My wife and I took a three week trip to Australia and New Zealand in September and October this year. This was our third time in that part of the world and was intended to be a kind of “mop up” of the areas in NZ that we hadn’t visited before, along with spending some time in Sydney and...

I just came back from a 3 week trip to Australia and New Zealand where we drove over 2200 miles in 4 different rental cars and saw both the most southerly point of the South Island and the most northerly point of the North Island, as well as visiting 5 theme parks and countless other activities...

Alton Towers, which is under 25 mins away on a good day. It has been my home park and that sort of distance away for almost my entire life. My first visit was in 1981 :D Nowadays I am kind of bored with it having visited many better parks elsewhere in the world, but will typically visit once or...

I was going to write my own thoughts having ridden both Gold Rush and The Wave on Saturday, but you've pretty much said everything I was going to here :D I may as well anyway though... Got 2 rides on Gold Rush, luckily getting one of each cycle and it's a decent family coaster and a great...

Very good question. There's a few parks in the States I've visited when it was too busy or I didn't have enough time to ride a cred more than once. Off the top of my head, the ones that stand out are: The Beast (Kings Island) Banshee Cheetah Hunt Kumba And from a recent visit to Italy, I...

Ooh, @TilenB has done me a massive favour here as I can mostly just copy and paste his entry :) I've put N for trip reports but I might change my mind so I'll message you Hixee if I do. Date: 05/07/2024 Park: Gardaland Roller Coasters: 9 Front Row/Back Row/Solo/New-to-Me: 11 (1/3/0/7)...

Boring name. Tenuous record claims. Just get the damn thing open now so we can see how it rides! 🤷‍♂️

Never posted in this topic before. Here's my list in roughly the order I rode them. Shockwave (Drayton Manor) Thirteen Colossus (Thorpe) Rita Furius Baco Taron Alpine Bobsled (Great Escape) Superman (SFNE) Stealth Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts Cheetah Hunt Bob (Efteling) Hyperion...

Maybe not, but the point I was trying to make was that both rides do everything they need to without any dead spots. No doubt, Hyperia is short for a hyper coaster. You could add more length but would it make the ride any better after those huge, unique elements or would it just be filler...

If the GP is put off riding this because they think it's unsafe, lets not encourage them to think otherwise. It will make the queues shorter for the rest of us :D

When I look at that map, I don't see dominance, I see a lot of parks in close proximity competing with each other. That seems likely to result in the smaller SF/CF parks being starved of investment (possibly moreso than they have been to date) and ultimately sold off or even closed. If they...

You can count me in the "Hyperia is better than Voltron" camp too, though since I two of my three rides on Voltron were really rough, I probably didn't experience it at its best.

Didn't notice that. It was more a few things entering the station building from the queue, like unfinished bricks and bits of "webbing" (I don't really know what you call it) hanging from doorways. But there were plenty of small examples across the new area and the park at large where things...
