If the three tracks for Steeplechase were separated and moved to 3 separate parks, would you consider them 3 creds?

I would argue that pretty much all Dueling coasters are separate creds, Matterhorn included. Thought experiment, at what point do the rides stop being separate creds. 1. Two Vekoma SLCs exist in two separate parks. These are considered two creds. 2. Now, I move one of the SLCs into the same...

I guess the reason for most of those being overrated to some people is because a large number of people DO love then, and speak about them highly.

Yes I agree, my favourite visits have been in either September or March time, generally weekday.

Not sure if they're the most overrated parks you've been to then ;). Most overrated I've actually been to is probably Busch Gardens Tampa. It felt more like a funfair than the luscious theme park I was expected. Maybe that's my fault.

I've had a bit of a journey with how I've felt about Efteling. My first visit was in 2013 with some Dutch RCT3 enthusiasts, all of whom were lovely and I enjoyed the day. However, I left underwhelmed. Other keen enthusiasts on forums I frequented (note: not the ones I met on the day) led me to...

My earliest theme park memories are the drop into the dragon's mouth on Dragon Falls and being scared by Terror Tomb (particularly the sarcophagus scene) at Chessington World of Adventures. It saddens me that both of these are only memories now as both have been removed.

Revenge of the Mummy - Universal Orlando Amazing ride, but it always irked me that the theme changes from movie set, to Egyptian Tomb to acknowledging that it's a theme park ride. I'd propose consistently theming it as a Tomb like the Singapore version is.

Efteling is my favourite park, but looking at this make me feel sad. This will alter what is a lovely entrance plaza to be dominated by a new large building. It feels a shame.

The difficulty for me is that the parks are not as I last experienced them in 2014! Universal has had an active downgrade with Twister, Beetlejuice, Disaster and Terminator 2 all gone to be replaced with awful attractions. Hollywood studios would have been a contender, but it has been...

I would be incensed if the vaccinated had to deal with restrictions because of the unvaccinated. Plain and simple. For most, not getting vaccinated is a choice. Freedom to make a choice is different to freedom from the consequences of that choice. Why should the rest of us suffer?

I'm sure there are things I'd rather have (wooden coaster) but honestly I think it looks fab.

It is worth pointing out that to date Saw the Ride and Walking Dead are the only major UK Merlin coasters with an IP currently attached. The others do not: Swarm Nemesis Inferno Stealth Colossus Nemesis The Smiler Wicker Man Th13teen Oblivion Spinball Galactica Vampire Dragon's Fury Rattelsnake

I thought I was right that the B&M hyper rumours were unfounded nonsense.

Hardly a go-to example of dead IPs though given there may be a sequel series.

How is that a dead IP, it was released only months ago?

Volare. I have insider knowledge that it's a Volare.

Hey guys, this is something I've recently completed. Themed to the hit series Squid Game, this is a dark ride / coaster which takes riders through the 6 deadly games.

It feels like a bit of a self-feeding monster. It sounds like a hyper is a strong rumour, but I think that's because enough people are saying it and discussing it, but it's unclear exactly where it started. The more people say it, the stronger it becomes, but it doesn't mean the starting point...

I am still struggling to work out on what basis everyone has concluded it's a hyper coaster, or even anything specific at all, as aren't all these rumours just "he said shee said" heresay?
