    Kings of the Sense of Speed?

    Space Mountain in Florida feels significantly faster than its meagre 28mph.

    Front vs Back?

    I'd say I prefer the back for most rides, but there are many for which I much prefer the front: - B&M inverts - Dive Coasters - some launch coasters - certain notoriously rough coasters

    Fårup Sommerland | Fønix | Vekoma | 2022

    I genuinely had no idea this was being built! It looks great

    Most relaxed and most stressful theme parks

    When Efteling is quiet it is easily the most relaxed day, however I agree with others that it can get absolutely rammed on summer Saturdays. Alton Towers can be rather stressful whilst trying to planout a day given the size of the place and how busy it gets. Paultons Park is very chilled.

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    I would go so far as adding that Joris is my favourite wooden coaster(s).

    Second best of the 6 Disney/Universal Orlando parks?

    I voted for Magic Kingdom, though actually it is my #1 and I just got outvoted last time.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I'm still excited 😊 It looks like nothing I've seen at any parks I've visited. Maybe it's a bit short, but so are Stealth and Oblivion and I love both of them.

    Your favourite and least favourite indoor coaster

    Favourite: Revenge of the Mummy - killer ride with a great theme and launch. Worst: Temple of the Nighthawk - legitimately nauseating. Meanderingly long ride with nothing to see in a tin that gets to hot. In the bin.

    What is your mentality towards riding kiddie coasters?

    Depends upon how 'kiddie' the kiddie coaster is. I would never ride a wacky worm or zieier tivoli, and would ride a jr vekoma if it's big enough (e.g. I wouldn't ride Barnstormer).

    Theme park music that makes you feel happy

    Any Efteling or Disney area music to start with. However, special mention to the naff 1970s sci fi music of Space Mountain and tomorrow land.

    Taron vs FLY; which Phantasialand launch coaster do you prefer?

    I see a lot of people talking about queasiness of FLY. I get motion sick on some rides, which is a bummer as an enthusiast, however I really want to try FLY. Is it really that bad? Are any rows better to avoid queasiness (e.g. Black Mamba in the back row made me slightly queasy - but not in a...

    Aren't the above examples simply lists of rides that are / were at those respective parks?

    What is the best relocated coaster operating today?

    Now that I think about it I think I've never actually been on a relocated coaster. The only exception would be Flying Fish at Thorpe Park, which has only been relocated within the park itself.

    Best and Worst Coaster Names?

    Agreed, as many have pointed out elsewhere the pun doesn't even work, as pandemonium is pronounced Pand-ah-monium, not Pand-ee-monium like Candy. I would like to nominate F.L.Y. for the worst names. Do the letter even stand for anything?

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    I genuinely thought it was a theming item, so it's cool to find out it was actually real.

    Defunct coasters you wish you could've ridden

    The track is still there, but I wish I'd ridden Space Mountain: De La Terre A La Lune at Disneyland Paris. I love that theme and missed out on riding it by 1 year when it became Mission 2. In terms of tracks themselves, I'd love to ride Big Bad Wolf at BGW.

    Theme parks that require a lot of walking

    Obviously all parks that are big require walking, however obviously special mention needs to be given for Alton Towers and Efteling for gigantic expanses containing very little and big gaps between major rides (even though they are both lovely walks).

    Most noteworthy park and coaster you haven’t done in your home country/state

    I've never done Blackpool Pleasure Beach. I live 6 hours drive away currently, but for 5 years I lived in Manchester and I never visited! Truth be told I wrote it off in my head as being really cheap and tacky. With hindsight it might be both if those things, but it also has a lot of rare or...

    Screens on dark rides; what do you think of them?

    I agree with this. When screens are all there is, or are done poorly they are horrible. For example I hated the screen sections of Forbidden Journey. However, Spiderman used them so effectively.

    What Started As A Matterhorn Question And Is Now A Merged General Discussion On What Counts as Coaster Credit

    If you move the original Nemesis it's a new cred at its new location, so I'm sure a brand new track counts.
