    How do you tell a rides manufacturer?

    For me its the reliability. If the ride is down 90% of the time you know Intamin made it. If it is more than 90% it is for sure an S&S and best of luck riding it 👍;)

    WTF Merlin?

    I have said a LOT on RAP as an ex user and I still qualify! I am going to be harsh here and be savage, The reason this is not a problem in most EU/US parks is simply the culture in the UK. The kind of entitlement and the "I have XYZ wrong" with me so I deserve AB. It could be a minor problem...

    Best Park Throughputs & Availability

    This is not a new opinion, but I can back up Europa. I have seen one breakdown in 7 days spend there in my life, and it was Poseidon, which was down for a whole 3 minutes. Rides at Europa are beyond reliable, i never seen anything like it. Cedar Point and Phantasialand both gave me a fair slice...

    WTF BPB?

    Just a couple of things: Amanda I feel needs to really improve her PR skills. Even if she is frustrated by fans, they are ultimately the one lining her pockets. The passholders are the ones who come every weekend and spend £16 per head on a crappy pizza buffet. I think perhaps she should tweet...

    Will Hyperia be better than Nemesis?

    I think I will like Hyperia more. The shortness worries me, but I think its twisted drop is going to be wild, and the elements after look like they're going have to some weird airtime/laterals. I love Nemesis, but I do feel not insane hype about it to be honest. I actually prefer Smiler in the...

    Who would go to Six Flags Quiddiya?

    You're absolutely right in that it probably would not be as fixated on. But it is hard not to be paranoid when at any time if i let the mask slip, suddenly i go from tourist to criminal. I'd probably be fine! But its hard to relax with that kind of thing hanging above my head.

    Who would go to Six Flags Quiddiya?

    So this post is going to be a mess. But this is from a perspective as a fairly young 21 year old gay man. I personally do not have any problems with Muslim countries, countries like Turkiye are places i would visit in a heartbeat. Being gay there is a taboo, but by law it has been legal since...

    UK Scare Attractions Reports

    Tulleys Shocktoberfest Review 23: I'm not even going to write an intro because i have been reviewing this attraction for a LONGG time. My first visit was in 2012 to put that into perspective. I have to say that things have certainly progressed since, what was a small niche industry has suddenly...

    Legend Land - Croatia

    This is total BS. Split or Dubrovnik would be SO much better locations for a Croatian theme park, especially with the thousands of European tourists who cram into the small coastal cities. But yeah this is a scam, which is a shame because Croatia deserve a good theme park.

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    I actually cannot believe it is being built. I know i am so cynical on this project, but i honestly really cannot comprehend how this is going to work. Falcon's Flight is such an over extension for a new park.

    Your favourite city

    Honestly as a brit, even though i tend to completely complain about London all the time, it is one of the best cities in the world. It has such a rich history, a huge size, and has such variety. I love the iconic thames setting, the chaotic tube, and the passive agressive "excuse me!". Its known...

    UK Scare Attractions Reports

    For those who do not want to read my long rambly trip report: Here's my verdict on Thorpe's stuff this year, mild spoilers. STITCHES: Stitches i went into with a fresh virgin mind, and i am glad i did. If i had to describe it, it is basically a scare maze that plays with the psychological...

    Thorpe Park: Is it good again? (Fright Nights 23')

    It is 2012, and Thorpe Park just built Swarm. They had received 3 coasters since 2006, and seemed to be endlessly expanding. The park were laying down coasters, flat rides, and Thorpe was "the park" in the UK. Then we saw a decade of nothing, literal nothing. Temporary half baked "attractions"...

    UK Scare Attractions Reports

    I plan on HHN next year hopefully, but for this year i plan on Shocktoberfest (as an actor and a guest later in the run), and Fright Nights. I would like to experience the amazing looking stuff up north, but honestly i never get the time.

    Rides that don't feel safe

    After Blackpool i would like to mention Steeplechase as probably the scariest for me. I really feel exposed sitting on the horse with only a basic seatbelt around me. The janky nature of the ride only makes things worse, as it jolts you around and breaks abruptly. Other shoutout is to Wild Mouse...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    After riding Icon last week i actually am really interested for this. I do wonder though if its height will makeup for the pretty small layout. Icon maybe small but it has such a long layout that maybe missed here. The ride will probably kick ass though! Thorpe's marketing team have been pretty...

    UK Scare Attractions Reports

    On this thread i would like to review Pasaje del Terror at Pleasure Beach. It honestly is everything i wanted it to be and more, it felt legitimately scary at points (and this is coming from a Veteran Scare Actor). The attraction uses some really clever scare techniques that even a scare...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach- a messy masterpiece

    Pleasure Beach is a trek for me to visit. I have to leave my home town of Crawley to travel to London Euston, then to get the train all the way up Blackpool. It takes around 4-5 hours, and a lot of money. It literally sits 200 miles away on the other side of the damn country, so it is not a...

    Gardaland- Its Okay!

    I FORGOT MAMMUT It was a great mine train to be honest- I rode in the middle of the day so it was a slight blur. But yeah agreed on a lack of a star attraction- not helped by Shaman and Blue Tornado really dragging the quality down. I think the rapids and the log flume also that kinda “okay”...

    B&M Vest Restraints vs the original ones

    Vests are meh on wings for me, on dives they are actually the worst. Valravn bored me to death with them.
