    Overrated and Underrated Roller Coasters

    First of all, go ride Nemesis at Alton Towers. It's one of the best rollercoasters in the UK and probably (in my opinion) the best invert in Europe. Second of all, you've got to love those last two sweeping helixes on Inferno; and how they just whip you around those turns. Not so sure about it...

    Overrated and Underrated Roller Coasters

    Galactica isn't overrated. I haven't seen many people hype it up that much.

    Overrated and Underrated Roller Coasters

    Are you talking about the Paris version? Because there's pretty much no headbanging on the version in Walt Disney World.

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    Also a lot of people claim that Alton Towers has lost its magic, the last two investments have really shown Alton Towers at its best.

    Opinions on the best European coaster, and why

    Personally, I think TH13TEEN could have been more of a terrain coaster to make the feeling of pursuit and urgency more apparent in the outdoor coaster section. Also remove those trims.

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    Okay that is more of a problem with management than the park itself. If I had my way, it'd be open till 5pm usually and 7pm/8pm in summer months tbh.

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    Why am I not surprised by this I really love Alton Towers but in the scenario you chose, I'd pick PortAventura World, Europa Park, Efteling or Phantasialand

    Drayton Manor sold to Looping Group (page 5)

    Honestly, I think an RMC is exactly what Drayton Manor needs.

    What is worst coaster ever?

    Worst roller coaster I think I've ever ridden is the Pinfari looping coaster in Brean. Needless to say that I won't be riding it again upon next visit.

    What was your first coaster with an inversion?

    Nemesis at Alton Towers. 2012. Aged 10. Went into it absolutely terrified simply because I'd never been on an upside down roller coaster up to that point. Couldn't stop smiling when I came off.

    Drayton Manor sold to Looping Group (page 5)

    It's one of the worst theme parks currently open in the UK and it needs some new investment e.g. a new coaster ASAP. What do you think Drayton could do to be improved?

    What theme park's entrance is your favourite?

    Just a bit of advice: That happens at Disney parks in Main Street USA as well.

    Roughest B&M?

    Oh ****, I forgot about that one.

    Overrated and Underrated Roller Coasters

    Overrated: The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. They made it big, they made it fast, but that's not really what enthusiasts look for in roller coasters if I'm going to be brutally honest. It's basically just a roller coaster for the GP. Underrated: Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe Park. This is a...

    Roughest B&M?

    From what I've heard, Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg seems like a potential contender.

    Worst Coasters of the 2010s

    I second this. The only coaster from this decade to actually appear in a lot of 'Top 10 Worst Roller Coasters' lists I've seen.

    Jurassic World Opens at Universal Studios Hollywood!

    Ah, you've got to love those Disney shills, both regarding their movies and now their theme parks! (I really don't in case you're wondering)

    Opinions on the best European coaster, and why

    Sorry to reply to all of your posts, but have you been doing your research? Alton Towers aren't allowed to build above the trees, so they have to build downwards and be a bit more creative in order to even be able to build anything good, and the fact that they still make great rides regardless...
