A well maintained B&M hyper is better than Hyperia. However, Thorpe do not like maintaining rides and there are plenty of hypers that (currently) do not ride as well. As great as it would be to have a decent B&M built over here (not a retrack) for the first line in a long time, they may...

You have to love Pax 😄

I was completely brain dead last night, so I watched the Land Before Time 2. I'd forgotten how entertaining it is. And how much I dislike Cera.

^ I think it was the one called Airborne. I did need a sit down afterwards...

Overpriced and hellishly busy. I've done it in a group of CFers a few times, but I confess I've never particularly enjoyed it - I'm glad I ticked off Munich Looping though and if Hollenblitz came to town, I'd be straight down there. I did a VERY big spinning booster type thing last year which...

I teared up a little at the end of fireworks the other week, simply because I didn’t want this season to end. But let’s go back to the start… 2024 began with a renewed enthusiasm. My much missed 'joi de vivre' and wanderlust were well and truly back- the pre-season coverage of Nemesis looked...

^ The good kind - or the Iron Dragon kind? :p

For a long time, sentimental old fool that I am, I'd have said 2009. In addition to sort of coming of age (as those of you who know me well are sick to death of hearing), this and 2010 were also the years when I made some great friends through this forum (one now my brother in law, another I...

Updated for this year... 1. Katun 2. Nemesis 3. Alpengeist 4. Banshee 5. La Vampire 6. Black Mamba 7. Oziris 8. Raptor 9. Monster, Walygator 10. Batman clone, Madrid 11. Nemesis Inferno Montu in March (and Phoenix Rising!)

You're posting on a coaster forum. I think that gives you some idea :) Am I as enthusiastic as Matt posting above - certainly not. Do I run around like an excited child in a toy shop when I go to a new park? Certainly.

Ah, you beat me to it. Maybe I'm being over reactionary, but I interpret this as very bad news - and not just for the poor staff. Look at the job that's been done on Nemesis, Alton Manor and to an extent Hex - I was looking forward to seeing the rest of the park slowly following. If they want...

I think we're due a 2024 update here... 1. Katun 2. Nemesis 3. The Beast 4. Helix 5. El Toro 6. Alpengeist 7. Banshee 8. Shambhala 9. Colossos 10. Zadra

This is a lovely idea - and I'd definitely use the opportunity to get back to my favourite zoo as well... but I've just booked a birthday trip to Florida, which will take most of my money. I will assess nearer the time though, as I'm tempted and Jan/Feb are always very slow months for us guys.

It has - and it did. A real surprise package - may even be the best coaster here. (Yes, I'm posting from a queue line)

Creeper are awesome - saw them in Wembley on Wednesday and they played their whole latest album (albeit in the wrong order) as well as the sad songs. I've not been this into a band in a long time and it makes me feel young again :D Saw Maiden in Philly last night and needless to say, they...
