Trackwork is complete!

Day 3: Lyon Tourism There isn't much to say here, so sit back and look at photos instead. We took the metro with several changes before taking a funicular railway up to this Basilique de Notre Dame thing which had an ancient Roman amphitheater nearby. Paying for the Metro was super easy with a...

I don't really have a "bucket list" of rides that I am dead set on getting on - because it changes all the time. There'll be a ride that I initially won't care about in the slightest, then one day it becomes the only coaster I ever want to get on. This happened with a little single-rail launch...

Part 51: Drayton Manor Park One of my least favourite parks in the country had to get a new ride, replacing my favourite drop tower of all time. They also managed to make Shockwave not closed all the time. So I visited, more out of "having to" rather than actually wanting to. Although with two...

Another one - there's almost certainly a reason as to why a certain ride or coaster model is rarely seen. I remember being so excited to getting on my first ever Maurer X Car in Formule X at Drievliet, and while it had some decent pops of air, the ride was a rattly shaky mess with horrible...

Time to lock in and finish this off. Day 8: Parc Saint Paul #333 Aérotrain is what convinced me that these types of junior coasters also classify as kiddie coasters instead of family coasters. It was an oddly slow version of the classic roller skater that really didn't achieve all that much...

Something that kills me about the Spike is that it's a really cool angle on coaster design. It allows for all 3 axes of freedom at all times, you can accelerate and decelerate whenever you want, it completely ignores all physics limitations which means you can literally make the track do...

Day 7: Parc Astérix Haven't been here in a decade - let's see what changed. #329 Toutatis was the first ride of the day - despite being at the front of the park it was a wise decision to rope-drop it. The ride is an interesting specimen being an 'unconnected' multi-launch layout where the...

Thank you for all the responses everyone! Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you lot but finally here. @Matt N I definitely think language barriers are a large cause to the problem, especially if a lot of the story is told through voice (such as madhouses). Although sometimes the tone of...

Hi. A call for help here. Recently I've done a few dark rides where I've come off with zero feelings for them: -River Caves -Wallace and Gromit: Thrill-O-Matic -Valhalla -Pirates of the Caribbean -Geister Rikscha -Vliegende Hollander -Fata Morgana -Symbolica -Villa Volta -and literally every...

I apologise for bringing this thread back up with a non-update, but has literally anything happened with this ride - land clearing, planning permissions, teasing? I suspect more would happen in the off season when it comes around but surely there would be some groundwork starting up by now if...

Day 6: Nigloland We parked, I forgot where we parked, and set off. #323 Descente en Schlitt' is a pleasantly smooth wild mouse and was pretty decent for what it was. The brakes didn't try to kill me, the corners were manageable, the hills were fun. Noice. I forgot most of what happened with...

I rode my 50th Vekoma on my most recent park trip, so may as well post here: all of my manufacturers where I've ridden at least 10 of their coasters

From one of my favourite parks to one of my least favourites. Day 5: Walygator Grand Est #319 Monster is a relocated inverted coaster from Japan, and what I believe is the largest roller coaster that's ever been relocated. Starting life at Expoland, it was closed with the park in 2007 after a...
