Very much this. No one ever seems to mention Sea World in the big Orlando debate, and yes Blackfish makes you feel slightly conflicted, but as a park its outstanding

Thats the problem with hypotheticals isn't it? If you took a coaster with 2 lift hills and split it into 2 separate coasters it would then be 2 creds. Therefore, logically, any coaster with 2 lifts is 2 creds? The thing is, there is no right or wrong way to count. I rarely meet 2 people who...

For no particular reason I've always approached on the basis as to whether the tracks are different or the same. For example Steeplechase at Blackpool is certainly not 3 creds as far as I'm concerned. Nor had I treated Grand National as 2, mobius design or not (plus, treating it as 2 would mean...

Following on from Nicky, I went on Halloween and had a great day with the mazes and everything, although likewise had to cope with closures left right and centre including this at around 7.30pm, right in prime night ride territory Add to that that Galactica and Nemesis had down time as well...

🙈 I’m totally actually ashamed at that.

I know people are very excited about this, and sure when I get to SFMM (probably 2023) I'll go on it, but I just wish it wasn't a single rider arrangement. I know that that's the whole USP of it and everything, but one of my loves of coasters is sharing it with someone. Be it my 8 year old and...

Looking at my top 20 - the one that jumps out is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland Paris - an absolute joy of a ride. An argument could be made for most Disney rollercoasters I feel, as its the often the theming rather than the intensity that elevates them, but this one for me remains...

"Isn't this a lovely day for a nice normal relaxing tour/journey/flight/boat ride etc. Oh no... something has gone horribly wrong" yada yada yada

This is the PDF for the rides - looks like 4 coasters there - never been before so can't tell if any are new as all 4 will be new creds for me https://hydeparkwinterwonderland.com/static/416065983479a285b4040dd75a9afa4e/Guide-Sheet-Rides-at-Hyde-Park-Winter-Wonderland-2021.pdf

Both Free Guy and No Time to Die are excellent films - I'm sure you'll enjoy both Things to look forward to: In terms of theme parks - October 31st at Alton Towers, probably dressed a la Squid Game. Longer term a week in Florida and 2 weeks in Japan are all booked Non-theme park - tickets to...

I did one in Churwalden, Switzerland a few years back. I do Count them (each to their own as counting rules - I'm sure I miss out those others do Count) and it sits in my top 1/3 of coasters ridden. A lot of fun, and amazing views. And yeah, and I would say that it is exciting as well. And strap...

Great trip report. Cannonball express didn’t do it for me, but it did have some of the best head choppers I’ve ever seen! I genuinely think if arms were up they’d have a chance of being hit on that!

There's an episode of How I Met Your Mother where Barney is about to reach the magic number of 200 and he wants it to be a special woman but it turns out that he counted incorrectly and it turns out to be a women he really didn't want to be his milestone (which actually sounds really bad as I...

During a recent trip to San Sebastian, I persuaded my other half to interrupt our Pintxos eating with a trip up Monte Igueldo to ride Montana Suiza. Behind only Wild West Mine Train @ Ocean Park (IMHO) in terms of amazing views, this 93 year old was beautiful and so much fun. Having the...

Haha well done autocorrect! It felt like being smited second time around I tell you!

Twice smited on Matterhorn bobsleds - 2 visits to the other side of the world 3 years apart and closed each time 😞

Fairly sure this isn’t too common: Furius Baco is a brilliant ride and one of the best night rides out there. All I’ve heard is bad about this ride, it’s rough blah blah blah. It’s brilliant!

So Day 6 and off to Brean Theme (Ha! In a full on Edna Krabappel voice Ha!) Park. I mean theme park. Come on. It’s a travelling fair that doesn’t travel. Best part of £25 of a wristband is anything but good value, and on arrival to pick up the wristbands I was told that Crazy Loop wouldn’t be...

Day 5 and its off to Florida, or at least it must be as I'm sure that I saw Peppa Pig Land and we know from the advertisements that the Florida one is first in the world! Of course we went to Paulton's Park. Arriving nearly an hour after opening thanks to 2 lanes of the M25 being shut we were...

Day 4 Chessington World of Adventures Or at least half a day. Because when I came to book the tickets were from 2pm. Which would be fine until you arrive there with a full house of 100 minute plus waits. I can't help but think that somewhere in there there is a decent park, but the sheer...
