Hello Prinkle :) If you haven't seen it already, there's a good website called Captain Coaster on which people (mostly enthusiasts) rate and review coasters, so you can get an idea of the top rated ones worldwide, or by country, by park etc. There's another one called Coaster Count which I...

What makes it not a true dive coaster?

Oh definitely. I spited myself out of years of joy by not even knowing I loved coasters and being too scared to find out (along with rarely getting the opportunity). The first miss I remember is the large Vekoma boomerang (Cobra?) that used to be at Bewdley Safari Park. I was maybe 9 or 10. My...

The way one clone-child's torso is springing directly from the father's crotch 😆

This whole thing is spooky. I'd never heard of it until seeing this thread today. There are already 100+ Google reviews of the park but most of them are from people who had trouble buying tickets or don't like the (frightful) AI art. And then a load of 5* reviews with no/minimal comments...

Nooo it's a Very Convincing Human 😆 Wonder what the point of it is supposed to be? Fake grassroots marketing of something down the line?

I recently found this Backrooms coaster video and the endless pink track and boxy green/yellow train (minus the Wacky Worm head) really reminded me of Millennium at Fantasy Island... so that one I guess! The lurid green supports IRL make it look even more unreal.

Got to ride this last week - it's great, but the bag policy is really bizarre and ended up detracting from the experience quite a lot! I had a shoulder bag and small rucksack with me - but the ops wouldn't let me leave them anywhere and indicated I had to keep them both in the car. When we went...

That's a bit brutal 😆 I absolutely loved Fantasy Island! It's such a bizarre place. Is the new cred that spinning thing they were putting up last year?

Yesssss. 🥳

Oh my GOD, this looks so fun. The robot shark trains! The setting!! The length!!! Is it shameful to be more excited about getting on this one than Kondaa? 😅

Oh, right! I mean, it's a bit of a strange crowd to be sure... we were there on a summer weekday and didn't see any trouble. I heard things can get a bit interesting in Ingoldmells after dark though.

Yes, you should!! It's such a bizarre place, extremely entertaining - nowhere else like it. The indoor pyramid is great with some surprisingly decent atmospheric theming and unique, kitschy dark rides. Both of the coasters are good and proper credits that are worth getting. Odyssey is a beast -...

Sad day guys, the Merlin asset cull is really getting out of hand...

Uhh... 😆

Oh dear. Another one to cross off the 2025 trips list... was quite looking forward to trying Speed and Megafobia, they both looked decent. Bleugh.

An excellent time with a fun crowd! Props to Serena! Still got +4 creds, and one of them was even good 😅

Out of interest, does anyone know why those temperature limits might be in place? I thought that most coasters/parks were closed in European climates over winter for commercial reasons, not operating reasons. Maybe risk of valleying if they run too slowly...? Can't think of anything else!

Woah, didn't realise they had temperature limits on the coasters. RtH says closed < 6 degrees, Anubis < 5 degrees - even the kiddies also close < 5 degrees! Heidi doesn't seem to have a specific temperature on it. Whenever I check the De Panne weather forecast for Saturday it's gone down...

Really! Interesting. I do find it fun, just not particularly thrilling, maybe because of lack of variation in the layout/forces. I don't usually care much about restraints but these ones do bother me during the ride when they tighten up. It would definitely be a loss if it stopped coming but at...
