    What made you fall in love with coasters?

    It's probably the same for me. Remember taping it on VHS and watching the recording over and over.

    Alton Towers New Flat Ride?

    I do like the splash of green. It will add a small bit of colour to FV. As others have said, I hope there are some effects rather than just the ride itself; otherwise, it'll feel like a downgrade on Ripsaw, which had the fountains.

    Thoughts on Hyde Park Winter Wonderland?

    I used to go yearly from its very first year when it was in the Dome, and you could get a wristband for unlimited rides, so I saw it grow year by year when it moved to Hyde Park. It's always been expensive but it just takes the piss now that it's no longer free entry to wander around. It was a...

    Djurs Sommerland | Intamin Launch Coaster?

    Exciting. Love Djurs Sommerland when I went. If I did a proper top 10 I still think Piraten would be #1 for me still. This, and the other coasters they've added since my visit might tempt me to make a return visit.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Merlin have filed a UK trademark for the phrase ‘Adventures Made Real’ in a font which resembles that of Minecraft which gives futher weight to the rumours that the new land/coaster at Chessington will be Minecraft themed. Posted by Attraction Source.

    New attractions at Paultons Park

    Some of you are massively clutching at straws. To bring us back to reality... if you look carefully at the design, the mixture of wood and steel means it will be a hybrid coaster with each of the 20 spiked posts on the gate representing the 20 inversions. If you take the Rocks from the left...

    Halloween and spooky season; what are your thoughts?

    Love it. Although I have to as my job is designing and creating scare mazes/events to entertain/scare people each year 😂 It's hectic and hard work, but it's super rewarding when you're finally open and see people enjoying what you created.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    All these issues have put me off visiting the park this year. Having visited Thorpe more times than I can count I'd be going purely for Hyperia. I know it's not the park's fault and they're doing the best they can, but the time and cost involved in visiting Thorpe now from up north means I will...

    JoshC.'s Pursuit to 400 - The Cult of Europa, Hitting 400 and Traumatica

    It definitely used to. Was infamously known on here as "bats on sticks" the ride.

    Are you a doer or a relaxer on holiday?

    Theme park holidays are definitely a dooer for obvious reasons. But even on non-theme park holidays, I like to try to explore the area a little. It seems a little alien to me to go to a foreign country and only see inside the 4 walls of an all-inclusive hotel.

    Cedar Point | Siren's Curse | Vekoma Tilt Coaster | 2025

    Looks nice and whippy on the video. How are these modern tilt coasters for reliability?

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    Always thought the beach area at Thorpe is such a waste of space. I get that people use it on the 2 days a year it's open but doesn't fit in with the rest of the park at all and just makes it more of a ballache having to walk round it to get into the rest of the park. The narrow walkways aren't...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    My brother also rode for the first time yesterday and was texting me updates throughout the day. He was on the 4th train of the day in the 4th row and came off with similar thoughts to you being slightly disappointed. Great first drop but nothing too special after that. However he went back on...
