We will get into AMS at 08:00am from Norwich and will go pick up a car rental I think, then our flight back will be 21:20 so we should have plenty of time for Bobbejaanland.

We've never done one of these before either but we'd be up for it. We'd be flying from Norwich then renting a car in Amsterdam so if anyone wants a lift from Amsterdam airport and doesn't mind sharing the price that'd be great! Is there any more info on this like when we meet or where do people...

Only one of these I agree with is Insane at Grona Lund, that thing is horrific and I never want to go on one again. Kingda Ka is a bit rough but near the front it's still an amazing launch and I love those top hats, Furious Baco is rough but I love it for how ridiculous it and unique it is, and...

What do they do with this? Do they tow it round the rest in stages or do they have some kind of motor they can run on the track to push it?

So I went on this a few times in 2016 and I could have sworn there was some kind of theming on the ride, with little lights and model trees on the floor to make it look like you were flying over villages in a jungle. At the time I was second guessing myself a bit but am I right in now thinking...

Yeah, that was a letdown, even by Merlin standards.

Could be nothing but people are taking this Instagram post from Alton Towers as a hint of a new water ride or something for Splash Landings https://www.instagram.com/altontowers/p/ByTAEFVIPyu/?igshid=nnd4jk44m5mg

And if you're going to do Europa it'd be rude not to do Holiday Park for Expedition GeForce as well!

Do we know when this is meant to open? We're heading there early August now.

It's been a while, and now I've been to Cedar Point, so time for a new top 10 I think. 1. Twisted Colossus 2. Top Thrill Dragster 3. Taron 4. Steel Vengeance (It's undoubtedly fantastic, but I just don't find the combination for seatbelts and really intense airtime that comfortable, so it's...

It's definitely worth it. Let me know if you have any questions about how we did the travel etc, that all went really smoothly. Main tips (most of which I got from here before we went): 1. Don't be tempted to buy a fast pass before you get there, the weather and queues are very unpredictable...

The Nemo attraction isn't that bad, it's a bit of cheesy fun, but the aquarium is really good for a little extra in the park. There's a really huge tank with some big rays in there and the people who go to feed them really interact with the people looking through the glass. I really like those...

So this was our first trip to Cedar Point, had been wanting to go for a long time but it's not the easiest place to get to from the UK! We ended up settling on going for Memorial Day weekend, flying direct from Heathrow to Detroit, then renting a car and driving to CP, staying at Hotel Breakers...

Maverick was a little less comfortable than I expected, I thought it was going to be like Taron, but for quite a small coaster it really throws you about. Enjoyed the forces and it has some of the best theming in the park. Steel Vengeance was awe inspiring. I've only done Twisted Colossus and...

Thanks for all the help people, had two days here now and it's been great, did end up waiting for a front seat for TTD for nearly three hours after it broke down then rained for ages (everything in the park shut) but had people to chat to so was fine. That Famous Dave's BBQ place was amazing...

Thanks for the advice everyone, off to the airport now so fingers crossed we manage to get on everything!

Yeah, we're staying at Hotel Breakers and have a ticket for all the days we're there so I guess we'll try to make the most of it, but it's looking like Monday is our best bet for rides.

Yeah that's what I'm worried about, not sure what we're going to do for the day if all the coasters are shut!

So we've finally made plans to get to Cedar Point this weekend (from the UK so this might be a once in a lifetime thing), and now on top of being Memorial Day weekend, it's looking like the Sunday is going be full of thunderstorms. Our only full days there will be the Sunday and Monday, so we're...

Twister at Grona Lund for me. It looks small and unassuming but was really fantastic and much more intense than I could have expected. One of my favourite wooden coasters and goes to show what can be done with a tiny footprint and not much height.
