    Why do enthusiasts suddenly love an attraction once it's closure was announced?

    Did the opinions shift though? Re: Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, I enjoyed it, but didn't rate it highly. It was never at the forefront of my mind, and I'd have no reason to mention it unless... ...it were to close down. I will generally feel a bit sad about the demise of most coasters I've...

    What’s behind the recent rise in “rattle” criticism on new rides?

    As a counter to that, Nemesis original didn't have it, but Nemesis Reborn is like being on a vibrating massage chair made of metal. Nemesis Inferno is still butter smooth with no rattle and it's 21 years old.

    What’s behind the recent rise in “rattle” criticism on new rides?

    I think i first became overtly aware of the B&M rattle this year. I rode Nemesis in 2021 and Nemesis Reborn in 2024. Because they are the same layout, there was a direct comparison. Reborn had a terrible rattle, to the extent that I'd have sworn that Reborn was the older ride of the two! I...

    I've seen far more ridiculous suggestions on here which were meant with the utmost seriousness! It's hard to tell on the Internet.

    Project Exodus at Thorpe Park; Current Layout (Mack) or Alternative Layout (Likely B&M)?

    I've ridden only one B&M hyper (Silver Star) and for a ride that big it's mystifyingly 'just ok'. Hyperia on the other hand is completely unique and felt fantastic. Ignoting the corners cut, which they would have done with any manufacturer or model, I am 100% happy they went with what they did.

    Worst coasters you've ridden (Bottom 5/10)

    No particular order: 1. Temple of the Nighthawk - Phantasialand This ride was so nauseating. It just endlessly meanders, and when I ride it the building was super hot with no air flow. I felt ghastly afterwards. 2. Manta - Sea World Orlando That pretzel loop felt horrible on my head and did...
