If you've known of it for 19 years but haven't got there then maybe you're just not that into it? 😆 My excuse is that I only started riding coasters properly this year. I think I became vaguely aware of KK during the pandemic but just assumed I would never have the guts to ride anything like...

I'm thinking of trying to get there this week/weekend, just in case... Ka's demise would leave a big hole in my bucket list! But, it's 3500 miles away. Can't decide if that's dedication or insanity (esp. as nothing is confirmed. Got a bad feeling though)

Some of the numbers here are mind-boggling! So far mine is three rides on the Rock'n'Roller at Margate Dreamland - how embarrassing 😄 I went there to ride the Scenic Railway a couple of months ago but it had just torn itself up, and the only other real (but bad) coaster there is that one, so I...

How are most people going to pronounce this, I wonder? Pan Theerian? Panther Ian? Imagine telling someone that you blacked out while riding Panther Ian :oops:

First time at Paulton's Park, and it was a bit of a pain to get to without a car from London. The train from Waterloo to Southampton (off-peak just after 7pm) was absolutely rammed with no seats available until the very end of the journey, so as usual (this happens when we go anywhere) I ended...

Even if this is happening, it would be pretty nuts of them to just retire Kingda Ka at the end of this season though, right...? I've seen some rumours to that effect but it would be madness to not announce it well in advance.

I enjoyed Sik too, so much better than Colossus! The station might be a bit odd but I think the minimalist club vibe kind of works with it. Velocity seems fun - got spited by that one earlier this year unfortunately, but Flamingo Land is a tough one to feel that bothered about returning to...

I kind of hate 'Pantherian'. It's so pedestrian and meaningless. Even 'Panther 305' would've been much better.

Aw, that's rough! Did you still go to the park anyway? It looks a bit tricky to get to from the train station

Awesome, so glad it worked out for you! It does look like a really cute park. I'm still planning to try this Friday, which is cutting it pretty fine but eh. The weather forecast looks good so far....

Did you make it?? And if so was it worth it?

It's very annoying that the ferries don't seem to carry foot passengers, as it looks really close to the Dunkirk ferry terminal...

That's exactly what I was thinking 😆 Good luck!

Yeah I emailed them too! I wanted to go this Friday but that doesn't look possible now, and the weekend after that is currently predicted to be raining... argh! Fingers crossed for both of us, we're cutting a bit fine eh 😄

Yep. Praying for dry weather! Just looks a bit weird now with all that construction behind it

This is worrying, I want to get on the Wild Train within the next couple of weeks but it looks like it's going to get eaten up by this building site before the end of the season!

Yeah I'd pretty much agree with all of that, though I can't compare with any of the US parks yet! Sounds like we had a similar experience though I didn't get any coaster re-rides, probably could have got another Mandrill towards the end of the day but wasn't really that stoked for it. There are...

Harsh 😆 Maybe just a little bit s**te

Yes that little Gruffalo/Vampire valley was really magical actually, probably the best bit of the park! I can see how it would make you very nostalgic if you went as a kid. I haven't been on a spinning coaster yet apart from the usual crappy wild mouse clones, and have been a bit reluctant to...

Never been tempted to go on the flying elephants - sounds like that may have been a lucky escape :D
