    Most New Creds in a Year

    As each year goes, I seem to get more and more creds! 2011 was when I really started building up my cred count! I can't quite remember how many I obtained that year! 2012 was the first trip to the states and few other little trips here and there and I picked up a nice 113 creds that year...

    Rank the BandM wing coasters

    1 - Raptor The head/foot choppers work, it's fun, fairly forceful and just a downright good coaster. If only B&M had stuck with their prototype ideas... 2 - Swarm/Marws Good fun, but doesn't flow as well as Raptor. Some of the head/foot choppers work, the majority don't. The backwards...

    Trip plans for 2013

    It's quite nice to look back at my previous post in this topic and see just how much plans have actually changed! It's also nice to think that this year I was hoping to hit 350 creds and gone over that already and only just over half way through the year! So: February: Disneyland Paris...

    The Smiler - your thoughts?

    Bam! Done! It takes some serious dedication to do what I've just done to ride this bloody thing! Work was fairly quiet this afternoon and they owed me a couple of hours for staying until a ridiculous time on Friday night! So I took the opportunity today and headed up for a couple of hours. I...

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 The music is brilliant! I've just watched the POV and that music will be going through my head for a while now! It's got that sinister but fun twist to it! Love it! I was really tempted to not watch that POV, but I have. All I will...

    Roller Coaster TV Programs and Other Related Videos

    Parque Warner Madrid just linked on their FB page to a video of a recent TV program that was filmed about the making of a GIB. It was in Spanish, but I found an English one, it's actually pretty fab! It is based on the construction of one in China that opened in 2011. Shows everything including...

    Huss worker crushed to death at PdA Madrid

    This has just popped up on my Twitter feed and having just come back it has really creeped me out! It's in Spanish, so I'll just post a rough translation from Google! The ride was down all day for maintenance and 2/3 guys were working on it throughout the day. Clearly they were from Huss...

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Fantastic!! The off-ride video has surprised me by the speed of thing. It looks just utterly fantastic. Gerstlauer's more recent coasters seem to be packing an almighty punch when it comes to speed. I am just hoping that it's not...

    Alton Towers | The Smiler | Gerstlauer Infinity

    Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 I've got a feeling that the yellow bridge in question is a access point for evacuation from the 2nd lift hill and not part of the queue line. Why I say that is because the queue line is down the other end of the site and it's a...
