I've made a couple of small changes to the Top 20 this past week, and it looks like it'll be the final list for 2011 anyway. 1. Alpengeist 2. Oblivion 3. Kumba 4. Montu 5. Furius Baco 6. Manta 7. California Screamin' 8. SheiKra 9. Griffon 10. Apollo's Chariot 11. Wild Mouse (Blackpool) 12...

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix How about Monster at Walygator, which is less than 200 miles away. :wink: I still think this is going to be awesome regardless. I think it would be wrong to compare this to Silver Bullet, the layout's far tighter, the drop looks like it actually does...

Surely the big answer HAS to be Leviathan which is essentially Behemoth plus an extra 80ft. What's even weirder is that Behemoth was put it merely 4 years before, not to mention it's Canada's 3rd B&M Hyper/Mega/Giga seeing as La Ronde also has one. Speaking of La Ronde, didn't it put it in a...

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 To be honest the only people adding crap to the topic are the ones who have been complaining about it. It's a well known fact that the Thorpe/Alton/Cedar Point coaster threads get pages of posts about minute details or off-topic posts. If it...

Even though the ride is mostly pants, Soarin's soundtrack is beautiful and fits perfectly with the ride. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDUbZGtln8k Krake at Heide Park also has pretty cool music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeoxW6TSq58 I also really liked the music played in Manta's...

I might as well seeing as I've earned a few new credits this year and my list has taken to a pretty big change. Bolded are new entries. 1. Alpengeist, Busch Gardens Williamsburg I really, really love this ride. Not only for the huge scale of it but it's also wonderfully landscaped. The huge...

Cheetah Hunt has a really good layout which is let down by the fact it doesn't go fast enough around it. I really liked the canyon section though I felt it would have been more snappy and wild if it had gone a little faster. Ghostrider at Knott's has a pretty decent layout as well which is...

How so? They're completely different rides, Skyrush is essentially a floorless coaster with the inside seats floored. It has absolutely no resemblance to the Wingrider at all and built for height and speed which is something which the Wingriders aren't focusing on. What you've just said is...

Re: First Time Evah in Florida - DAY 3 ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE! Excellent reports Ollie, keep them coming in! I was also in Florida around about the same time as you so it's really weird coming back and seeing your photos and recognising it all instantly! I have to say I agree with you about the...

To everyone saying The Swarm, really? Sure it's not the best name ever but it's a lot better than Rita, Saw: The Ride, Th13teen or other rubbish which Merlin have come up with. Actually, I think it's pretty good, of course, not all the fanboys can be satisfied and it seems they've found another...

I'd say that a fantastic drop would beat a fantastic loop, however an abysmal loop would beat an abysmal drop. Essentially so long as the loops on the loopers are good, and the drops on the hypers/megas are good than I can't complain. I don't think loops are all that bad really, Alpengeist's...

Saw's "opening" day was just ridiculous. Whilst it's understandable that new rides break down there was absolutely no excuse for the rest of the park breaking down. I really didn't enjoy my day at Flamingoland although that was partly down to my Dad's decision to ride the Cable Cars which took...

No, I don't think it's even the best in the UK but I'm not a fan of the ride at all, to me it just isn't enjoyable enough. Sure the landscaping is fantastic and the layout is different but I think the ride itself is rather average. (Not to mention it's not nearly as intense as everyone makes it...

Spinball. It always has a stupid queue when I go to Alton and it's just not worth the wait at all. Thorpe in general due to being there too many times over the years and just being fed up with the park itself. I can't even be arsed with Rush anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if I don't go back...

The first thing that comes to my mind is Dueling Dragons. (Dragon Challenge or whatever it's called now.) Off-ride, it looks really cool with the near-misses but when you're actually on the ride it's a 'blink and you'll miss it' effect. It actually looks pretty intense, especially the fire side...

I've been past Kings Dominion, twice, but it didn't really bother me because I was heading towards a better park situated in Williamsburg. :wink: Also, it didn't have I305 at that point, and that's probably the only ride which really appeals to me at the park. (Although Dominator and Volcano...

Sorry to be predictable.

Despite the fact my favourite coaster (Alpengeist) is an Invert, a lot of the ones I've been on have been pretty weak. Silver Bullet and Nemesis are examples of my least favourite B&Ms as well. I'm yet to ride a Stand-up or Wing Rider so can't comment on those. I've only ridden one example...

Humdinger.

What they said. He said Nemesis, not Oblivion.
