RIP Ride Rockit, I will always remember your surprisingly good secret song list (How Heavy This Axe by the Sword? Excellent!) and how you came dangerously close to breaking my ribs with your weird restraints. You will not be missed. Although a modern attempt at the concept with a good...

I try not to drink so much these days, but if there is one thing I make an exception for it's Belgian beer!

Hah, 3 years and 99 creds since my last post... I only did a Europe focused list (and did pretty terribly at completing it all things considered), I'll be switching to a global list from now on. Going to avoid listing coasters in the same park as well. Old list: 1. Zadra 2. Untamed 3. Taron 4...

What are people's plans looking like in terms of where they're staying and when they're arriving? I was planning on staying in De Panne and arriving in the evening on the 14th, it would be nice to go for dinner or a drink that evening if people fancy it.

I am 100% coming, my friend is currently a maybe, I will let you know soonish. 😁 Cannot wait!

Glad I got the cred this year, but yeah it was pretty awful, would love an excuse to go back and what an excuse this would be.

I've been every year for the past few years, but I live close enough that travel isn't an issue. This year I may not even ride the coasters, although I may not be able to resist going on Olympia Looping at least once, me and my other half are probably just going to sample the food options. I...

You're so interested in coasters that you have passion without riding that frequently, I don't think getting into a "who is the most enthusiastic" contest should be a thing but for me I renew my interest by riding, you could argue that you're more enthusiastic than I am based on this. It would...

Hopefully this will be fixed (or at least improved) during the off-season, or that's just how it is and everyone's going to bring earplugs or noise cancelling headphones. 😁

That's a lot of rides! I didn't even get past counting on one hand! Do you think there's much difference in intensity when the weather started to get significantly colder in October? I ask because a friend of mine rode during Fright Nights and seemed to think Mako was the more intense ride...

Coaster Count 2023: 79 Coaster Count 2024: 135 Increase: +56 I started the year with a trip to Florida booked for September and a strong desire to make Hyperia my 100th cred on opening day which turned out pretty well! I visited Paultons, Plopsaland, Walibi Belgium and then a final mad dash...

Must be even more fun to be waiting next to the lift hill motor now. 😬

One of the most exciting prospects of this park getting built is that it will give Merlin some actual competition. They've gotten far too comfortable. When it comes to Nintendo properties I'd love a bunch of different ones, Pokemon, Hyrule from Zelda but out of all of them I'd really love a...

I’ll probably try and Eurostar it if I can. If anyone in the general orbit of London can offer a seat in their car I’d happily give them some money instead though. 😁

I imagine most coaster enthusiasts prefer a more active approach to their holidays, this was certainly the case for me. The problems start when that desire to be active means that you take on too much. I've got a classic all-inclusive-hotel-in-a-warm-country holiday in January and honestly I...

I’m at a gig on the 22nd but other than that I’m easy. 😁

This is unfortunate as I imagine there’s a bunch of people in the same boat. It would really suck if they don’t get the attendance boost they’re hoping for and that then means less future investment.

Suck at mornings? Rope drop is overrated. Rope dropping a park is a great way to avoid some queueing, but if you suck at mornings it’s overrated. Getting to the park well rested and not needing 3 coffees makes for a much better day. Plus queues tend to shorten towards the end of the day anyway.

Cost effective, but much less fun. 😁

Starting my campaign to add an LSM launch after the Immelmann.
