The pic Sue posted is a KMG Experience which is a great ride but can be very intense as I discovered the first time I went on one. I think I had to sit down for a moment afterwards :) The photo Alex posted is a Tivoli extreme orbiter which is a great ride and can be very forceful :) This...

If Saw was still smooth like it was when it first opened then I'd probably go for that but seeing as it's got very rough and Thirteen is just bad, then I think I'll go with the majority and say neither! :D

I went to see Matilda the Musical recently and it was fantastic - I highly recommend it, especially as there's a great cast and the songs are by one of my favourite comedians - Tim Minchin :)

Here are some of my choices :D Inverted: Montu - Busch Gardens Flying: Manta - Seaworld Wood: Balder - Liseberg/Colossos - Heide Park Launched: Blue Fire - Europa Park/Superman Escape - Warner Bros Australia Dive Machine: Oblivion - Alton Towers

I agree, the Alpen Hotel is awesome! :D

Air's miles better than Bling - it's a fantastic ride that doesn't disappoint. All the rides I've had on it so far have been brilliant :)

Here are some of my highlights of this year :D 1. Liseberg - Awesome park and Balder didn't disappoint either! 2. Grona Lund - Also a fab park and I loved the almost ingenius ways they manage to fit their rides in. Twister was another great woodie I did this year and both Swedish parks are...

That'll be Air, the Zierer Star Shape :D - which is an amazing ride and I'm very glad it's at Winter Wonderland. I had a fantastic ride on it today and will be going back for more at some point! I had a really good day today - the Carousel Bar was one of a number of highlights as well as Air...

When I went to FL, I didn't encounter any pinning issues but maybe it was a once off :D The only occasion I can think of where I've been squashed into a restraint was one time at Alton Towers when I decided to queue for the front row of Air. Unfortunately the ride op chose to close the...

I went yesterday and nothing's changed on the ride apart from the roughness. It was pretty painful and even Colossus seemed smooth in comparison! :D

Also on a Thorpe theme, I never bother with Slammer as it's just awful but it's a good spectator ride!

Flat ride - Probably a KMG tango, mainly for the restraints because they really aren't that comfortable although the ride itself is good! Also a Crazy Train - I only went on it once and that was enough! Coaster - Difficult but I'd probably have to go for a Toboggan which isn't pleasant at all :D

I've been on Insane and it certainly lived up to its name although I thought it was really good and definitely one of the most unusual coasters I've ridden.

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits According to the Rides Database website, Euro Coaster is made by Reverchon :) http://www.ridesdb.com/db/ride.php?ride_id=507 I agree though, it is an unusual coaster but I quite enjoyed it :D

Re: 2011 Update - Twister - Grona Lund :D

I've often been to parks on my own and it's still good fun even though it's just me, but I also love going with other people too as I have done a bit of that recently with my trip to Sweden. I guess it's nice to do both! :D

Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits I went on Insane last week and it's definately one of those weird coasters but it was great! :D

You also can't beat a bit of Euro Mir - simple but awesome and very catchy :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqQEVxMqWds

I also collect park maps as souvenirs and have thought of framing some but I haven't got round to it yet!:D

I'm really excited as I'm going to Grona Lund and Liseberg next week :D
