    Florida - Part 9: Sea World

    I don't always read the Disney reports as most of the rides I'm not generally interested in, but yours are easy to read and to the point. Also, I never fully understood how Genie+ and Lightning Lane works, but you clearly laid that out so thanks for that (though I never made the effort to find...

    Yeah, that's gonna look ridiculous!

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    I haven't been following this story or anything (honestly can't be bothered to look more into it), but is any of this actually spoiler-worthy or worth keeping as a surprise? It sounds like it's just new scenery items right? I mean, unless they're putting in a new pre-show or adding a...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I just don't understand this because the white doesn't look that pleasing to begin with. It's not like they were trying to paint it bright yellow or pink or something like that. If they really wanted a subtle color scheme they could've just gone with another grey or black, or even some sort of...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I think the gold itself is a fine color, but yeah, looking at those blueprints and seeing how low it transitions to white, I don't know why they even bothered.

    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    Back in 2015/2016, Trump was obviously very different from his fellow Republican candidates. Somehow, his bold statements and sheer degeneracy and disrespect entranced many voters. Combine that with the sentiment that many were tired of the typical politician, Trump (ironically) came across as a...

    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    The Trump cult is so bizarre. They'll support him no matter what. Hell, you'll probably still see thousands write in his name in future election cycles long after he's dead. You think he would've gone away after 2020, but nope, here we are again. The Republican Party doesn't really know what...

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    I can't complain about the speed. Exiting the first corkscrew in the back row still looks brutal as ever. Good to see this thing moving again! Shame that the color scheme don't look so great.

    Toverland's Expansion Plan

    I was shocked at how packed it was on my visit around Halloween season, but I guess hearing about those numbers makes sense. Good for them. Hopefully they'll look into ways in managing those crowds a bit better.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Even just looking at photos like these showing the massive scale of the ride, it's just disappointing that after the dive loop, which will still be huge, the ride just ends after 1-2 elements.

    Good looking drop on that woodie!

    CoasterForce's Favourite Roller Coasters - 2023 Edition!

    Love seeing the old rankings too. I love Maverick, but how the hell was it number 4 back then? Haha. I've got 70% of the Top 10 ridden, and 50% are also in my Top 10 (Vengeance, VC, Skyrush, Voyage, Gwazi). Got 19/25 as well, having added Untamed and Twisted Colossus this year (though I don't...

    Will Hyperia be better than Nemesis?

    I currently have Nemesis ranked at my #15 spot. Now, that was based off a decade ago, and we're all hoping that the new Nemesis will ride the same. Regardless, it's rare nowadays that I expect a new coaster to break my Top 15. Hyperia definitely isn't one of them.

    These look much better without the flat turn in between.

    Rank the GCIs

    Got the Dutch GCIs so let's add them here. 1. Renegade - Great layout with some surprising moments, mixed with the perfect amount of woodie aggression. Definitely the best I've done so far. 2. Mystic Timbers - A bit smoother than above but still maintains that aggression. Has the best setting...

    Hutch Goes Dutch - Day 7 - Utrecht & Final Score

    Day 7 - Utrecht I had a final full day free in Utrecht before flying back home the next day. After a few early mornings, I ended up sleeping in and having a lazy morning in the hostel. It was absolutely disgusting, so I wasn’t in any rush to get outside. I guess I lucked out pretty well with...

    Stealth or Red Force; which European Intamin launch coaster do you prefer?

    Ahh well that explains it. 🤣 Think I did second to last row (only one ride too... not a fun wait). Still a ton of fun, but didn't feel like the best shape. Would love to try front someday, though I am a little skeptical about how much better it would be. People have said the same thing about...
