Don't apologise for the polls, I love them! Stealth for me as it's a great rush and it's the fastest launch I've done. Oblivion though is great. I love the build up and the drop is fantastic.

There's also a difference between the enthusiast reception to B&M Hypers and that of the GP. It does seem that the GP reception to then is very favourable.

/\ Perhaps some of that comes down to how many more people have ridden Joris compared to Troy?

Of the 4 dive coastersive done, despite being the shortest drop I found the build up to Baron's drop the most exciting, which in turn made it my favourite.

Has something happened to the dragon?!

I am OK with brief bursts positive Gs but not a fan of long sustained G forces. I think Nemesis is around my limit, as I can ride it once and find myself a bit queasy after, but not to an extent that lasts beyond 30 mins or so. Manta made me feel dreadful! I much prefer airtime.

I've only done Efteling, so this is a short list: 1. Baron 1898 (track of Joris is better than Baron, but Baron is a better whole experience) 2. Joris en de Draak Vuur (both Joris coasters are top 10 for me) 3. Joris en de Draak Water 4. De Vliegender Hollander 5. Bob (RIP) 6. Vogel Rok 7...

Agree with much of what you've just said MouseAT. The truth is that the hardware just isnt good either. There's a lot of technical parts for what is essentially just VR, which at it's core is just not that fun or exciting. Also could not agree more...disco X was the best X.

This all being said, using Game of Thrones as an example, it is surprising and unexpected in a coherent and thematically viable way. If in the middle one episode Ned Stark walked into a room and suddenly the room was in 18th Century France I wouldn't think that was a clever surprise, I'd think...

As far as I'm concerned the only illusion in the entire ride is the hanging carriage. The rest is not illusions, it's basically just screens. Hardly impressive. Additionally it's slow loading times and regular breakdowns mean it is almost impossible for the ride to live up to the hype. Its...

I regret it right now whilst I can't go to the international parks. I've spoilt my opinion of the parks nearer by going to better ones further away. Now I cant go to those further ones!

My understanding is that the 'height' of 65ft is measured from the top of the land behind the drop and NOT from the plaza / hole area. The plaza / hole itself is significantly lower. I believe it is 180ft as advertised.

I think I'd be disappointed with anything below 1 major ride per hour, but in general it's more to do with not doing the main rides I want to. EDIT: in general I'm more than happy to be an opportunist and ride smaller rides as and when I see them at parks I'm familiar with. I'd happily ride...

You've done everything apart from the seat? Really, EVERYTHING? How are you achieving the spin? I have no idea how you'd get a coaster seat and restraint. I cannot imagine you can just buy a seat and restraints and if you could I imagine it would be incredibly expensive. How much money do you...

Only ranking the ones I've been to, and the year I last visited: Disneyland Paris (2012) Love the different takes on the classic rides and it's a beautiful park. Magic Kingdom (2014) So much to do and lots of classic rides. Animal Kingdom (2014) Stunning scenery, love seeing the animals...

Probably not, SBNO is normally their style.

Tussauds were not perfect. However, what they did do was oversee the growth of many parks into major destinations we know today. Chessington grew from a zoo into a theme park under them. The park arguably peaked in 2000, and I'd argue that Tussauds also let the park decline beyond that. Merlin...

Oof, a tough one to remember as I've not actually written any of this down. I'm going on gut feeling alone. I've probably visited Efteling or Disneyland Paris the most times. I've done 7 trips to Efteling, most of which were for at least 2 days. I estimate 19 visits. I've done 8 trips to...

I visited Efteling alone in January 2014. It was a really quiet day and one of my first rides was Vogel Rok. I entered the station and I was the only one waiting. I sat a the front of the coaster on my own. I did the ride, but by the time I returned to the station it had filled out. So, I...

I hear that all the best top secret projects are passed by the janitor before being officially ratified.
