    The Smiler - General Discussion

    Could it not just be straightened out (minus avoiding supports etc) into long sections with 180 degree turns at each end instead of wrapping around itself and meandering? Maybe try and reduce the amount of time it spend under the track so it didn't have to be covered? Would still be grim but at...

    The Smiler - General Discussion

    Yes it absolutely was designed to be deliberately horrible to match the story Problem with that is, thematically appropriately horrible is still horrible. It's like they forgot actual people were meant to use the queue and feels like a satirical park someone makes on planco

    The Smiler - General Discussion

    Actually had some of the smoothest, most pleasant rides on it I can remember this season just gone even though my first ride back in March gave me a bad neck for days after. At fireworks it was like Blue Fire lol. I think the track is just going to be Like That forever now until it goes but the...

    Nemesis or Nemesis Reborn, which do you prefer?

    I don't feel strongly either way about the Phalanx takeover of the area as a concept for it, it is what it is. My main complaints are how inconsistent they are with the tone, and the peripheral bits. Like, they're meant to be a big powerful organisation, but they're also quite bungling and...

    European Coaster Poll 2024 (RESULTS)

    Round 6 is open! There's a few rounds still to go before the knockouts, but so far the new format seems to be succeeding, there's been a few unexpected results and it's all to play for for most coasters https://forms.gle/eiXeNfwq5Vyx1SGc6

    The "Look What I Made!" Topic.

    Off the back of my London rail map I've done one for Merseyrail. Actually done two versions, one that's straighter and one that's curvier. Both versions are future-proofed for planned/proposed extensions to the network. Would be interested to know which people prefer/find easier to use...

    TST Film Review Thread

    Saw the film about the supernatural, sex obsessed little freak who's been an icon of the British cultural consciousness for a long time, and loved it. I'm talking of course about Better Man. Nosferatu was amazing as well.

    [2026]Bluey Coaster in CBeebies Land

    We might not be the target audience directly but lots of us have kids, will have kids, have friends and family who have kids. It's fine for us as people who know what else is out there in this corner of the market and want better than what this looks like it might be as well as consider the...

    [2025] Toxicator: New Forbidden Valley Suspended Top Spin

    I'm fairly agnostic on the Nemesis Extended Universe stuff with Phalanx but this is obviously a more developed theme than the original had (rusted old cutting contraption that also 'detoxed' you, for some reason) so is that not a good thing?

    Would you ever visit a theme park alone?

    If Towers' gardens and ruins weren't in the state they're in I'd go alone for a wander, but I don't think I'd enjoy any park on my own for the rides. Won't say I wouldn't do it if say, I was away somewhere for work or something and it was my only chance to go to a nearby park, but it isn't...

    It's actually a sign of a real sports bar abroad if nobody there can work the tv to get it to show the match the customers all want to see.
