This whole thing is just Rollercoaster Tycoon in real life. You start with a map of a few flats, go karts, and rotting theming, take out a huge loan to build an Ultra-Extreme coaster named after the 8 year-old playing the game, and "You have failed your objective!" And now they get to save the...

Bakken is Scandinavia's acid trip. A crazy, overpriced, insane pub crawl with a ton of bars and a few theme park rides and one of them is Tornado in all its absurdity. Glad to see some love for Mine Train Ulven and their Mouse as well, but I struggle to see how anyone can enjoy that stupid...

Liseberg is a beautiful park. Looks great, their ride collection is amazing, and it's a level of class I've yet to see elsewhere. Helix is great and I'm so glad you enjoyed (you really need a few rides to appreciate this one), bu I'm also glad to see some love for Lisebergbanan! Did y'all take...

Day 2 IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Behind some pine trees, a few curves of red RMC I-box track curves low to the ground, with a train themed as a wood and steel battering ram flying over a shallow airtime hill. It's Europe's Cedar Point, they call it. A massive complex of nineteen coasters (plus one...

Hoping to maybe get out there to ride this next weekend. Was supposed to go two weeks ago but hurt my foot at work and was ordered to rest it for all the walking that Poland and Germany would entail. Everyone I've talked to said it's amazing so the theater kid in me is so excited to head out...

Oops! I never finished this. But I did. So it's late, but better late than never. The first Amsterdam day I actually decided is an 18+ thing that doesn't belong on CoasterForce, as it deals with both the Holocaust-related Anne Frank house as well as Amsterdam's Der Wallen Red Light District. If...
