A few weeks ago I realized I had holiday to use up before November, and the ECC are having a small meet up in Stuttgart this coming weekend. Out of that, a 2 week German adventure by public transport was born. Similarly to my 2019 Netherlands trip, I shall try and update this nightly with my...

Apologies if this has been asked before. Will be visiting Towers on Thursday (6th July) primarily for Curse of Alton Manor and Sub-Terra. Since the park will be busy, I thought I'd take the chance and actually finally try the dungeons. Love the standalone Dungeons attractions but always been...

Simple question: Have you or any vehicle you've owned/driven appeared on Google Streetview? (or equivalent service) Bonus points if featured away from home! I've been featured a total of 3 times: 1: One of my old cars parked outside my uni house in Cardiff a few years ago: (blue fiesta) 2...

Home. Thanks again Everyone for a brilliant day. Highlights include the surprisingly good rapids and the bonus RMT laps. Hope to see you all again soon!

Be it pop music used as ride music or just on the radio on route to the park, is there any non-theme park music that reminds you of coasters and/or theme parks in general? This can include ride music used on a different ride and/or park than intended. For me, my best example for this would be...

testing ability to post topics, please ignore Edit: Ok this works... Admins, I am unable to access the Team Talk topic I just made for same reason detailed in said topic. Unsure why, any help appreciated. Edit 2: might just be Chrome being glitchy. Edge works fine, no other browsers installed...

Something I've pondered for a while. The vast majority of powered coasters tend to be family orientated at relatively slow speeds. Would it be possible to create a more thrill-orientated powered coaster with higher speeds more comparable to traditional thrill coasters (e.g. 50mph+)? Granted...

This is something I've pondered for a while and not sure of the answer or if it makes any difference. It was in the news a while back that European firms are choosing cheaper, (supposedly) lower quality Chinese steel over European steel, fuelling closure fears for British Steel plants. Likely...

Saw on Screamscape today that Clementon Park has appeared to close without warning: Source: http://www.screamscape.com/html/smaller_parks.htm#Clementon

Just posted on their FB page. Doubt it's anything major but is needed, especially considering the only 2 coasters there opened with the park...

Tomorrow, I will be embarking on a massive 2000+ mile, 19 day roadtrip (in my own car) of the Netherlands, visiting almost every park in the area. Whole trip should been around +65, only around 10 of which might be notable and good quality.... (Including Untamed!!!) Due to the length of this...

The official model name of the likes of Tempesto is the Sky Rocket II and Full Throttle is often referred to as a Sky Rocket III. This has left me wondering, what was Sky Rocket 1? Was it the Mr Freeze Reverse Blast models or something else that was planned but never built? (similarly to...

Been a lot of negativity regarding both these companies on here recently with both companies being criticised for not investing and leaving parks to rot. If only 1 of these companies ran every theme park in the world, which company would you prefer? (including both companies side projects e.g...

This is a topic that seems to come up a lot in separate threads so thought it might be an idea to try and centralise them, have been wanting to do so for a while. Feel free to lock if not suitable. Although I don't have much experience with them personally, I do not see PR as a particularly bad...

This for all those coasters out there which should be good in their own right but just don't live up to expectations, be it due to other better rides in the park or personally ridden recently. These rides may have fantastic stats and look amazing rides but just something causes it to not be as...

Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm confused over the status of the Ice Mountain spinning mouse ride usually at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. I understand it used to be owned by Mellors before being sold off recently to James Crow. Whats confusing is that while RCDB mentions that it was...

Sorry for the delay in writing this. Have been busy over the summer and only just found the time. For those who didn’t already know, I recently went on a 2 week trip to Spain, covering the Madrid parks, Zaragoza, Barcelona, Tibidabo and Port Aventura. This is was my first time ever in Spain so...

We've had numerous topics recently discussing various spites we have had as a community where rides have been unexpectedly closed. This topic is the exact opposite of that: What coasters did you expect to be closed when visiting the park but were actually open to riders? Same goes for children's...

Apparantly the Digger train overshot the final breakrun and went into the back of the Chess train being dispatched from the station. I know it runs fast but didn't expect that fast! Seemingly, SV has has a smooth, uneventful opening day and also should shut up the people worrying about the...

Quick search of forums shows no current topic for this so thought I'd create it. In short, the old Dragon Falls log Flume at Chessington is getting rethemed to tigers and will feature live tigers around the main drop. (screenshot sent to me by a friend, presumably originally from SouthParks...
