Liz and I will be there. Hotel & tickets booked. I'm looking forward to propping up the bar at the end of the day.

They're both called Vertical Velocity now. The SFDK version was identical to SFGAm's Impulse coaster when it opened in 2001, until it was discovered that SFDK had exceeded the 150ft maximum height limit imposed for attractions at the park. It was closed in 2002 and modified to its current...

Had my appendix taken out in an emergency operation on Christmas Eve 2004. Spent the next three days off my face on morphine while I recovered. One of the more eventful Christmases I've had.

Just got mine and Liz's for £50 return as well. Shaping up nicely!

Amazing! That's a dead good price. We're doing 3 nights as well. Defo not cheap on resort, but I've not been in 10 years and Liz has never been so don't mind paying a bit more this time around.

For anyone looking to book resort accommodation for the PortAventura Live, there's free cancellation (up to 16th November) on the official PortAventuraWorld website, and on Booking.com. According to both sites the only remaining rooms are at Hotel PortAventura. Hotel El Paso is fully booked...

It just looks so weak.

Spite-ning Rod has topped literally every other spite I've had. Even my China trip in 2014 when I got royally ****ed over by the weather. I'll look at going back in 2018 or 2019 when it better be working.

I missed out a couple of weeks ago, and now it sounds like it's gonna be hit or (mostly) miss for quite some time. Whatever needs to be done, I'd give it another year before they can get it running consistently.

Great report! I'm taking Liz here next week so I'll be sure not to get her hopes up too much. Maybe Chessington are slowly getting rid of anything that could be a fire risk, hence the lack of walls on Dragon Falls. And the fiberglass facade on Scorpion Train or whatever it's called now. I...

Glad to hear that Milky Way is still holding up nicely - it was fab when I visited 10 years ago. The Ultra Twister is also a good laugh if a little clunky in places. The rest of the creds are pretty much as I remember them - except for the Shuttle Loop because I have that cred before it was...

That was the most intense cred run I've ever done. I was already pissed off at myself for smashing my phone in Six Flags America so I was determined to do as much as possible. In about 2 hours I did Skyrush, Comet, Superdooperlooper, Great Bear, Trailblazer, Sidewinder, Storm Runner, Cocoa...

I'd agree with that. Coaster was the biggest surprise I've had for a long time.

Went there a couple of years ago and it's a really nice park with plenty to do. It could do with a couple more decent creds, so this will help do the job and then some.

Got delayed by 2 hours driving to La Ronde because of a huge delay at border control getting in to Canada. I get to the park and it's rammed. All the creds have a line approaching 1 hour if not more. End up buying the Platinum Flash Pass which turned out to be the best decision I've made at...

In 4 visits, I have never been spited by Odyssey at Fantasy Island.

I'm sure they'll squeeze in something drab about how Gemini was the world's tallest hybrid coaster when it opened 40 years ago (in 2018) and how the new thing is reclaiming the record. Longest wait between hybrid coaster world records at the same amusement park or some other utter bollocks.

Can imagine after all the Wildfire permit faff, they don't want to take the risk on anyone pulling the rug from under them on such a big investment. But if all goes to plan, this is an incredible ride to add. Got really excited looking at the artists impressions that were previously mooted, but...

Hero, Time Warp, Soarin' Eagle, Trombi. So 4. I'd rather list the amount of times I've thrown up my own stomach lining. Which I'm delighted to say is a lot more.

If this happens, I'm gutted they're not spiting the awful Mack E-Motion coaster next door. Looks pretty fab, but they'll have to get the original working first if this ends up getting built.
