    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    The park have handled this terribly. Its a shame they couldn't keep it open for its 20 years and give it a send of it deserves.

    Energylandia | Choco Chip Creek | Vekoma Minetrain | 2024

    Seems hours have been cut an hour too, previously 11-7 now 11:30-6:30. Shame about the reduced coaster lineup, but doesn't surprise me. It was an absolute ghost town when I went back in 2022.

    Plopsaland + Parc Asterix

    Day 2 - Parc Asterix Next up was Parc Asterix. A big bucket list park for me, and it didn’t disappoint. It was quite pricey at €62 for entry and €20 for parking. The park had their halloween event on which I didn’t look into at all before visiting, as I was mainly going for the coasters...

    Plopsaland + Parc Asterix

    Last week I decided to do a couple of European parks for the first time, Plopsaland and Parc Asterix. Ride To Happiness has been high on my bucket list for a long time and I've always wanted to do Asterix, especially since Toutatis opened. I looked at a few different options, originally I was...

    WTF Merlin?

    Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think this is from an official Towers app so they don't deserve the credit for this, I believe this screenshot is taken from https://ride-times.co.uk/ which is from the creators of https://queuetimehub.com/ Towers actually actively go out of there way to...

    YAY Merlin!

    Completely agree with this. Thorpe has been gradually improving the last few years but this is one of my favorite seasons since I started visiting around 2011. I do also worry about the future though. With Chessington having midweek closures and hours cut, Towers having staggered openings and...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Update from the park to confirm it won't be open this Saturday. SAW is now back open which means the crane is no longer required, and good news that'll start testing soon. Hopefully won't be too long now!

    Couple updates from today

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I'm gutted for Thorpe it had to close after a day. After such a successful opening and running flawlessly pretty much all day Friday this is a big blow for the park. I got told by an operator the shutdowns on Friday were mainly due to issues with the gates which were tripping the ride out...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    So I went yesterday afternoon, got to the park for 1:30 and managed to get on Hyperia twice and the rest of the park. Easily one of the best days I've had at Thorpe in years, such a great atmosphere even right up until 10:30pm. I'll share my thoughts later on. I am absolutely gutted for...

    Blackpool please beach + Flamingoland April 24

    Another park I'd never visited was Flamingoland, so I visited last Friday for the first time. Where I can, I always try to visit theme parks when they're quiet so I've seen a lot of quiet theme parks (BPB the day before for example) but never have I ever seen a park so dead before. According...

    Blackpool please beach + Flamingoland April 24

    A bit criminal of me but I'd never visited Blackpool pleasure beach. Always been a bucket list park for me from a young age due to their wide selection of coasters, a lot of which are very unique. I visited last Thursday for my first ever time so I thought I'd share my thoughts. Heard lots of...

    YAY Merlin!

    They've been doing a lot of planning in the background and say they have plans in place. I believe they will be releasing a video in the coming week to explain all the details for opening day

    YAY Merlin!

    Nope just extended Friday and Saturday to 8pm so far. Sunday and Monday have remained at 6 but they said they will monitor pre-books and sales on them days

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    That is really odd - I went last Friday and they were sending Sik with me being the only one on the train, so I don't believe there is a minimum number for them to send the train. Kumali was different, had to wait for a minimum of 6.

    What is the most surprising airtime moment you’ve experienced in your enthusiast career?

    My most surprising was Colorado Adventure Phantasialand - I knew nothing about this coaster and didn't expect to be thrown out of my seat multiple times 😆

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    Not a horrendous name, but will always be Nemesis to me
  18. Callum

    What makes your #1 better than your #2?

    I rank Kondaa over Nemesis due to the airtime and the first drop. It's the first coaster since riding Nemesis that completely blew me away like Nemesis did the first time riding, couldn't stop smiling on the break run. Its a complete package, I love the station, the train design, the...

    Milestones in Your Counts

    50 - Montu - Busch Gardens 100 - Silver Star - Europa Hit 100 October last year, was expecting a lot from my first B&M hyper but was very disappointed after my first ride 😆

    Good elements on bad coasters

    I've never been the biggest fan of SAW but I've always loved the drop at the end after the final MCBR. Always flies through that final MCBR
