Intamin have overhead layout and explanations of both experiences posted on their website: https://www.intamin.com/gold-rush-family-lift-launch-coaster-at-drayton-manor/

Love me a good wall. Hope they've got a schedule. I guess this should also be moved to Construction now?

And it was a miracle they could afford that. No way they'd be able to afford RMC anything.

Cedar Point are closing Snake River Falls on September 2nd: https://x.com/cedarpoint/status/1819389062186246567?t=Y03sTzEL80cbsbYZ113wbQ&s=19 It is closing to make way for an as yet not revealed "future expansion", so that's something to keep an eye on...

I hit my 350th steel coaster... El Diablo at PortAventura. Didn't realise it at the time, but it's good to see that once again it's another pretty average one to join the list...

Well damn, I've missed out on loads of extra points during my Hyperia re-rides....

Done PortAventura for the first time the last 2 days. I'll do full reviews, but Furius Baco was the last hydraulic launch I needed in Europe, so I'll write words here. Launch doesn't feel *that* powerful? Certainly the ride doesn't feel as fast as Stealth, for example, let alone faster. Coaster...

I think I'm right in saying that Merlin/Legoland is similar, in that whilst it has the Legoland name and Merlin input, there are some Legolands (the Asian ones I believe?) that aren't directly operated by Merlin I feel like the likes of @TPoseOnTantrum or @roomraider could confirm that. So SFQ...

A 360⁰ raptor roll? Ffs what is it with stupid names for elements which pretty much already exist.

The overhead layout reminded me of Taron. Obviously being the straddled seating and the lower speed/gentler banking, this isn't the US' Taron, but I'll happily say now this could be a sleeper hit of a ride.

Important to include the bit in bold.

I've only done Heide once, 2 years ago, but I really enjoyed my visit there. I can see why some people have issues with it - especially if they know about the dead rides - but I found it a decent park, with a good, varied selection of rides, that was well presented. In fact, I enjoyed it more...

Quirky coaster. POV doesn't make it look great. Looks slow (I'm not making the joke here) and a bit too meandering, although I'm sure it rides better. Between this, Intamin's multi-dimensional coasters and Vekoma's Switchback coasters, I'm liking the potential that's coming about for these...

Now that is a Wicked Twister.

I was at Alton Towers yesterday and it was quite easily the worst day I've ever had there. -Opening was advertised as 6pm when I originally booked and then shifted to 5pm last week. I only realised that Tuesday. --On that note, it was busy. I usually visit around this time of year, and the park...

But because it's spelt backwards, that means the ride will travel backwards!

Don't be so ridiculous. It'll be an RMC T-Rex.
