    Go Ape for Chessington WoA, summer 2016

    I love Go Ape! So much fun and I actually think its a great choice for Chessington, but yea unfortunately the price is a bit steep. Hopefully the park can work out some sort of deal.

    Most anticipated rides 2016

    Taron and Wildfire - So excited to ride my first RMC. I won't ride it this year but really looking forward to the reviews about Lighting Rod, looks so awesome! And Mako, such a great addition to the coaster line up in Florida.

    Your most expensive cred

    Dragon at Legoland - Went there on an impulse once, paid full price to get in (£48 at the time - ouch!) and since it was heaving only went on 4 rides including Dragon - so around £12 for the coaster. Dreadful day, ha! :lol: Other than that probably one of the coasters at Winter Wonderland - I...

    Your Favorite Theme Park Moments

    Without a doubt the moment that always sticks out for me is the time I was about to join a 2 and a half hour queue for Soarin and some random woman came up to us and offered us fastpass tickets because she was leaving. Saviour! Also seeing a Disney castle for the first time was pretty special...

    Do you count a coaster if you cant remember riding it?

    As others have said, I have to either remember riding a coaster clearly or have some sort of evidence to count it. I'm fairly sure i've ridden one of the creds on the Isle of Wight and one at Hastings but the memories are so vague I don't count them.

    How many different number 1s have you had?

    I'd never really thought about it before I became an enthusiast. Its been Shambhala for around 3 and half years now which was the coaster that really kick-started my interest. Before that it was probably Stealth.

    Roughest/Worst coaster you've ridden?

    This! El Condor at Walibi Holland gets a mention though for being especially dreadful.

    Highlights of your 2015 Season

    Park related: Best new cred - Helix Worst new cred – El Condor at Walibi Holland Most surprising new cred – Probably Shock at Rainbow Magicland, a decent coaster with some nice airtime and speed. Biggest spite – There’s been a few this season unfortunately. I would say Space Mountain at DLP...

    What type of enthusiast are you?

    Coaster and Park enthusiast. As much as I love coasters, I also enjoy many other types of rides and like to get the most out of a day at a park and ride as much as possible.

    Good launch vs good first drop

    Ahh this is a really tough one for me. The thing is for every amazing launch there are about 5 average ones, whereas I would argue good first drops are a bit more consistent. However nothing gets my heart beating like sitting on Stealth and waiting for it to go. So a good launch. But only just.
