    Kumba v. Wildfire

    For me, Kumba blows Wildfire out the water. Granted, it was incredibly hot when I went to SDC and I was a bit weary from the heat, but I found Wildfire to be incredibly mediocre and a bit uneventful. Apart from the views it gave, it was an unmemorable and fairly meh ride, and I refused to ride...

    What is your most outrageous attempt at getting a Cred?

    The only attempt that comes to mind was on Vagones Locos at PdA Madrid. There was a grey cloud in the sky so most of the rides were closed apart from the kiddie creds. Knowing full well that you need a child to ride it, I queued up anyway and then acted confused and surprised when the ride op...

    Top 25 Favorite Movies

    I've always said I'm not a massive 'movie person', and there's a hell of a lot of big films that I've never watched, but when I think of my favourite films, these immediately spring to mind: The Truman Show Pleasantville Donnie Darko One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Forrest Gump Back to the...

    Ultimate Football XI - Your Team

    I must have been about 5 when I started supporting Manchester United, so my Man U XI since 1995/96 would be something like: GK - Peter Schmeichel RB - Gary Neville CB - Nemanja Vidic CB - Gary Pallister LB - Denis Irwin RW - Christiano Ronaldo CM - Paul Scholes CM - David Beckham LW - Ryan...

    Do you go to the cinema/theatre alone?

    I'm a bit like Furie here and much prefer to be with people if I go out somewhere. I tend to get really uncomfortable when I'm out on my own. Maybe not so much when I'm on a plane or train, as I can hide away in my seat easily, but I always feel weird walking around a theme park or eating in a...

    Splash Mountain Vs. Dudley Do-Right's

    ^ I've always thought that Dudley looks far more impressive from the view of the main drop. I'll have to go for Splash Mountain as well, though. Even though Dudley looks better and everything feels cleaner and fresher on it, Splash gives the better overall experience and immerses you into the...

    Splash Mountain Vs. Dudley Do-Right's

    Often regarded as two of the best log flumes in the world, Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls and Splash Mountain are must-dos for any complete visit to both Islands of Adventure and Magic Kingdom. But which one is better? Dudley Do-Right's Splash Mountain

    Pleasurewood Chills

    Even though I'm not a fan of "scare attractions", it sounds like they put on an excellent event that was enjoyed by all (although I would have liked to see a picture of Woody biting someone's head off :P). It's just a shame that they can't put this much effort in all year. My family went during...

    How do you deal with the offseason?

    Yes, this, definitely! Throughout university I always had cricket training and work to pass my time, but now I've finished and my cricket club doesn't start training until the new year, the only way I'm really passing my time at the moment is through TV and the internet.

    Sounds like everyone had a great time. Excellent video once again Andy! I'm gutted I couldn't make it. One year I'll make it to a GF again. :P

    The Smiler - your thoughts?

    I rode it again yesterday, but it had a delayed opening as they tested the ride a lot of times with water dummies. I don't know what the problem was. The ride hasn't changed at all from a few months ago. The first half is fantastic, with great pacing throughout, but as soon as it crests the...

    Nintendo / video games

    Angry Birds? Otherwise, I would guess it's because licensing is probably difficult to obtain and expensive. Although there used to be a Pokémon fun fair in Japan and Taiwan in 2005 and 2006. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokepark I'm sure Japan must also have other attractions themed around...

    Will Gerstlauer finally get it right with Infinity?

    I've always found Gerstlauers to be fairly hit-and-miss, and there is no exception with The Smiler as I thought half the ride was decent yet the second half complete crap. My favourite Gerstlauer is Anubis, but this opened the same year as Saw which is a very mediocre ride. I doubt this...

    Is Smiler's Inversion Record Strictly Canon?

    I swear the Guinness World Records used to count Eejanaika as having 14 "inversions", but looking at my collection (2003-2013 excl. 2012), Colossus has always been in the book. :? Smiler clearly holds the record. What difference does the number or lift hills make?
