    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    It shows on CC as a duplicate. So you can tick both Nemesis and Nemesis Reborn separately but it only counts as one. It's the same as Hulk, and Python.

    Yup, a forward climb up the lift dropping backwards really would make the layout feel more complete to me. Makes a lot more sense.

    Nanocoaster discussions and opinions

    I have the Big One and Olympia Looping. Really like the OL one. Not sure if you can buy older ones online anywhere though.

    This looks and sounds very feasible and sensible to me. The second option is a really cool idea and reminds me of Big Grizzly Mountain. The first option would work if it was a spinner as well. Nicely worked out!

    Alton Towers New Flat Ride?

    I rode the one at SFGAdv and it was one of the most boring flat rides i've ever ridden. It's just you being moved in multiple controlled directions over the course of the cycle. No randomness at all. It is very impressive to watch though and looks incredible, but from a rider perspective I...

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    Ah! So it was! Good spot. I did check some photos of the old trains but couldn’t see them but you’re absolutely right I retract my comment! [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's really the whole broom conundrum isn't it? If you replace the brush and then the handle, is it the same broom?

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    I also thought they were the old ones refurbished but the seat pillars are different. They have a rounded welded shape at the top of each of them. This could just be the old seat pillars with new fixings or plates added to strengthen them but they are different in a way.

    Milestones in Your Counts

    It's a really fun ride actually, took a while to warm up but later on in the day it ran very nicely!

    Milestones in Your Counts

    Rode my 1100th during my recent trip, it ended up being Alpina Blitz at Nigloland. Beautiful park, i'd highly recommend it!

    Furuviksparken | Lightning | Vekoma Family Coaster | 2023

    Yes, the sign is stunning. We all mentioned how good it looked when we first saw it. Very nicely done.

    Furuviksparken | Lightning | Vekoma Family Coaster | 2023

    The track definitely looks strange but it is really smooth. I liked the detail in the front car with the speedometer and fuel guages. Shame they don't move with the ride though.

    Furuviksparken | Lightning | Vekoma Family Coaster | 2023

    Rode this several times yesterday. It's a really fun and very smooth ride. Was super popular and is a great fit for the park. Didn't go down once as far as I saw. I can see this getting cloned around as all the supports stop at the lowest point at the same height, with concrete footers...

    Colossus Partial Retrack (Thorpe Park)

    Unless a a retrack will help resolve any potential maintenance issues they may have, i feel a new set of trains, a power wash and repaint would be a much better option. Or just remove it entirely.

    CWOA | Mandrill Mayhem (World of Jumanji) | B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    I have to 100% agree. The capacity i'm sure did come up at the discussion stage but obviously passed off as "it'll be alright". How on earth they could have accepted it is beyond me. Now they have no choice but to deal with it. Pretty much every enthusiast would have been able to say...

    do we NEED to count credits?

    I do count, but the counting is just for me. Whether someone has ridden 100 or 1000 it doesn't bother me. I try to ride all coasters I can. I have found that sometimes when i've gone to ride some of the smallest, most useless coasters out there, i've come away having had a much better...
