    Who has conquered the U.S.?

    I've done 483 across the US, and because it's been so long since I last visited some of the places I've already been to, I've still got some big areas to pick up a few more. I've not been to California or Florida in 15 years so there's loads of new ones there, and I've still got oodles of creds...

    Fantasy Island (UK) | Spinning Racer | Maurer Spinning Coaster | 2021

    Not gonna lie, I'm delighted I've ridden this already so I don't have to go back to Skegness. But for anyone who's not been to Fantasy Island before and/or is happy to drive to a lot of nothing, then it's a half decent +1. There are some better, but many much worse examples of this cred.

    Icon at Blackpool Pleasure Beach; overrated or underappreciated?

    Copy and paste everything that @Ian said. This was the ride that Blackpool Pleasure Beach was crying out for, and I'm delighted it's finally got a decent coaster that belongs in this century.

    Cheetah at Wild Adventures retired

    I went to Wild Adventures back in 2006, but Cheetah was having maintenance done so didn't get to ride. Can't say I was that bothered then, and I'm not bothered now that it's going. And from everyone I know who's been on it, it was pretty terrible. Which is pretty much par for the course for...

    LWV confirm removal of several rides

    I remember an interview from Colin Bryan of Drayton Manor talking about when the park's owners invested in the shopping village, and that nearly sent them over the edge about 20 years ago, so this is a bit of a running theme for the park, whoever's in charge of it.

    World's Loudest Coaster?

    I'll go for Superman at SFMM as well. Even 15 years since I rode it, it's still the loudest ride I've ever heard. And I'm including CFers screaming on pirate ships.

    Plopsaland de Panne | The Ride to Happiness | Mack Xtreme Spinning Coaster | 2021

    This is full-on fab. Who cares if the name is a bit weird, the memes are gonna be great.

    What would be your dream theme in a theme park?

    I'd love to see a Blade Runner themed area. Obviously it will go way over budget and not recoup anywhere near the money that it should, but it will get great reviews and look incredible.

    Your Favourite Ever CF Lives

    There's not much more than I can really add to all the awesome stuff that everyone's mentioned so far, but as the person who had the idea of getting a bunch of like-minded folk off the internet and together for real in 2003, it's been a huge part of my life. It's brought people together, been...

    WTF Merlin?

    Yet again, this all comes back to management ensuring that staff are trained and capable of carrying out these policies.

    Your Wacky Worm Count.

    Mine is 5.9%. One in every 16.68 of my creds is a Wacky Worm.

    Your Wacky Worm Count.

    81 & then 82 after today’s little haul from Funder Park and Funland Weston-Super-Mare. The exclusive club is not far off.

    Your Wacky Worm Count.

    80. I'm gonna get to the 100 club and then I'm retiring.

    Fatal Accident at Parc Saint Paul

    I went on this about 6 years ago, and it was a bit terrifying even with both of the restraints. But if the seat belts have been removed, that's a big no-no, especially in this day and age.

    Your longest theme park hiatus?

    Just over 6 months since I was at Phantasialand, and it's starting to get a bit long in the tooth now. I'm looking at going to Europe in the next couple of months, and hit up some domestic parks in the next few weeks.

    Walibi Belgium | Kondaa | Intamin Mega Coaster | 2021

    Looking forward to this taking shape now. Walibi Belgium is doable in a day from Manchester, and whilst I would never have dreamed of doing such a thing before this ride gets built, I'd definitely consider it once it's up and running.

    Gullivers Valley

    ^The original concept of the site looked half-decent, but it's been scaled back and back to the point where now it's just beyond underwhelming. I'd like to give it a chance and try and go with an open mind, and I've got friends and in-laws with families I can tag along with for creds. But...

    PowerPark | Pitts Special | Gerstlauer Infinity | 2020

    The first rule of Pitts Special is: You do not talk about Pitts Special.

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    Forgot this was still a thing. Not sure how more dead if can get. But where there's a will, there's a way.
