Yes, it’s capacity is the same as Blitz on one station, which is how they’ve often operated it for the last few years. But every time I’ve been this year it’s been busy enough to be on two. To get a lower capacity than Blitz on 2 stations they’d have to consistently despatch at intervals of over...

You do say some weird things 😂 😂 😂 Blitz has a max theoretical of 960 rph... Oblivion has been running on 6 trains and both stations, even a team of poorly trained, one armed, monkeys, having a banana break every 2 minutes, could beat 960 with Oblivion on 6 and 2. (Fairly sure you know this...

It has a story, it has theme music, we’re starting to see props, it has a colour scheme, buildings surrounding it have been kitted out in the same scheme, there will be effects (splashdown, smoke etc) and lighting, we even have a protagonist now. This is no longer ‘just stylised.’ A few more...

I don't know why... I can't put my finger on a reason, but I absolutely love that... 😍😍😍 I keep watching it, over and over. Weirdly, felt a little emotional the first time too. WE'RE NEARLY THERE FELLOW UK GOONS.... ONLY 30 years of waiting!!! It's not too 'fancy,' nothing groundbreaking, no...

1800's? Coasters were already fairly well known in the 1800's, and popping up all over the place in some form or another. Definitely by the second half of the century. America got it's first switchback railway in 1827, Western Europe built similar rides before that. The first looping coaster...

That would be perfect. 🤌

There’s your answer then… The truth is, as painful as it is to admit, the rest of us like to comment because we believe we could do it better, we wish we were doing it, but in actual fact we don’t know everything that goes into it. There’s nothing wrong with that per se, it’s human nature...

First of all, it's key to define the difference between a rattle, and a rough coaster. A rattle is just a noise caused by vibration... Depending on their tolerance, that vibration can induce headaches, amongst other things, in some people, affecting their enjoyment of the ride. A rough coaster...

Is Russia going to be annexed by Croatia? Is that where the space for these '2 additional attractions' is coming from?

That's the key thing... I am finding myself being more critical of things, but it doesn't ruin anything for me... I can say this or that would be better, or I am not a fan of x, y, z, but still have an absolute blast. Anyway, we've gone off on a tangent here, discussing psychology lol... Back...

That isn't in the slightest bit controversial... At this point I'm not even sure it classes as subjective, it's more an objective fact. What awful crime did you commit to deserve that punishment? 🤫🤫🤫 Shhh... Crazy talk right there, people will start getting the wrong idea about you. Also...

This is actually really good, they should have put that on the album and performed it on tour. :/

I'm 40s, and had a break last year... I've been more critical since coming back. 🙈 😂 My kids are grown up now, but some of the best times with them, through the years, have been spent travelling Europe and beyond for theme parks. So it makes me very happy to hear you're making the most of...

I feel like I'm always moaning and picking fault lately, instead of just enjoying things... Is this what happens with age? But my goodness, I am not a fan of 'Fearless Valley.' It sounds like they were really struggling for names and so looked to their big brother in the North for ideas...

FFS Energylandia, can you not open anything fully finished? Why is there multiple metal latticework structures left uncovered? It's not like they haven't had time. :(

WHY ARE WE SHOUTING? On a serious note, can it really be classed as 'overrated?' I mean, it's going to be rated very high by casual UK enthusiasts, because it's the biggest thing in the UK, but can that be classed as 'over' rated, when it is the biggest thing in the UK?

Just seen the pipe, That's not where the waterfalls carry the water up, instead it's under the monorail, weird. The waterfalls draw their water up several huge metal pipes near the drop / lift. Not saying it isn't linked, but it's strange in that if it is, this is the bit they're working on...

Seek professional help immediately... :mad: But seriously, lots of people don't seem to get it. You're not alone. Personally I don't think there's a dead moment. From the powerful first launch, to the positives G's as you sweep up under the dragon, transitioning instantly into powerful...

Completely disagree.. Formula, Abyssus and Lech are the vekomas that stand out as smooth to me, sure they're not 'RMC Smooth' but certainly much less rattly than Macks latest offerings. Voltron is more rattly than Taron, which does have a bit of a rattle itself. Velocicoaster and Kondaa were...

Days 2 & 3 Phantasialand / Charles Lindbergh Day 2 I was struggling to find the motivation to type up the report for PL, what can I write that hasn't already been said? I could moan about the negative elements, because they're certainly not something you commonly hear about this park. I...
