I rode my 50th Vekoma on my most recent park trip, so may as well post here: all of my manufacturers where I've ridden at least 10 of their coasters

From one of my favourite parks to one of my least favourites. Day 5: Walygator Grand Est #319 Monster is a relocated inverted coaster from Japan, and what I believe is the largest roller coaster that's ever been relocated. Starting life at Expoland, it was closed with the park in 2007 after a...

That having a low credit count is actually one of the highlights of being an enthusiast. I see people with under 100 credits thinking to themselves "I wish I had as many coasters ridden as you guys" but they always seem to miss the fact that when your credit count is "low", then that means...

The decision is being made not to go forwards with the Rulantica trip report - apologies. However, if you have any burning questions (such as my favourite slides or how the park works or what happens in Rulantica) then feel free to ask stuff and I'll answer to the best of my ability. Day 4...

I agree there - the Mako hills look extremely promising, I've actually forgotten just how much SiSta straightens out which is definitely a big contributor to my issue. Mako looks to rectify that issue perfectly, and suddenly I have a lot more excitement for it! Yeah, I did neglect to mention...

There was a full second day (report to come) where we stayed from open to close, and we did eventually get everything on the to-do list (including the silly dark rides) with about three or four hours to spare for rerides. During this time for rerides I was able to enjoy the park far more and...

Day 3: Europa Park and Rulantica Part 1: Europa Park I've heard excellent things about Voltron, let's figure out what we're doing then. Obviously it was the first ride we went to. Located in the new Croatia themed area, #305 Voltron Nevera is about Nikola Tesla, Mr. John Electricity himself...

Nid des Marsupilamis at Parc Spirou Province is for sale. https://www.schausteller.de/anzeigenmarkt/achterbahn-25-meter-hoch-der-eyecatcher-fuer-jeden-freizeitpark-255893.html The photo shows Wilde Hilde but the opening date & height matches that of Nid.

Thorpe Park. The general consensus with me is to visit at least three times a year (in order to pay off the annual pass). I almost didn't renew at at all for 2023, but I ended up going for it and barely paid off the AP. 2019: at least 4 visits 2020: at least 2 visits 2021: 3 visits 2022: 3...

Day 2: Erlebnispark Tripsdrill It's going to be weird having no travel notes - all of our drives have been "it went smoothly, we drove from A to B in relatively quick time with no issues". So with nothing to say on that behalf, may as well get straight into the meat of the day. Today was a big...

Day 1: Holiday Park We started with a swift drive to Holiday Park which went past like a breeze as we introduced ourselves properly and had interesting stuff to share, then suddenly we were there. Travel notes will probably not be as much of a thing as they are during my public transport...

I've known about Coaster Breaks ever since its conception - a small group of 7 coaster maniacs get driven around parks by a tour guide for a week or so, visiting many places in the process. Being a very "I love public transport!" guy, going on one of these trips sounded fun but was never really...

Of course! I still have a week left of coastering before I'm home, so may be a while, but sit tight.

Has just occurred to me that this thread should probably be unpinned as the roller coaster is now open!
