    Dreamworld Australia To Close Tower Of Terror

    It's a shame to hear about this. The original Tower of Terror was actually one of the first coasters I ever rode and it absolutely terrified me at the time! I'm sure Dreamworld will never be the same again without the roar and insanely loud noise blasting over the park as it launches! Things...

    Will we ever see another huge 4D Coaster?

    I personally can't see another one being built just due to the crazy costs and maintenance required. I've ridden all three of the ones built and they all to me felt very similar. They can be pretty rough but you do get back to the station just going "Wow! What the heck just happened?". I just...

    Milestones in Your Counts

    May quite a while to get to 1000! No plans for it to be anything in particular. I gave up on that idea long ago. It's just not worth trying to plan a particular coaster to be a milestone. Whatever I get to is what it'll be. Eg: For 900 it would have been nice to have been the new Fury at...

    Paultons Park | Tornado Springs | New Area | 2021

    Absolutely over the moon with seeing this announced. Sierra Sidewinder is a great family ride and it'll fit in with the collection at Paultons perfectly. I LOVE the style and concept for the area and the whole social media campaign so far has been amazingly thought through. Keep it going...

    Milestones in Your Counts

    The transitions on that are horrible to watch let alone ride. I remember thinking it didn;t look like it was going to make it back to the station when it got to the second half. Not a good ride at all.
