Objectively, Hyperia is the best coaster in the UK. In terms of sensations the ride delivers, it's the closest thing we have to an RMC here. It's also the most wild and forceful Mack I've ever ridden. I like it a lot. It's modern, unique and very re-rideable - with an absolute demon of a first...

Hi Nicole! I attended my first Live on my own many many years ago, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We hope to see you there :) I will be running this Live and always make a special effort to make sure everyone feels involved, welcome and theres plenty of ice breakers so people can...

I think with that strategy you will be fine. Demon Slayer gets very long queues though! One of the reasons I only got on 5 rides was because there were hardly any rides in the park open, and none of the 5 rides I rode were worth re-riding imo. Especially with the long queues. Glad to hear you...

They did have single rider, but the queue times for single rider were advertised as the same as the main line and were spilling out the gate. Yep, Backdrop is still a thing. Didn't do it, I hate going backwards! I wonder how different my day would have felt had the Jurassic Park rides been...

I've always felt Disney parks expect too much of their guests. There's so much homework involved in visiting Disney: learning about Genie Plus, Lightning Lane, when to arrive at the park early, knowing where to go and what to do. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's Disney visits that inspired the...

100% agree with this. In my opinion, all the marketing needs to focus on is: Tallest and Fastest Coaster in the UK. That's the sell. That's what's exciting. And no one else in the UK can make this claim. I'm really surprised Thorpe haven't milked this more tbh. The sudden reveal of a (kinda...

With Black Mirror next door now closed, could we be looking at a bigger site for Skybound than just the Slammer site? If so, I'm predicting a Flying Theatre. Fills the family-friendly ride gap at Thorpe, fits the flying theme of Hyperia, high capacity, suits the name Skybound. They can even...

I think the best moment of airtime could be dropping out of the top of the Immelmann, the train has a lot of speed there and the drop out is steep. The dive loop stall looked a bit slow too, but I would expect that of a stall!

Ran down to Thorpe in the rain on my lunch break and managed to catch the first train test! Absolutely buzzing, there was a great atmosphere in the park. Delighted to confirm it looks anything but slow in person, apart from on the outwards banked turn into the inversion. That part looked like...

It's time to say hi to Hyperia and give it a big CF welcome as the new Tallest and Fastest Coaster in the UK. Day: Sunday 29 September 2024 Meet up time: 9.15-9.30 AM Meet up place: Outside the toilets on the left of the entrance turnstiles (Please allow plenty of time to get through...

I've only been lucky enough to get the front row on Red Force once, but we didn't have Express Pass at Ferrari Land. The staff are usually very strict about allocating rows and wouldn't allow me to wait an extra train for the front.

Having ridden Red Force this weekend, I am firmly in the Stealth supremacy camp on this one. Stealth is much punchier and gives me a bigger adrenaline rush. The launch on Stealth has so much more kick to it, plus the airtime hill gives a great pop. Red Force is a superb night ride with...

Dont be concerned @Matt N - Mako is awesome! A very worthy Number 1 coaster. I've ridden Silver Star, Candymonium, Behemoth, Shambhala, Intimidator, Apollo's Chariot, Diamondback and Nitro; and for me personally, Mako easily takes the crown of the B+M hypers. It is a world class coaster, more...

Can't wait to hear what you think of Busch Gardens Tampa and Iron Gwazi @Matt N Great reports so far, hope you and your family are having a fantastic time!

When I first got into the hobby, cred counting felt like a big part of it. It also felt like a social thing - I was way more inclined to ride kiddie creds when there was a group of people on a CF Live to laugh on a Big Apple with. It gave the smaller park days structure and purpose. It felt like...

It's also worth noting that Thorpe Park is a fairly small park, so you won't spend a long time walking between rides. I go frequently and have never, ever needed to buy fast track, even on busy days. The trick is to arrive early before it opens and get on lots of rides first thing in the morning...

Hello, welcome to CoasterForce! Accommodation-wise, there's a Travelodge in Two Rivers in Staines. It's a short walk from Staines train station, where you will be able to get a shuttle bus to and from Thorpe Park. Two Rivers is a nice entertainment complex with food and a cinema, so you will...

Well, I certainly have the post-Live glow ❤️ Thank you very much to everyone who came along to Thorpe. What a fantastic day! Nice weather, minimal crowds, short queues...couldn't have asked for better Live conditions. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces and meet some new people too...
