    Strongest roller coaster for airtime at Alton Towers?

    Hi guys. Airtime is becoming an increasingly "in" thing on roller coasters, and with this in mind, many enthusiasts feel that an airtime-focused ride is something that Alton Towers, the UK's largest and joint most coaster-heavy theme park, currently lacks from its coaster selection. But I'd be...

    Can floater airtime truly be considered airtime?

    Hi guys. I was reading the most recent trip entry on Richard Bannister’s website (which is an excellent read by the way! I’d certainly recommend checking it out; he’s ridden nearly 3,000 coasters, so has a wealth of excellent reports to read from a wide variety of parks!) from Busch Gardens...

    Favourite coaster drop?

    OK so this does not have to involve your favorite ride. My favorite coaster drop was actually Knigtmare's 2nd drop at Camelot (now defunct and abandoned). Wasn't a great ride but I thought the 2nd drop was very powerful and gave great air time. Love the steep twist and steep bank.
