    SFGAdv, Dorney Park and NYC

    After a good but tiring first day at Six Flags, we woke up early again, had breakfast at McDonalds avoiding the McGriddle this time (not a fan) and set off on the 1h30 journey to Dorney Park. It was a really nice morning and soon we were looking down on the selection of coasters the park had to...

    The Games we play...

    I totally know what you mean. It was a bit confusing knowing where to go next but generally it worked ok I think. Running through all the levels again got a bit frustrating to get all the character tokens and treasures but it was fun playing them again with all characters available. My only...

    The Games we play...

    After getting PS+, I downloaded Lego Lord of the Rings for the Vita. It's not a game I would normally go for but I really enjoyed playing it and got platinum last week. It really is a fun game. I also got When Vikings Attack for the Vita which is alright but gets boring after a while. Recently...

    The Smiler - your thoughts?

    I went to Alton on both Friday and Saturday the past week thanks to Sun free tickets and it was clear to see the effect on attendance that the Smiler has had. On Friday, the park was dead, barely anything had a queue but the Smiler, which started the day at about 70 mins and still had a 35...

    SFGAdv, Dorney Park and NYC

    On a grey Thursday morning in August, my dad, uncle, cousin and I set off to Manchester Airport for our just-short-of-a-week long trip to America. We flew Manchester to Heathrow then chilled in the BA lounge for a bit before flying business to JFK. It’s the first time I’ve ever had the privilege...

    The BBH Attack and Release Thread - OMG NEW PROJECT 8/2/14

    Re: The BBH Attack and Release Thread - Leopard V2 8/10/13 The ride was ok track wise and has characteristics of lots of tracks I've seen before and even my own when people are properly learning how to use NoLimits. Of course, there will never be anyone who "completes" it, but I can tell you're...

    Izar - Download p.2 (Video coming soon)

    Re: Izar - Intamin Accelerator (UC) So I've been out of the NoLimits loop for a while (this topic is over 2 years old!), apart from a Zamperla Spinner that I made last year and a few lazy competition entries. It's unlikely that I'll make a track from scratch again on the original NoLimits, but...

    Kings Island | Banshee | B&M Invert

    Re: Kings Island | "Banshee" | Moohassive B&M Invert ^I also noticed this. Longest B&M invert yet there is no MCBR. I guess due to the sheer height of it all the elements are more stretched out so it's easier to get a longer length. I think with this ride we see a real progression in design by...

    The Games we play...

    The only reason I am slightly reluctant is that when I'm at uni, which works out to be about half of the year, I barely use it. But even if I only play like four of the games throughout the year as you say, it still works out to be cheap so I think I'll go for it.

    The Games we play...

    Just got platinum on the Vita version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. As a fan of the Need for Speed series, I really enjoyed playing this game and I think it is one of the better games they've done. However, it does suffer from the problems furie has mentioned. If you just casually play the...

    The Smiler - your thoughts?

    Rode it twice yesterday, the first one was as soon as we arrived and we queued about 1h20 but later on in the day it took about 2h even though we started further through the queue this time. As we came off at half 5 (closing) there was still about a 90 minute queue and we heard “The Smiler is...

    Formula 1™ Topic

    Ok I don't think anyone will begrudge me saying this after Canada. I thought it was a really great race with some fantastic overtaking. Obviously it was a bit boring up top at times with Vettel leading the way, but Alonso made some great moves to work his way up to second in the most part by...

    2012 Attendance report

    Merlin must be scratching their heads. They open The Swarm and the result is Legoland overtaking Thorpe in gate figures.

    The Smiler - your thoughts?

    I have to say I've never experienced the Saw thing, although I've only been on it twice. Those were on separate occasions though split by about two years. I can agree about some people maybe perceiving roughness as intensity, but it doesn't go as far as to explain why Air is really popular. As...
