    Energylandia - April 2018

    Haven't done one of these for a while, as we've all been most places but there's only a handful of people I know who have been here so far, but obviously everyone will descend on the place once Hyperion opens so… I had a free morning/early afternoon before my flight left after a week working in...

    Top 10 Africa/Asia/Australia

    I consider myself reasonable well traveled now, certainly not a basic bitch, but I'm basic when it comes to Asia etc. I have some of the best creds in Europe and the US to my name which could grace most enthusiasts top 10, but nothing for the east of the world. We are lucky to have a few...

    http://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/attractions/seaworld/os-seaworld-virtual-reality-kraken-coaster-20160926-story.html I'm not a huge fan of Kraken, but knowing the earbashing you can get from some multiloopers, this is going to hurt. There's also many many stupid comments such as... "I'm...

    Foods you won't eat

    I'm fortunate to not be picky when it comes to food, and will generally try anything once. Rarely does whatever I ate make me physically sick, only once... Jellied Eels, minging. What say thee CoasterForceians? What won't/can't you eat?

    Your most expensive cred

    With the news of Ferrari Land's pricing being announced, I started thinking about what my most expensive cred has been so far. I think it would be Boulderdash, I paid $25 and only Boulderdash was running, but that did include access to the haunted graveyard, which was fab <3 What's yours? A...

    Family Trip to the Netherlands

    A couple of months ago we decided that we needed to visit some friends who have recently moved to Den Haag in the Netherlands so thought we could combine it with a trip to Plopsaland. I approached this park with a totally different mindset to normal and focused on it as a family park and based...

    Stag Weekend in Cologne

    Cheese

    I'm fully aware that the forum has a lot of food based topics but I'm super passionate about Cheese. I love a good cheese with a glass or red or some port, a few crackers and a accompanying chutney, so I'm wondering what your favourite cheeses are, inspiration I guess for my next bucket of...

    Maximum G Force Records

    Been wondering about this for a while, and stumbled across this - http://rollercoaster.wikia.com/wiki/Highest_G-Force_on_a_Roller_Coaster Which states that Tower of Terror pulls the most G's at 6.3.

    No, this isn't the same thread. Just heard on the radio that another Malaysian Airlines flight is in trouble. This time apparently crashes in the Ukraine. News reports indicate it was shot down. Over 200 people on board, don't know if any survived.

    Pleasurewood Hills and Great Yarmouth 5th July

    After a nice relaxing week at Center Parcs, I decided that Pleasurewood Hills needed to be visited, as it's only 90 mins from Thetford. We stayed the night at the Travelodge round the corner and got to the nice quiet park for opening. There were a couple of characters at the entrance greeting...

    Europa Park - Around Europe in a day

    I was lucky enough to go to Freiburg for work and my boss was kind enough to let me have the Friday off to visit Europa park. Originally it was a solo mission, but once my German colleague Patrick found out I was going, he cleared his meetings and arranged to pick me up from my hotel in Rust...
