That'll be £15 please (+ £4.50 for the stick) 🥳

Waaaait, that's the new one...?! I didn't spot that when I was there! Guessing from the signs behind that it's called 'Scenic Railway' (haha, my arse) but they don't even have that on the website. I thought the new one was Racing Coaster!

I think this may have been built by people who have only seen roller coasters from very, very far away

😆 You're not wrong...

^ Hah. Which ones? I haven't got Ice Mountain, Time Machine or Racing Coaster (?), but I don't usually bother with spinning mice or wacky worm-type kiddies anyway so not that bothered.

Discovered that it's now £12 for the Looping today 😆 Have you been to Wintertraum? Was it atmospheric/busy? Didn't realise they were open over Christmas...

Well... I just popped in at about 1:30pm (free entry), and it wasn't dead but certainly not overcrowded, actually quite pleasant. Got two rides on the distinguished looping lady, including back row, and to me she seemed to be running pretty well, with the odd charming jolt here and there! The...

Yeah, I'm not really into wild mice either so it's a shame the lineup isn't a bit more varied - I didn't actually enjoy Wilde Maus XXL that much, those insanely fast hairpins at that elevation are quite aaargh, but it does have more going for it than most of that type. Shame you didn't enjoy the...

Oh God, Dr Archibald... I hated that ride! It fools you with the amazing steampunk owl facade out front, makes the ride itself even more of a letdown. Never again

Haha, yeah that was probably Blizzard - it does look terrifying, but the way it's driven by the fans on each end is so cool. Did you find it caused any motion sickness? (If that's something you ever get on rides)

So, what are everyone's thoughts on the ride lineup? It doesn't seem to change much from year to year, nothing new this time AFAIK - so for me the only coasters worth riding are Munich Looping, Wilde Maus XXL (the terrifying untrimmed daddy of all wild mice) and perhaps more controversially...

I bet on a big Mack tower spinner, like the one they pitched in their survey this summer. 'Record-breaking height/speed/steepness for a spinning coaster', or something equally trivial, just to say it's record-breaking. Hope that's wrong but not really too bothered. Can't foresee ever making the...

This is what they said to Coaster Studios:

This whole thing is such bad news. I was holding onto that 'retirement' in the statement, but no, looks like it's just getting binned completely. The lack of any official announcement until it's too late is so disrespectful. I got SO close to making a very long journey out there for its last...

If you've known of it for 19 years but haven't got there then maybe you're just not that into it? 😆 My excuse is that I only started riding coasters properly this year. I think I became vaguely aware of KK during the pandemic but just assumed I would never have the guts to ride anything like...

I'm thinking of trying to get there this week/weekend, just in case... Ka's demise would leave a big hole in my bucket list! But, it's 3500 miles away. Can't decide if that's dedication or insanity (esp. as nothing is confirmed. Got a bad feeling though)

Some of the numbers here are mind-boggling! So far mine is three rides on the Rock'n'Roller at Margate Dreamland - how embarrassing 😄 I went there to ride the Scenic Railway a couple of months ago but it had just torn itself up, and the only other real (but bad) coaster there is that one, so I...

How are most people going to pronounce this, I wonder? Pan Theerian? Panther Ian? Imagine telling someone that you blacked out while riding Panther Ian :oops:

First time at Paulton's Park, and it was a bit of a pain to get to without a car from London. The train from Waterloo to Southampton (off-peak just after 7pm) was absolutely rammed with no seats available until the very end of the journey, so as usual (this happens when we go anywhere) I ended...

Even if this is happening, it would be pretty nuts of them to just retire Kingda Ka at the end of this season though, right...? I've seen some rumours to that effect but it would be madness to not announce it well in advance.
