Better profiling than that Iranian cred!

New for 2033 at Alton Towers - Pirate Ship on a Podium!

After some thoughts and planning, my 2024 is now at an end for new stuff. So here goes... Quick Stats Coaster count at start of 2024: 331 Coaster count at end of 2024: 408 Coaster count increase: 77 (New personal best) Park count at start of 2024: 62 Park count at end of 2024: 78 Park count...

I said it about Hyperia, and I'll say it about this. That's gonna stall one day.

Spitfire has an inverting top hat. So at 240ft high its gimmick is that it's got the highest inversion of any coaster in the world.

I guess with the new coaster opening next year, they're getting a solid family coaster replacement already. A new extreme coaster would benefit the park nicely, given the successes of Kondaa too. Whilst I haven't ridden it in ages, I always enjoyed Loup Garou, and will be sad if it does get RMC'd.

It's awful and I love it.

It's not really my thing. Then again, as a whole, London isn't really my thing. I live in Surrey. I can get to London Waterloo in just over 40 minutes, door to door, but maybe go into London once or twice a year. It's expensive and busy and generally just eurgh. Winter Wonderland is much the...

And here is the Traumatica review. For those unaware, Traumatica takes place roughly behind the Greece / Croatia area, with most of the mazes built in there in what I assume are permanent buildings. As such, it's largely in an otherwise unused part of the park, but the event also uses the...

My Pursuit to 400 crescendo-ed with my first ever visit to Europa Park last month. I'll take a beat here, as I know loads of people are a bit surprised that it's taken me this long to get to Europa. I first started doing theme parks abroad 9 years ago, why has it taken me so long to get to a...

Fixed that for you.

Full plans have been submitted, and seem to suggest a 2027 opening: Some things I've found from reading the plans: -The park considered replacing the Zoo with Minecraft World: -The plans state that 75% of the ride is indoors. As we see the section of the ride that is outdoors, that...

Was it? I do feel like people have rose-tinted specs / try to re-write history when it comes to Ripsaw. Enthusiasts regularly complained it was run on a rubbish setting. It was always seen as the 'weaker brother' compared to Rameses Revenge when it came to UK Top Spins. I never saw it have a...

Thorpe Park are moving Slammer at the start of next year. Nothing is, as of yet, set to take its place, with the pit under the ride remaining as is for now:

Hmmm, I think that's a bit overly kind towards the thought process. The ride, whilst broadly in the same location, is still different in terms of location, and is being built on a whole new concrete platform going over a pathway. Queue will be completely different as a result. Ripsaw closed...

Naruto coaster looks cool bar the fact it will have a TERRIBLE throughput. Swing colours are nice.

Could see Paultons going for something like this, especially if Intamin have a nice stock layout pre-designed. It would work well for both parties: Intamin can showcase their model and the stock layout, and Paultons get stock (ie: cheaper) coaster which is still unique, and fits into their line...
