Maybe it's just me but this construction seems so... random. They've started with some random bits of intricate theming before some of the major stuff. It does look incredibly fab; with the sort of theming and detail that Energylandia lacks. Ugh, just imagine the potential if this had...

Money well spent.

I don't want to dislike it, but I find that when my expectations are ridiculously low, I enjoy rides much more. This is one of those types of coasters that will have been talked about for years, and hype will only go further into overdrive the closer it gets to opening. So just setting my stall...

See, I'm expecting it to be truly dog ****, this way, my expectations don't skyrocket throughout construction only to deflate upon my first rides. Pessimistic? Perhaps. But the lower the expectations, the more room for surprises ;)

I can definitely see your point, but knowing RMC and what they could do in terms of a layout, I'd be very be interested to see how this concept develops. The compact footprint, likely lower cost and target audience may move us a step closer to finally seeing an RMC in the likes of the UK. One...

There is indeed a lot of perception in it. Most high level theme parks recognise and take this into consideration too. For example, you could have a busy 'main street' that sprawls across the same distance as a quiet, narrow, winding path. The winding path will often feel like a much longer...

I absolutely envy you. There's nothing quite like that first leap over to the mainland, and right now it's never been better with all the delicious creds we've had crop up over the last several years. Germany, I would say, is the crème de la crème in my opinion, but you can't forget the likes...

But the Saw exterior theme is supposed to resemble an abandoned warehouse in a remote, unspecified location. Perfectly executed by Merlin. One of the only coasters I know of that you can graffiti and vandalise and actually improve the realism 😂 surprised Merlin haven’t tagged it as the worlds...

It probably has to be Icon, but that's literally a default because there's really slim pickings. If T'Ultimate was still about I'd be giving that my vote. RIP dear friend.

My enthusiast days started back in the early 2000's and I officially became a CF loyal enthusiast in 2005. I'd say my 'enthusiasm' has been hugely varied over the years, often dependent on what else is going on in life. It's always been there in some form though. Back in my teenage years, I...

I don't see the 'Instagram-ableness' with Untamed personally, but I love the term Instagram-ableness and the fact I've now used it twice in 1 post is great.

Blue Fire above Helix, and Taron?! Minor cardiac arrest incoming... But seriously, very interesting take. I'd love to hear your full analysis.

I'd definitely welcome a Greek Mythology theme. I think at this point it'd be a very positive step for Thorpe. As popular as the dark themes are, the park has consistently gone down that road for several years now, so this would add a sprinkle of intrigue to the park. We already know big...

In simple terms, the reason that family owned parks are usually favoured is because these parks have a closer relationship to the paying customer and the owners are more emotionally invested in their parks. There is sometimes a history associated with said family owning the park over several...

^ You can't get criticised for having your own opinion, you're entitled to it so don't worry about that. I take your point there, perhaps it is some of the UK enthusiast vloggers that are paying particular attention to Drayton at the moment. I'd suggest that may simply be down to there finally...

Don't you worry Matt, I don't think many will disagree with you here. I'm not sure where you're seeing the hype for Drayton, perhaps I'm blind. I've always thought the majority of people see it as a fairly adequate yet mundane park, somewhere in the middle of the pack in UK terms.

Just as a follow-up on this thread, I've recently found the following website/app which I think is a really fantastic tool which many here may find beneficial. https://ground.news/ Its main function is to expose the bias of most, if not all, media outlets and their output. You can find visual...

Man, Hollander would so easily win this if it wasn't for the stark contrast between the beautifully ambient, aesthetically stunning first half and then the fall from grace second half. If Efteling ever decide to refurb/alter another coaster then I'd strongly urge them to somehow enclose as much...

UK Office all day for me. I love the US Office, but the UK office is one of those perfect comedies. No excess fat, 12 great episodes and a couple of specials. The characters are painfully funny without being overt caricatures; I've met so many David Brents, Gareths & Tims in my time. The...

I could answer this in a few ways, one of which would be to pick the 'best themed' coaster, however, I reckon to be the most complete and truly immersive coaster experience, it's got to be something primarily indoors whereby you are completely enveloped in said experience with no outside...
