    Most Beautiful coaster

    Anything that looks like it's supported by scaffolding is ugly AF. I'm gonna nominate White Cyclone at Nagashima Spaland. Average ride but it looks amazing, especially from overhead shots.

    Your Boomerang/SLC Count.

    Wait till you see my Wacky Worm/Big Apple count.

    Your Boomerang/SLC Count.

    23 Boomerangs and 24 SLCs of varying models. Plus 3 Invertigos and 4 GIBs. Feel a bit dirty.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach | Icon | Mack Multi-Launch

    Alpina Blitz does have a fair amount of queue/bag exchange area in the building as well. You'd imagine Blackpool would lump the whole lot in one building like the Big One and Avalanche, but it almost looks too small to put everything on that footprint. And won't this have 3 trains? That said...

    Your Schwarzkopf Count

    I've done 36, and I've got most of the big ones that are left standing. The ones still on my bucket list are: Big Roller Coaster, Wonder Island Shock Wave, Six Flags Over Texas Oasis Express, Entertainment City Golden Loop, Gold Reef City Katapul, Hopi Hari

    Attractiepark Rotterdam | Netherlands | Amusement Park

    I can't believe that Shuttle Loop from Toshimaen is being resurrected. They will have to redo the entire ride with new everything to get it working. And Reaper will look really weird without any theming - surely they'd have to do something with that as well. Even so, it looks quite fab and I'm...

    Favorite Simulator

    Another vote for Mission Space. Some Flying Theatres are OK but not amazing. Wings Over Washington was pretty decent, but I'd take Gary Sinise, Spiderman, anything like that over a giant forest projected on a big screen. Oh, and the Ferrari World one is awful.

    Ride types that just... died out?

    Stand-up coasters had their brief moment in the 80's and 90s', but I'd be very surprised if another one was built anywhere (with the possible exception of China). I'd be delighted if no more Sky Loop X-Cars ever get built, unless they are the Chinese knock-offs which are actually better than...

    Silver Dollar City | Time Traveler | Mack Looping Launched Spinner

    This is what I love about both parks. Whatever they do with whatever ride they have, they're just not going to balls it up.

    Rides with misleading names...

    Saw: The Ride has a complete lack of saws, hammers or any DIY construction tools. Swarm has no bees, locusts or ladybirds with STIs. Speed: No Limits has a top speed of 59mph. The motorway has a higher limit than this. Death Train in Oman has had no reported fatalities.

    New Tube Coaster For Holiday Center Schloss Dankern

    The Billybird one is alright, nothing special but pretty fun all the same. I like the excessive station building, but unfit people will hate the excessive climb up the stairs to the loading platform.

    Whats your favorite Merlin Park?

    Alton Towers - even though it has had so much going against it lately, it's still my favourite. Heide Park - A very close second. Great selection of rides, but they need a better log flume and Limit is absolutely vile. Gardaland - Yes, it's got a ****ing **** SLC, a disgusting S&S Squirrel...

    Silver Dollar City | Time Traveler | Mack Looping Launched Spinner

    I really like this idea. There's a lot of products they could have chosen to fit the bill for the sort of ride they're going for. Family suspended coaster, vertical drop track coaster etc etc. They've gone for a ride which will be unique, reliable and will have a great back story and excellent...

    PortAventura | Ferrari Land | New Area

    That will be horrendous in the busy periods, even with the two opening slots and Port Aventura's decent operations.

    Hershey Triple Tower - Three S&S Drop Towers for 2017

    It's defo not on a par with some of the big recent investments such as Skyrush and Fahrenheit. But they've got plenty of top draw coasters and attractions to keep people coming back without having to worry about needing a big new showstopper for a while. Yes, it's a bit tacky, but it's a solid...

    Toverland | Fenix | B&M Wing Coaster

    I remember hearing this vaguely a while back (along with a brand new entrance to the park), but I'm really excited it's happening now. They have a great selection of rides to cater for a wide audience, and now they'll have something at the very top end of their ride catalogue.

    Dodonpa Being Reborn In 2017

    That's a big spite if that airtime hill has gone for good. It was ridiculous!

    Best Element on an RMC?

    Goliath's zero-G stall is incredible. Can't wait to try out Wildfire's later this year!

    CF Lives 2017

    Here's what's advertised on the website as being shut: Silver Star Poseidon Atlantica Supersplash Rapids Log ride Blue Fire - although people have said it does open up if it's warm enough, but Europa aren't stating this anywhere I've seen. I'm going there this weekend so I'll find out what I...
