A new one - I have absolutely zero concern regarding the future of Falcon's Flight at Six Flags Qiddiya. I see multiple concerns regarding that the ride won't live for very long and will sit SBNO indefinitely after a single-figure amount of years operating. I'm not sure why people are so...

At an enthusiast event, apparently Thorpe Park ran just one train on Hyperia yesterday and closed the queue after only 38 minutes of operation (a full hour of ERT was advertised). Almost everyone in the event got only one ride in as a result. It's commonly being stated that Thorpe Park charges...

Fenix at Toverland (#290) - I was told this was a strong albeit shorter wing coaster, but unfortunately a consistent bounce throughout the entire layout made me not like this coaster as much as I wanted to. read more Meanwhile, Troy (#291) didn't do much to help either, with a middle row ride...

Just voted libdems. Labour lost me when they said one thing: "we are on the side of drivers". I knew I couldn't vote for them when they said that. I don't drive. For me, that's basically them saying "we are not on your side, we do not care about you". Why not aim to be inclusive towards everyone?

Blizzard (owned by Monty Hammond) - bad in ALL regards Cyclone (Barry Island) - rough, boring, and brakes are attempts on your life Kopermijn (Drievliet) - extremely uncomfortable and brakes are attempts on your life The Walking Dead (Thorpe Park) - more of a personal thing, mostly being an...

Uhhhh.... Part 50: Legoland Windsor & Thorpe Park I have... a lot to say about Minifigure Speedway, and it's unfortunate to see Merlin continuing to open rides in an unfinished state - Nemesis Reborn, Hyperia, apparently Damonen Gruft didn't fare too well in that aspect either, and World of...

Honestly looks tame even by family coaster standards, but I guess Ice Breaker's random unprecedented intensity must've scared them off so they decided to play safe. Fair enough. Otherwise, looks forgettable at best. If you have a compact layout like this and don't bother theming it, then...

^ I felt like I was far too brief in my Stealth and Nemesis Inferno reviews, so I've just made a quick edit to expand quite a lot on what I thought of them. I'll just say not your usual review.

A car has crashed into a Taron support beam. The ride is closed, but no further information. EDIT: I am hearing the ride has reopened

Part 49: Thorpe Park It's 2024 and we continue, and I understand your tremendous disappointment and fury as the UK's biggest thing in thirty years isn't involved in the milestone that is part five-zero in my endless homeland series. A short break due to me going international more often than...

If it is a small-scale family friendly ride, why are they starting construction so early into the year? Surely a ride of such small scale wouldn't take 9 months to build (assuming they want it open somewhere around March), or am I missing something?

A good friend of mine who loves roller coasters and Thorpe Park has been completely put off riding it at all, after multiple explanations of the issues from me he's decided that he doesn't want to ride it for at least the rest of the year as he thinks it's unsafe. I explained how the ride's...

I know as little about the technical details as the next guy, but I think I might shift some blame over to Thorpe themselves as well. The fact that they announced an opening date *before trains even arrived* didn't sit right with me, and the whole testing process felt incredibly rushed. It...

Immersion is where a theme park builds a ride's world to make you forget that you're at a park. Theme parks, especially Merlin, have hugely tried to immerse its riders into multiple worlds - but while the rides often have impressive theming, they almost always fail to make the rider ask...
