    Golden Ticket Awards 2012

    Whilst I don't take much notice of these awards either, I do agree with these :)

    Bank holiday rush - parks hit capacity

    On the flip side, I went to Fantasy Island yesterday because of it being the bank holiday weekend - I knew it would be busy and wanted to make sure I got on everything which I did. I didn't mind the crowds on this occasion and enjoyed my day :)

    The best drop towers in world

    These are my favourite drop towers in no particular order :) 1. Scream @ Heide Park - gyro drop which surprised me at how good it was and loved the rotating as we went up to the top. 2. Detonator @ TP - smaller in comparison but still able to thrill. 3. Atmosfear @ Liseberg - the height of...

    Best European parks with out a car

    I did Heide a few years ago now but I remember travelling by train from Hamburg :) Europa I flew to Basel and then a train from there - I think the owner of the guest house my friend and I stayed at picked us up from the nearest station after that but I think a shuttle bus operates too.

    Best European parks with out a car

    This has made me seriously think about doing a trip to Phantasialand as it's a park I've wanted to visit for some time. I've also done Heide Park & Europa Park using public transport and it was pretty simple as well :)

    Best Intamin Coaster?

    My favourite Intamin coaster would probably be a toss up between Superman Escape and Colossos - both are fantastic rides and have been in my top five for a while :) Also have to give an honourary mention to Balder which comes pretty high up too :)

    Gröna Lund: Twister, Insane and more!

    Thanks for the trip report - brings back good memories of when I went there last year. I thought Grona Lund was a great park and somewhere I'd love to go back to at some point :-)

    Enthusiast Annoyances

    People who can't accept that all enthusiasts have a difference of opinion - if we all liked the same things it would be a boring world :-) Also I agree about people who judge rides before they've ridden them - I like to approach with an open mind and then decide afterwards :)

    Rides you have fallen asleep on?

    Another Epcot story - I recall me and my three friends fell asleep for some of Ellen's Energy Adventure which apart from being a strange ride, was also pretty boring and probably one of the worst rides I've experienced.

    Do you enjoy greying out?

    I've never greyed out on a coaster or any ride for that matter but it's always interesting to read about the people it does happen to - mainly as I learn something new. The only peculiar experiences I've had is coming off a ride like a waltzer feeling dizzy due to the spinning cars.

    Worst Coaster you've been on

    The worst coasters I've been on would be: Miller's travelling coaster "Toboggan" - Only went on it once at Hull fair but it was enough :) Primeval Whirl at Animal Kingdom - terrible and not fun at all :D

    What is the Best Intamin Launch Coaster

    I've also ridden 6 and out of all of them I think my favourite is Superman Escape - a fab all rounder and has a really good pre-launch section.

    America's "highest" coaster opens

    It does look exciting - I'd definitely love to go on the other rides there too. Tbh, I drool over flat rides as well as coasters - Topscans being a prime example as they're my favourite flat ride :)

    Insane Flat rides

    I like Tangos too :) Initially I wasn't sure about them and thought what on earth were KMG thinking when they designed the restraints, however they've gradually grown on me and the last time I went on one, I had a rather good ride too :D

    Coasters that need a re-paint

    I reckon Dragon's Fury at Chessington could do with a freshen up :D

    Favourite Rapids Ride?

    Out of ones I've been on, I'd have to go for Popeye as well :) I also enjoyed Fjord Rafting at Europa Park and remember getting pretty wet on it too.

    Insane Flat rides

    Personally, I know them as a Twin Spin but there's also a similar ride called a Spinball, which is equally bad but does slightly different movements. Regarding the pic not showing, I've put in a different one which should do :) Also, I can't understand what the attraction is with a Crazy...
