I was in the queue for both of the tech delays last night! Some tense moments wondering whether we'd get our ride in the dark, fair play to the park for persevering and running it well into the night. It was a fantastic night ride, but waited 3 hours including the downtime! Busiest I've ever...

I did 24 on Mandrill Mayhem last December when it (bizarrely) opened during Winter's Tail. Was desperate for some off-season rides and only planned to pop in for a few laps, but it was empty and I got talking to a staff member who said the most they'd ever seen someone do in a day was 23, which...

Thanks! I definitely have fonder memories looking back on it than I did at the time, though an odd sense of satisfaction is a good way of describing the feeling of arriving at park #3. About 4mph I guess :p Pre-pandemic I used to work somewhere a similar distance away, so to avoid getting buses...

Completely forgot I did this a month ago and left the report in draft. So wonder no more! 3 Merlin parks by public transport - 1st September 2024 With the calendar quickly filling up for the final couple of months of the season, I wasn't sure whether I’d get around to testing this ridiculous...

Finally managed to get this into a stable enough state to put my name to it. At least until I change my mind again tomorrow... (Contextual info: CC 130, UK based, age 23) 1. Iron Gwazi, Busch Gardens Tampa Not a lot I can say about this ride that others haven't. I'm kind of in that honeymoon...

New-to-me coasters from a recent Florida visit: Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure (#123) The intention here was very clearly to create a family coaster to top Expedition Everest. Mission accomplished. It's bang on the money for its target thrill level (the launches had slightly...

Own it For some reason I got it into my head that riding roller coasters is not a "cool" hobby and would feel a bit awkward about discussing interests or weekend plans with work colleagues etc. And yeah, if you act nervous - or even ashamed - about discussing it, it will be an awkward...

Sad to see, I'm planning to visit the park later this year for the first time since 2016, and though I did do Scorpion last time my memories are hazy. It's a shame to see another Schwarzkopf potentially biting the dust, but even more so because it was one of the most "accessible" ones, being...

Thorpe Park once again rocking it with the ops today. Not a single moment of downtime on Hyperia, all 6 major coasters operating pretty reliably and trains being hammered out - staff are clearly being incentivised to produce high throughputs given how much the Hyperia team went into overdrive in...

Technically closest - Chessington. 15 minute drive or 45 minute public transport. Generally will do one full day and 3-4 "pop in for a couple of hours" trips per season. If Mandrill Mayhem ever loses its single rider queue, I could see those quick trips disappearing. Honorary "home park" -...

Legoland Windsor - 4th August 2024 Despite living relatively close, I had no real intentions of hitting the new coasters at Legoland this year, and certainly not on a warm summer holiday weekend. The journey by public transport seemed too long and convoluted for a park which realistically only...

Epsom (Surrey), UK

Day 4 - Energylandia Day 2 To avoid what we'd feared may have been a difficult commute both days, we'd booked fresh accommodation at a small holiday park some 3km from Energylandia. It was a nice little cabin with a cracking view of Zadra in the distance, but not remotely pedestrian-friendly. In...

Kraków Airport has a train station, but it's not a direct journey to the park. You'd have to do 20 mins on the SKA1 train line to the city centre, then change onto the SKA2 line for a 1-hour journey to Zator Park Rozrywki, which is the station you want for Energylandia. If you're going direct...

As all have said, really interesting question! Simple answer for me would be most coasters at BGT. Visited as part of a family holiday on a sweltering and absolutely rammed day in 2016 and got on each of them exactly once. So I have Montu, Kumba, Sheikra all in a vague "that was really good"...
