I can't wait for the express pass tickets to feature a smiling gandalf saying "You SHALL pass!"

A hoverboard themed surf coaster could be a neat idea... Also lotr does seem tricky to make in to a ride. I assume it would be based on the Peter Jackson films, and the last one of those was published over 20 years ago, so most of the actors will have aged significantly (although something just...

it looks fun, but kind of rough and Shakey, although this depends on what they used to film it to some extent. I really don't understand why parks put out POVs that don't show off their newest coaster in the best light. Getting a 4k60 stabilised POV is really not that hard or expensive to do.

Looks interesting, more of a twister style layout than I was expecting. One thing I'll never understand is why anyone would release an official POV at 25fps. It just looks jerky and bad.

Could be worth trying acupressure bands, I think they can be used for seasickness but may help and shouldn't cause drowsiness. Other then that make sure you're well hydrated when riding coasters.

Imagine if people only went to the pub with the best value... All there would be is wetherspoons. I like a Wetherspoon's, and it's a safe bet for a cheap pint, but many smaller pubs have a unique charm to them, even if some are a bit run down. I always try and get the best bang for my buck...

For anyone who doesn't have a ticket, the event date of may 11 IS included in the lowest tier of the Merlin annual pass (discovery) currently on sale priced at £79. If you're planning on visiting Thorpe park or Chessington on a non peak day this year, it's probably a good investment.

Thanks! I'll try and have a review video up soon!

Looks slow.... Agree it looks very awkward and has very strange pacing. It's like they gave them an option of multiple launches and a turntable and they agreed without thinking how they would factor in to the ride.

Rode it the other day and, well, it's a top spin. It looks good at night and they've designed it so that each side is very similar (unlike the wall vs fire side of talocan), but it's still just a top spin, which isn't my favourite ride. Does it announce if its going to do a different cycle? All...

Looks slow This should be a good addition to the park though, Loki is rather awesome

First the removal of Gazprom sponsorship and now it seems like this could be the end of the Russian area of Europa Park. Could we see a Ukraine area at some point?

Do I really have to go to M&D's? I've managed to avoid it this far! Maybe we could get a group together and see how many different parks we can hit over a weekend or something?

I've got an interview down south on the 28th, was planning on going to Thorpe after, but this could work on the way back instead

Really sad to see it close, the ECC camping trips there were brilliant and night rides on megafobia were epic. I wonder what will happen to the coasters? Speed has to be snapped up by someone.
