    Your Least Common Opinion?

    I remember a ride operator at Thorpe Park telling us detonator had stopped and maintenance were on the way, and then proceeded to drop us. That was the best one I've had!

    The Rig - A roller coaster on an offshore oil rig?

    Even this has more of a chance of being built than the London Resort

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    That's probably because Disneyland Paris is a well know park, its easy for people to draw comparisons to. If they said this was the next big resort since Engergylandia the GP wouldn't really understand what they meant. Hence all the press headlines claiming it to be London's Disneyland to...

    Who are some of your favourite Planet Coaster content creators?

    Silvarret is definitely my favourite content creator, no matter the game he will always create something spectacular. Masked bandit Also has some really good stuff, you just have to be patient as some of his projects can take a long time to get finished. in terms of a series though, Planet...

    Oblivion - Misleading “Drop” Stats?

    While we're picking at things thought I'd be the one to say that it isn't technically a vertical drop either, only 88.5 degrees as B&M had yet to develop their sprung wheels.

    What is going on with Thorpe park?

    Recycle the same events from this year, close but not remove another flat ride and possibly paint a fence. Fence painting is highly unlikely though.

    Legoland Windsor | LEGO Mythica | Flying Theatre

    Got a chance to get on it today, not my favourite flying theatre but it's not bad. It's got a fun film to go along with it but it doesn't have the same flying feeling that Soarin or Voletarium give you. They've put some thought into the theming and the surrounding area, but the main attraction...

    WTF Merlin?

    Bit of a joke at Legoland today, feels like we're being forced to buy their coke freestyle bottles. Lots of the refreshments kiosks have been gutted to house the machines, and half of the remaining drinks shops are closed. Even trying to use a vending machine to get a bottle of water is...

    Ride that is better at night?

    Im not a massive fan of this coaster in the day, its just a bit meh. But I did really enjoy it in the dark during fright nights, not only is the coaster more fun but the area also looks awesome.

    Theme park soundtracks that get stuck in your head

    Chiapas will always be my favourite theme park soundtrack, especially the part from the backwards disco tunnel. As for the UK it would have to be the theme for Haunted house Monster Party at Legoland.

    Are the seats on Colossus particularly small?

    I have a height related issue with those trains. Due to the lack of leg space I usually struggle to bring the restraints down as they hit my thighs before they lock. Seems to be a common thing with the older Intamin trains as I experienced the same thing on EGF and Goliath.

    Obscure special effects

    The Yeti animatronic from Expedition Everest. Its been at least a decade since it was operational, and unfortunately it looks very unlikely that it'll ever work again.
