    What ride do you have the most intangible love for?

    I don't care how rough it is at this point, I will always be fond of Disneyland Paris' Space Mountain.

    WTF Merlin?

    Leaked photo from the inspection: I know they consider themselves 2nd to Disney, but perhaps they went about that the wrong way!

    Rebuild of Alpenexpress and Tiroler Wildwasserbahn Europa Park after major fire.

    It's completely rebuilt, it is literally new track with nothing left. It is a new ride.

    Your most memorable journeys to and/or from parks

    Exiting Europa Park on 19th June this year after the fire at Alpenexpress. It was very surreal. My trip from the park was on foot through Rust, and my hotel was actually near the part of the park where the fire started. Parts of the route were blocked by cordons and I saw lots of firefighters...

    What is your attitude to revisiting parks you've been to before?

    I'll revisit parks I really like every couple of years. I will often enjoy the comfort of familiarity and knowing that I'll enjoy the park. There's always a risk with spending a lot of money on a new park that it'll be not as good as I hoped, and when i have a limited number of holiday days I'm...

    Most Abundant Coaster Type or Model You've NEVER Been On?

    Hmm, that's probably technically true for me as well, but for rides that are common in the region I live it's probably still the Boomerangs.

    Most Abundant Coaster Type or Model You've NEVER Been On?

    What the title says, what's the most abundant or common coaster make, model or manufacturer you've actually never ridden? I've never been on a Vekoma Boomerang (or even a park with one in it), nor have I been on a Vekoma SLC (seen 2, chose not to ride). I've also never ridden any Coaster by Zeier.

    Your most “different” park visit?

    Efteling January 2014. I was there for 4 days, and the park was EMPTY. This visit gave me a huge amount of zen or close to zen rides and allowed me to really savour the rides and the atmosphere without having to plan my day our too hard. It was super chilled.

    Which major theme park have you gone the longest without visiting?

    Ignoring parks like Legoland that I've been to as a child only or Busch Gardens Tampa which I've only ever been to once ever (2006), I haven't been to Disneyland Paris since 2012. I have been 8 times (1993, 1995, 1997, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2011, 2012), but have had an 11 year gap since my last...

    How Has Your Enthusiasm Grown or Changed?

    In the past I'd be more adamant to get on everything. This would result in a lot of rushing around. Nowadays I'm more keen to prioritise the things I'm most interested in and otherwise just try and relax and pace myself and enjoy non-ride activities (like food). This is fueled partly by a...

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    I am surprised that so many are complaining that it's just the spike, or that the spike is not 500ft tall. I think it looks really cool!

    What are your thoughts on pre-shows on rides?

    I think it depends on the ride and preshow. It works well on Baron 1898 for example as it forms part of the whole experience.

    The Prevalence of Vertigo/fear or heights in the Coaster community.

    All lot of what is being said hear sounds like my feelings on heights. I can ride Silver Star at EP or Stealth at Thorpe ok, but I get nervous and have sweaty palms going up ladders as I feel insecure and unsafe.
