I made this post early a day before the end of my Belgium trip with a little too much confidence, as the day after making & posting this list, Vicky the Ride at Plopsa Coo failed to open on my visit after multiple test runs. I'd argue that this is my new worst coaster spite as Dreamcatcher...
Oh trust me I am. The lack of colour blending, Planet Coaster style box station, incredibly bland surrounding buildings, the removal of the splash plaza, no lights, and that absolutely hellish looking queue line, it badly feels like Merlin is dropping the ball on presentation of what is going to...
Day 1: Travel
Well my new biggest solo trip has been slightly overdue for a while, with the last one being that 2.5 day Denmark trip. I needed to go bigger, and I picked Spain. This originally was meant to be a 5 day trip that involved both Madrid parks & Barcelona parks, but something about it...
I'll just compile a list of all my non-kiddie spites and update when something changes.
-Super Booster (Brighton Pier; disassembled without prior notice)
-Rampage (Big Sheep; rain)
-Rockin Roller (Botton's Pleasure Beach; all cars were covered up)
-Sky Tower (Tivoli Friheden; no reason given)...
train update: no train, but we *do* have a queue update, and can confirm this looks incredibly cheap and embarrassingly bad.
I know "it's unfinished" and all that but this looks hopeless. Running contender for world's worst queue line?
Looks like a fun ride, but why is the ride still a half-construction site?

With significant mud portions in the Nemesis queue, and the new Hyperia buildings looking very bare & bland, this does spark a worrying trend of Merlin dropping the ball...
Test Track at Epcot is closing on June 17th for a refurbishment. As there is new concept art, could this be yet another reimagining of the ride rather than some more routine maintenance?
Rocket looks... awful with a strange alternating colour scheme which is most likely intentional as the new darker purple was seen before the ride was built up.
Some lore from multiple comments: Rocket had severe issues when it was Airbender, where only one car was ever allowed to run on the...
Not sure how "small news" this is.
Vekoma is allegedly suing B&M as they claim Pipeline the Surf Coaster and its 'wave-jumping' seat movement infringes on one of their patents (from around 2011).

Overdue for some rerides on Rita and 13, but finally got my redemption rides in on Nemesis.
Always liked the idea of getting as many rides as possible on all my favourite roller coasters, and seeing others do the same. Riding new coasters takes priority, but I have a worrying amount of single-figure ride counts on coasters that I love to bits.
#1 Stealth - Thorpe Park - 72 rides
#2...
Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I can't stop thinking about it. But the whole Top Thrill 2 thing is so weird to me when it's very clear that Cedar Point wants to forget, and not even mention, the "original attraction" nor acknowledge its existence anymore. So why is it so similar...
To me, Ghost Train at Blackpool Pleasure Beach always stuck out to me as "it fits the criteria to be a roller coaster but I've never counted it personally". I could, and rcdb even has a little note about this ride.
I do feel confident with counting powered coasters and water coasters like the...
