That, orrrrrrrrr.... we'd have gotten a 160ft tall climb atop the cliff, leading to a basically 800ft drop... ;)

This was my most recent list, all the way from early 2020 (pre-Covid!). It was only focusing on Europe, and I've crossed off half of them, along with two of the three new things. I'm thinking I should get 3-4 more off that list next year. So, here's my completely new Top 10 To-Do... 1. Steel...

I don't think there's any new work that's happened since Niles' post, but a few new photos nonetheless... https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1012568704241512&set=pcb.1012568787574837

It's so hard to even get a scale for how long that vertical drop is. Is it 50ft? 300ft? Who even knows. I'd hazard a guess around the 200ft mark, but really I don't know.

Surprises can be bad too. Imagine if it's a third hand Vekoma Boomerang.

Better profiling than that Iranian cred!

New for 2033 at Alton Towers - Pirate Ship on a Podium!

After some thoughts and planning, my 2024 is now at an end for new stuff. So here goes... Quick Stats Coaster count at start of 2024: 331 Coaster count at end of 2024: 408 Coaster count increase: 77 (New personal best) Park count at start of 2024: 62 Park count at end of 2024: 78 Park count...

I said it about Hyperia, and I'll say it about this. That's gonna stall one day.

Spitfire has an inverting top hat. So at 240ft high its gimmick is that it's got the highest inversion of any coaster in the world.

I guess with the new coaster opening next year, they're getting a solid family coaster replacement already. A new extreme coaster would benefit the park nicely, given the successes of Kondaa too. Whilst I haven't ridden it in ages, I always enjoyed Loup Garou, and will be sad if it does get RMC'd.

It's awful and I love it.

It's not really my thing. Then again, as a whole, London isn't really my thing. I live in Surrey. I can get to London Waterloo in just over 40 minutes, door to door, but maybe go into London once or twice a year. It's expensive and busy and generally just eurgh. Winter Wonderland is much the...

And here is the Traumatica review. For those unaware, Traumatica takes place roughly behind the Greece / Croatia area, with most of the mazes built in there in what I assume are permanent buildings. As such, it's largely in an otherwise unused part of the park, but the event also uses the...

My Pursuit to 400 crescendo-ed with my first ever visit to Europa Park last month. I'll take a beat here, as I know loads of people are a bit surprised that it's taken me this long to get to Europa. I first started doing theme parks abroad 9 years ago, why has it taken me so long to get to a...

Fixed that for you.
