I think it's got the brightest future compared to its past out of all the UK parks, but towers thorpe and blackpool all still beat it for me despite their many issues.

Got one ride on it during the previews last Wednesday. The little courtyard between the ride entrance and the start of the queue was nice by blackpool standards, but they definitely need to put some work in to the stuff around it. The ride itself is great, felt exactly the same as Loke, but they...

There's another never-used monorail station in Sweet Valley, the monorail would've left it where Honey Harbour now is, as you can see from on the ride.

Recently visited a lot of parks in the UK for the first time and gained a couple of unusual opinions along the way. The most unusual of which might just be that Joyland in Great Yarmouth is a top 3 park in the country. 9 extremely silly rides all crammed in a space less than half the size of...

Hello, "Travel Friend" here. I'd like to add a few things of note to this trip report. Let me walk you through my quite frankly ridiculous schedule over these few days. Day 1 - Driving (sitting in the passenger seat) from Atlanta to Orlando (with a detour to Tampa to pick up a friend) after a...

I have very strong feelings that every single RMC stall would be better as a straight hill without exception. In my experience, they're all like very very slight positives, so you just sort of end up sitting there and waiting while you just happen to be upside down. Give me upside down straight...

the brakes themselves aren't especially strong but i found SFFT iron rattler's brake entry to be really uncomfortable, especially in the middle of the train. you get strong air, strong lats, and pretty strong brakes all at the same time.

I absolutely LOVE Hollywood Dream and Eurosat Cancan for the same indescribable reason. They just hit a happy spot in my brain and I've got no idea what about them does that or why. I've got them ranked #40 and #52 out of 526 respectively.

Usually, I'd happily ride even the most boring useless kiddie coaster rather than not riding any coasters. There are only 9 coasters I refuse to ever ride again barring major changes that would fix my issues with them (usually that they're painful). On my spreadsheet, these coasters are listed...

Any idea if these rides will be new for this season, or if it'll take until 2027 to get permission for them? I assume that at least the two coasters are portable models, so they wouldn't take long to build.

because it's the kingda ka "replacement" (not really but whatever) and people still haven't moved on from that over a year later.

i just replace my phone whenever it needs it. from 2021 to 2023 i had a huawei of some sort (i forget what) and one day out of the blue they pushed a software update that slowed it down to practically unusable. got a new phone (an oppo) within a week. eventually, last summer when it was really...

my least common opinion is probably that i'm not bothered that i didn't get to ride either original top thrill dragster or kingda ka (there's no real way to say this without it sounding like i'm coping really hard 😂). i ride stealth and i'm like... yeah okay that was fine. i don't really care...

I've got a few stats in my spreadsheet I only started counting how many rides I took on each coaster in 2023, so these stats are only since then, but in total - I've taken 987 rides on coasters - An average of 1.88 per coaster - An average of 1.988 when you exclude the zeros (coasters I've...

cheeky bit of foreshadowing

The axis is opening in Yanbu which is on the red sea coast, over 11hrs drive from Riyadh.

Ahh but you see, you forgot the worst part. After one of our RTH rides, we rolled back into the station in the front car, facing forwards and looking over the ride plaza. We waited for a few seconds, and.. nothing. The restraints didn't open. The operators came over to manually spin our car into...

it was a bit **** when we were there, but it's hilarious to look back on it 😂
