Yeah - Phantasialand is amazing - Black Mamba I loved but didn't go on enough, Taylor from Coaster Studios actually prefered it to Nemesis - each to their own but I think it comes down to how you're feeling that day, your expectations etc etc - Taylor is absolutely right hype yourself enough but...

It does actually pull some serious G's on that downward helix, it's a monster for a B&M inverted! Going down that helix and feeling the force then being whipped up into one of the best zero G moments ever, all while flying really close to rock... just amazing. The Smiler is also incredible. To...

Love it. My first 'big coaster' was Oblivion at Alton Towers on my 11th birthday. I had done a Pinfari Looper at Drayton Manor and Jet Star in the dark (Black Hole) before then, so I was crapping myself as this was the real deal and basically vertical. This 20 year old blonde woman was like "do...

That was your first coaster?! I've still yet to do it... that's some first ride!

Just wondering, I've only rode X: No Way Out once, in 2006, when it was backwards. Is it a new cred if I now ride again? Same track but you're going forwards.. so a technically a different ride.. but contentious I know. I never got to ride Swarm backwards but, even though it was the same track...

Wodan's some good 50!

Okay great thanks!

Also it is polarising you're right... I LOVED the Beast - maybe not the trims, but I think they're needed as it goes fast and the sense of speed is just a heck of a lot of fun. Especially the tunnel part. Also I got a pitch black night ride on it and that was INSANELY good. Though I have yet to...

Sometimes, you're having so much fun at a theme park you forget exactly where you're coaster count is! But for the most part I try to make a milestone special. Didn't have much control over my no. 1 (some dragon coaster in the Isle of Wight). Not much to say about my 50, which was Marble Madness...
