    When you rode your now-#1 for the first time, what did you think of it?

    Out of the number one coasters I have had throughout the years, none of them were an instant hit. I guess the same can be said about my favourite music or food. Perhaps it's because most of us, as human beings, naturally prioritise what's familiar and anything that deviates from that we often...

    Biggest misnomers in the theme park industry

    Medusa - B&Ms are easy on the eye.

    Walibi Belgium | Loup-Garou RMC conversion | 2028

    Looking forward to seeing what the layout turns into! at the moment those turns are a little sharp, even for Joe Draves 😏

    How would you improve each coaster in your top 10?

    Overdue an update ... 1: Steel Vengeance: I don't think I would change anything layout-wise. I understand why people aren't fans of the bunny hops at the end, but I love the aggressiveness. ... I dunno maybe make the chain lift quieter? 2: Hyperion: Reprofile the hill before the overbank to...

    Rank the B&M Dive Machines

    I should probably wait until I get on Yukon Striker first but ... 1. Sheikra I just love Sheikra for some reason. The height, the speed, the airtime, the intensity ... whatever it is, she just serves. 2. Valravn Far better than I expected. I didn't find the vest restraints much of an issue...

    What Is Your Favorite Flat Ride?

    Drop Towers are my favourite generally, especially the Intamin ones. I don't think I have ever passed up the opportunity to ride them. Pendulum rides are probably my second favourite, but I much prefer the outerseat versions (Intamin, Zampera) rather than the inwards facing spin-heavy KMGs. I...

    Interesting non-theme park travel reports

    Belfast - 4th of April 2026 Last year for my birthday I received a £25 gift card for Ryanair, naturally it's taken me almost a year to actually use it despite flying to Copenhagen with Ryanair last year (forgot I had it 🙄) Taking advantage of this I booked the cheapest flight I could find...

    [August 2025] Canadia - Day 3: Ronde

    How much was the coach to Niagara Falls? My sister went to Toronto last year but didn't go there as it was apparently too expensive, but I think she may of been taking about the boat tour as well.

    [August 2025] Canadia - Day 3: Ronde

    I am doing the same trip in June (minus La Ronde) for 3 days so I'm interested to see how this one plays out haha (booked it forgetting the world cup is on - we'll see how that goes 😅) Did you fly with Air Transat? I'm flying with them and apparently they charge for headphones to play the IFE...

    The Best Zero G Stall

    I'll admit, it's a specific question, but what's the best Zero-g Stall? As there are becoming more and more common we have seen some variants over recent years.

    WTF Merlin?

    Merlin are beyond desperate at this point.

    WTF Merlin?

    To be fair Merlin used John Wardley to market Thirteen and The Smiler when Candy Holland and her team made most of the creative decisions.

    [May 2025] Stockholm Circular - Day 4: Kolmarden but also kinda not Kolmarden

    Here comes the Vasa ... 🤩 Your hostel didn't happen to be a boat did it? Mine was because it's the only place I could afford to stay.
