I like Tom Scott.
Tom is awesome.
Saw this video earlier, he also did this one a few years back which some of you may find interesting.
There was a one once in Śląskie Wesołe Miasteczko (now it's Legendia) produced by ukrainian company Sarmat / Analog. It worked for few weeks in one season - it turned out it was extremly faulty (it was reported that metal parts are bending during operation). It was scrapped few years later, after SBNO period. http://zavodanalog.com/en/rides-magnetic-xxl.html

It was a fun episode - featured some great drone footage of the cars racing through that place we all know so well, complete with the coasters running in the background. Neat!
Blackpool also got a look-in too, few shots of Big'un showed up.
Also, how many of you were cringing/screaming at the telly every time one of them called it 'The Nemesis'.
IT'S JUST 'NEMESIS' YOU TWONKS!! ?
Loved the drone footage! Also loved the shade they were throwing at Rita. ?

The Alton bit on Top Gear was really good - they actually acknowledged their own experiences of the park including the classic getting lost on the way around. The drone shots were absolutely incredible, some of the best footage I've seen of the park - although I didn't half feel a bit sick seeing some of them.
Just watching the rollercoaster year bit on catch-up now - Do you all reckon it was planned before lockdown was announced as a bit of a cheap marketing gig, and turned into something else? Or that it came about after lockdown as the park needed the revenue?

BUMP.
Just for UK peeps, who might also have Sky TV, this was on Documentaries tonight so I guess is available on demand etc...
Class Action Park
Loved by locals but infamous for its insanely dangerous attractions, this film explores New Jersey's Action Park and the incidents that gave it its deadly reputation.

Yeah, I watched this last night on NOW TV and thought it was OK. It was largely a list of crazy things the park did wrong, without really any context, history or what they did right (which must have been something to last so long with all those issues). I'd have liked the makers to have probed a little deeper.BUMP.

Much of the US is in the midst of a freak snowstorm, essentially covering much of Central and Midwest regions. Here's a freak shot of Galveston Pier in snow. Current temps there are 23F (-5C); about matching temperatures here in Ohio! (Where we are presently underneath 6 inches of snow)
I can't believe this shot! Incredible! Snow and sand in Galveston #TexasFreeze #WinterStorm #khou11 #HtownRush pic.twitter.com/4MCZtMRF7Y

For the first 12 or so it looks like it could be any enthusiasts list (minus a few curveballs) but then it drops off.
It’s a shame that i305 still has its reputation for causing blackouts among the public. I guess less lines are good for me marathoning it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We have the concept of “coolness,” and we can just say “We found a list” without identifying it. Good enough — let’s go with it.
I don’t care that they’re GP and don’t use the nerdo terms — I’m just annoyed by “We found a list...”
