On the Thorpe park advert running at the park, they claim to be the “UK’s wettest theme park”. Is this true? What measurement and data is this based on?

Going to be frank with you. With attendance numbers decreasing and other groups offering ‘package’ trips, it’s very likely that this 20th anniversary year of CF Lives will be the last as we know it. We realise that a meet up for a meet up sake isn’t popular like it was. Goons rightly want value...

Hi everybody, thanks for a smashing day. Looking forward to reading your reports and seeing your photos over the next few days. But first I think we all need some recovery time! The sun was amazing, the park was quieter than expected and we crammed loads in!

This little piggy went to Alton. This little piggy then went home. This little piggy rode the new cred. This little piggy got a plus 1. And this little piggy went wee-weeee-weeeee and invited you to Paultons! The Live name is a bit rubbish (as was my take on the nursery rhyme). I was thinking...

Where & When As the thread title says, Alton Towers on Sunday 20th March Where to meet The park is open 10am until 5pm. Please meet at 10:30 at Oblivion. Hopefully this'll give you enough time to get in and arrive at the coaster. First time and unsure who you're looking for? It's pretty easy...

Hi all, thought I'd let you know what our intentions are for CF Lives this coming season. Covid is still playing a role in the organisational side of Lives. The CF Team is mainly made up of Brits, so organising events outside the UK carries risk. Travel restrictions play the primary role which...

We did this in 2020 for Roller Coaster Day, so we're doing it again! Please take a few mins to have a go at this survey and please do share it with your friends! https://coasterforce.com/survey-2021/

This is an in-joke between me and @ECG. We keep receiving spam emails from clever bots asking how much Monster weighs. As tempted as I am to reply with something sarcastic like “more than Godzilla but less than your mum”, I just deleted them. A 4th one came through this morning and now I’m...

The hunt for the nation’s biggest theme park fan is on! AsTHORPE PARK Resort gets ready to welcome guests back, planning to reopen from 12th April in line with the latest Government guidance, The Island Like No Other has announced a once-in-a-ride-time experience for one lucky theme park...

Reading that Indiana Beech is getting “Triple Loop”, that means it’s been from Malaysia to England, then Mexico and now USA. That’s a lot of miles (I can’t be arsed to work it out*). Ignoring established recognised travelling coasters, and it’s journey from the fabrication plant to the park...

Hello Goons...I'll cut to the chase, unfortunately this post isn't a list of CF Lives planned for next year. It's more of a "what we're thinking" type of statement. Cancelling our 2020 trip plans was heartbreaking. We had a cracking schedule with a lot of extras thrown it. It would've been one...

With IAAPA not taking place this year, they’ll be no big reveals and excitable coverage unless they do a virtual expo...but it wouldn’t be the same. To fill the gap this year, I’m considering making a Top Number to be Determined IAAPA reveals video/list. As always, your input in these projects...

This is not your typical “best roller coaster” survey! We’re not going to ask you what your top coaster is, or what park you like the most, because those questions get asked all the time. We want to ask you what you love about roller coasters and what you enjoy the most about your hobby! We...

We're keen to meet up and want to support the parks as much as possible, but health wins wins every single time. We are monitoring the advice given by the national Governments, health organisations, and, of course, the parks we plan to visit. Until this blows over and health officials deem the...
