Time to lock in and finish this off. Day 8: Parc Saint Paul #333 Aérotrain is what convinced me that these types of junior coasters also classify as kiddie coasters instead of family coasters. It was an oddly slow version of the classic roller skater that really didn't achieve all that much...

Something that kills me about the Spike is that it's a really cool angle on coaster design. It allows for all 3 axes of freedom at all times, you can accelerate and decelerate whenever you want, it completely ignores all physics limitations which means you can literally make the track do...

Day 7: Parc Astérix Haven't been here in a decade - let's see what changed. #329 Toutatis was the first ride of the day - despite being at the front of the park it was a wise decision to rope-drop it. The ride is an interesting specimen being an 'unconnected' multi-launch layout where the...

Thank you for all the responses everyone! Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you lot but finally here. @Matt N I definitely think language barriers are a large cause to the problem, especially if a lot of the story is told through voice (such as madhouses). Although sometimes the tone of...

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 apologise for bringing this thread back up with a non-update, but has literally anything happened with this ride - land clearing, planning permissions, teasing? I suspect more would happen in the off season when it comes around but surely there would be some groundwork starting up by now if...

Day 6: Nigloland We parked, I forgot where we parked, and set off. #323 Descente en Schlitt' is a pleasantly smooth wild mouse and was pretty decent for what it was. The brakes didn't try to kill me, the corners were manageable, the hills were fun. Noice. I forgot most of what happened with...

I rode my 50th Vekoma on my most recent park trip, so may as well post here: all of my manufacturers where I've ridden at least 10 of their coasters

From one of my favourite parks to one of my least favourites. Day 5: Walygator Grand Est #319 Monster is a relocated inverted coaster from Japan, and what I believe is the largest roller coaster that's ever been relocated. Starting life at Expoland, it was closed with the park in 2007 after a...

That having a low credit count is actually one of the highlights of being an enthusiast. I see people with under 100 credits thinking to themselves "I wish I had as many coasters ridden as you guys" but they always seem to miss the fact that when your credit count is "low", then that means...

The decision is being made not to go forwards with the Rulantica trip report - apologies. However, if you have any burning questions (such as my favourite slides or how the park works or what happens in Rulantica) then feel free to ask stuff and I'll answer to the best of my ability. Day 4...

I agree there - the Mako hills look extremely promising, I've actually forgotten just how much SiSta straightens out which is definitely a big contributor to my issue. Mako looks to rectify that issue perfectly, and suddenly I have a lot more excitement for it! Yeah, I did neglect to mention...

There was a full second day (report to come) where we stayed from open to close, and we did eventually get everything on the to-do list (including the silly dark rides) with about three or four hours to spare for rerides. During this time for rerides I was able to enjoy the park far more and...

Day 3: Europa Park and Rulantica Part 1: Europa Park I've heard excellent things about Voltron, let's figure out what we're doing then. Obviously it was the first ride we went to. Located in the new Croatia themed area, #305 Voltron Nevera is about Nikola Tesla, Mr. John Electricity himself...

Nid des Marsupilamis at Parc Spirou Province is for sale. https://www.schausteller.de/anzeigenmarkt/achterbahn-25-meter-hoch-der-eyecatcher-fuer-jeden-freizeitpark-255893.html The photo shows Wilde Hilde but the opening date & height matches that of Nid.

Thorpe Park. The general consensus with me is to visit at least three times a year (in order to pay off the annual pass). I almost didn't renew at at all for 2023, but I ended up going for it and barely paid off the AP. 2019: at least 4 visits 2020: at least 2 visits 2021: 3 visits 2022: 3...

Day 2: Erlebnispark Tripsdrill It's going to be weird having no travel notes - all of our drives have been "it went smoothly, we drove from A to B in relatively quick time with no issues". So with nothing to say on that behalf, may as well get straight into the meat of the day. Today was a big...
