    20th Anniversary CF Live - THORPE PARK - 16th April 2023

    Apologies for the double post. But just wanted to clarify the meeting point is here: Near the toilets outside the main park entrance at 9:30am I will be wearing my most garish Fury 325 shirt so you can all easily spot me! Don't forget to allow time to get through security beforehand...

    Most rides you've ever had on one attraction in a day?

    Ah, our ERT was in the evening. It was during October so we got an hour of Taron night rides! 😍

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    😥😥 😭😭😭 😭😭😭💔💔💔 Thank you for the in depth review @Trooper Looper - ngl, it's really sad to hear they've removed all my favourite parts of the ride. I absolutely loved both The Haunted House and Dual, interested (read: nervous) to see how The Curse will compare to the previous iterations.

    Most rides you've ever had on one attraction in a day?

    Taron ERT for hotel guests at Phantasialand during the CF Live. I did 15 laps then, and also rode it twice during the day for a grand total of 17. There's not many coasters I can lap over and over again, but Taron is definitely the one. Also had ERT on Twister at Grona Lund a few years ago and...

    Hornets, heatwaves and Hooters- 10 days in the US

    I really hope Dollywood put a sign out by Lightning Rod that read: 'Bear with us, we are fixing the problem'

    Hornets, heatwaves and Hooters- 10 days in the US

    Gaitlinburg and Dollywood Readers! Get those hiking boots on, cos this ones a rambler. (To cut straight to Dollywood, scroll about 12 paragraphs down) After our sweaty time at Six Flags Over Georgia, we had a day off from theme parks. Prior to this, we had made a little agreement. As I was...

    Parque Warner Madrid | Gotham City Escape | Intamin Launch Coaster | 2023

    I realise it's all subjective, but in my experience, Kondaa and VelociCoaster are both more intense than Taiga and Taron. The first airtime hill on Kondaa is one of the most forceful moments of ejector I've experienced. The final inversion on VelociCoaster has a real kick to it, not to mention...

    The best drop towers in world

    I am a fairly recent convert to drop towers. Used to be too terrified to ride them, but @Slamming Coastercore 's enthusiasm for a drop tower is infectious. Now I find them scary but enjoyable, and have ridden many on my own! I haven't included ToT or Mystery Castle here. I adore both of those...

    Your most disproportionately long wait for a ride?

    4 hours for Wicker Man on the Saturday after it had opened (it kept going down) 4 hours for The Smiler on a bank holiday Monday the year it opened (it kept going down) 3.5 hours for Saw The Ride on opening day, which also happened to be a Saturday. (it kept going down) There's a few themes...

    Duel at Alton Towers closing on 6th September - retheme or refurbishment for 2023?

    Personally, I think the ride name is too long. "Hey, shall we go ride The Curse at Alton Manor?" or "do you want to go on The Curse at Alton Manor?" feels clunky to say. Can't imagine anyone using its full name in that context. A short, one-word title is always better for a ride imo. I wonder...

    CWOA | Mandrill Mayhem (World of Jumanji) | B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    I'm just glad to see them lay the track down.

    Thorpe Park | Hyperia | Mack Hyper Coaster | 2024

    I think it's going to be themed to a sea monster, to tie-in with its close proximity to the water. Specifically hoping for Cthulhu 🤞

    CF Lives 2023... and beyond

    Just to clarify, as the person running the Thorpe Park Live: I will 100% be there at the Thorpe Park Live, with bells, whistles, raffle tickets, sweets, games, post-its, maybe even...the Kazzoo! I've run many CF Lives (Poland , GF Netherlands, Thorpe Park, Chessington, Skegness, Walibi Holland...

    CF Lives 2023... and beyond

    I think an accesible, familiar UK park lends itself perfectly to the CF Live setting, if we are viewing Lives as social event. In fact, I picked Thorpe Park for these specific social reasons: - Easily accessible via public transport making it easier to attend - A small park so we can take a...

    What makes your #1 better than your #2?

    It's very very close between my number one (Zadra) and my number two (Intimidator 305). So close that I often wonder if I have them in the wrong order! Zadra is just perfection. Everything it does it does so well. It's not often you ride a coaster where both the airtime and the inversions are...
