Great reports! I've already heard most of your thoughts directly from you, but it's still nice to read them all here. It's one hell of a trip!

Other than Nemesis, there's really nothing great. I voted Galactica because I loved the novelty of a good flying coaster, but I guess once I ride better ones it will be less special. Dragon's Fury closely follows. I wasn't that impressed with Stealth's launch.

I'll never understand the popularity of Marvel. A few exceptions aside (Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men), it's so mindnumbingly boring and cliché. The humour is forced, they're way too long and the action has nothing at stake, making it very pointless and dull. I'm not going to watch this...

Isao Takahata, the co-founder of Studio Ghibli has died at age 82 :( He has made wonderful films such as Grave of the Fireflies, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya and Only Yesterday. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/apr/06/studio-ghibli-co-founder-isao-takahata-dies-aged-82

Hah, I always think of the Maiden song when I see the Wicker Man. I also discovered my fave band (Nightwish) thanks to CF. Shame about the Wicker Man spite though.

My faves are Vliegende Hollander, Wodan, Black Mamba and Helix (I just love the atmosphere and music, it always pumps me up for the ride). Worst (ugliest) queue used to be Race to Atlantis at Phantasialand, but that's gone now.

According to the Looopings article, the CEO said it won't be a small coaster, but it also won't be huge and super intense. If this is true, I'm expecting something Juvelen-ish in terms of intensity. A family thrill coaster maybe?

Phantom Thread - What was that? Two hours of my life I won't get back. Great music, acting and filming but other than that it was completely pointless and boring.

The best picture nominees I've seen ranked from fave to least fave (I'm watching the Post and Phantom Thread this week somewhere). Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Just a great, high quality film. It didn't blow me away completely, but it has great writing and acting. Not much to fault...

Liseberg for a combination of quality and quantity. Mechanica, Loke, Uppswinget, Atmosfear and even Jukebox are all great flats. Not a fan of sky fly/rollers but Aerospin is my fave of them, if only for the view. Phantasialand only has two major ones but they are of high quality. Talocan is...

I hope it's different enough from Gold Rush, otherwise I'm not particularly excited for it. Because it would just be a harder to reach version of Gold Rush to me. But it's a great investment for Bobbejaanland. If it's anything like Gold Rush, it will be the best coaster in the park by far...

Benelux + Phantasialand/Movie Park is turning into quite a great area for coasters and parks and I live pretty much in the middle of it <3 So happy

Well, that was unexpected........

I'll have to add my recent Winter Phantasialand visit as one of my highlights of the year. Absolutely perfect visit. The best I've ever had in Phantasia. We were there for two days, staying at hotel Matamba. It was very quiet and all the coasters were in top form. We got 13 rides on Taron...

The Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi A New Hope Revenge of the Sith Rogue One The Last Jedi The Force Awakens Phantom Menace Attack of the Clones

Yeah, sorry. I was on page 8 when I typed that and didn't realise there was a page 9 :p But I couldn't be bothered to delete the post.

Do you remember any of the characters in say Dunkirk? I don't think a film needs memorable characters to be good. Also, I don't think suspense about an ending is a necessity. Yes, we roughly knew how Rogue One would end, but why would that be such a big problem? Isn't a film about the journey...

A lot of people say that the first drop is the only good thing about the Big One, but I thought it was just awful. Especially towards the back.

Oblivion's drop is nothing special. I actually prefer Baron's. The Big One's first drop is the worst first drop of any coaster I've done
