Timber Wolf at Worlds of Fun to remain SBNO for the entirety of the 2025 season https://www.worldsoffun.com/rides-experiences/timber-wolf

Here is a list of the: -Tallest -Fastest -Longest -Most inversions -Steepest drop angle -Oldest roller coasters in the world. Whether or not they are operational is out of the question, but I wanted to know... 1. Which of these is your favourite? 2. Which of these do you want to ride the most...

I find that whenever discussion of Hyperia at Thorpe Park pops up, I end up pulling myself into an extensive conversation about how underwhelming the whole thing is - the drop lacked the laterals I wanted, the outerbank was not the world-beating element everyone made it out to be, the stall I...

On my park trips, when I look back, I think to myself that most of the standout moments of my trips are entirely unrelated to parks and end up being the moments that I look back on the most. However, is this actually true? Are the best/worst moments of my trips park related? Let's look at my...

Please read the new information (click me). Time Warp's absence from the Alpenfury animation is not confirmation of its removal as it was also not in the Yukon Striker video. However, the tweet concerning its closure can still be a point of conversation regarding this ride's future. Time Warp...

Spotted on a Discord server recently, allegedly at Stakotra Manufacturing Plant: Main takeaways: -that is Intamin track -there are ARBs visible to the right (lift hill confirmed) -the track on the left has dense cross-ties (likely for a valley that pulls strong positives). I believe this is a...

I don't really have a "bucket list" of rides that I am dead set on getting on - because it changes all the time. There'll be a ride that I initially won't care about in the slightest, then one day it becomes the only coaster I ever want to get on. This happened with a little single-rail launch...

Hi. A call for help here. Recently I've done a few dark rides where I've come off with zero feelings for them: -River Caves -Wallace and Gromit: Thrill-O-Matic -Valhalla -Pirates of the Caribbean -Geister Rikscha -Vliegende Hollander -Fata Morgana -Symbolica -Villa Volta -and literally every...

I've known about Coaster Breaks ever since its conception - a small group of 7 coaster maniacs get driven around parks by a tour guide for a week or so, visiting many places in the process. Being a very "I love public transport!" guy, going on one of these trips sounded fun but was never really...

Immersion is where a theme park builds a ride's world to make you forget that you're at a park. Theme parks, especially Merlin, have hugely tried to immerse its riders into multiple worlds - but while the rides often have impressive theming, they almost always fail to make the rider ask...

I've just come home from five pretty cool days in the Netherlands. As the "day 0" was literally just landing in Eindhoven, having dinner and going to bed, there really isn't much to say about this day so I'm instead going to use this initial post as a "landing zone" with quick links to each day...

This is not in trip planning because I am not personally planning on visiting this year, but a friend of mine is interested and is trying to decide whether or not to go based on what rides would be there. For those who keep track of the Munich Oktoberfest fair, is there a time or date where...

Obligatory "coasters are obviously perfectly safe" but we can't deny the times where we have that "OH ****" feeling during a particular moment of a ride where we genuinely question if we're going to come off in one piece. I've personally had two very standout experiences of this phenomenon. My...

Day 1: Travel Well my new biggest solo trip has been slightly overdue for a while, with the last one being that 2.5 day Denmark trip. I needed to go bigger, and I picked Spain. This originally was meant to be a 5 day trip that involved both Madrid parks & Barcelona parks, but something about it...

Been wanting to go to Phantasialand for four years, and for all of 2023 I had every opportunity in the world to go, but just for some reason had it nearer the bottom of the priority list. For every wacky worm I rode on my quest for United Kompletion, the louder the echos of "GO TO PHANTASIALAND"...

I don't really have any ideas for an introductory paragraph, the title speaks for itself. What is the best park for each manufacturer? Bolliger & Mabillard: I will have to go with SeaWorld Orlando for this one. With Kraken, Manta, Mako, Pipeline and soon-to-be Penguin Trek it's a no brainer...

It took far too long to hit 10 of these things. Ideally, the coaster should go backwards for a significant portion of the layout (to stop stuff like Toutatis dominating when its only backwards bit is a very short swing launch section). What you consider to be 'significant' is up to you but I...

Apocalypse at Drayton Manor used to be branded as "the UK's scariest ride". Apocalypse is now gone. So what takes the crown now? I have 3 ideas... Odyssey at Fantasy Island, The Curse at Alton Manor at Alton Towers, and Aerospace at Barry Island Pleasure Park. What else do you think?

What are two coasters that have the same layout but are on entirely opposite ends of the quality spectrum? I'll start: Mad Mouse at Clarence Pier is an inoffensive Zyklon coaster at worst, but Cyclone at Barry Island Pleasure Park is horrible. Same layout, but one is 'passable' while the other...

My rankings section of my coaster spreadsheet has a short one-liner about each coaster I've done. So I wondered how well it'd translate into a forum game. Post a review of a coaster that you've ridden (could be one or 10 sentences). The next post attempts to guess what ride is being talked...
