Can't lie, I did get a bout of the feels. 'Hug a Wookie' - childhood ambition realised! 🥰 But if you think that's bad, you should have seen me on Rise of the Resistance - I was actually crying at the end. Not even exaggerating - there were actual tears of pure joy. I know, right? It's...

You ready for a hot take? Ok here goes: VelociCoaster didn't win me over. I mean, I liked it, it's a great roller coaster, I'm still gonna give it a very respectable 9/10, but somehow it didn't blow me away like it has done for so many others. The question is... why not? On paper it should have...

Iron Gwazi. Yessssss! What a beast! It's awesome. Really, really awesome. 10 out of 10, obviously. But you all kinda knew that anyway. The real question is, how awesome? Where does it sit in the rankings? How does it compare to the other big RMC's, as well as the other elite Florida coasters? Ok...

Bit of a stretch this one but... any excuse for a cheeky name drop: 10th RMC, Iron Gwazi. Pictured with CF royalty, Jerry, Ian and some guy who designs RMC's.

Ha ha, someone clearly doesn't know me very well. 🤣

Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket. Sh*te. What on earth is this even doing at Universal Studios? It just doesn't belong at all. The restraints are awful, the layout is awful, it looks trash, it rides trash... it is trash. Bin it. Couple of marks for height, speed and some reasonable forces but, out of...

Closed for annual maintenance and technically not a new-to-me cred as I rode it on previous visits (very glad it was Kraken that was closed and not one of the other B&M's! Definitely dropped lucky on that one) but yeah it's very good. Or at least it was in '03 and '07. I think it was top 10...

Me and Mrs Howie are very strict about this. We enjoy both, but a takeaway, as in a meal that we take away and eat at home, has to be Chinese. If we want Indian, it has to be eaten at the restaurant. This makes no sense, I know that, but it's just a weird habit that we've gotten into and can't...

Come on dude, you're really gonna have to give us more than that. The video link doesn't work and the picture is sideways. Feedback on what, ffs?

Pipeline: The Surf Coaster. Almost certainly the best stand-up coaster on the planet but... hmm, yeah, that's not really saying much, is it? It's kinda like saying VAT is the best tax, or that syphilis is the best of the venereal diseases. At the end of the day it's still a stand-up coaster and...

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. It's ace. Really good fun. Nothing too intense of course - it's not tall, it's not fast, it's not particularly forceful - but the pure entertainment value here is off the scale. The onboard music obviously plays a big part in that and your own personal...

I like that. You say it's daft, Hixee, but there's way dafter already out there (the death roll, the mososaurus roll, the 270° double inverting corner stall etc...) In comparison, Monks Roll has a rather nice ring to it. That's what I'm going with and I'm gonna keep calling it that in the hope...

Balls of absolute steel on those cherry picker dudes. That thing looks so top heavy and unbalanced, you wouldn't catch me up there in a million years. 😮

This one came as a shock - Matthew Perry, AKA Chandler Bing. 54. Drowned in his hot tub, aapparently. 🤷‍♂️ https://news.sky.com/story/friends-star-matthew-perry-dies-of-apparent-drowning-at-54-12995478

Well, I mean... it's London isn't it? It just is. Greatest city in the world, always has been. Despite that trumped up little sh*t, Sadiq Khan, and his best efforts to try and ruin it for everyone, London is still the Top Dog in my book. NYC comes in second, what an amazing, buzzing place that...

You really gonna make me recount the misery and suffering of the pothole incident again? Really? Fine, if you insist. This was the first occurence of 'The Curse of @Sandman', one of two incidents that would see us deploy the use of a rescue/recovery service. I'll bet when he gets the...

#Coastle Boss. 😁

I haven't ridden Cobra's Curse, Tigris or Chunt, but I'm fairly confident that none of them would beat out any of the B&M trio, so I still have no hesitation in voting Montu.
