Rip wild train 😢

I suspect the chances of someone reading the forum, working at plopsa, and being in the area at the time this happened are pretty slim. You'd be better off contacting the park to see if they have an incident report, or speaking to your own doctor. Hopefully they should get a discharge summary...

If only someone could shoot a high quality 4k/60fps POV with a modern camera.... The wide angle back row gives more of an indication of any roughness as stabilisation is less effective with the wide FOV. It's actually pretty smooth and the only slightly rough / jolty bit is the exit and...

When Camelot was around?

Annoyingly coaster-count rounds it up.

I've said it before, and I think it applies to everyone, but the only person that cares about your cred count and what you include and don't include in it is you. There's always inconsistencies and it's irrational, so I think I'm going to start giving my personal count as an irrational number...

I was riding oddesey this weekend and it's worth riding, but only maybe once or twice. It's the largest SLC ever built and he's a surprisingly steep drop. It's not the roughest, but it's far from smooth!

Hmm, the ECC will be there on the 19th, so I expect if it's good enough for influencers to ride then it'll be good enough for some enthusiasts.

I might have more confidence in this if the website was a little more than white and green text on a black background. One company I was wondering about though was the zip world one, They seem to have done quite well in Wales, and adding a few zip lines to the park couldn't be that hard, it...

Looks decent, is it open yet?

The good news: Blackpool is bringing back non rider tickets The bad news: They cost £25 and include £5 of blackpool bucks to spend on overpriced food in the park When a "full" adult ticket can be had for £30, I feel like they're only doing this to try and get some press coverage...

What a fantastic day! Amazing weather, amazing company and a lovely chilled time at the park. Huge thanks to @Serena for organising another awesome live, and congratulations on plucking up the courage to ride your first top spin! how long is it till the next live?:D

I'm still figuring out my plans but I think I should be there, I'm hopefully looking at a job opportunity in Watford on Thursday, so would make sense to maybe do Thorpe and / or Chessie on Friday/saturday before heading back towards manchester where Alton isn't much of a detour.

Arashi.

I always felt that SFAM was given a bad rep, and if it wasn't part of the six flags chain and was an independant park then people would probably like it more. If a new company took it over then it could get a new lease of life, but given they're selling the land to be "marketed for...

Scotland is getting another alpine coaster! https://www.cairngormmountain.co.uk/cairngorm-mountain-announces-plans-for-summer-toboggan-ride/ Strangely they plan on deconstructing it every winter which seems kind of odd.... The management at cairngorm has been questionable at best in recent...

Interesting. Realistically I doubt the height or speed record would be a target, unless it's records for a particular class of coaster - e.g. wing or flying. So what else does that leave that would fit FWA? steepest? most inversions? Fastest multi-launch? most launches?

I can't wait for the express pass tickets to feature a smiling gandalf saying "You SHALL pass!"

A hoverboard themed surf coaster could be a neat idea... Also lotr does seem tricky to make in to a ride. I assume it would be based on the Peter Jackson films, and the last one of those was published over 20 years ago, so most of the actors will have aged significantly (although something just...

it looks fun, but kind of rough and Shakey, although this depends on what they used to film it to some extent. I really don't understand why parks put out POVs that don't show off their newest coaster in the best light. Getting a 4k60 stabilised POV is really not that hard or expensive to do.
