One of those tiny, fifteen second travelling mine train coasters (I forget the exact one but I think I have it logged on coastercount, which I rarely update tbf). It technically does count but I feel kind of dirty counting it lol

Watching the test videos and I still just can’t believe a ride like this is about to exist here in the UK lol 🥲

Colossus at Thorpe Park. I don’t know why and I know people hate it/find it rough (although I haven’t been on it since the retrack) but I just love it and never get tired of it, it’s pure non-stop fun for me.

I couldn’t tell you exact numbers but my most visited park is definitely Thorpe Park and my most ridden cred there is probably…I mean, it’s probably Flying Fish on a technicality given the short queue times and the fact my friends and I rode it about 15 times in a day once when we were...

Updating my ranking here now that I’ve ridden them all as of finally doing Stealth (and re-ridden a couple of others)… 1) Swarm 2) Colossus* 3/4) Stealth and Inferno, tied 5) TWD* 6) Fish 7) Being pushed down the stairs in a trolley 8) SAW *These are the only two I didn’t get on yesterday...

Late to the party for this ride, but my last new cred was Stealth at Thorpe Park… I’ve been to Thorpe 5 times now (over the course of over a decade lol) but had never been on Stealth before this trip. I’m autistic so I’m interested in coasters in a very intense, nerdy, researcher sort of way...

I once had a dream wherein a new coaster was installed on Brighton pier and I was sat watching it from the window of a seafront hotel and witnessed one of the trains derailing and flying into the sea, complete with riders. But instead of calling an ambulance I just started reassuring fellow...

Colossus is my favourite coaster at Thorpe x

Just Cliffhanger at Blackgang chine (RIP). Although technically I wasn’t the only person on the ride, my friend was there as well, but as we were together I feel like that counts. We rode twice at different times of day and both times we were the only people on the ride lol

Only just heard about this! Fond childhood memories of the Cliffhanger and actually went back for a nostalgia trip with friends over the summer - glad I got to ride it one last time then. I’m sort of gutted it’s not being replaced with another coaster (especially as I’m not a big fan of spinning...

The biggest flaw for me personally is that I’ve been to Thorpe about three times since it opened and I’ve still never been on the bloody thing (and not for lack of trying, when it first opened I thought it sounded sick). It’s always either closed/not working, has an 8000 hour queue or both. The...

Since I assume my next park will be Thorpe (it’s closest to me & I have friends who want to go soon), Stealth. It’s the only cred there I don’t have. It’s never spited me or anything, I’m just very scared of heights, but I’m determined to woman up lol

Thorpe Park is my closest (major) park and the one I'm most likely to be able to persuade friends to tag along to, so most likely that. Might try and get to Alton Towers or BPB at some point as well, maybe in 2021. I would have been going to Nagashima Spa Land and Universal Studios Japan if my...
