I think 2 hours one way is close to the maximum most people will tend to venture for a day out, that does capture a significant portion of the country as you mentioned. Towers has an additional confounding factor though, which is that it's the only theme park resort in the UK that can reasonably...

You make a good point about the quality of European theme parks, I visited Efteling earlier this year and was blown away by how beautiful it was. Before I was an enthusiast I had no idea that Europa Park, Efteling or Phantasialand even existed, but I definitely knew about DLP. I don't know how...

With IPs it's entirely about a person's relationship with the IP as well as the strength of the park's execution. Even though I don't really like the sequel trilogy of Star Wars movies, I am a huge fan of Star Wars and Galaxy's Edge gets enough right that I loved it. Rise of the Resistance is...

Wicker Man for me, though I need to ride more woodies, I'm going to be riding Joris en de Draak in a few weeks so perhaps that will dethrone it. I had a surprisingly good time on the Grand National in Blackpool last weekend, the problem is I also had rides that shaved an inch of height off me...

I was also at the Blackpool Bash and talked to the guy, he did 10 on Saturday and then 10 on Sunday after the ERS. Even with him padding the numbers it seemed like they were dispatching a lot of trains with it empty, hopefully they'll bring the price down soon. Personally I'd consider paying for...

I rode Enso yesterday and it was really quite excellent, I sat by myself on the right hand side, got a lot of spins - particularly on the junior immelmann after the second launch. My friend rode it immediately after me and it didn't spin as much for him, so it's clearly quite variable looking at...

As a stat though it's really about what you want to track, for some people it's just about making the number bigger, for me it's primarily new coaster experiences in terms of the layout, which is why I don't count clones. I also normally don't do kiddy creds, although I did Flying Fish to make...

I don't count clones, so assuming the layout is close enough to identical you could argue that this new Nemesis is a clone of the original, which is why I won't count it. If you do count clones then I think it's fair to count it as a new one.

Magic Kingdom is definitively the most stressful park I've been to, moving around was an exercise in frustration. I think part of the difficulty might have been that it had been something I'd wanted to do since I was a child, sky high expectations and it didn't quite meet them. I think...

Did you ride with both seats occupied or with just you? I heard you get a lot more spin if you ride it solo, you lose the fun shared experience element though. If demand isn't what they were expecting hopefully they'll reduce the price.

I'm somewhere between C & D, I made Flying Fish my 39th so that Icon could be my 40th because for some reason that pleases me.

When I went to Florida I sadly didn't have enough time to go to Universal so I voted for Hollywood Studios despite not having the full picture because I thought it deserved some love. Rise of the Resistance is an absolutely incredible attraction and even though I may not be much of a fan of the...

The POV doesn't look like it gets close to RTH/Time Traveller level thrills, but I'll nevertheless be having a go when I'm at BPB next month.

I noticed the back of the seats look a little different, I'm finding it hard to get good pictures of them as most pictures are understandably from the front. As I recall Nemesis has more of a boxy frame behind the seat whereas Inferno doesn't. Edit: I looked at some POVs, the difference is...

That's a bummer, but much better than having no Nemesis at all. 😁

Do you think they would be pretty much identical or more like the ones on Nemesis Inferno? I ask because there are a few aesthetic differences between them at the very least - and my experience has been that I consistently need a big person seat on Inferno but don't with Nemesis. I'd really love...

I'm relatively new to being an enthusiast, with only 36 credits to my name - although 12 of those have been in 2021. United Kingdom (Couldn't quite manage 10 that I'm going to actively seek out) 1. Icon 2. Megafobia 3. Speed: No Limits 4. Mumbo Jumbo 5. Storm Chaser 6. Kumali 7. Shockwave 8...
