Hyperia. S'alright. Needs to be a bit longer. Joking aside, it's actually a lot better than 'alright'... but it definitely does need to be a bit longer. Had 3 rides on it yesterday, first was in the middle somewhere, second managed to swing a front row ride via the single rider line - result! -...

Zadra was virtually flattened by high winds during construction and they had it rebuilt pretty quickly. In fact, I think it still actually opened ahead of schedule.

I voted for the January date. Have done that exact trip for the last 2 years in a row now and it's been fab. In the post Christmas comedown, having a trip that early on is a great way to fend off those back-to-work, January blues.

Going to Thorpe on Monday, haven't been on Hyperia yet so I'm hoping for a speedy turnaround, but deep down I'm already preparing my post for the "Worst Ever Spite" thread. 🙄

Is it possible that Phantasialand, along with the actual coaster, also bought some sort of exclusivity rights to the design? As in, Vekoma would agree to not sell another flying coaster within a certain radius from Phantasialand, or a fixed timeframe, or sumat? That could explain why we haven't...

Generally a doer but sometimes, just sometimes, it's nice to just kick back, sit on a beach or by a pool and do f*** all for a few days. Not for too long, couldn't do it for, say, 2 weeks straight, I'd have to break it up with a few excursions or some sightseeing/exploring and stuff, but yeah, I...

On board with the Philly Cheese love, been chowing down on those a lot! (far too much, in fact). 🤤 But I'm sure it'll be back fairly soon. The McRib however is a far more elusive creature and should be embraced whenever we have the chance.

Word on the street, fans, is that the  McRib might be coming back to the UK next month. This teaser appeared briefly on the app but was quickly withdrawn. Was it a test? Was it a mistake? Was it a troll? Who knows, but, y'know... any McRib news is good news, right? 🤞🤞🤞🤞

S'alright. Nowt special. I'd give it 7/10. I'm exaggerating slightly for comic effect. Funniest member, see. S'alright, I guess. 7 out of 10, no more.

Not in any particular order, just a few examples of stuff I hated: Time Warp / any Volare. Only ridden the one at Canada's Wonderland. Despite a couple of opportunities to get a couple more for the count, I've never ridden another since and never will. Disgusting. Insane / any Zacspin. As...

I don't want to give away too much... but let's just say it's considerably better than Poseidon's Fury (which I also really liked by the way) and if it's open, you should definitely do it while you have the chance. ☺️

Don't you just love it when you find a list topic that you haven't updated in a while? 1. Alton Beast/New Beast (I'm going on the theory that they were, in fact, the same ride). 2. The Black Hole. 3. ThunderLooper. 4. Jumbo Jet (Drayton Manor). 5. Looping Star (Rhyl). 6. Scorpion (BGT). 7...

An encouraging report. I wonder if PortAventura are finally addressing the issues that have plagued them for years, or whether you just dropped lucky on the day. Good luck for the rest of the trip, Mat. Tell me, is Templo del Fuego operating at the moment? It's an absolute must-do if it is.

Dude, if I ever saw your dad in the street, I swear I'd recognise him just from the back of his head. Your anonymity is blown! Mwu ha ha haaa!

Is this the much-touted PortAventura trip? Exciting times, I hope everything goes well for you. Be interesting to see how Shambhala compares to Mako and Silver Star. Fingers crossed it's running at it's best. 🤞

Ok let's do a bit of Intamin bashing: Maverick is pants. I don't get why so many rate it so highly. Trains and restraints are bad. The stop/start launch ruins the flow. Capacity isn't great - it always has a long line - but the absolute worst thing of all? It launches you straight into a trim...

Good job, Alex! I especially like the T shirt. 👍

1. The Ride to Happiness. Like... durrr! Of course it's The Ride to Happiness. 2. Helix. Used to be my number 1 coaster. A masterpiece. 3. Pulsar. Don't care, it's a Mack, it's a coaster and it launches so I'm counting it. I think it's brilliant. 4. Time Traveler. Not a patch on RTH, but...

So I went to America and rode 6 new RMC's. Six! In one trip! 😲 That brings my total up to 16. This is how I rank them. New in  bold. 1. Steel Vengeance. No surprises here - it's still my overall number 1 coaster. It's the sheer size of the thing that keeps it at the top. 5740ft of RMC madness...
