I had a few motivations for wanting to be at Hyperia's opening day: I generally want to be at more events where there are lots of enthusiasts as I would like to become a familiar face in the scene and make some friends. I'd like to be able to attend an enthusiast event by myself and there be a...

I do agree with this, I had to consciously de-hype myself before riding and I think that might be why I'm now one of the people who might end up overhyping it for others (sorry) because of how much I enjoyed it relative to my expectations. We all know there are a lot of variables affecting how...

Yeah of course, the list in my signature goes from 1 to 10, so 1 and 2 are Zadra and Hyperion. If I was to assign tiers to the list I'd probably go for this: S Tier - Zadra, Hyperion, Hyperia, Ride to Happiness A Tier - Nemesis, Helix, Kondaa, Balder B Tier - Icon (Enso), The Swarm

Obviously it's super disappointing that the ride has had to close - and I really feel for people who travelled and had hoped for multiple days of getting to ride this beast. I especially feel for the people who haven't gotten to ride it at all yet, I hope their time will come soon. I got to...

This is really good to hear from my perspective as well, I can be a bit socially awkward with introductions so ice breakers are a bit of a life saver!

I'm sure he's very angry to have his art spoiled like this.

Probably Hyperion, I was early enough in my enthusiast journey that I hadn't experienced so much airtime on a ride that tall and that intense. I think now it wouldn't have that effect, but it was quite something the first few times. 😁 Sometimes I think those BS TikTok's where people say their...

I've been in a number of those coffee shops over the years and I'll be honest I just don't see the similarity. If you painted it all black it would look a bit like Boxpark I guess.

I'm going to do my best to make it! I've never done a CF Live, looking forward to it. 😁

During my few years as an enthusiast one of the most common criticisms I hear of a coaster is "it has a rattle", I'll often hear this about coasters I didn't notice a rattle on, or if I did, not enough to bother me. This got me wondering how much it bothers enthusiasts as a whole, so here's a 5...

Indeed, the mud actually looks a bit gold in those. 😁

I have a 3D printer, I mostly use it for printing parts for non-coaster side projects. Where do you get your models from?

If I were to pick a "zero coaster" it would be Nemesis, I know why I like Nemesis though. It's got those classic B&M Invert positives and it throws you around while still being a comfortable ride. It's my zero coaster because I remember being too short to ride it back in 1994 and looking in awe...

I'm early enough in my enthusiast journey that I tend to rely on polls of enthusiasts to determine my trip decisions, so arguably anything in that top 100 I haven't ridden is my bucket list. Generally if a trip is affordable and also has 1 or more coasters in the top 100 in it, I am up for it...

This year is probably going to be a big one, I currently have 79 creds, but I suspect my top 10 will look something like this by the end of the year (new creds in bold). 1. Iron Gwazi 2. VelociCoaster 3. Zadra 4. Hyperion 5. Ride to Happiness 6. Hyperia 7. Mako 8. Kondaa 9. Nemesis 10. Montu...

I think the new logo inspires no passion, but the previous one was worse. There is an advantage to it being relatively basic, which is that it can be added to a diverse array of designs very easily. Some of the posters and example merch that I've seen look much better with the new logo than they...

I'm planning on visiting Parc Asterix soon and I have some questions about the restraints that I'm hoping someone here might be able to answer! 1. Do they have seats for larger riders, like on Nemesis Inferno rows 4/5? 2. How do the restraints compare to Nemesis Inferno? Are they roomier or...

I would consider myself a fairly casual counter, I visited Energylandia and didn't bother with a lot of the coasters, preferring to focus on the big hitters. But some part of my brain likes to make an arbitrary goal out of things that I like and I think that's fine. I think the number I care...

I definitely make a lot of noise when riding, although mostly it's joyful. The hangtime on the drop on the Swarm though? Gets me scared every time. I don't even know why.

One that I haven't seen mentioned is Joris en de Draak, these aren't generally considered top tier rides, but given what I had heard I was expecting better than Wicker Man and found them to have a few too many dead spots compared to it.
