Re: ACCIDENT At Dreamworld Australia! its just so heart breaking for all involved - such a sad needless waste of life While as enthusiasts we are skeptical and critical of how the media jump on theme park accidents particularly in the UK post the Smiler crash, the bottom line is 4 people went...

Thanks for the heads up - I'll hopefully catch a few of those during my trip - I did quite like the look of Slotzilla just for the cheesyness factor so might try to catch it as well!

I'm off to Vegas next month and I was just trying to figure if there's any rides there actually work bothering about? I was having a look on YouTube and the Stratosphere rides at the top don't look like anything special and the coaster at New York New York looks very average at best, so is...

For me it has to be first trip to Portaventura with my girlfriend - she'd never been on a roller coaster or to a proper park before and our first two rides were on Bacco (before it was super rough) and on Hurakan condor and her reaction to both was priceless - sheer shock on bacco and she loved...

I was at Portaventura last week and construction seems to be to be well underway now with lots of ground work happening on the site. They've a Ferrari F1 car sitting on a stand just after the park entrance to promote the new park and a new sign outside the ticket booths to show where the new...

Not a TV program to be fair, but the BBC had a random article on coasters and the future of thrill rides on their site today which may be of interest - nothing too specialist or that will be news to the average enthusiast, but worth a look – has a few interesting points around costs being the...

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 I was at the park on Monday and have to agree with those who say the photos dont do this ride justice - Ive seen pretty much all of the pics and videos posted of the ride to date and was still taken back by the scale of it when I saw...

The average non-enthusiast would probably struggle to know a coaster by its name even if they have one in mind probably depends on what country your in but Big thunder mountain has to be pretty close to the top of the list...... I knew of it before I'd ever been to a park or ridden a coaster of...

26 times!! - did you have to queue each time!?

The ride does really seem like a major weak link in Thorpe - I guess they are just trying to squeeze another few years out of this ride before having to spend on replacing it but seems to have been a slightly half baked refurb would be kind interesting to see what could replace this ride in...

Its Hurakan Condor for me.... I don’t usually get any fear, just a buzz of anticipation with coasters but Drop towers scare the crap out of me, especially Hurakan Condor Although I think much of that fear with it in particular came from the first time I rode it and ended up on the side with...
