Nemesis Inferno had a single rider queue at the ride exit back in the mid 00's and not many people seemed to use it. Can't remember specifics but could get 30+ rides on it quite easily. Nemesis at Towers had the same but think that was maybe just for a season or two? Remember getting on every...

Icon is basically a family coaster really isn't it? A very good family coaster and a really crap thrill ride.

Mack don't crack.

Brilliant review @Matt N I've always liked Hyperia but in recent weeks it feels like it's reached it's full potential. It really is incredible now, taking the elements with a bit more pace and aggression. I do have to disagree with your praise for the sense of speed though. For me it doesn't...

28 miles from Thorpe, but was 18 miles away as a teenager. Used to go multiple times a season with friends and family. Then 2010ish onward I'd begrudgingly visit once every few years because it was a dump. Purchased an Annual Pass this season for Hyperia and I'm there every couple of weeks...

Have you played Texas Chainsaw Massacre? I've not played Dead By Daylight but they're very similar apparently. Started playing it earlier this year when it came out and god knows how many hours I've spent on it.

I tend to marathon elite coasters, I'll often choose to re ride good coasters over getting new creds in the same park. So there aren't many I've only done once! Kingda Ka - Done front row early on in the day and figured I'd get back on it at some point. Didn't bother as the queue was quite big...

No I think you're bang on and I'm a regular poster on there. Understandable though really, Alton Towers is a special place to many and Nemesis is a world class B&M. I've got 9 rides on Hyperia now and whilst I wouldn't class it as 'elite', it's by far the best in the UK. It's never quite blown...

I rode Skyrush last October, so just before it closed for the refurb. It absolutely tried to kill me, was so happy it was as good as I'd remembered. So good in fact that I chose to marathon the back row rather than get a night ride on the excellent Wildcats Revenge. I'll be gutted if the new...

The Brown Bastard doesn't quite have the same ring to it tbf.

Got 5 rides on Voltron on Friday. Needless to say, as a full package it is absolutely world class. Just an incredible experience from the queue entrance to ride exit. Europa Park has always been the best in the world and now there's even more reason to keep going back. As for the actual...

Hope this doesn't mean they're gonna slow down the lift hill speed. Edit - clearly fake isn't it. You cant just lob up drive tyres like that in a few hours with no one noticing

I've always avoided opening days but felt duty bound to be at Thorpe on Friday. It's the park I grew up with, from Wicked Witches Haunt and Magic Mill as a nipper, to watching Colossus, Inferno and Stealth being built as a teen. These days I find it pretty boring and the rides all below average...

Managed to get 4 rides on Hyperia today. My initial ride on row 3 was very good but didn't hit as hard as I'd hoped. As expected though; it gets better and better throughout the day. Got lucky with a back row ride in the evening and it was absolutely hauling. There is plenty of airtime...

Regarding the queue and overall aesthetic, I think it's fair to point out that... it's a construction site. Let's wait until it's finished before fully judging it.

Should've gone with Jonny Rocket.

I do find Taron to be can be inconsistent tbf. When it's running a bit slower it's still very good, but more in a nice friendly/fun way. And I can see how people may find it a bit of a let down. Sometimes though it's absolutely hauling around Klugheim and you get those twisted ejector pops 🤌
