    The second photo could be Tiki Waka, love the funky profiling on this. Will be a great headliner for a small park.

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

    I’m currently attempting it on one train of four rows operating. Here’s the end of the queue, been here 20 mins so far and barely shuffled forwards. Edit - Took 75 mins in the end. After park close (at 4PM!) the queue went a lot faster when there was no fast track merge. The ride itself was...

    Rob I am so excited to read this trip report, what a year you’ve had hitting the foreign trips hard.

    I had a similar epiphany with Tulleys last year, been going every year since 2016 and while fantastic it’s the same thing every time. I just can’t face handing over seventy quid to go through The Cellar, Chop Shop, Cottage, Hellements, Coven, Island/Colony and the clown one for an eighth time, I...

    Do you prefer narrow or wide B&M Dive Coasters?

    I’ve been on 7 and my top two are Griffon and Sheikra so my vote goes for the wideys. Along with Intamin accelerators these are the only things that still make me nervous and give me that tentative feeling going up the lift hill. While there’s something a little bland about the layouts they’re...

    What does your Spotify pie chart look like?

    A few years ago I listened to pretty much just metal so this is nice to see confirmation I’ve branched out and blossomed my tastes. Still love metal though, it’s the only genre that puts fire in my belly and gets truly under my skin but I have to be in the right mood for it now.

    Thorpe Park 15th September 2023

    Walk on Stealth and a magnum in the sunshine, you're living the dream Matt. It's always nice when you have one of those 'this is what it's all about' epiphanies at a park. Glad Thorpe delivered and you had a great time matey.

    Very excited that this part of the theme park season is fast approaching. Tomorrow I'm flying to Los Angeles where I'll visit Universal Halloween Horror Nights, Knotts Scary Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain Fright Fest. Never been to any of these parks before and I cannot wait to be there...

    Tivoli Friheden | Vindfald | Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter | 2024

    It's a park where the current coaster headliner is a spinning wild mouse. Bring on the Eurofighter, great investment for the place.

    I found it a needless faff when I went last Wednesday (24th). The park was quiet and you could book slots up until around 4:30 and I believe the booking didn't close at any point in the day. I booked 5 slots throughout the day and the longest wait for the QR code was about 30 mins. Sometimes the...

    I rode Mandrill Mayhem at Chessington last week. The best way to describe the ride and area is everything is 6/10. There's nothing awful, there's nothing magnificent, it's all one flat and slightly bland stretch of 6/10. The first 15 seconds of the coaster is fun, there's dispatch audio and you...

    I trekked, Utrecht, We trekked to Walibi

    Nice report Rob, you articulate your joy and excitement so well. My number 1 and 2 are Untamed and RTH too. What's your plans for the rest of the year, will you be hitting 200 soon?

    Would you skip creds to reach a milestone on a decent coaster?

    Interesting discussion. I keep track of my milestones but make no effort to make them significant coasters. Feels that if I'm interested enough to count creds in the first place then getting good milestones should also feel satisfying to my brain but no. My lack of desire has led to #300 being...

    Ride to Happiness (Plopsaland) Probably the coaster that makes me shout, giggle and whoop the most. It's so euphoric, I especially love when you enter the zero G roll or flying snake dive facing sideways and the inversion whips you head over heels like you're on a Top Spin. Great airtime...
