    How Much do you Research a Park Before a First Visit?

    My Main thing I check before I go is the Following: Opening Times Ride Lineup How easy it is to get to If there is any other parks nearby Who will go with me :) I'm surprised how many people look at price when booking and look for any discounts. If its within my own country, I usually look for...

    Most Beautiful coaster

    Well I do apologise for offending, it was purely meant as a bit of banter. It's been a while since I regularly posted on a forum, and this is probably why. I was only saying what I thought as a bit of fun. I didn't realise it would cause an argument!

    ... and your point is :p I think we all see beauty in different things, I think that parks with lots of rides on top of each other because of the engineering... and engineering is beautiful!

    Most Beautiful coaster

    Tivoli Gardens- Rutschebanen, However I will give Jetline at Gronalund an honorable mention (I mean what can I say, I just love coasters that are in a mountain... or supposed to be!) I suppose its a thing with these European City center parks, They are so wonderfully kept!

    1st Time Disappointment!

    I'm just curios... but does anyone else experience a massive feeling of disappointment when they first ride a new coaster for the first time? Its something that really confuses me and hit me when I visited Liseberg last month with Helix. I think the problem is, you go into a coaster expecting...

    What is your favourite roller coaster manufacturer?

    ... I was just about to say Schwarzkopf, just for the pure reason that Anton was just mad! The engineering behind some of his rides is superb! I also really like the late (noticing a trend here) Big Country Motioneering. Again, they were mad enough to (attempt) to build the Ultimate at...

    Most upsetting cred removal

    For me it has to be all the old Schwarzkopfs from the UK. This is not because I have rode them and think that I would love to ride them again, but because I was too young at the time to ride them I haven't (god how I wish I was born 10 years earlier)! Would have honestly loved Towers and...

    Wildcat- Static Display Model

    Not that I post on here often (I'm a casual Lurker :p ), but I thought I would post some pictures of a Schwarzkopf Wildcat car I have built. It has been 3D printed, sanded and sprayed to get the best finish on it. It also has working headlights and working lapbars. I attempted doing the rear...

    Dreamland Margate News

    Well if you look at the Wacky Worm it is a rather famous model and must be the most produced type of coaster in the world... but yes, I thought the same when I looked at it! Can't wait to get down to Margate... It might be a next year job though :)
