Re: Leviathan - B&M giga coaster for Canada's Wonderland What is it about the look of a certain ride or element that gets the adrenaline pumping. This one is getting more interesting by the week.

Just spent the weekend before last in Blackpool... Friday 4th to Sunday 6th. It's been a few years since I've been up there & on arrival on Friday, lovely day, clear blue sky, very mild evening etc, took a long walk along the front thinking Wow, how much money have the local council spent on...

Re: New "world's first" coaster at Alton Towers 2013 I agree with you BBV, relatively few B&Ms I'd consider forceless, but there have been a good few that are a yawn fest. Seen it, done it, next...

Re: New "world's first" coaster at Alton Towers 2013 I don't really mind who builds the damn thing, so long as it's exciting! 13 was a massive let down, as was Saw & numerous other coasters recently built. B&M have created some brilliant rides, but some it has to be said, leave me cold &...

Re: "Wild Eagle" - B&M Wingrider for Dollywood 2012 A return trip to Dollywood is almost certainly a 'must do' for 2012. This ride has way more appeal than the rather depressing 'Swarm'. Log cabin rental, bearsn raccoons, great food, great park, fun rides too. Last years trip to TN was one...

Re: Leviathan - B&M giga coaster for Canada's Wonderland Never been to Canada before but 2012 may see a change there. Something about this ride is beckoning me, much like Timmy 305 did last year. The colours don't bother me too much personally, its all about the on ride experience for me...

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-15135716 Themeing ?

GA was once a really great park to visit, well I enjoyed anyway. I havent been there for something like 16 years or so, be interesting to see if new owners invest in some attractions that will make it worth the trip again.

& people say the Ferris Wheel is a ride that lacks excitement... glad nobody was hurt. Perhaps Thorpe Park should buy the remains & use it for themeing on their next rollercoaster?

Nic I stand corrected. Perhaps if they painted the boats a nice shiny brown it might actually work. Now wash your hands!

Perhaps they should have named it Flush. you can't polish a turd

Jeez! Grow up or go take a chill pill.

For me, theming is often a waste of time & money, with the exception of a dark ride type attraction of course. I'd rather they ditch the whole thing & spend the money allocated on the ride itself to make sure it's as big, long, intense... whatever it takes to ensure the ride experience is as...

I don't think it looks too bad, the speed I mean. Look at how slow X2 at SFMM looks compared to how it feels when you ride. This new ride obviously doesn't really compare in height or have the rotating seats but it could be an optical illusion & feel much faster than it looks. Having...

New Coaster Fab news for TP goers. It will be interesting to see what's actually going to be built. My money's on the wing style ride, simply based on the marketing angle. As an ex member of the TP mgmt team I know how things can change over the months / years from original concept...

Too long ago to remember but probably one of these three Wild Mouse Littlehampton Big Dipper Battersea Fun Fair Scenic Railway Dreamland Margate although I vaguely remember a really old kiddie coaster somewhere on the South Coast

TNTG Looking great! Cant wait to ride this one in June.

I was n Brighton on Sat 13th Nov & the ride was operating. Took a walk down the pier at around 7:30pm & considering there were probaly 12 people total at the ride end, most of the rides were lit but gates were closed, I watched this ride go 3 times, not sure if the riders were staff or...
