Dammit - I was going to head there at the weekend and finally get the cred. Sorry - I mean, "thoughts and prayers".

HoW tO TRaiN YoUr DrAgON: The Ride

Very good, as ever. <3 An epic trip, and 78 creds is nothing to be disappointed by, but your luck with some of the coasters is tough. You're far more seasoned than me, but I think you must be cursed... I'm not sure I've ever been spited as badly as you from the major creds.

I think the space thing is just so mind-boggling for Falcon's Flight. There would obviously be other ways to get the height and speed records (as you say - just launch vertically :D ), but the combined height-length-speed combo is feeling quite untouchable at the moment. A very crude overlay...

Oooh I know this one! Money.

I think it's only Antelope at Gulliver's Warrington - which RCDB class as "Family" anyway so he's in the clear... ;)

I get 196 if I don't add the "roller coaster" filter (i.e. including powered and mountain coasters): https://rcdb.com/r.htm?st=93&ol=26828&ot=2 But if you filter out to only Extreme and Thrill, it's only 64 coasters. So only actually going to ride a third of the coasters in the country... And...

Not that I've ridden one, but from a POV of Mission Bermudes it's completely different to Pirates. Pirates Shanghai is an amped up version of a 'normal' boat ride, not in any way coaster-y. Just go find a POV of it, and you'll see what I mean. It's much, much, more in the 'coaster-adjacent' pot...

I think Pirates falls extremely foul of simply just "not feeling like a coaster". There's absolutely nothing about that ride (from first hand experience) that makes it feel any different to any other boat ride in terms of it's hardware setup. It's the best dark ride on the planet (of those I've...

So it turns out I completely misunderstood the Rocking Boat design. I thought it disconnected from the rails and had a clever gizmo that hooked it up to a wire like their other tethered boat rides. Watching a POV of Mission Bermuda, I think I would count this as a coaster. So yeah, mind...

Oh I don't know anymore...! :D :D :D

Rocking Boats definitely aren't creds, but I suppose what I meant was: For now I'll leave the thread here - if/when the [rumoured suspended] coaster materialises I'll move it to Coaster Construction. If it's confirmed as not happening [and the installation is just the Rocking Boat], I'll move...

Part of the reason you've barely noticed any changes is that the legislation doesn't really affect us. We've complied more through a case of "easier to do than the argument down the line", rather than it really being an issue for us. It's stuff like raising the minimum signup age, reducing the...

My thoughts in brief: Decent idea in principle. Poorly implemented. Given a VPN (or fake ID from Google Images/etc) bypasses all of the safeguards within seconds, AND that it's relying on 'random' external companies offering the verification service, means it's effectively pointless and a good...
