Haven't done a TR on here in a while, so I thought I'd write one about a bucket list park for me in Spain. No, we're not talking PortAventura ( Though I went there, overall a ballache with the queues, Furius Baco is the best thing there, a mental ride that was one of the few to scare me in a v...

I was at Gyeongju World on 26/12/24 and spotted this purple structure. Initially thought it was a Gyro swing but then noticed it had extra supports in the middle. Anyway, next to the ski slope you could see coaster wheel parts:

Taking matters into my own hands since the mods aren't understanding that two different coasters at two different parks should have separate threads at this point. The fact they are in the same country or same model doesnt change this, and it has been known for several months now that its not...

Not necessarily good for enthusiasts but good for everyone as a whole? Need some good suggestions.

Normally whenever there is a long weekend here I don't let it go to waste, and get somewhere out of Brisbane. New Zealand is nice and a place I really should have seen more of considering its our dearest neighbour, but the flights are always a bit too expensive for a long weekend trip, and of...

So these days there are a lot of videos of NL creations and pre-creations for upcoming rides out there. Do you watch the video from the beginning, including the off ride shots, or do you just skip straight to the POV?

Curious about this since I dont think I've seen a poll like this. The two Jutland Juggernauts, similar numbers of attractions and coasters. Is there a clear winner?

Following on from the worst spite thread. Just wondering, are there any rides out there you watched the construction of, were interested enough to want to ride for many years, but the park shut down the ride before you ever got to visit. For me Hypersonic XLC and the Penguin dark ride at Sea...

Until 1am Saturday, you needed a negative test result to cross the border into Queensland, which was too much faff for returning a weekend away, so I’ve stayed put in Queensland since mid last year. But On Thursday this happened: So with that requirement gone, I made a snap decision to head...

Im not trying to dab on Oblivion , I'm really not, but I've been thinking. (like it's really fun) Baron 1898 does a much better job of being "all about the drop" than Oblivion. Let me go back a step. Oblivion objectively has the worst dive machine layout...Ok maybe Krake comes close but...

Just wondering, are there many world records for coasters that seemed to defy logic and never made sense? A couple have stuck out to me. 1) Eejanaika reportedly held the world record for the most inversions, at 14. Now, quite blatantly, the ride only has 3 track inversions according to...

Just wondering. What is the steepest coaster with a pure drop that doesn't rely on a holding brake or eddy current brakes to regulate the movement of the train. I want to know because everything from Dive machines to Takabisha to Screamin Squirrels cheat by using devices to soften the G's on a...

I've done plenty of overseas trips, helped by the fact that my sister lives in the US (And even Mum and Dad were working over there for a few years), but I do like exploring domestically. In 2019 I turned 30 and realised that I had still yet to set foot in Tasmania or the Northern Territory. I...

What parks are examples of parks primarily focused on : - presenting a good little themed microcosm of the country they are in - not getting stale or scratching for tenuous things that suit the theme - Not feeling cheesy A few that spring to mind: Dollywood – It’s in the American south but...

So I was pondering this with the news of the UK getting their 2nd 10 looper. Are there any countries or areas that seem to have a disproportionately high number per capita of a certain ride type compared to elsewhere? Japanese parks seem to beat everyone in terms of giant ferris wheels and sky...

Something I was reflecting on from my travels. At one end of the spectrum you have parks like Blackpool, Phantasialand, Tivoli, Universal Singapore etc where the park is very interlocked, with very little green space, a lot of emphasis on buildings and architecture (Often it feels like you are...

I've only just got in from the airport now and am now Back home in Brisbane. Given the tyranny of distance, I tend to do my coastering in a month long annual binge, and this time around was Germany, the Netherlands, and a tiny little addon to Copenhagen that I had the opportunity to do. The...

Something I was pondering in the lead up to my trip to Germany....Are there any bad Schwarzkopf coasters? I don't think I've ridden one I didn't enjoy or found uncomfortable...

I'm in the process of trying to pick up the remaining coasters in Australia, with the added degree of difficulty of including carnival ones in that figure. Some enthusiast friends from overseas meant it was easy to arrange a weekend trip to visit Adventure Park, Gumbaya World and Funfields...
