    Theme park moments that gave you goosebumps

    Have to say that sounds amazing, as it goes up and down looking between the lights of the stars and the lights of the town

    Parks with the best defunct ride line-ups?

    It really is a big list, can add submission to that as well. I would still prefer the quality of the Flamingo Land flats though as Terroriser and Top Gun were top notch, in my opinion even better than Submission and Ripsaw If we are talking on numbers Towers and Blackpool are far high but on...

    The ageless design of B&M

    B&M's are just great and the oldest one I have seen is Kumba at Bush Gardens Tampa and it was a great looking ride and when I found its age on my return home it was a real surprise as you say with the others they just dont feel that old. Though the coaster themselves seems good some of the...

    If I get back there will have to try and figure it out, the last airtime hill was brilliant I thought. Great ride just rankings are all down to taste, not many like dive coasters but I love them

    Parks with the best defunct ride line-ups?

    Blackpool for its age will have loads of former rides, think it shows that a ride like the Virginia Reel closed in 1982, which was before a lot of the others mentioned here even opened, so it shows the age of the park comparatively. ( I remember one called the Vikingar which I think was rethemed...

    Theme park moments that gave you goosebumps

    That is another amazing one, I missed the turn off and kept going into town and got a similar view. When the Pepsi Max is big to you its so good seeing so many big rides all together:)

    Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

    Finally got on this one today after a couple of hours wait, thoroughly well worth it Theming is excellent, even if the music did grate on me a bit after a while, seats are really comfortable for a very large gentleman such as my self, the ride was so smooth, love the fast back and forward turns...

    Canadas Wonderland September 2017

    I think the 4 North American Gigas get paired off on manufacturer, so I would probably have the reverse feelings of what you said where if I ever went to Kings Dominion I wouldnt be expecting much so I would enjoy I305 more Steel Dragon sounds great, how smooth a ride is it? I love a bit...

    Maverick was no.11 ( now number 12 as the Wicker Man blew me away today and would come in at 7 moving everything below down. Maverick is great but I did get bashed about a bit off it, hence it being a bit lower down. If you like that sort of low to the ground intense ride then its amazing but I...

    Parks with the best defunct ride line-ups?

    In the UK it has to be Flamingoland Coasters Bullet Magnum Force Corkscrew Thunder Mountain Flat Rides Top Gun Terroriser Wave UFO Flamingo Star

    What was your first coaster to feature a launch?

    Probably Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris if the Bullet at Flamingoland doesnt count ( it did launch you up backwards at the start)

    How crowded do you like an amusement park?

    B, just enough people to fill the rides, went to BPB in May last year and most of the coasters were only running with between 4 and 8 people on and it wasn't great

    Mourning a loss

    Along with the Ultimate, Nemesis and Oblivion these 2 were in my top 5 for so long. The bullet was so forceful and Magnum was just a great ride, it had only 3 loops but for me had so much more to it than any of the record chasers ( for inversions at least) that came later down the line. As...

    What is your top 10 to do list?

    My list may seem quite basic to some of the amazing ones you guys have: 1) TTD- It broke down the week before I went to Cedar Point, was devastating to be standing next to it and not being able to ride 2) Kingda Ka 3) Steel Vengeance 4) Fury 325 5) Formula Rossa 6) Red Force 7) Shambhala...

    Theme park moments that gave you goosebumps

    As a kid: First time seeing Oblivion back when it first opened and thinking how is it not going to fall off, in this day and age of beyond vertical drops being common place it may seem nothing but back then it was really something special First ride on the bullet at Flamingo Land, it just...

    I found this to be worse than the pepsi max, it just hurt. Im quite a tall guy so maybe the restraints don't punch the heck out of you throughout hence more enjoyment?

    Have only been on the 93 but my top 10 for perusal and comments: 10) Stealth ( Thorpe Park)- Speedway theming with a fast forceful launch, cool top hat element with a nice breathless moment at the top. Fun every time I've ridden 9) Swarm (Thorpe Park)- Amazing theming, love the feeling of wing...

    Overrated parks

    It's a really good park, has a bit of everything really especially with the big 4 which are well known, a great invert in Banshee a classic woodie and a modern woodie in the beast and MT and a great Hyper in Diamonback Some of the other rides are good to add to the collection to such as the...

    Whats your favorite Merlin Park?

    As others have said I have only done the UK parks but for me at the moment I give the edge to Thorpe Park. Stealth and Swarm are my favourite 2 rides in the UK slightly ahead of Nemesis for top tier rides. I would say the second tier at Alton towers is better with Oblivion, Rita and Thirteen...
