My season is as good as over, though I should get one more new cred at a winter funfair if the weather plays ball. Here are my stats with a few extra ones added that I track every year. Coaster count at start of 2024: 407 Coaster count at end of 2024: 488 Coaster count increase: 81 Number of...

My season is effectively over and I got an amazing 81 new creds, and a few made it into the list. My overall top ten is still all Steel coasters so I'll do a separate one for the woodies. New creds from this year in bold. Top 10 Steel Vengeance Taron (I actually count this as joint first with...

That wasn't an option when I was there, possibly because they were sold out. I would have paid that to get a quick ride done tbh. Just been reading your trip report, funnily enough. You had better luck than me! :D

Here we go then, Thursday 10th October - the final day of our holiday. Our flight home wasn’t until 1am the following morning so we had a full day at our disposal. It was raining quite heavily when we left Brisbane in the morning to head down to the Gold Coast for the final time. The forecast...

The following day Anna was going to spend the day with her friend, so that left me free to do some solo park trips. It had rained heavily overnight and the forecast for the day wasn’t too promising either. I was hoping this would mean the parks would be quieter, but I wasn’t taking any chances...

They don't have metal detectors, but even items secured in pockets aren't allowed. Would they spot everything? Probably not, but they did look people over as they wre getting on rides so it wasn't worth the risk of keeping anything, given how slow the ops were.

Well things have change a little since then. The lockers are free now, and there's no gift shop anymore, just a big empty space 😆

I'm actually OK without them, but my wife can't really see anything and also can't wear contacts so she really struggled. As for the spite drama, it will keep people coming back until I finish the report 😂

We flew from Auckland to Brisbane on Sunday 6th October, arriving late afternoon. After picking up our hire car we checked into our AirBnB, which at 5 nights would be the longest time we stayed in any accommodation on the whole trip 😆 First order of business was meeting Anna’s friend that she...

I admire your optimism Matt, but you are way off here. The park looks lovely but the ride offering is garbage, with the only worthwhile attraction being Red Force. As you say, opening the park at 5pm means everyone piles in there to ride RF so if you're not there when the gates open, it's a 90...

The following day we spent the morning in Auckland and did the WETA Workshop Unleashed tour. For the unaware, WETA is the special effects company that worked on the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit movies and tons of other stuff. I won’t bog this post down with a ton of pictures but if you’re into movie...

330 points for a park visit that consisted of 5 rides doesn't quite seem fair, but I'll take it! 😁 My October entries will add a few dots on the edge of that map too!

After a couple of brilliant days in the Sydney sunshine, we took our next flight to New Zealand’s South Island. You may be wondering where Brisbane/Gold Coast comes into this trip and to that I will simply say – later 😉 The South Island has no theme parks or permanent rollercoasters, so...
