocritical, but I think the difference is I just a feel a lot more for I305 than Lightning Rod? Regardless of faults, I’m simply just more impressed by I305, though I...

Only including coasters that are currently operating and where I don’t have a definite trip planned to visit yet. Not gonna include any more than 10 per continent. Europe: Storm Nefeskesen Lech Coaster North America: Voyage Steel Vengeance Storm Chaser Medusa Steel Coaster Lightning Run...

Best explanation I can give for Lightning Rod right now. Not in the top 40. Any further information should not become public knowledge ;) Nemesis and Mako are both fantastic coasters! I don’t think they’re too low. In fact, I think I rate them both fairly similarly to you, if you take into...
