The Capybara is in a pumpkin that has a nose and eyes carved through, but the lid it is poking out from also has nose and eyes :( And yes, the Chessington logo's positioning in the moon on the penguin one is disgraceful. I can't believe they sign these things off.

Sorry but what is all this rubbish about 'two clicks, three clicks' are ride operators supposed to manually watch every guest push their restraint down and count the number of clicks now? Surely if the ride system shows a green light and safe to dispatch then it's good to go, and if it isn't...

Yeah it was on the 3rd June. Apparently there’s a few other faces previously associated with Merlin in here but I’m not that clued up.

I miss the community aspect of the forums. Everyone got to know everyone and while we always welcome new members, it was a really close, tight-knit community without being exclusive. I find “groups” on social media have so many people in them you barely get to know people and it lacks that...

How has Hero avoided being mentioned in this topic?

“Roller Coaster” at Holiday World This was my first “Technical Park” coaster so wasn’t sure what to expect. It looked like it should have been really janky but it was actually pretty smooth for what it was. Nothing majorly thrilling, a few tiny pops of airtime and helixes although one of the...

Anything with a trommel tunnel. They make me physically sick. I can’t tell you how pleased I am the one in Curse never works.

Wasn’t he photographed with the team that “broke ground” months ago? I thought this was already kinda known?

Nothing really exotic for me. I have done trips to Europe specifically for coaster purposes. It was probably a Spain trip I did with a few others on here way back in 2007. In terms of journey time though, I grossly underestimated Oakwood twice. Once via Huddersfield to pick up Harvey and then...

MF and Bullet were only 4ft 6” so about 137cm. ECG, I am always lurking around the “thoosie” community here or social media (in between supporting ‘Boro’s new USMNT star, Aidan Morris, of course!)

Didn’t know if this was worth a new topic but I’m going to pose a question which might take it off topic? So Mods if you think it should move please do! Velocity at Flamingo Land had recently been closed for a number of weeks for maintenance, since reopening they have increased the minimum...

Well it would appear whatever is happening with it, it certainly isn’t staying in its current form! 📸: George Whitelaw

Reading between other posts I’ve seen dotted about it sounds like it’s being changed/adapted to be even more suited for family crowds. It has served the park for 20 years in between a catalogue of maintenance issues (and a dead monkey for good measure) so it’s about time it got changed or...

I see your point… but the animation on the Alton Towers video showed three rides leaving so maybe that’s staying.

Wouldn’t go as far as suggesting an immediate new flat ride from that news. They probably think the re-opening of Duel as Curse of Alton Manor, the eventual reopening of Hex and the reopening of Sub-Terra is enough to saturate the crowds. We have of course got Project Horizon too… I have...
