I know right, I thought mentioning it was a safe bet here but I've opened a can of worms! 😂 Get your final predictions in before tomorrow! I just hope it's something substantial, not too short, fun and highly re-rideable (so no weird gimmicks or roughness within a year or two).

Ok guys calm down, it was just an example of a popular coaster of that ride type. Didn't mean literally build a clone with all the theming. Knew I shouldn't have waded into this thread. 😂

I can't see Merlin going for an RMC somehow. They seem a bit violent considering their aversion to lapbar inversions. I can imagine loads of people complaining that it's too violent or not very re-rideable. I know they work elsewhere but I just can't see it. I'd be happy with any of the...

Thanks for your insight! Carters are great, they've been doing wonders for the vintage ride scene recently!

Interesting. I've never heard a bad word about Littleboys until now. They seem to end up with all the old rides so hopefully they're having less issues with everything else that's been through them. @dj-fireball999 is there anyone you'd recommend for this type of work who you think is better? I...

Managed to rank 50 but I'd say the last 30 or so we're just a collection of rides I like about the same amount but it's nice to give some voting weight to all the coasters outside of the usual top 10 crowd that are still great. In terms of new coasters Kondaa, RTH and F.L.Y all featured.

Shame, I was hoping they'd sell it so I didn't have to get fomo from not wanting to ever visit this place.

I did but the forum still won't let me post photos so just visualise it. I also found a pen and filled in my worksheet so also visualise that! The Karen one cracked me up haha. My funniest moment on Sunday was the random guy who complimented Serena on her wig holding skills! 😂

Firstly I'd like to say that I had a really good time and it was lovely to see so many people I hadn't seen in ages and meet new people! I definitely made the "nature is healing" joke to someone over weekend because CF lives were finally back! I was expecting it to feel a bit different because...

If I finish my costume by then, then yes! I think a number of people have costume plans!

I'm not on the list but I'm coming to Chessie and Thorpe.

Booked my ticket for Trailers yesterday! Too retro to miss! 😂

Costume supplies have been acquired! We shall see how that goes! Who else is dressing up for Thorpe? (Also a reminder that I still have a chessie ticket that needs a home! 😇)

I have a spare chessie ticket at the 2-4-1 discount price (and parking) going as I caved and bought a MAP so I can be fancy. I have checked with merlin and it's fine for someone else to use. Pm me if interested!

I had a glance over the waiver and there's a section about halfway down that is somewhat concerning amongst all the stuff you'd expect. "THE UNDERSIGNED recognize that seat belts are required on the ZIP LINE/RIDER, HAUNTED MINE DROP, GLENWOOD CANYON FLYER SWING, ALPINE COASTER, and/or GIANT...

Maybe we could do optional spooky themed outfits or accessories on the chessie day? 🎃

@chainedbanana and I have chessie and creepy caves tickets. Not decided which mazes to do at Thorpe yet so will sort that in due course.

Exciting! Can't wait to finally take part in some of the old CF rituals!

It looks similar to some of the pieces here: It's hard to articulate how horrible this all is. What an absolute nightmare scenario. Hope the injured guest pulls through.

Does the fancy dress have to be characters that started off in games (e.g. Mario, Lara Croft, Sonic etc) or can it be franchises that have games secondary to them (e.g. Harry potter, Lego, Star wars, etc etc)? Don't mind not being counted in the competition. Edit: Also noticed, as a heads up...
