Regardless, they are deliberately alluding to it, so surely it's worth at least discussing why they're doing that, no?

As with a few other people, I'm going to preface this by saying that overrated to me does not mean bad. With the disclaimer out of the way... Overrated: Nemesis: looks stunning and is artfully designed, but I always find it a little incoherent after the helix, and too short. Silver Star: The...

Is this an assertion or a question? I think one would need to explain why Intamin in particular shouldn't be included and possibly also Mack who pound-for-pound manage to make arguably some of the strongest rides going.

It's quite impeccable, and shows how acutely their marketing department know their intellectual property assets and how to push certain buttons to get this precise reaction. Nowhere in any of that poster are the words "Son of Beast" mentioned - I'm very impressed by the subtlety and use of...

If this Wildwood doesn't have aggressive singing weasels, I'm not interested. Those Vekoma SFCs always looked pretty neat. Only concern I'd have would be capacity as I think with station brakes, I'm fairly sure that layout can only handle one train.

I think everybody's getting this all wrong. Let me explain: - "Number Five" - There are four original members of rock band The Who, but when you count post-Moon drummer Kenney Jones, you arrive at five. Five people have been in The Who. - "WHO" has three letters - Just like... - You guessed...

Popping branches of other brands into Alton (as they've already done with their Sea Life Centre) seems to be the direction they want to take things. That's probably in keeping with them trying to make it more of a 'resort' than a theme park with a waterpark attached. Gives more people a reason...

Generally, I find it hard getting to parks - life and money often get in the way. Because of that, I tend to try and go off-peak or mid-week so as to avoid spending my rare time in the park hanging around queues. If it's a special coaster, one hour is my maximum. Beyond that, I start feeling...

Thorpe Park: roofed terrace of ennui, branded by The Voice On ITV.

Let's have a look at my humble selection: Rita, Alton Thirteen, Alton Colossus, Thorpe Stealth, Thorpe Desert Race, Heide Colossus, Heide Red Force, Ferrari Land PortAventura Furius Baco, PortAventura (which autocorrect has just tried to turn into Furious Bacon.) A bit of a Noah's Ark for me -...

If it was Merlin, a barn-shaped station would qualify for the tagline "100% immersive, ground breaking theming, the world's first to fuse steel with farm machinery".

I'm yet to ride anything in the States, so for me: 1. Millennium Force 2. El Toro 3. Cyclone (Coney Island) 4. Steel Vengeance 5. Helix 6. Top Thrill Dragster/Kingda Ka 7. Intimidator 305/Fury 325/Decidedly Grumpy 345 8. Maverick 9. Lightning Rod 10. Steel Dragon 2000 Mostly a US-based list...

Hah!

Ah, I knew there was acrrasa I didn't think it was Valravn! Glad I'm not going daft...

Ooh, quite possibly, actually! It would be odd of them to hold a record and not realise or shout about it!

Well, so much for that. Just back from the Pleasure Beach for the first time since February. Despite my going in with deliberately lowered expectations and conscious of trying to see it in isolation rather than boosting it just because I've been waiting for it for years and it's at my favourite...

Banned for not having an SBNO ride as your profile picture.

I don't know the topography of the park at all, so I have no idea where it could go, but on paper, it certainly seems to me that the most likely thing would be something like an RMC T Rex. While something similar to Maverick would appeal to me more as well and it seems like they could do with...

Banned for allowing Steel Vengeance to convert him to ejector airtime. ;)
