    I had an excellent weekend and thought it was a fantastic CF-Live with the largest turnout that I can remember for ages. :) Thank you everyone that made it an excellent weekend. :)

    Is there an unspoken rule for ride t-shirts?

    There is a rule, but I can't say it as to keep it unspoken...

    Shooting POVs

    By far your best bet for answers is to contact the parks directly that you are looking to film at. Professional POVs are usually done before park opening hours and with park management in attendance. If you're looking to just turn up at a roller coaster on your day out and try to plonk a...

    Coasterforce merch?

    I think CF rain ponchos would go down a real treat!

    How to not lose any lunch on a spinning ride.

    Ride the spinny stuff in the morning? Otherwise, I get motion sickness fairly easily, especially on simulators. I find motion sickness tablets (such as the Dramamine you mentioned, although you can't get that in the UK) work very well, and you also need to try and keep your head as still as...

    Injury on X-2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain

    I don't understand why or how this thread is still alive. :?

    Mitch Hawker 2013 Steel Poll

    FWIW, I had RRR at number 12 on my 2012 steel ballot. I thought it was a fantastic ride back in 2011.

    Madrid, PWM & PAM, 5-6 April 2014

    Thanks to everyone from CF and PAC for a phenomenal weekend. These international trips always seem to bring out the best of CF, and these last few days have been no exception! Trip highlights for me were: - Getting to meet the PAC guys. I perhaps didn't talk to as many as I'd like to have, but...

    Mitch Hawker 2013 Steel Poll

    G Force would be a good ride if the restraints didn't try to cut your body in half as you go around. This year was the first in many that I didn't take part in this poll. When going through my coaster list, I just find it really labourious trying to figure out which rides fit in the "Your...

    Rides at your home park that you've never been on

    I've never done Slammer, Detonator or Tidal Wave at Thorpe. I tend to stay away from drop towers and Shoot the Chutes, and Slammer just looks painful and nauseating.

    Favourite kind of dark ride

    I don't really have a "favourite type", as there are fantastic versions of each. Some of my 'stand-out' dark rides for things I could ride over and over again include the Towers of Terror, Mystery Castle, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter... So heavily themed rides that really tell a story, I guess.

    Do you care about your dark ride shooter score?

    I'd only ever remember a score if I got maximum points, which I've never had, so tend to forget my score almost instantly.

    Mitch Hawker 2013 Steel Poll

    I'd prefer if all coasters were listed separately, to be honest. I know if I like Wild Mouse Y more than Wild Mouse Z, but having to browse through RCDB trying to work out who made both of them is a massive pain in the arse really. Plus, if you're goony enough that you know the manufacturers...

    Pancakes

    I've never understood how people can eat things like bacon and eggs with their American pancakes. It's just weird. I do enjoy British pancakes (crepes), but they're a pain in the ass to make.

    Theme Park Studio - to be released 27th Feb

    The two main things I noticed when I saw this on the CF Facebook page the other day where how fiddly the controls look, and how CPU intensive it looks. My bog standard integrated graphics on my laptop have no chance of running a game like this. Plus, the beauty of RCT was its simplicity; this...

    Australia PTR - Part 4: Sydney & Luna Park

    Re: Australia PTR - Part 3: Sea World Sounds like you had a better time than me at Sea World! Sea Viper was also down for a "period of extended maintenance" when I visited a couple of years ago, so has it actually been open since?

    Jungle Cruise, Jaws, Etc. Awful?

    I really enjoy these types of attractions. I love a good cheesy joke, and I always spot new things each time I ride each one (well, unless there is so little to the ride there's nothing to see anyway, like Zufari). Of course, it can be fairly dependent on the ride op at the time, and if you're...

    What type of underwear do you prefer? (Male version)

    I prefer briefs, but this topic is a load of pants.
