I don't want to sound negative, but let's be realistic. Flamingo Land doesn't have anything like the level of investment that Busch Gardens does. The similarity of having rides and a theme park in the same gate is about where it stops. It's not a bad park, but in terms of attractions it's...

Lightning Rod: Been waiting 2 years to ride it after it was very broken on my first visit in 2017. It's had loads of problems, but now it seems to have finally got over the worst of the issues it was suffering. And I'm delighted to say it was worth the wait. The front of the train in the...

Rode a few extra last year, so here's my updated count: Boomerangs: 24 SLCs: 24 GIBs: 4 Invertigo: 3 Family Boomerangs: 5 SFCs: 11

I wouldn't say that about them. I've done every GCI built up to 2010 that's still standing, and as long as they are looked after, they are absolutely fine. Lightning Racer is nearly 20 years old and still gives a great ride. Kentucky Rumbler is the exception here, that is rough as a badger's...

I was there a couple of weeks ago before they started putting the final track pieces up, and by the looks of it they still had an awful lot to do even then. Plenty of final groundwork/queue line and station bits weren't ready.

^GCI's projects before they started building their rides with Millennium Flyers in mind were all rough as. Gwazi was awful, and Wildcat and Roar aren't much better. Thankfully after they left the PTC trains behind they've made some great coasters. All logic points to this being a GCI. Invadr...

I've done 10 of them now, and I'll be adding Untamed later this year. This is damn hard because there simply isn't a bad RMC out there, and I can't choose between the top 2, so they're tied. Out of the ones I've done so far... 1t. Steel Vengeance: Utterly bonkers from start to finish. Not much...

Straignt from the Iron Horse's mouth! Yeah this looks fab. Day trip already getting planned later this year to go ride this.

They will. But give it 3 or 4 years.

I've got 19 of the 25. X2 and Lightning Rod were both spiteful on my last visits to their respective parks, and I've not been to Kolmarden yet or back to the parks which have since had the other RMCs open.

This is unfortunate. Probably very innocently done, but it does look like blackface from the front.

I pretty much agree with all of this. I had a better day at Knotts than you did, but that was 12 years ago on a Tuesday in November and they've added loads since, but it sounds like their operations have got worse. Also completely forgot that I've visited Valleyfair, which I'd probably put...

I bet that it has so many awesome parts. You simply won't believe how much this cred can change your life.

Not a new cred (I'm finding harder to come by), but last cred I rode was Rutschebanen at Bakken. Hadn't been on it in 4 years, and I'd forgotten how much the ride has been ruined since the manually operated trains were removed and the disgusting Kumbak trains and operating system were put on...

I'm really looking forward to seeing the area and ride return - it would have be easy to throw in a new concept and do away with the old ride, but bringing it back with a new twist is exactly the right thing to do. My only hope is that there isn't a VR headset in sight.

Shambala was a bit of a let-down when I rode it around this time last year. The ampersand was fab, but the airtime wasn't all that. I'll give it another chance when I next go to PortAventura in warmer months, but it wasn't as good as the hype led me to believe. The Voyage has also let me down...

2018 was also a complete write-off for myself, like @Ian I changed jobs and worked an awful lot, and couldn't commit to any trips. But Liz and I are defo looking to get back in to the Live swing of things in 2019. Serena's done a great job lat year and in taking a lead for 2019, and there's been...

Phoenix at Knoebels is very good. But Coaster at Playland is ridiculously good. Classic coaster has that one mad airtime hill after the turnaround, but it's not that great apart from that.

Went to South Korea's E-World (or Woobang Towerland as it used to be called) in 2007. The Boomerang was being welded back together that morning and was supposed to be shut for the day. But they opened it anyway. +1. Honourable mentions to Cedar Point for opening up Gatekeeper with less than a...

About 270 creds in 2007 and then in 2015. Don't think I'll get close to those kinda numbers again,
