    What theme parks are the most GP friendly?

    Knoebels markets itself as a park for everyone and they literally have something for everyone. Free admission for those that don't wanna ride so everyone can enjoy the park grounds For those that do wanna ride, their tickets and wristbands are very affordable. Plenty of shade Amazing food, but...

    CF loosened the restrictions on their kiddie coasters this year. The operator should've let you ride.

    #357 - The Great Pumpkin Coaster @ Kings Dominion - I figured since adults can ride this now and its really not too far out of my way, I'd snag the credit. I actually got 2 laps on it because there was no line. Its a decent coaster. Its a little jerky in spots but I really do like this...

    The Games We Play

    I just beat Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door on Switch the other day. Excellent game! I never thought I'd be playing a damn Mario game that made me cry. Thousand Year Door made me teary-eyed a little. Currently playing through Red Dead Redemption 1 on Switch. I'm a massive fan of open world...

    What is your favourite coaster that you’ve only ridden once?

    If I like a coaster enough, I'll always try to get at least 2 rides in. Oftentimes if the coaster is good enough, its tough to judge from just one ride. My highest ranked coaster I've gotten one ride on is Moonshine Mountain Coaster in Pigeon Forge at 71. That was partly because I got stuck...

    Is Hyperia your top UK coaster?

    I've only been to Alton Towers, Thorpe and Chessington and Hyperia is definitely better than anything at those 3 parks. Nothing really compares.

    Went to Dutch Wonderland for the first time today. Its a charming little park for sure. My last credit was 354. Merlin's Mayhem - It seems like everyone and their grandmother wants to copy Vekoma's Jr coasters nowadays. This ride feels like it was heavily inspired by Vekoma's Orkanen clones...

    351. Iron Menace - solid dive machine that's surprisingly smoother than most of B&Ms recent offerings apart from the one jolt at the end of the ride. I hope that jolt doesn't become worse as the ride ages. It's not as forceful as Emperor, the vests do impede any airtime you get, and the...

    Rank the Central Florida theme parks

    1. Islands of Adventure - basically a perfect theme park that caters to everyone. The theme is well executed and there's such a diverse selection of dark rides, flats and water rides on top of the really solid coaster collection the park has 2. Epcot - I love how unique this park is. World...

    Your B&M Count

    I rode Mandrill Mayhem on Sunday. I really enjoy this newer generation of smaller B&Ms. Anyone else notice these newer B&Ms have a bit of the shakes. I thought Mandrill was a bit rougher than Swarm was.

    350: Mandrill Mayhem - this is the second launched wing coaster I've added to my count this month and it's a really cool little B&M. The capacity is probably the worst part of the ride. The standby moves so slowly thanks to all the Fast Track people. The ride is decently themed and I love going...

    YAY Merlin!

    My home park is BGW so I know where you're coming from. I've gone there and KD so many times, it's really easy to see the flaws, but visiting other parks around the world really helps me appreciate how good those parks really are at heart. I've noticed BGW declining over the years and it's sad...

    YAY Merlin!

    You guys have no idea how good you really have it with these Merlin parks. I went to Alton Towers for the first time and had a blast. It's easily one of the best parks I've ever visited. Operations are amazingly efficient. While the coasters aren't really in my top 10, they're all best in their...

    USA - The South

    Yes SFOG is well worth the trip. I went out of my way to visit twice last year and had a great time each time (Arie Force One was pretty much the main reason I went out there). If you have a long enough layover at ATL, check it out. If you've still got a lot of time, check out Arie at Fun Spot...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    So when I found out Hyperia was opening today, I changed my booking from Chessington to Thorpe and took the long trek to the park from Alton Towers via the train. I managed to get about 3 rides in waiting about an hour each time. The ride is a little on the short side, but the layout packs a...

    Your B&M Count

    I just added Nemesis, Galactica and Oblivion to my B&M count. Alton Towers has a great collection of unique coasters.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I'm trying to book transit around London and it basically hinges on Hyperia being open. It looks like I'll just change my reservation to Chessington and go there this week instead of waiting on this thing.

    Cedar Fair Parks Ranked

    Knott's Berry Farm - The best looking and probably most diverse CF park. The park is tiny, but it packs so much into that little plot of land. Ghost Town is incredible and the ride selection is really solid. Ghostrider ops and rides constantly being down are huge issues that need to be addresed...
