    Cedar Point | Siren's Curse | Vekoma Tilt Coaster | 2025

    ElToroRyan has made a short analysis video. Seems that the most popular theory is that this is Six Flags Mexico's Tilt. I am now thinking it might be very late in the game for a 2025 opening.

    Cedar Point | Siren's Curse | Vekoma Tilt Coaster | 2025

    Well ... I wasn't expecting that. Doubtful it will be open in time for my visit on memorial day weekend so it's a shame I'll miss it, but I bet it will look awesome on the skyline.

    "Big Mack and Fries" - Thorpe Park, 29th September 2024

    Same here, I've not been on it yet either. I'm at Thorpe that Saturday so hopefully there is a good chance it will be open at some point. 🤞 If it's not then I'll try not to act too disappointed 😅

    Rank the Mack Launch coasters

    Time for an update 1: Helix Still my favourite Mack by some margin. It has everything I want in a coaster. 2: Ride to Happiness A fantastic ride, although I don't rate it as highly as others. I can't deny it has moments that are unlike any other coaster I have done. 3: Icon While it's fallen...

    Benelux Deluxe (Toverland, Efteling, Bobbejaanland) - August 2024

    Great TR! I did a similar trip about 18 months ago and I agree that getting to Toverland by public transport is a lot easier to get to than it looks. The Dutch don't mess about when it comes to urban planning and rail connections. Fenix is definitely one of the strongest wing coasters there is...

    WTF Merlin?

    When did Thorpe Park stop doing 2 day tickets? I'm sure they used to. Not really a big gripe, but it would of saved me a bit of money as I am staying in a local hotel and I want to make the most of my time. I think I might just folk out for the silver season pass, which to be fair is cheaper...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    I'm hedging my bets that it will even be open for season start in 2025, I'm have already booked my trip to Cedar Point in May next year with the expectation it won't be open, but it will be a pleasant surprise if it is. I think it's always going to be a problematic ride no matter who builds it...

    Where is your local park and how often do you visit?

    Technically my closest park is Gullivers World Warrington which is an 11 mile drive. I used to go about once a year for three years as a child (I grew up on the east side of Manchester so we were further away at the time) I haven't been since I was about 7, but of course there isn't a reason or...

    Planet Coaster 2 Announcement

    The emphasis on watersides was expected given the demand and I am sure it will be a lot of fun in addition to what's already in the game. The news about adding weather is music to my hears as it will add so much realism. My only hope is that we see more modern coasters and advanced coaster...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Your favourite coasters at Blackpool Pleasure Beach

    I've got to admit that I still adamantly love Icon despite acknowledging it's minor setbacks. It was the only steel coaster in the UK to actually focus on having real airtime, Hyperia might make Icon look a bit naff now, but despite that I always look forward to re-riding it. There is quite a...

    I did a day trip to Ireland yesterday to visit Emerald Park. I managed to just about get all the credits before going home . The park was busy with school trips so not the most ideal conditions. #236 - Fianna Force My first order of business upon arriving was riding the brand new Vekoma STC...

    I always found it amusing when my mum used to claim that it was my dream to go to nine flags.
