    Thorpe Park Opening Day - 23/03/24

    Thorpe Park is back open! Unfortunately the rides didn't quite seem to be ready to start a new season as our day was mostly spent navigating around breakdowns. Please enjoy my thoughts, along with the mediocre pics of Hyperia from around the park! Storm surge - 6/10 It's a fun filler ride...

    WTF Merlin?

    It's in the pull-up after the Zero-G roll. So it's one of the more forceful spots on the ride at least.

    WTF Merlin?

    Has Inferno had a support fracture? Today was a bit of an operations disaster. Aside from some hail that (naturally) closed all of the rides for 40 mins, I'm not sure there was a single point where all 6 coasters were open at once, at one point we were down to having just 2 open with constant...

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    Using (presumably) old track as extra tentacles coming out of the ground was a great addition as well.

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    Even though I sadly missed the chance to ride it (which I will quietly remain forever salty about). I would agree with everyone that the theming work they've done is fantastic. The atmosphere around the ride area was unmatched by anything in the park, the station is so much more convincingly...

    Alton Towers | Nemesis Reborn | B&M Retrack | 2024

    Sooo... who else was kicked out of the queue line at the end of the day? Maybe I'll get to ride it next time. 🙁

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Has FF halted construction? The camelback seems to have had little change for the past month or two.

    Rides that required a second ride or series of rerides for you to fully appreciate them

    Millennium Force, easily. My first ride was in the middle and felt completely forceless and quite dull in general, with only the tunnels standing out as particularly exciting. When I was fortunate to come back to CP, I got to ride it in the front and back rows and had my mind blown. The...

    Drayton Manor Resort Five Year Plan 2022 - 2026

    ART engineering seem to have developed quite an impressive breadth of work in the past 5-10 years.

    That drop is going to be horrifying, I can't wait!

    Thanks for the correction, I had my giant vertical turnarounds mixed up.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    As amazing as that element looks, it seems mental that that's followed by just one hill before jumping up into the brakes, and really shows the length issue for me. Considering that it dwarfs both Colossus and Saw's main lifts (and is shaped in a way to imply that it'll keep a lot of speed over...

    Knott’s Berry Farm | MonteZOOMa: The Forbidden Fortress | Schwarzkopf Launch Refurb | 2024?

    Montezooma sounds a bit too far gone for a rebuild to be financially invisible. It's certainly possible, but refabricating, the missing parts from scratch, providing the intended upgrades (at a higher cost than what kumbak presumably offered), and with the existing budget presumably up in...

    Best ride soundtrack

    Hex's main theme and Colossus' pre-imascore soundtracks are both top-tier in my opinion.

    Stealth or Red Force; which European Intamin launch coaster do you prefer?

    Red force just eeks out over Stealth for me. They're both fantastic, but the size and speed of Red Force made for a much more complete ride, and the closest I've been on to match TTD's madness. Also, the drop off the top hat is one of the best I have ever been on. However, the force of...
