    Mitch Hawker 2013 Steel Poll

    I've submitted mine! My top ride was Nemesis, and the bottom was Infusion - nothing surprising really. ^^ I notice G Force is your second bottom. That's a shame, it looks like an intriguing ride to me. I will probably ride it later this year.

    Worst queue?

    The worst queue for me has to be Rita. With queue skips, it's boring, but at least it's short. Without them, it's a horrible, endless twisting mess of switchbacks with nothing interesting in them. Not to mention the fact they're full of litter (no bins) and no shade. TBH, Rita as a whole isn't...

    Best Coaster Turns/Turnarounds

    Defiantly second the Shamhala and Nemesis turnaroudns - but TBH every single element on Nemesis is amazing in both placement and intensity. One nobody has mentioned is the turn-around on Goliath at Six Flags Great America - looks great - especially on a WOODEN coaster :--D

    Las Vegas Adventuredome | El Loco | S&S El Loco

    To be honest, the beyond vertical drop, on Mumbo Jumbo at least, isn't as fun as it looks, especially as it's trimmed. Or maybe my anger after waiting in a 30 minute queue due to poor operations affected my enjoyment of the ride. Certainly wasn't as fun as I thought it was last time I visited. :|

    New look for RCDB

    Still getting used to it. I can say for sure that the photo viewer is great, though. It does look a bit like a mobile skin blown up to desktop size however (I'm sure it's perfect on tablet). And it doesn't even work on my mobile :cry: . All the content is still there though - so I'm fine :--D

    How many death creds do you have?

    I've only been on one: Treetop Twister at Lightwater Valley. Fun ride, actually.

    Amusement Parks that leave you feeling dissappointed

    Flamingo Land. Went a few days ago, and they just don't seem to "care". Rode Hero, fun ride, but it feels tacky. Two rides were enough for me. Waited half an hour for Mumbo Jumbo because they only ran two cars (and one had test dummies in the back). Kumali's second train was gone (not even on...

    Are people put off by ride accidents?

    I don't think anybody who'd normally ride a roller coaster is ever put off by accidents. If I point accidents out to people, they just tell me not to mention it, then they enjoy the ride.

    Alton Towers nver built famous woodie

    When I went, the gardens were empty, apart from people following the marked route. The only reason I was there was (like everyone else, I suspect), because they hadn't tried the SkyRide yet, which was much quicker. With the entrance price as high as it is, surely nobody goes just to visit the...

    Most Anticipated Coaster of 2014?

    Mine is Helix at Liseberg - It's long, twists through the trees and has inversions + airtime.

    Worst coasters you've ridden (Bottom 5/10)

    The worst ride I've been on is Infusion at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, however that might be because it was the last major roller coaster I hadn't ridden, so I'd already received seven lots of rough, shaky coasters. What makes it especially bad is the OTSRs - They're huge! Corkscrew at Flamingo...

    What do you think of Flying Turns?

    (First post - Yay :--D ) Haven't been on it, but it looks like a good ride. Not because of the ride experience, but because it brings back a long-lost type of roller coaster.
