    What made you fall in love with coasters?

    I'm pretty sure it was Roller Coaster Tycoon (the original, plus the Added Attractions and Loopy Landscapes expansions) for me, plus growing up very close to Alton Towers

    Real Madrid World | Hala Madrid | GCI Wooden Hybrid Coaster | 2024

    I love football and I love theme parks so you would think this would get me excited but honestly I'm still not seeing how it will work 😂

    Kings Island | Snoopy's Soap Box Racers | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2024

    A bit more mud, lots of footers, shouldn't be too long before it goes vertical now: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02LdMru4k3UQtqS4b2bpPYAdhviySp3DYsB5sAqrL6kAPh5stDBAJYM5wnFHkQYS5Ql&id=100052895164017

    WTF Merlin?

    This is an absolutely radical change, my 2 year old will have to wait until she's about 5 to ride it now. Roughly speaking: 0.9m ~ 2.5 years 1.1m ~ 5 years 1.3m ~ 8.5 years Source for my guesstimates: https://www.onaverage.co.uk/body-averages/average-child-height

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I'm pretty sure Drayton are very restricted on height and noise being very close to a lot of houses. I remember they only got permission to build Apocalypse because it replaced the parachute tower, and I also remember visiting once and they had a big push to stop people screaming, with signs on...

    Toverland's Expansion Plan

    Hopefully the Booster Bike, it's so much lower quality than the rest of the park, and right in the middle so you can't get away from it

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Nothing to worry about, just the vests like on Lech & Formula which don't actually lock if I remember correctly, so don't really make a difference, I guess they just make people feel a bit safer 🤷‍♂️. The styling is great 👍.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    It's so sad that this ride used to look like this: And now it's just a generic roller skater. I guess all that rock work takes some effort to maintain.

    Opinions on The Smiler from alton towers?

    It's pretty under-rated in my opinion. Sure it's rough in places, has bad restraints, terrible queue line, and of course that unforgivable safety record. But I think it a brilliant looking ride, very long, lots of fun parts, and I absolutely love the duelling aspect both on and off ride.

    Rank the coasters you've done that go backwards

    Good topic idea, I'm going to stick with ones that go backwards for a significant portion of the ride (ie. not every swing launch coaster): 1) X2 2) Hagrid's MCMA 3) Fury 4) The Swarm* 5) Mandrill Mayhem 6) Big Grizzly Mountain 7) Superman Escape from Krypton 8) Stunt Fall 9) Irn Bru Revolution...

    Real Madrid World | Hala Madrid | GCI Wooden Hybrid Coaster | 2024

    As an Englishman I must tell you that is *not* football. There's a reason why Real Madrid have never played the Pittsburgh Steelers 😂.

    Best Vekoma SLC (A Stretch)

    As somebody who doesn't mind a bumpy ride, I enjoyed Odyssey, it's big and bad, and a bit under rated IMHO. But yeah it's also a bit of a car crash simulator.

    IAAPA Expo 2023

    This is the clear favourite for me, love it! What would be reeally cool would be if each car on the coaster was different (not just different colour but different shape too); like it's somebody's hot wheels collection. This is both terrible and wonderful; great sense of humour. Nothing wrong...
