I can see Saw has been mentioned a few times; for me - there is one particular jolt where the MCBR is. Even from off ride, you can really see the trains violently shake as the snap in the track profile is horrendous.

Extremely sad to see, and really does show how security had lapsed a little - not just here, but other places due to Covid. I know you can’t stop everything but I think most people who have nothing to hide; wouldn’t have any issue with extra security on entry. BBC now has an article online...

I also haven’t done either of them; but I’m 100 confident - a B&M, regardless if it’s weak or not would completely trump a Maurer X-Car. I did really enjoy Shock at rainbow magicland; but the rerideability of a B&M is nothing to be sniffed at in my opinion.

My views are a a little bit screwed; as I’ve done my European parks than UK parks and I’ve not been to Alton Towers since 2014. So out of the 4 parks I’ve been to, Alton Towers, Chessington, Southend Adventure Island and Thorpe Park. So no Blackpool Pleasure Beach coasters or Wicker Man at...

Mate - I honestly think you need to chill out a little bit; this thread is full of soo much negativity on a daily basis and you have a very unhealthy view on everything at the moment. I’m not being selfish not wearing a mask, it’s a personal choice and I couldn’t think of anything worse being...

Good! Making masks compulsory doesn’t exactly give people confidence to go out. Those who want to wear masks, can - and those who don’t - won’t.

Okay, the first photo is a little naughty...

'Don't scream and be serious' Japan theme park tells rollercoaster riders https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-53344447

BBC article on the VAT cut and family days out. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53340768 Basically just saying a lot of business will most likely not pass on the saving.

This is honestly the best thing I have read in a long while; far better then the doom and gloom / negativity of some of the posts in this thread and other bits of the internet.

Compulsory masks is just a sure fire way to kill off business; as many - like myself won't bother going out. I'm all for masks in certain situations, but I'd rather catch the virus and get this mushy thing over and done with.

Yet it was okay for European countries to close their bodies in the early months to other EU citizens?

Although it’s completely understandable; given the mushy world we are currently in - it’s a little disappointing from an enthusiasts point of view. I just hope the delay is worth it!

Very interesting... Or are they just trolling?

@JammyH - And you think Ryanair are any better? Far from it....

But what about the parks which are unable to afford the offerings Mack and Intamin bring to the table? I’d rather see a park get an X-Car with a solid layout than not actually get a new coaster at all... Shock is in a whole different league to Rita and Intamin have built some other shocking...

I’m not overly surprised, I didn’t get a chance to ride Kanonen and I haven’t ridden Euro Express either; however looking through some photos and on ride footage - the location of Euro Express with the built up tower bridge and other facades makes Euro Express look quite exciting and I think the...
