I've often browsed this forum and been very impressed by the work done by CFers. So I thought I'd give it a go. I'm looking for criticism of my track work and shaping, and to a lesser extent realism of supports. I'm not too interested in scenery, colours and whether you enjoyed the layout...

I'm hearing through Facebook that there was a "major incident" at Alton tonight. A large fight and stuff being thrown and broken. Large police presence also. Was anyone there or know what was happening? Edit: Also heard that a guy was urinating in the Air tunnel... Seems like a risky place, I...

I just got back from Spain where I visited Parque Warner and Parque De Atracciones! I'll try and keep it short and sweet with some pictures to keepin interesting. I'll post about Parque Warner now and Parque De Actracciones a bit later, maybe tomorrow. Parque Warner We spent two days in...

Looks like I'm going to Madrid in may. Very nice. Any advice for Parque Warner? Queue times, food outlets, not-to-be-missed/must avoid things? All welcome, thanks.

Yup... not surprised. Legoland and building a Sealife next year. Probably in a tent like the Chessie one. They're advertising for divers: http://www.legoland.co.uk/About-LEGOLAN ... Vacancies/ Download the "Displays Curator" document for proof. Or:

I'm planning a holiday in the Netherlands. How many days would you recommend I spend in Efteling? Can it be fully enjoyed in one? Or does it really need 2 or even 3 days? I like to take it easy in parks and enjoy the scenery and many smaller attractions that give the place personality. I'm not...

I've been using an app called "Ride Hopper" (lite version) on my android. It's a user based queue time notifier. It's pretty neat but needs people at the parks to keep it accurate. For instance, sitting at home I can tell you that Saw is down and Colossus is queuing for 95mins. Pretty cool...

My girlfriend and I took our main holiday this year in The Black Forest. As enthusiasts we try to take holiday's near parks, but we're also very keen to see the area and have a proper holiday too. I'll keep most of the report down to the park, don't worry, but we stayed in a town called...

Posh crisps are all the rage... I like Red Sky. What do you like?

Hi everyone. I know you have been patient with people conducting research for assignments before and now it's my turn to pester you for information... http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XMZ3ZXS On the other side of the link is a short 10 question survey about musical instruments and online...

At the end of the month I'll be heading out to Germany for a well deserved holiday and a couple of days in Europa Park. So my question is simple, any advice? Things like what queues badly and when, what's worth avoiding or doing? Good places to eat? Anything else cool in the local area? Car...

... Google have been around it with their street view backpack like they did with a few American parks earlier. Thorpe Park EDIT: As pointed out by A-Kid and CCJared: Alton Towers Chessington

Thought of this general poll because a friend of mine had his first migraine yesterday whereas I've been getting them since I was 14. According to the NHS only 1 in 12 men get them, and 1 in 4 women. I am supprised at the male statistic, but maybe because I've been getting them so long that...

I was just think about those statistics Roomraider posted a while back and how Vekoma built 30% (or thereabouts) of coasters in the world. This got me wondering how this worked out practically for the CF community. So, go through your coaster count and tell us which manufacturer's rides...

Anyone seen this yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-DGbKOn1FI

Spotted this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A61055129 may be of interest to some.

We were bored. So the next day my girlfriend and I drove off with our tent to visit Oakwood, as we'd never been there before. We camped at a campsite owned by my girlfriends Aunt and Uncle which is about 45mins away from Oakwood.], called Plas-Y-Wern. I'm sure we could have got closer, but it...

I've just written a quite detailed and may I say funny account of my recent Lightwater Valley trip. Then lost it with reckless use of my F5 key! I really don't want to write it all again right now... so here is an abridged version: Went to Lightwater Valley. Had to wait for car park gates...

We arrived at Flamingo Land at about 9:20 and although the park wasn't advertised to open until 9:30, they let us straight in with our e-tickets. After a little wander around snapping photos we decided to go wait for Mumbo Jumbo to open, figuring a quick early queue. We were 4th and...

I experienced my first rollback yesterday on The Ultimate. Didn't quite make it to latching onto the second chain lift. We were sat there for a while before a JCB and a mini bus showed up, to drive us back to the station whilst the JCB towed the train up onto the lift. We were then given a...
