    Swarming Up For The Season | THORPE PARK | 31st Mar 2019

    Would be very rude not to? EDIT: Like this post if you want Scarlet to come.

    CF Lives 2019 Announcements [ALL ANNOUNCED]

    I intended to do CP and Kennywood in June but, that might be a bit late for me. I'll try and sync it up! Thorpe Park! Yes. I'll be there. I'll try and convince Scarlet. If anyone would like to promise her they will ride Detonator more than once with her, I may have some leverage?

    Non-goon friends & family's favourite coasters

    Sounds like it's time to leave this one, too.

    "Now Showing"

    I never ever go to the cinema or really watch movies that often really but I went to see the new Dragon Ball movie twice because it's Dragon Ball and DB is life and I wrote a spoilery review if all 3 people who like DB here care, thank you, byeeeee!

    Most Temperamental Coasters

    I used to feel this way about Saw, but I don't ride it often enough now to know. It's been **** the one time I've ridden it every year for... years. Anything with lots of trains/cars probably has a higher risk of varying massively in quality, I'd have thought. I know for sure that coasters I'm...

    Underrated Dark Rides

    I'm another one who actually kinda liked Sub Terra and think that whole fiasco is a shame... It was a stupid idea (as was Derren Brown, more so) to pour that kind of money into a dark ride for an audience that just doesn't care. And it was finished off by budget cuts and I thiiiiink there was...

    Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

    Ridden Wickerman now. Wasn't impressed. I wasn't even that impressed with the theming and what not... It's nice en all, certainly a massive step up, but it's not the spectacle you'd assume from all the hype, I guess? People really seem to dig this thing and I just do not understand why. The...

    WTF Merlin?

    It was pealing off on opening day. I have a photo somewhere. It seems a bit weird to me that it was ever wooden cladding on a metal structure in the first place. Why not just use actual beams? I guess there must be a reason.

    WTF Merlin?

    But wait though - why doesn't Busch Williamsburg have a hotel? I've been saying this for years. Imagine a Merlin-esque themed hotel there, with different wings being themed to the different countries. It would be legitimately awesome. And everything that sucks about Merlin accommodation wouldn't...

    WTF Merlin?

    IF that's true then it's not good enough that they're waiting until things aren't passing inspections. Maybe that's why Nemesis hours were originally so massively reduced.

    Musical goosebumps

    Ok ok, look. Look. Everyone listens to music, so I think if you say you're really into music, that implies you have a more than casual relationship with it. And I think it's frankly insulting to people who are really into music, for whom music is their life, to say you're into it if you're...

    Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

    Oh Renegade... Man, I forget that thing exists. It was good, but I'm just sad it's so out of the way at a dumpy park surrounded by other dumpy parks. I have no desire to ever go back that way. So I forget about it. But yeah, it was good. Operations sucked there too. Eugh, need to go back to...

    Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

    Woodies vary so much more than steel coasters and I think for most of us UK based nerds, we don’t get to ride the same woodie frequently enough to notice? I think the woodie I’ve ridden the most is probably bloody Grizzly at KD... Boulder Dash was lame when I rode it. I’ve only ridden it that...

    Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

    Looking forward to the accurate reviews in a couple months when people stop bumming it. Glad to see that there are some realistic opinions here on CF, though. People really need to learn to hide their “I got to ride it before you so I’m gonna say it’s AWESOME” bs. My twitter feed was cringe. I...

    WTF Merlin?

    A few thoughts on the recent cuts... Loosing baggage holds is a shame. Merlin are the only company in the world who had baggage holds like that, and they work so well. And their inclusion in the actual design layout means they come not from parks retroactively making additions, but planned...

    Another Prototype on the Vekoma Test Site

    I actually love that car shape, looks retro. But it is weird. It would not surprise me at all if this does turn out to be for guardians. The controlled spinning makes sense for a themed coaster with dark ride elements. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Roughest/Worst coaster you've ridden?

    Wait is this only in here to trigger me or is this for real? That's the best coaster in the country mate. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

    Ah, see, having as many inversions as possible isn't like the other gimmicks at all, though. If you asked normal people what would make a good coaster, I bet most people would say "goes upside-down loads". And, beyond that, it's a legitimate gimmick. Having the most inversions, being the...

    Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

    I think as others have alluded to the real problem is departmental disjointedness. Cuz you'd think the process would be thus - we need a new attraction for x target audience, we have y space for it and z budget, from which the team(s) design a thing that meets ALL the criteria. But it seems to...
