Thanks Ian for organising. It was a great day with loads of rides at a nice chilled pace.

Was great to see everyone today!

Flamingolsnd is the only major U.K. Park I’ve still to get to, was planning to go in 2019 but held off waiting for the new cred, as it doesn’t sound like a park worthy of repeat visits. Coaster specifically, maybe Hero as it’s been years since I last rode a violate so just to see if they are...

Pre-booked my Ticket and looking forward to this!

Thanks for the the update. As fab as the overseas lives have been, I think it’s a totally understandable position to take for this year with the ongoing uncertainty. The U.K. lives seem good, particularly Alton in March.

Coaster count at start of 2021: 722 - Coaster count at end of 2021: 770 - New coasters ridden in 2021: 48 - New parks visited in 2021: 5 proper parks, plus some smaller places - Park visits (number of days) in 2021: I think 17 - Best new-to-you coaster: Kondaa - Best new-to-you...

Herschend gets my vote as they have donning really well with Dollywood and SDC, both having an excellent line up, operations, shows, theming and staff. The whole package. I think it will be interesting to see what they do with Kentucky Kingdom, hopefully it gets treated like a Dollywood and...

1. Wodan 2. Blue Fire 3. Silver Star (I’d put a back row ride above Blue fire, but the front is a bit nothingy) 4. Arthur 5. Eurosat Can Can coaster 6. Euromir 7. Schweizer Bobbahn 8. Matterhorn Blitz 9. Posiden 10. Pegasus 11. Alpen Express 12. Atlantica Supersplash 13. Baa baa Express

Apparently Sweden’s public health authority are saying the current restrictions will be in effect for another year at least... this might become a 2022 Coaster.

I’d second the Bobbejaanland/ Slagharen/Belantis as the best passes for Parques Reunidos. I haven’t checked every single park, but most seem to offer the one time entry to the others, however the Madrid parks charge 3 times as much for the equivalent and Mirabilandia is about double. I’m...

Not sure if it counts as a spite, but I booked a trip to KD to finally get round to riding Volcano which had been on my bucket list since the beginning of time. A couple of weeks after booking my flights and they announced its permanent closure! At least I got to see it in it’s semi dismantled...

Added another wacky worm which brings my total to 28/ 4.14%. I need to get back to going to decent parks!

Thorpe is managed the way it is because at the end of the day Merlin is a business out to make money. Legoland 30 mins down the road does an excellent job bringing in the family money to Merlin. Chessington is another Merlin family park less than 30 mins away, so if Thorpe also went down the...

Strawberry Daiquiris are the best. Near version is boring, much better with crushed ice!
