I've cancelled mine. F*** 'em. Sick to death of it, I was. £164 a year to be force fed the Establishment's fearmongering and propaganda on a daily basis, while at the same time subsidising the massive salaries and over inflated egos of dickheads like Gary Lineker, Greg James, Naga Munchetty...

Shout out to @Serena for coming up with this idea. It began at the CoasterForce Live at Thorpe Park last month. In true CF style we all had goony name badges with our number 1 coaster written on them. Mine is currently Steel Vengeance, everybody knows that, but Serena had Intimidator 305 as...

It all began way back on the Monster Raving Goony Party, last year's triumphant Sweden run: "This has been awesome" we said, "where should we go next?" "Quite fancy Phantasialand in the new year" said @Mushroom , "I need to get on FLY, plus, y'know... Phantasialand in the winter!" Just an idea...

See... 'Monster' because that's the name of the new B&M invert at Grona Lund, 'Monster-raving' because we all really liked it and 'Goony party' because this was a bunch of CF'ers larging it in Sweden for a long weekend. Geddit? Quite pleased with that title, I must admit. 😁 First of all, the...

Why the Curse of Sandman, you ask? Well because the guy's a jinx, that's why. Josh the Jinx, that's what we'll call him from now on. Every time I go on a trip with @Sandman , bad shizzle goes down, from minor inconveniences and narrow escapes to full on catastrophes that scupper the entire trip...

Simple one: What's the loudest, noisiest coaster you've ever been on? And I wonder if there's any official data on this? Decibel level must surely be a health & safety issue, as well as an environmental issue, are there any actual limits in place with regards to noise levels? Anyways, I reckon...

Believe it or not, I don't think this poll has been done before. Couple of old TTD v KK threads here: http://www.coasterforce.com/forums/threads/top-thrill-dragster-vs-kingda-ka.30087/ And here: http://www.coasterforce.com/forums/threads/kingda-ka-vs-top-thrill-dragster-which-is-better.7666/...

Ahh yes, ranking threads. We all love 'em. But let's do something different; instead of just compiling lists of coasters and parks that everybody posts in but nobody actually reads, let's talk about some of those old CoasterForce trips we've all been on and reminisce about some of the...

If you thought the Boomerang/SLC list topic was shameful enough, let's see who's brave enough to post in this thread of utter shame. For clarity, let's keep it specifically to Wacky Worms. If we include Go-gators, ovals and all other manner of kiddy crap we'll be here all day. You know the kind...

It all started with a cheap flight to Eindhoven. 18 quid it was. Boom, I'll have me one o' them, I thought. Originally, before you-know-what happened, the plan would have been to shimmy on down to Phantasialand to check out that new flying contraption. I forget what it's called, but you know the...

Yeah yeah I know, stand alone zoos aren't traditionally covered in Trip Reports, but these are not traditional times, man, and we have to take whatever we can get. So, Chester Zoo it is, then. As expected, tickets are pre-book only, all of the indoor exhibits are currently unavailable and the...

Stole this idea off of that Rumney fella who posed the same question on the PBE Facebook page last week. How many of you, as the title suggests, have coaster or park themed screensavers and backgrounds on your phones, tablets and PC's? Judging by the previous response, I'm guessing that will be...

We're currently about 12 days into this trip, with 6 more left to go. Well, I say 6, it might be a few more, what with Thomas Cook going tits-up and all that, our current status is officially 'stranded in the USA', but we're not gonna worry about that for the time being. There's worse places to...

So here's a section of the forums I don't delve into very often; the Halloween and Scare Attractions topic. And there's a very good reason for that; I don't do Halloween and scare attractions. Or do I? See, a couple of years ago I stumbled across some of @Lofty's ramblings about something called...

After the humiliating debacle that was the 'Rank The Star Wars Movies' thread, I could be opening myself up to a whole load of fresh abuse here, but what the hell. I'm a big boy, I can take it. Now there are 2 ways of going about this; you can be all high-brow about it if you want to, and start...

This news is a couple of days old now, surprised nobody has posted anything. Seems as though another pendulum ride has broken apart in Karachi's Askari Amusement Park. 1 girl killed, 25 injured. Pretty horrific. Polite warning: The article below contains the aftermath of a tragic accident at a...

Right then, what are your thoughts on IMAX cinemas? Expensive gimmick, or the ultimate presentation format? Have you seen an IMAX film? If loads, what was your first one? Did you enjoy it? Does viewing a film in IMAX enhance the experience in any way? Does your town even have an IMAX theatre? A...

I'm bored. Indulge me. Behemoth, anyone? Intimidator? How about Wicked Twister? Speed of Sound? Splash Landings :D I'm sure there's plenty more...

Two coasters, both of which are widely regarded as among the best in Europe, some say the world. One is made by Mack, the other is made by Intamin but both of them have two launches, both are approximately 4400ft long, both have twisty, terrain style layouts, they both have cool, IMAscore...

Ghosterforce 2017 happened last week, you may have noticed. Thing is, I went to Heide Park and Hansa Park only last year and as good as they are, I couldn't really justify going again so soon. Phantasialand and Movie Park however, hadn't been to either of those so it was definitely worth going...
