    Children's Grand Park in South Korea still has the train from South Korea's first roller coaster: https://rcdb.com/3445.htm#p=17586 (I'm not sure how to link to the image directly from my phone)

    Nah, if you could build two seperate roller coasters, or two dueling coasters together that create a big impression, which would you go for?

    Maybe just because it looks cool, even if it doesn't duel

    Removal of G-Force at Drayton Manor (2005 - 2018)

    It would be fun if it was longer and the restraints didn't try to cut you in half. The lift hill is pretty cool though

    What do you like doing while waiting in lines for roller coasters?

    They do have benches in some queues in China. Almost all parks allow anything in line as long as it's properly secured/put in a bin when boarding. Off the top of my head some rides at Universal Studios (Revenge of the Mummy, Battlestar Galactica, Rip Ride Rockit etc) and now Steel Vengeance...

    Theme park YouTubers: what do you think of them?

    I'm not fussed about other channels but that is one I can't stand! After listening to his on ride commentry on a few videos I've never watched TPR again. I only follow a handful of channels. I like Theme Park Crazy plus "MiyaPA Masane" posts some nice Chinese coaster POVs.

    M&D's announce £3 Million Expansion.

    I'm sure you all know already, but there is a credit at Landmark near Aviemore. Beautiful part of the country and well worth a visit! There's more to Scotland than theme parks:)

    WTF Merlin?

    Considering its in London, Thorpe appears very hard to get to without a car. Maybe this puts tourists off? How many people rent a car in London?

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    There's no way that coaster is 50 feet tall. Apart from that, a nice to the point article from the BBC. Glad nobody was hurt

    M&D's announce £3 Million Expansion.

    Anything would be an improvement for the coaster scene in Scotland! But I don't see how £3 million will cover a hotel expansion, all weather some, play area and have money to spare for a new roller coaster. Is it possible M&D's will bring in one of their travelling coasters again?

    In your opinion, what is the best UK wooden rollercoaster?

    Easily Wicker Man, I enjoyed it a lot. grand National and Big Dipper were too rough for me last time I tried them. I rode Wild Mouse once in 2013 and loved it at the time, not sure what I'd think of it if I could ride it now. Nick Streak and Blue Flyer are fun. I haven't tried Antelope or Megafobia

    How do you deal with your “loose articles”?

    Glasses phone and money stays in my pockets, everything else (suncream, food etc) I either don't take or carry in a bag which gets left in the station while on rides I don't know what I would do if I couldn't leave my bag in the station, the only time this has been the case was at Universal...

    Not enough track for the height same problem with Intamin ZacSpins. Looks like a fun concept IMO but the trims kill the pacing :(

    Alton Towers 18th August 2018

    Thanks for posting Will your tickets still be valid for your return visit? Feels like a shame to drive all that way for only half a day on park. Sounds like you had a good time though!

    Intamin OTSRs; like them or loathe them?

    I chose "Don't mind them", on Cheetah Hunt and Stealth I don't remember them affecting the ride quality but I found Rita's restraints uncomfortable especially after riding Icon the day before
