Croatia were robbed, the whole Netherlands thing feels a bit suss... but it's unfair to take away from Switzerland really - amazing staging and in a different year, that would have been one of the catchier songs. I did predict Norway would do badly, but I've checked out some of their other...

Yeah, Slovenia's song left me cold - if it's any consolation, the UK tried to send softcore porn as well and it's pretty awful :D Glad to hear some love for Norway - it doesn't feel like it belongs there, but musically, it's great. One of the best tonight, along with the Netherlands...

Took me ages to find this topic :D It's that wonderful time of year again. Watched SF1 with my best friend from school on Tuesday (his taste in music is horrible, but Ireland and Iceland were our only real disagreements!) I'm majorly on the Croatia bandwagon this year (even bought a football...

Much needed - aside from DC Rivals, I remember describing that place as being home to the unholy trinity of awful ride types. As at 2018 - the weakest of the Gold Coast parks.

Really not my favourite ride type, though I figure it'll be quite an experience - but this is one of the first coasters I remember seeing on TV and going 'I've got to get out there and ride this some day' so I've been watching this with more excitement than I usually have for a construction...

^ Only by people who are wrong ;)

Ah, it's taken until today for somebody to mention Fantasy Island - which is the obvious candidate in my book. Think 'best rides in the country' and you'll inevitably give me a list of Merlin coasters, possibly throwing in Icon or Nash, maybe even Megafobia. The two Skeggy Vekomas are actually...

Yessss :) A really well themed breakdance to replace Sub Terra would be marvellous. I'd settle for it at the bottom of X Sector, but it would seem more poetic in the valley. Some people seem to be getting quite excited about the topspin - and as cynical as I normally am, having seen the effort...

Probably too similar to Vortex - but I'm in total agreement. Based on Merlin at the moment, probably another sky swat ;) :P

That section attached to the monorail doesn't look like anything particularly interesting. I've been more intrigued by the development on what was obviously the access pathway at the top of the ride by the queue line - I've seen piping and construction vehicles there a couple of times. On...

^ I'm kind of looking forward to ranking Reborn over Steel Vengeance :D ****ing finally. I thought it was just me 🤣 🤣 I think people just really like corners. I once drove slightly too fast from Skegness to Mablethorpe and if you know that road, you'll see why it was a similar experience...

Silly vampire band released some bonus tracks. It may be barely a week until Eurovision, but this cover is the cheesiest thing I've heard in a while. @Nicky Borrill - we didn't realise Hannah does a mean Bonnie Tyler impression!!

I had a starter today because there was crispy squid. Mmm... crispy squid. There's always exceptions, but I find desserts can be disappointing out - a lot of puddings feel store bought and microwaved. [There will be no need to point out that the crispy squid was probably store bought then deep...

I like Sik. Sik is OK. It has a silly name though. EDIT: This post made more sense before a bunch of stuff was (rightfully) deleted.

Bored of lockers now. This expected to run on opening day (and... more importantly the 28-29th)?

Just watched a POV - that's the first time I've had a proper look at this thing and it looks utterly bat-****. Glad to hear the chaos was shortlived, Nick - I'm rather jealous - hope this trip is showing you EP in its full glory :)

Couldn't find the Minifigure Speedway topic - but I rode it today. Not target audience etc. but couldn't shake the feeling they should have called in vekoma - as bored as I am of junior boomerangs, they're better than this. That said - it looks pretty good, seems to be an absolute winner with...
