    Rank the Alton Towers coasters

    Agreed, I love Oblivion. It is a simple pleasure, but I love the drop amd it makes me nervous too.

    The Rig - A roller coaster on an offshore oil rig?

    Spookily enough I actually did design a Planet Coaster project called "The Rig", set on an oil rig about 8 months ago!

    Common theme park tropes that you aren't a fan of

    I agree with Gavin's new recruit storyline, that one is very tired. Also I'm in agreement with pop music in theme parks, I much prefer attraction or theme specific music.

    Rides at Your Local Park You Always Try to Ride?

    I'll ignore the obvious ones which I have to do at Thorpe Park (Nemesis Inferno, The Swarm, Stealth) and say that I love The Walking Dead The Ride and try to ride ot every time.

    Major Rides At Your Local Park You Always Skip?

    Thorpe Park: Saw and Colossus. Have ridden both, but find the resulting headache / nausea spoils the day. I'd rather just ride Stealth 3 times instead.

    Favourite theme park entrance experience?

    Good idea Best: Efteling - the Huis de Vijf Zintuigen building is incredible and is made better as it opens out onto Fata Morgana across the lake. Disneyland Paris - essentially same reasons as you gave above for Magic Kingdom. Worst: Chessington World of Adventures - I don't dislike the...

    As the predicted queue line ever been wrong and it's taken longer than the expected time ?

    Yes, frequently, because it takes a while to update things. If loads of people join a 45 min queue at one time, then the time won't update until a bit later.

    What are your thoughts on going backwards on coasters?

    I don't mind short bursts of it. I can easily tolerate rides like Expedition Everest, Revenge of the Mummy and Th13teen. However, larger sections make me feel rough. EuroMir at Europa Park I did not enjoy, and even Vekoma Junior boomerangs start to make me feel a bit dodgy, but I'd still ride...

    A Gerstlauer Infinity to be opened at one of the following Cedar Fair parks

    My friend's dog was taken on a walk by someone who worked for the park. I asked them and apparently upcoming Infinity coaster is called "Ruff Bark Bark". No word on which parks it's going to.

    Im a big idiot

    Always a good start to a fundraiser to enter the room and immediately insult every last person there. I guess I'll be going back to my tycoon park...

    Your worst spite

    I think he meant that none of yours were spites because you rode all the rides you'd listed. That is the opposite of a spite.

    2021 Golden Ticket Awards

    The fact that Valhalla, a ride which hasn't operated in 2021 at all, won best water ride of 2021 pretty clearly indicates what a farce this is.

    Stealth vs Oblivion; which of the UK’s one-trick coasters do you prefer?

    Don't apologise for the polls, I love them! Stealth for me as it's a great rush and it's the fastest launch I've done. Oblivion though is great. I love the build up and the drop is fantastic.

    Are B&M Hyper Coasters sub-par in the modern age of coasters?

    There's also a difference between the enthusiast reception to B&M Hypers and that of the GP. It does seem that the GP reception to then is very favourable.

    CoasterForce’s Favourite Dutch Rollercoasters

    /\ Perhaps some of that comes down to how many more people have ridden Joris compared to Troy?

    Baron does a better job of being about the drop than Oblivion

    Of the 4 dive coastersive done, despite being the shortest drop I found the build up to Baron's drop the most exciting, which in turn made it my favourite.

    What are your thoughts on sustained positive g’s/greying or blacking out?

    I am OK with brief bursts positive Gs but not a fan of long sustained G forces. I think Nemesis is around my limit, as I can ride it once and find myself a bit queasy after, but not to an extent that lasts beyond 30 mins or so. Manta made me feel dreadful! I much prefer airtime.

    CoasterForce’s Favourite Dutch Rollercoasters

    I've only done Efteling, so this is a short list: 1. Baron 1898 (track of Joris is better than Baron, but Baron is a better whole experience) 2. Joris en de Draak Vuur (both Joris coasters are top 10 for me) 3. Joris en de Draak Water 4. De Vliegender Hollander 5. Bob (RIP) 6. Vogel Rok 7...

    In your opinion, what's wrong with Derren Brown's Ghost Train, and why did it fail?

    Agree with much of what you've just said MouseAT. The truth is that the hardware just isnt good either. There's a lot of technical parts for what is essentially just VR, which at it's core is just not that fun or exciting. Also could not agree more...disco X was the best X.
