    Rides which have grown on you

    Probably Hex for me. Didn't really like it that the much the first time I rode, but as I went on more and more I just got to like it so much. I guess Air and Nemesis Inferno as well, though I just keep changing my mind of Inferno every time I ride it.

    Legoland Florida Waterpark

    I saw a video today of Legoland Florida's newly opened Waterpark (whose name is just Legoland Waterpark) and I'll be honest it looked pretty dull. It looks like they took what was there, spruced it up a little bit and thought that'll do. I can see how it's a good idea financially, but when...

    What are your current Roller Coaster Goals?

    Getting to theme parks has kind of slowed with uni, but I'm going to PortAventura in summer which should be good. I'd love to reach 150 this year and hopefully get to America next year.

    NEMESIS: SUB-TERRA [Alton 2012]

    For me the ending was the problem with this ride, it just wasn't a proper ending. Hopefully this'll change that, third time lucky eh...

    Drayton Manor standard price list for 2012

    Apparently Drayton has reduced the price of Adult & Toddler tickets from £25 to £18 until 20th July. Now these are only valid Monday to Friday so it looks like they're trying to boost guest figures in the week by doing this. Doesn't really compensate a lot for the price hike of all the other...

    Canada's Wonderland |"Leviathan"| B&M HyperGiga

    Just watched the off-ride video you guys posted, I really love the sign they have and the ride itself just looks amazing. Something I did notice though - does anyone know why this has 8 cars per train when, as far as I am aware, all the B&M coasters using the old style hyper train have 9?

    NEMESIS: SUB-TERRA [Alton 2012]

    Alton's Facebook page is rammed with comments about this, most complaining about the effect the closing of the Skyride during off-peak times would have on wheelchair users.

    Formula 1™ Topic

    This is turning out to be one hell of a season. 5 different winners from 5 races including Maldonado winning at the weekend. And it's Monaco next!

    NEMESIS: SUB-TERRA [Alton 2012]

    The ride is to be closed for maintenance 21st-25th May... More improvements? Let's hope so.

    What Rides Would You Like to See at a New UK Theme Park?

    Coaster-wise, I'd love to see a good woodie, but who wouldn't? I also really like the look of those smaller family Gerstlauer coasters which seem to be popping up all over the place. What I would like to see mainly however is more well themed rides. With Sub-Terra this year, at least there was...

    Wet 'n' Wild Orlando - Blastaway Beach

    Couldn't find if this had been said before, but looks like Wet 'n' Wild are installing a new family area. It should make the place better as I found it to be quite bland in comparison to it's company in terms of water park competition in the area. More: Here

    Power Failure

    I've been at Alton when there's been a power cut, which happened at night whilst Scarefest was running. It runs off 3 separate power supplies and only one of these went down, as far as I can recall, meaning the rest of the park was fine. We got nothing in terms of fastpasses or anything like...

    Top 10: 2012 edition

    Fair enough, each to their own I guess! Well it's the closest thing in terms of height and layout (apart from Zaturn) and personally I rate them quite closely, but with Xcelerator coming out on top. I wouldn't say there's a massive amount in it. My point is that it seems like people aren't...

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zierer

    Re: Busch Gardens Williamsburg |"Verbolten"| Multi-Launch Zi This looks awesome, shame it's going to be ages until I get to ride it. You really lucked out there Joey!

    Gigs 'n' Tours

    Saw Miles Kane a few weeks back in Nottingham, it was really good, he played the whole album.

    Would you express the same opinion about Xcelerator? I mean it's pretty similar to Stealth and I've seen it in top 10s quite often, including my own.

    Re: Hersheypark | This was exactly my initial reaction. Really cool trains.

    Large Flume for Freizeitpark Klotten, Germany

    Don't see the point of those zig-zags unless there's going to be some sort of theme by them. Like the look of the drop though, that hill's pretty awesome.

    What's wrong with Stealth?
