    Blackpool Pleasure Beach - Potential New Attraction on Trauma Towers Spot

    I'm probably alone here, but I seriously can't see what the point is of putting in a Mack Big Dipper just two years after Icon. There's no way it would be able to be able to match the excitement there was for Icon, and without much of a USP, I can't see how a Big Dipper would be able to draw...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach - Potential New Attraction on Trauma Towers Spot

    I can't see the very next ride being a coaster. Part of what made the build up to Icon so exciting was how big of a gap it had been since Infusion, another coaster so soon will either take away from Icon's appeal, or will struggle to top Icon's popularity with most people without time for the...

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach - Potential New Attraction on Trauma Towers Spot

    Markings on an area that has been used as the site of a temporary stage or screen numerous times this year? The weekend before an event that will use this temporary stage will take place?

    Busch Gardens Tampa | Tigris | Premier SkyRocket II

    After 4 years of waiting so far, and a tease for 2020, I think the chaos that would ensue if it turns out Gwazi isn't being RMCed would be entertaining.

    Coasters in Media

    On the topic of stuff filmed at the Pleasure Beach, an episode of Max & Paddy's Road to Nowhere was filmed for a brief scene on the Big Dipper and a small ride in Beaver Creek. The boy band video was 5SOS, whilst I think The Killers also did a video there as well. The Oliver Platt and Lee...

    Coasters in Media

    Surprised nobody's mentioned Rollercoaster, the 1977 thriller set at Ocean View Park, Kings Dominion, and Six Flags Magic Mountain. Fun little film that's great for anyone wanting to see the parks in the 70s. The Warriors is bookended with Coney Island. I really love the film, and the use of...

    Coasters in Media

    It was Santa Cruz Boardwalk, I don't remember much from Lost a Boys but I remember it starts with a shot of the Big Dipper.

    Carowinds | Copperhead Strike | Mack Dual Launch

    Great. Now this means another year of people talking about Icon like its the second coming because that's what this will be compared to.

    Six Flags 2019 Announcements

    Oh I see, we get a "may the force be with you" reference during the Maxx Force video, but not even a hint at a Spaceballs reference during the Lone Star Revolution video. Think the biggest surprise for me from the 2019 announcements is that there are STILL parks that haven't got a Super Loop yet.

Did you like the mobius track layout of Twisted Colossus? Well come on back down to Magic Mountain, where our new...

    The most sad roller coaster demolitions

    Seeing a classic wooden coaster demolished always seems sad in a way of "Awww, what?" It's like when you find out an iconic movie prop was just thrown in a skip after filming.

    Cringe Worthy Non Coaster Enthusiast Comments you have heard

    All this edge lord talk of murder, slicing stomachs open, setting fire to heads, that's not how you spell that etc is definitely a thousand times more cringey than any of the non enthusiast comments this thread is about.

    Cringe Worthy Non Coaster Enthusiast Comments you have heard

    Started with a phrase as suggestive as "I'm a big fan of riding these things". I was very dissapointed.

    What parks do you have zero desire to revisit?

    Drayton Manor. Didn't even get on G Force, Storm Force 10, or the stand up floorless of Apocalypse, and still have no interest in revisiting.

    Cringe Worthy Non Coaster Enthusiast Comments you have heard

    Roller coaster experts to be found in between the second lift hill and drop of The Ultimate at Lightwater Valley: "Does it get faster now?" *Pointing at the only thing that could possibly be a rollercoaster drop out here in the middle of nowehere* "Is that the drop?"

    Black/grey/white out coasters

    Just because they're older, no need to generalise that all MILFs are forceless. A lot of people are into them.

    Fantastic old coaster footage/pics

    I remember seeing a photo of the Boomerang ride before and being intrigued by it. I'm sure I saw it on themagiceye in an article about Battersea Park in London.
