Went to watch that there Project Hail Mary last night. It's excellent, best film I've seen in quite some time in fact. To be fair, it's the only film in quite some time that I've actually felt the urge to go and see at the cinema, with it not being a sequel, prequel, reboot, franchise or a...

Wildfire for me, but honourable mentions to Zadra, ArieForce One, Goliath and Hyperia.

I had a one word answer - BROMS... but Josh beat me to it.

Me too. The CF Poll is the poll of polls. I'm sure the lads are on it, right?

I've changed my mind and my vote to 'F*** yeah'.

Like many people, I watched the first POV's and thought... 'meh', but I gotta say, some of the rider-cam reaction videos that have started to appear over the last week tell a different story. That guy from Coaster Studios, for example, legit looks like he had an out-of-body experience, you can...

I remember getting a ton of abuse and nearly being hounded off this forum for having the audacity to suggest that those wretched facemasks didn't work and that lockdowns were a con. But it's ok, I forgive y'all.

I mean, I know it is big, but next to The Big One, it actually looks kinda tiny! Those aerial shots in particular make it look like a kiddy swing. 😂

Here we go again, then. Hope this is posted in time to count towards the 2025 poll. Same as last year - no spreadsheets, no scoring system, just made up on the spot based on what coasters I wish I could be riding right now: 1. Steel Vengeance. 2. The Ride to Happiness. 3. Shambhala. 4. Fury...

My year turned out to be not too shabby in the end, thanks to a couple of unexpected bonus trips that weren't originally planned. I was never gonna scale the dizzy heights of 2024, but still got a decent number of park days in and a reasonably good boost to the cred count. March. Day trip to...

Final planning permission granted, it would seem. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17eX6CF2gv/

Me n Mrs Howie just had a week in Pigeon Forge which, naturally, included several visits to the fabulous Dollywood . I went there last year of course with my crew, but it was a hot day in June with crowds at 95% and it was only with the help of fast-track tickets that we got all the creds done...

Couple of pictures of the construction site, taken yesterday from the choo-choo. It's a big-ass building that's for sure, and you can see some of the ride's support structure going up inside, as well as some of the concrete channels for the watery bits. Looks good. I'm excited to see how it...

Pineapple McSpicy. Freakin' awesome. 👌 That is all.

To be fair, lots of things are better than Maverick. <ducks for cover>
