    "Now Showing"

    So... Infinity War What nonsense. To be fair, it was the best Avengers film, but that bar was really low. As Snoo says, this is a Thanos film, so I think it's worth looking at from his point of view. So Thanos is a great character. He's got the most depth out of all of the characters in the...

    Homemade inverted roller coaster

    No. Hixee was being sarcastic. More than happy for somebody with such talent and skill to put this on here. It's really interesting to read about, so keep us updated as well please :) Sent from my E6683 using Tapatalk

    Homemade inverted roller coaster

    OMG. Not another amateur coaster builder, cluttering up these pages with all their fantastic engineering projects that make no money... :P Seriously, WOW! There's "home made" and then this is the next level. I love the way the trees help to spin the car on the spinning mouse. Please keep it...

    Alton Towers Recreation In Parkitect

    He knows and mentions it in the video (did you not watch it?). It's some next level playing anyway on the game - incredible. Even at my most practised I was never that solid at RCT/3. So yeah, I hope he does carry on because it's pretty awesome. Though he doesn't know Alton as well he thinks...

    Specific Coaster History Question (first chain lift)

    The patent for the toboggan ride mentions a chain lift: https://patents.google.com/patent/US528224 This was 1894, so I suspect any toboggan ride built after that point. The chain dog was patented in 1905: https://patents.google.com/patent/US793333 Which I would say is the first "modern" chain...

    The TV we watch...

    No love for the new series of a series of unfortunate events? Watched the first couple of episodes and it's still great. So fed up with the DC universe series. Supergirl is dire, Arrow is three series overdue for being cancelled and Legends of Tomorrow is pure pants. At least LoT knows it's...

    Off the Radar Accidents at BPB

    I remember "fairly regular" news of incidents at the Beach during the 70's/80's. Most due to rider idiocy (like standing on the Nash prior to belts being fitted) I've also looked for news articles, but it's too long ago and not sensational enough. Anyone remember the accident at Rhyl? A car...

    The TV we watch...

    They all run to a very similar formula though. Jessica Jones a little different, but mostly fits First three or four episodes = finding a "friendly face" to fight against "the bad guy". Episodes 3-8 = either the hero or the friend almost dies as they find out the bad guy isn't the BIG bad guy...

    Pleasure Island, Cleethorpes to Close

    There's a crazy old hermit - lives out in the dunes, by the sea. He's called Old Ben Knobby and he'd love to show you his sabre. He's not interested in anything on sale here though :P

    Pleasure Island, Cleethorpes to Close

    I didn't get much further than the above due to the atrocious spelling and the constant utter crap on sale. Just junk after junk. Once I saw Howie's opinions on Star Wars films for sale, I knew there was nothing good on offer and gave up. Sent from my E6683 using Tapatalk

    Describe your last poo with a coaster/ride/park name.

    Windjammer and Log Jammer for those without enough roughage. Stealth (when it hits without a splash) Nemesis - where it just won't flush. Nemesis Inferno - as above, but the was caused by a Vindaloo Oblivion - don't look down! Dragon's Fury - morning after an all you can eat Chinese buffet...

    Fantastic old coaster footage/pics

    Those rapids are fantastic. I also love the amount of decor used on Scenics... It's the reason that's what they were called (and - apart from a lack of upstops - why they aren't really thrilling. Though Yarmouth's is actually pretty good. Sent from my E6683 using Tapatalk

    Thorpe Park retheming X to The Walking Dead

    OMFG. This confuses me so much. How the hell do I deal with this flustercluck? So... I always rated X:\NWO as the worst coaster ever (below Go-Gators) because of one simple fact. With a 1.4m height limit, it was in the "thrill" category, which it fails to do in even the slightest of ways. With...

    Fantastic old coaster footage/pics

    Friction burns are character building :) The Fun House at Southport was okay, but couldn't hold a candle to the old Blackpool one. It's quite scary that Southport has been gone over ten years now. And AA. It's weird to think of the mid/late 2000's as now being a point in history that people...
