    ^ Addendum: the two people featured in the presentation and Q&A are layout designers for Mack Rides. Stephen (aka Lenny) designed layouts for Ride to Happiness, Voltron, Beyond the Cloud & the second half of Icon. Maurice designed the layout for Hyperia.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    Shortened answers in the Q&A: "would you be able to put a spinny seat on hyperia" -we think it's doable but not sure. it has to verify clearance and make sure it stays within appropriate forces. backwards seats definitely "what is your favourite mack produkt" -ride to happiness, hyperia...

    What is your favourite coaster that you’ve only ridden once?

    #1 Anubis - The Ride - Plopsaland De Panne (#36 overall) #2 Fury - Bobbejaanland (#37 overall) #3 Goudurix - Parc Asterix (#41 overall) #4 Troy - Toverland (#44 overall) #5 Pulsar - Walibi Belgium (#45 overall) For me I think it definitely shows that I only got one ride on each of these. I...

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    There is absolutely no reason to ever join main queue (unless you are absolutely insistent on riding with somebody). Main queue is HORRIBLE and always longer than SRQ and is generally a really dreadful queuing experience. Approximate waiting times for SRQ on 2 train operations and quick...

    Which bottom/middle tier manufacturer could make the jump to being a fan favourite in 10 years?

    I think ART Engineering and Zierer have pretty huge potential in the future. I haven't heard terribly favourable reviews from Zierer's looping coasters, but they make fantastic family/family thrill coasters so if only they could do something larger with the same quality.

    Your Least Common Opinion?

    A new one - I have absolutely zero concern regarding the future of Falcon's Flight at Six Flags Qiddiya. I see multiple concerns regarding that the ride won't live for very long and will sit SBNO indefinitely after a single-figure amount of years operating. I'm not sure why people are so...

    WTF Merlin?

    At an enthusiast event, apparently Thorpe Park ran just one train on Hyperia yesterday and closed the queue after only 38 minutes of operation (a full hour of ERT was advertised). Almost everyone in the event got only one ride in as a result. It's commonly being stated that Thorpe Park charges...

    Fenix at Toverland (#290) - I was told this was a strong albeit shorter wing coaster, but unfortunately a consistent bounce throughout the entire layout made me not like this coaster as much as I wanted to. read more Meanwhile, Troy (#291) didn't do much to help either, with a middle row ride...

    UK General Election 4th July 2024

    Just voted libdems. Labour lost me when they said one thing: "we are on the side of drivers". I knew I couldn't vote for them when they said that. I don't drive. For me, that's basically them saying "we are not on your side, we do not care about you". Why not aim to be inclusive towards everyone?

    Worst coasters you've ridden (Bottom 5/10)

    Blizzard (owned by Monty Hammond) - bad in ALL regards Cyclone (Barry Island) - rough, boring, and brakes are attempts on your life Kopermijn (Drievliet) - extremely uncomfortable and brakes are attempts on your life The Walking Dead (Thorpe Park) - more of a personal thing, mostly being an...

    United Kredding - Part 51: When the walk to the park is better than the park itself

    Uhhhh.... Part 50: Legoland Windsor & Thorpe Park I have... a lot to say about Minifigure Speedway, and it's unfortunate to see Merlin continuing to open rides in an unfinished state - Nemesis Reborn, Hyperia, apparently Damonen Gruft didn't fare too well in that aspect either, and World of...

    SeaWorld Orlando | Penguin Trek | B&M Family Launch Coaster | 2024

    Honestly looks tame even by family coaster standards, but I guess Ice Breaker's random unprecedented intensity must've scared them off so they decided to play safe. Fair enough. Otherwise, looks forgettable at best. If you have a compact layout like this and don't bother theming it, then...

    United Kredding - Part 51: When the walk to the park is better than the park itself

    ^ I felt like I was far too brief in my Stealth and Nemesis Inferno reviews, so I've just made a quick edit to expand quite a lot on what I thought of them. I'll just say not your usual review.
