    WTF Merlin?

    To be fair, I'd rather not look at the queue times for Alton Towers. I suppose it's the cheapest and quickest scare they're prepared to offer these days though.

    Accident at Gröna Lund - Jetline permanently closed update page 6

    These types of accidents are always the most shocking for me because they seemingly happen out of nowhere. I would assume that Grona Lund are a very competent park when it comes to the safety measures and checks they have in place. But the fact we've now had multiple similar incidents on these...

    When did your coaster count overtake your age?

    Most likely as a teenager. A trip to BPB and Alton Towers back then would have easily tipped my cred count past my age.

    Non-UK coaster most ridden by UK public?

    Disney is a good assumption but I also know a surprisingly high number of Brits have never stepped foot in a Disney Park. In fact, most people I know weirdly. And I know a lot who have been to Port Aventura. **** it, I reckon it's Space Mountain.

    Rebuild of Alpenexpress and Tiroler Wildwasserbahn Europa Park after major fire.

    You could have 3 simultaneous fires at Europa Park and they'd still boss Merlin in terms of ride availability and operations. Crazy.

    Rebuild of Alpenexpress and Tiroler Wildwasserbahn Europa Park after major fire.

    **** sake, not again. I hope all guests and staff alike are safe, and that damage is minimal. But, I'm not keen on that plume of black smoke. That could be quite extensive.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    The last thing we need is bloody vloggers suggesting upcharge gimmicks to Merlin. I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe. Oh how I ache for simplicity... just give me a good, old fashioned forward facing, fixed seat.

    WTF Merlin?

    Merlin really are their own worst enemies, aren't they?!

    Toverland's Expansion Plan

    Considering how this park looked around 2009, I'd say Toverland has had the biggest glow-up in recent times. They seem to make all the right moves and it shows. This should be a case study for Paultons.

    Which B&M coaster model is your favourite?

    As much as I love a big old B&M hyper, I'm forever an inverted fanboy (especially of the old school variety). My personal observations: - They're never horrendously rough, which can't be said about a lot of other old B&M coaster types. - Always some intensity packed into the layout somewhere...

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    I do want to like the new paint job but it's just not my cuppa. Hey, maybe seeing it in person will bring me round. I'm now more curious as to how much of an overhaul both the interior and exterior of the station is going to get.

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    11 years down the line and 53 pages later... why, oh why are we still here? 😢

    The Return of Nemesis Sub Terra?

    The entrance scaffolding is staying though, phew!

    Your Number 0 Coaster.

    Texas Tornado at Frontierland Morecambe. One of my earliest memories was my mother parking up to do her weekly Morrison’s shop and me sitting in the car patiently. All of a sudden, to my left I saw a train load of screaming riders whizz past and up an airtime hill (for those unaware, the ride...

    do we NEED to count credits?

    I counted creds up until 6ish years ago. Ever since then, my cred anxiety has vastly reduced and I generally find myself having a more relaxed, fun experience at parks. I couldn’t tell you how many creds I have now, and kinda love not truly knowing. The most important thing is that you...

    CWOA | Mandrill Mayhem (World of Jumanji) | B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    It's just so....???? That's all I can say

    Parque Warner Madrid | Gotham City Escape | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    When this and Toutatis were announced, I thought this one was going to be the most interesting. As construction progressed I thought they were both very intriguing and looked evenly matched on paper. Then I saw the off ride POV's and thought Toutatis might have it. Now I've seen both the...

    Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach to be refurbished for 2023

    I'm sorry but the first 5 seconds of that music are hideous, I'll never quite get it 😂
