Woohoo! Great news :D

I'll be there, may pop off for a while to do tott though, as this may well be my only visit to scarefest!

Will be there on the Saturday :)

After epic summer travels my list has somewhat changed, so here is the current version; 1. El Toro - Wow, just wow! That one hill especially! Drop is great too, in fact it all is! 2. Maverick - Quick transitions, overbanks, launch, airtime, this coaster has it all. 3. Skyrush - Never have...

No Raptor Astro? :( John, I didn't realise you ranked Green Lantern so highly! Also, it's a pity I didn't get your "OK, better than Nemesis" quote on video whilst sat on Raptor's brake run :P

The captain is such a photo whore! :D Great review so far, look forward to reading the rest :)

Re: Hull Fair - Saturday 12th October Of course! :)

Re: Hull Fair - Saturday 12th October Depends on work, but if I'm off, I'm up for it! Much prefer Hull to Goose, and it's been a few years since I last went :)

Great reports, have really enjoyed reading them! Plus they are of even more interest as I have plans to visit these parks, aside from Bon Bon, next year :)

Spoke to Ian about this last week and am definitely interested, need to find out what's happening at work though. Definitely Maybe :)

Re: The Smiler Opening Day Meet PART ONE - Thursday 23rd May Miraculously falls on my day off, I'll be there :)

Re: Europa-Park 2013: Trip Planning, Questions and Advice! Indeed, would love to go to Oktoberfest one year! Despite the name, it always ends on the first Sunday in Oct so mainly takes place in September :)

Guess this is the best place for me to put my thoughts too, although I mainly agree with what Jon has written, so in summary; The hotel looked great from the outside but the room interiors were a little bland. Perfectly acceptable and clean though, along the lines of your average Ibis and there...

Went on that exact one in 2011 with Alex! DanB and Ant had hyped it up to be the most intense, horrible thing ever, but it really wasn't that bad :) Definitely the sort of thing you'd enjoy!

I've never been either, even though it is really quite easy for me to get to. This is mainly due to the fact that I've heard how rarely JO opens. I am determined to get there this year, maybe as a last minute thing when the weather forecast is good. Fancy trying again in the summer sometime...

I also rode one at Hull Fair, in 2010, never again now I have the credit :P

Whoops, thought I'd already posted in here but guess not. As you know Ian, I am definitely up for a day at the races, not so fussed about Alton though :P Will book the day off work when things are more certain :)

As much as I'd love LWV to get Knightmare, I think Test Strecke could actually be a better bet for them. It was all fully refurbished in 2009 when it hit the travelling circuit, so shouldn't require a lot of work, and it would give LWV their first inversions, something they could use to market...

It seems Test Strecke, formerly Laser at Dorney Park, is up for sale! Who's up for chipping a few quid together to buy this classic Schwarzy? :) http://www.guenter-engelhardt.de/entertainment/en/sale/second-hand-looping-coaster-schwarzkopf-germany.php

Can't even begin to fathom what this would be like. Batman is the most intense coaster I've been on, as in continuously intense. Must admit though, I'm quite intrigued to try it :) Just not too sure I'd enjoy it all that much.
