    Rank the Mack Launch coasters

    This feels like an unpopular opinion but I'd say: 1. Helix (By a mile) 2. Blue Fire 3. Slinky Dog Dash 4. Star Trek 5. Icon I've only been on Icon once but I really didn't care for it at all. I enjoyed STOE a lot. Probably had quite low expectations for it, but I enjoyed it and went for plenty...

    Your most ridden rollercoaster models

    I think for a specific Model it'd probably be B&M inverts, I think I've done 7, but in terms of re-rides I think it's probably Mack Megacoasters just because they're so re-rideable. I've only done 4 of them but I've done Blue Fire and Helix so many times it eclipses anything other than perhaps...

    A park with the best and worst coaster in one!

    I'd say PAV for Shambhala and then that awful El Diablo. I really like Furious Baco, I just can't take too much of it.

    Phantasialand | F. L. Y. | Vekoma Launched Flying Coaster | 2020

    I'm really liking the look of it now. When I saw it bare for some reason I thought it was finished, so glad I was being dumb.

    Next European Park to get a B&M

    I agree that a Port Aventura Dive Coaster seems like the most likely, something big like the US ones would be a big draw in Europe I think, they look so impressive in pics.

    Cruise Lines to add Bolt & Space Cruiser roller coasters (update page 3)

    Jubilee Odyssey cost so much because it's in a place with crazy winds and the ground is crappy for foundations so apparently the supports go as far underground as they are above. I grew up near there and remember all of it in the local papers about how hard and expensive it was to build it there...

    What are your favourite non-coaster attractions?

    Rise of the Resistance. They do so much in that ride. I strongly suggest not spoiling it for yourself by reading any more about it, just wait until you can experience it.

    Disney (WDW & Disneyland) | Tiana's Bayou Adventure | Splash Mountain retheme | 2024

    The recent rethemes based on IPs have all been hits in my opinion. I did Tower of Terror at DL and California Screamin', and then I've been back and done Guardians of The Galaxy and Incredicoaster and I actually prefer the new versions. GoTG is a whole new story, just set in that universe and...

    Disney (WDW & Disneyland) | Tiana's Bayou Adventure | Splash Mountain retheme | 2024

    Who cares if a bunch of white people don't have a problem with possible racism in an old film that a ride is based on? Clearly at least some black people do have a problem with it and maybe you should listen to them rather than explaining that they're wrong and actually the treatment of Dumbo is...

    Disney (WDW & Disneyland) | Tiana's Bayou Adventure | Splash Mountain retheme | 2024

    ...the Tokyo one is in Japan. Near Tokyo. Shanghai Disney doesn't have one, neither does Hong Kong

    Disney (WDW & Disneyland) | Tiana's Bayou Adventure | Splash Mountain retheme | 2024

    I'm really excited about this. I love Splash Mountain, but I'm looking forward to this. Princess and the Frog has some awesome music and a great aesthetic. Hopefully we'll get some Seven Dwarves Mine Train quality animatronics with it rather than new skins for the old ones (the DL ones are...

    Coronavirus: Impact on Theme Parks

    It makes sense to open coasters like Iron Gwazi when they can do a proper event rather than have all the press for it have social distancing and everyone in masks. Not sure how much harm it does having it standing there for a few months before it opens, can't imagine it's much other than the...

    Favorite Drop Tower

    We haven't done many in the US but for my top five worldwide it'd be: 1. Ikaros at Grona Lund 2. Atmosfear at Liseberg 3. Apocalypse at Drayton Manor 4. Mystery Castle at Phantasialand 5. Zumanjaro at Great Adventure I do love all the Tower of Terror Rides but they don't really feel like drop...

    Your favourite (and most hated) Theme Park Hotels/Accomodation

    I've stayed in the Shark hotel a couple of times, and while I'm happy enough to stay there again when it's on a super cheap deal thanks to not having to drive in the morning and having the fastpass, I'll go buy a breakfast rather than having one of their free ones. So, so bad.

    We loved Bell Rock, especially the breakfast!

    Your favourite (and most hated) Theme Park Hotels/Accomodation

    My wife and I tend to stay on-site whenever we can at theme parks, partly because of the travel convenience (so nice waking up and walking to the turnstiles or collapsing back into bed after a day in the park) but also because it's all a part of the experience. In the places we've been to...

    Europa Park | Rulantica Extensions | Waterpark | 2023

    I assume it's like what Disney do with WDW and Paris and the land has been bought just to stop development there that could interfere with what they want to do. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

    SeaWorld Orlando | Pipeline: The Surf Coaster | B&M Surf Coaster | 2023

    I think it's going to be like a Vekoma booster bike but a wing coaster, maybe with the ability to tilt forward or backward. The Surf part will come from it being like a Jetski. Imagine a preshow part where you're alongside water and it bobs up and down like youre floating, then it launches and...

    Kent, England | The London Resort | Entertainment Complex

    Once construction starts I'll get really excited, but I mean like rides getting installed, if not I'll keep assuming it'll all fold and the land will be sold off for housing or warehouses. I really hope in 4 years we have a CF live with Matt N as the guest of the honour there. Sent from my...

    Milestones in Your Counts

    I just started using the logride app and realised I'm at 200, which means the last new ride I went on was my 200th. It was the bloody Dreamcatcher at Bobejaanland on the Coasterforce Live. I thought it was a bit crap. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
