Hi guys. When reviewing rides, you often hear enthusiasts trot out the line “You can’t judge it off one ride”, and most people will aspire to get multiple different goes on a ride. Whether to test various different seats and riding conditions or to simply get a better feel for the ride, many...

We should add that it is not just Bedford Borough who have pledged their support. Central Bedfordshire, Luton Borough, Milton Keynes City, North Northamptonshire and West Northamptonshire have also pledged their support...

On a slight side tangent, what is the Single Rider Queue like on Hyperia? Does it tend to offer a notable advantage over the main queue, or is any significant advantage potential negated by it being quite busy? Does it get busy, or is it usually quite quiet? I’m going next month, and I was...

Even though I haven’t ridden the ride yet (I unfortunately went during the extended closure period…), I did get to see the completed Fearless Valley area when I went to Thorpe last month. I think the “front of house” plaza area looks fine. It’s nothing breathtaking, but I think it looks nice...

That looks like great fun, with some nice whippy turns and good speed throughout! It also looks like a fairly well themed coaster by SeaWorld standards, with the station looking quite nice and the onboard sound adding a nice touch!

It could be Lost River Ride at Flamingo Land. That ride is apparently getting some kind of bizarre overhaul that’s involved shortening the lift hill…

He’s not a troll; he’s been a respected member of TS for over 10 years. These things are just a matter of opinion, after all, and everyone will have unpopular opinions. It’s fair to say that I’ve had my fair share of spicy takes over the years!

I assure you they aren’t; here’s the list in question, for context: https://towersstreet.com/talk/threads/is-hyperia-your-top-uk-coaster.7227/page-2#post-473652 It’s worth noting that for whatever reason, TowersStreet seems a bit more subdued on Hyperia in general compared to this site and...

The most uncommon take I’ve seen was one list where the person only ranked Hyperia as their 12th favourite operating UK coaster and 15th favourite including defunct coasters. Things like Spinball Whizzer, Spinning Racer and Rita were placed ahead, and the ride was only placed as their 4th...

That Captain Coaster list is interesting. Personally, my current UK top 10 is as follows: Wicker Man (#8/113, 10/10) Icon (#10/113, 10/10) Stealth (#11/113, 9/10) Oblivion (#12/113, 9/10) Nemesis Inferno (#14/113, 9/10) Nemesis Reborn (#15/113, 9/10) The Swarm (#20/113, 8/10) Megafobia...

That’s absolutely terrible… no matter how much I disagree with Trump’s politics, no one should ever have to endure that. I hope him and his team are OK. For clarity, I liked your post to thank you for the news update rather than because I actually liked the news you were reporting…

Congratulations @misstech! There are so many people hitting milestones at the moment!

Yes, I was referring to something on that sort of scale. I absolutely acknowledge that the South West would never sustain something like a Disney or Universal park, or even a national player like Alton Towers, but I think the region could definitely handle a semi-major park on the scale of...

Congratulations @Esther7; two milestones in one trip is no mean feat!

@Nicky Borrill The interesting thing is that you’ve even excluded the counties of Wiltshire and Bristol from that statistic. Wiltshire has 515,885, and Bristol has 472,500, so you’ve practically got an extra million right there for the South West region! But as @roomraider says, it is worth...

Planet Zoo doesn’t have overly excessive system requirements compared to Planet Coaster despite being a good few years newer, so I don’t see why your current system wouldn’t be able to run Planet Coaster 2 competently, if that’s anything to go by. Apparently, Frontier did considerable...

Hi guys. Despite us English people often acting like we have it badly in terms of major and semi-major theme parks, we actually have a fairly diverse selection spread quite nicely around the country. You have the cluster of major parks around London, you have Alton Towers and Drayton Manor in...
