I vape, and always ensure I don’t vape in and around non smokers/vapers. I also only have a small thing that is quite unnoticeable. Vaping in enclosed spaces and queues is just plain rude, there is a growing issue with vaping being thrown aside from the usual smoking rules, a lot of pubs in my...

I think it’s basically the same. Bar smoother inversions and the aforementioned rattle issue, it’s very similar to the original in terms of intensity, from the rides I’ve had that is.

If I remember rightly didn’t Wicker Man have some over speeding issues in its early life. Much akin to Nemesis Reborn if so.

It does, I think it’s around 9am for the gates and rides are supposed to open at 10 am but currently it seems they are struggling with that one 😂

To reiterate this point, don’t put all your eggs in one basket early on and get let down by a late opening of a coaster. If I’m on the park early enough I like to wander about the gardens before anybody else, it’s so tranquil. From there I can make my way to whatever is open in the valley or...

I recall a great time I had riding portaventura’s rapids solo with a group of Spanish guys, the only common knowledge we had was football. And obviously they’d heard of the famous Leicester City.

I tend to visit solo most the time. I kind of prefer it sometimes! You’ll love taking the day at your own pace and riding whatever you want when you want. I also found out I enjoy taking in the ambience and people watching a lot more when I’m on a solo visit. I had some of my best ever solo...

Alton Towers are a pretty good park for smooth ride experiences, there’s only 2 or 3 you could maybe pick out. The Smiler has a vibration on the train and there are jolts here and there, Rita is let down by it’s restraints and Wicker Man is a woodie so some shake rattle and roll is to be...

I posted a while back about just this thing. Some more modern ones seem to have a rattle in the UK, Mandrill Mayhem and now Nemesis for example. Heard reports saying Pipeline surf coaster in the US has a rattle too

Bit of mess at times today from my experience. Queued 70 mins for Nemesis for it go down and then be evacuated out the queue, would have been nice to have more transparency from the staff as it was a farce. Then we decided to go to wickerman, got on the coaster and then proceeded to be stuck on...

some people have a lot of time on their hands

Bringing back the live entertainment would be a great next step in my opinion. There are plenty of food options surrounding the courtyard, albeit none of them being high quality in my eyes. I would love to see a BBQ at some point but I think the return of the show in that area is really needed now.

Never found shockwave rough like some. Always felt it fell into a similar category as Ex Nemesis, its inversions were whippy and taken at speed with old trains. I understand if you hadn’t ridden it often and didn’t know how to avoid any head banging, also I know people who were shorter used to...

I had both my rides in Train 1, so maybe that has something to do with my experience. And it was only being half loaded. I’ll see tomorrow what it’s like with a full train. I still absolutely loved it, nonetheless.

I will echo the concern for the rattle it has. I’ve had two rides now, both on outer seats and it’s rather noticeable, but for the average rider? I doubt they’ll pick up on it too much. Seems like they are just ironing out a few issues. But interestingly it does seem to be a bit of a trend for...

Wickerman was being ran very well despite being on 2 trains and Nemesis went up to two trains by 12, so it made the queue a lot more manageable, was awful waiting in it until they added that second train. Oblivion was a bit of a farce today, fancied a re ride but sitting on that brake run again...

Some red tubing has been added too the R-Cade building

Disagree, that final turn feels a little more laboured but that’s maybe because it rattles in that section a little. It takes all the main elements with good speed, not dissimilar to its old self. But that’s only my experience after one ride so who knows.

Just had my first ride on Nemesis Reborn, and it’s basically as Nemesis as Nemesis ever was despite one thing… it has a rattle. It also went down for 20-30 minutes to add the second train. However both trains were only loading the first 4 rows, so seems like it’s not just a train issue maybe...

I’m in the queue and indeed it is. Snails pace I’m right near the back too 😂
