I've been to EP many a time but have never had cause to use their lockers. I'm going back next Friday (unexpected visit) but I'm going straight from the airport to meet a friend there, so basically what I want to know is are there decent-sized lockers there? I need to be able to leave my hand...

Another BPB-related question. Does anyone know if the Gold Mine is currently operating? I love dark rides and was disappointed to find it closed last year (the only time I've been to Blackpool). I'm going back in a couple of weeks' time and and would love to be able to ride it. The website has...

I'm going to BPB with a friend on the weekend of 10/11 September and remember last year (went August last year I think) we managed to get a 2-day pass which cost, I believe, around £40 each. At the moment, however, when booking tickets on-line the website asks you how many days you want to come...

We went to Scarefest on 16th and 17th (opening weekend) and had a thoroughly good time. This was my first year at Alton's Halloween event, as I usually do Fright Nights since it's much closer. I've tried to keep this reasonably spoiler free but there might be the odd one or two lurking in my...

Saw a poster yesterday for Putney Heath Fair, which runs from 22nd - 31st October. Anyone been before? It's advertised as having 'two full size rollercoasters' and unlimited wristbands only cost £6.99. According to the poster it's one of Europe's largest travelling fairs. I believe the poster...

This may have been covered but I can't find it anywhere. Has the strength of the trims on Thirteen's first drop been increased at all recently? I may be imagining it (probably am) but I don't remember noticing them so much when I went on it in March, but at the weekend I really noticed them...

I made it to LWV for the first time ever today, and was rather surprised/disappointed by the way the Ultimate was being run. For the whole day, the back third of the train was full of petrol cans and no-one was allowed to sit there. What on earth is the reason for this? Does it somehow save...

What do people think of on-board audio on roller coasters, and what roller coasters are there with this feature? I've experienced it twice (Vogel Rok, Efteling and Terminator Salvation, SFMM) and found it really added a great deal to the ride, made Vogel Rok more magical and helped make...

What on earth has happened to this ride? Over the years it just seems to have been left to rot, and now, in what seems like the final nail in the ride's coffin, it's permanently run with the lights on. Now, I've never been a huge fan of this ride (always found it a little bit of a let down)...

What decent enclosed coasters are there left in the UK and how likely is it that we'll see a new one any time soon? I love dark coasters, and really miss the Black Hole, and am sad I never got to ride Blackpool's Space Invader. I think X:\ No Way Out is dire, though. So, what decent dark...

I went on Valhalla for the first time a couple of weeks ago and have been told that rarely do all the effects work, so I was just wondering whether I may have missed out on any. I rode it 3 times over 2 days and noticed the following minor differences between each ride: - On one ride the...

Out of interest, does anyone know how high Valhalla's highest (i.e. second) drop is? I read somewhere that it's 85 ft but that puts it at the same height as Tidal Wave at Thorpe and something tells me it's not quite that high, although I may be wrong.
