    Wild Mouse at BPB Closure - R.I.P. 1958-2017

    It's a bit odd they're not running a charity fundraiser with these, usually when parks auction things off it's for a good cause. Looks like they'll make more money from it dismantled than it brought in running

    Orlando, Atlantic City, Vegas, etc. Skyscrapers | ThrillCorp

    Originally meant to open in 2016. Looking at Theme Park Review, apparently a parking garage was "about to start construction" in 2016, not sure what the status of that is.o_O

    SeaWorld Future Additions Leak Thread

    I'm pretty sure the Super Loop "train" goes all the way round the loop, whereas the Skywarp has a train with a front and rear. As for Disk'Os, I don't know. The Skywarp wasn't on RCDB at first, but Duane Marden added it during IAAPA 2017

    Japanese 1970 5-Sided Racing Coaster.

    Great stuff, I had watched that video before and was sad it's no longer here, but at the same time the coasters themselves didn't look that good

    Ever been on a school trip to a theme park?

    Three times. First in 2011 to Flamingo Land. It was very quiet, with a couple of other schools there. We walked round the zoo and visited the theme park in the afternoon. Later that year we went to Codona's, it's a good day out as there's the rides, bowling and the vertigo (aerial assualt...

    Daxing East | Anshun China | Theme Park

    No I think you're correct, looks funny but whatever works I guess? :) I'm happy that the world will finally get to experience the Golden Horse 11-looper after the Journey to the Stars project stalled. Shame Smiler exists now though

    WTF Merlin?

    That's possible that it was a mistake, though if that is the case it doesn't give me much confidence in their operations. It's similar to the filming on rides incident earlier this year, nobody checks to see if the rules have changed. I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned when he picked up his ride...

    WTF Merlin?

    Not at all, actually the article is rather unclear. I wonder why the Wicker Man (and also the Smiler, according to Alton Towers disability guidelines) are more restrictive than other roller coasters? Much of our public transport network is inaccessible simply due to money not being spent, I...

    WTF Merlin?

    The article says he wasn't allowed on any of the big roller coasters, only the Runaway Mine Train.

    WTF Merlin?

    That's one case where I think they have a point, if the policy hasn't changed why was he allowed on whereas now he's not? I guess as a disabled person myself I feel more strongly here. Very upsetting that they can't assist people while evacuating roller coasters. I was always under the...

    Your Mack Rides Count

    Am fairly certain it is a Mack, I wrote that by mistake :oops:

    Wild Mouse at BPB Closure - R.I.P. 1958-2017

    At least the Wild Mouse parts were actually part of a roller coaster at one point.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Icon is not rough. Personally I found the seats very comfy, enough that I was not distracted at all from the ride. Ride Grand National and everything else will feel smooth as glass :)

    Sand Blaster at Daytona Beach Derails!

    I'm sure Pinfari coasters themselves aren't unsafe, just lack of maintenance. This one was closed down by state inspectors last year

    IOA | Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure | Intamin LSM Launch (Dragon Challenge replacement)

    Looks good, though I'm trying not to follow the construction too closely so it's a nice surprise when I visit. I'm don't miss the Dragons any more - I never got to ride them dueling anyway, and this will be a much better fit for the area IMO

    Is Social Media changing enthusiasts?

    A bit unrelated but I miss the Vertical Horizons wbeiste! I often cited it on Coasterpedia. Facebook links tend to break over time. Am glad some people focus on the content and not just clickbait. IMO while social media has had an impact I wouldn't say it's negative, just a different way of...

    WTF Merlin?

    I've not been. but judging by their menu and prices I won't be going.

    Most Obscure Coaster you've ridden

    This is my rarest. Currently the only rider on Coaster-count. To be honest I didn't travel far, it just showed up in my home town! Image source: me

    Eggs

    As long as the yolk is super runny I don't mind. Sometimes they still manage to overcook them though.
