    Premier Sky Rocket & Maurer X Car

    Hey CF, So after a long old vacation from the forums and the enthusiast side of theme parks, I've been busy catching up a bit. After thinking how I'll miss G Force, I remembered that I'd often wondered about Premier's Sky Rocket design, specifically about how much it looks like a rip-off of...

    Merlin Entertainments Group - A general discussion

    Merlin Entertainments, for the few readers out there who don't know, are essentially the monopoly power in the UK amusement park market. Representing a total of 4 theme parks, among a host of 22 other attractions, the group is probably the largest competition to all others in the UK amusement...

    Competition, competition competition... have another!

    Well helllo! Seen as there have been coaster competitions galore, I propose a competition with a difference. It involves no scenery, no buildings, no terrain, and infact, no coasters, rides or buildings. This competition is all about designing the best mix master fireworks display, seeing as...

    WHAT IS THIS MUSIC?

    It's annoying me so much, went to Fright Nights the other day, and Samurai's totally terrible fright nights music was playing. I recognised it, and wondered if anyone could tell me what it is, as it's now driving me mental that I can't remember what it's called. I definitely know it from...

    PortAventura July 2011

    It's a long time gone, but due to lacking trip reports, I thought I'd do it anyway. Well, you don't have to look far to know that I'm a massive PA fan. In my opinion, it's the best single theme park in the world (single being the important bit there, lots of people consider Florida one park...

    As the typical person's disposable income becomes lower than in many previous years, and the theme park giants raise their prices way above inflation, is 2011 the golden opportunity for smaller parks to make a big impact? As people are priced out of an value for money day at Thorpe Park...

    SAW: The Ride Vs. Mumbo Jumbo (had to be done)

    Ok, plenty of topics like this, been here before etc, so simply, as Mumbo Jumbo has been billed as the real deal, and named as a mickey-take of other parks big claim coasters, it really seems appropriate to compare it to the ride it mocked ever since the announcement of 13-degree bettering SAW...

    Most Memorable Ride Moment

    In a moment of sadness I thought about what I can honestly considor one of the most surreal views of my life. This occured on the lovely Rush. Basically, just as I was experiencing the pop of airtime you get on the high swing on swing A, I looked back to see the sun setting behind Stealth, the...

    SAW: The Ride... SCREW!

    I just discovered possibly the most ridiculous ebay item.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/saw-the-ride-at-t ... 240%3A1318 Sooo, when reading the item description, notice how it's a silver screw, of normal size. Even if it is from Thorpe, clearly it won't be off the physical ride. So, how much...

    Corkscrew's Removal (Alton Towers)

    I suppose ultimatley it is only a matter of time until Corkscrew is removed, but following the fact it is not mentioned anywhere in the future 'plans' posted, I have become concerned it may be removed. Now, In my eyes 2010 is far too early for it to go (2010 is the year which it is believed...

    Lakeside Gardens Park

    Ok, I've decided to start a new park that I will post my progress on. This park is called Lakeside Gardens, and is set in the country, alongside, (shock horror) a lake. At present I have no downloaded scenery, so I'm just using what I have on RCT 3. I will also piont out that I have yet to build...

    Which is the UK's best flat ride?

    Ok, after seeing the topic on the UK's best tower ride, I think there should also be one for the UK's best Flat. Basically, because there are so many Flats out there, I will choose the bigger/more well known ones for the poll, but if i miss any, just point it out and vote for other. Ok, the...
