    Alabama’s Rampage and Wales’ Megafobia

    I honestly thought Rampage was going to be pretty rough when we rode it, but it was utterly joyous and a lesson in how to maintain and look after a wooden coaster. Especially one that had sat SBNO for 3 years. Look after your rides or they’ll go to s***. Not much more to said here.

    M&D's Theme Park goes into Administration

    That's an insult to most Six Flags parks. Shame that a load of folks have been made unemployed, especially in times like these when it's very difficult to find alternative employment. But let's face it, it was a glorified fairground with an arcade on the side, and a load of rides that you're...

    Bellewaerde | Wakala | Gerstlauer Family Semi-Shuttle

    This could be pretty fun. Bellewaerde is a really nice park, and from what has been released about it, this ride should suit the place perfectly.

    TusenFryd | Storm | Gerstlauer Invert | 2023

    Some very optimistic speculation in this topic. It'll be a solid ride. Not spectacular, not game-changing, but a ride that the park really needs. Parques Reunidos have a habit of doing this, and I don't expect anything different from them this time around.

    CANCELLED - Basic Beginnings | ALTON TOWERS | 22nd Mar 2020

    Liz and I should be there.

    ElloCoaster - 2019 Wood & Steel Results! {Page 3}

    In short, it's ****ing terrifying.

    Chessington World Of Adventures Have Revealed Elmer's Flying Jumbos In 2020

    I think I know why. I quote from the article: "The first-ever Elmer theme park ride will open at Cheddington World of Adventures in 2020, headlining a full year of activity for the beloved storybook brand. " Quite frankly, it's disappointing that Coasterforce has clearly missed this new theme...

    Knightmare is now scrap metal, y'all can stop wondering

    The only thing going for Knightmare is that it doesn't have this on its doorstep.

    Favorite Defunct Roller Coaster

    My choice also. Shame it had to go, but it was tearing itself apart.

    Sea World San Antonio | Texas Stingray | Wooden Coaster

    The trains are brand new ones, they're not reusing Gwazi's.

    Half Pipe At Särkänniemi To Be Removed.

    Oh well. No big loss here.

    Parc Asterix | Tonnerre 2 Zeus | Tonnerre de Zeus renovation | 2022

    Agreed with a lot of the comments so far. Zeus isn't the ride it once was because of all that's been built in the last 10 years or so, but it's still good fun in a beat-the-crap-out-of-you way. And knowing how much capital the park are investing in the launched Intamin cred, I'd be staggered if...

    Tivoli Gardens replaces two coasters

    37.3 in kilometres per hour is 23.1 mph. - so that may explain it, as there's no way the old ride got up to 37 mph. It would have ripped itself to pieces long ago if it did.

    Dreamworld Australia To Close Tower Of Terror

    Same. I'm due to go there in about 18 months, but wasn't expecting it to still be there by then given all the rumours about its demise. Superman at SFMM was awful, and this by all accounts went even less high up the tower. We'll have to make do with the collection by default.

    Last Cred Review

    Picked up a couple of new creds for me at Walibi Holland yesterday. Untamed: Was a little slow out of the box by RMC standards, but by the afternoon the trains were flying round. The back is ridiculously good. New entry in to my Top 5 European Coasters. Lost Gravity: Quite shaky at points, and...

    Who makes the best corkscrews?

    What David said. Fantasia Special is fab (well it was when it rode it 12 years ago). Here's a link to Lakeland if you're interested: https://www.lakeland.co.uk/

    Lakeland. Honorable mention to this one by Arrow.

    Vortex is leaving Kings Island

    That bit of the park is becoming an Arrow graveyard. I didn't much care for it. It hasn't aged well, and something better can now go in its place.

    Sea World San Antonio | Texas Stingray | Wooden Coaster

    Good point actually! Unless they've flogged the other two already. If I did a bit of digging I could probably find out either way if they hung on to the other lot after Gwazi closed for good.
