    European Coaster Poll 2024 (RESULTS)

    I will post the table after round 3 at the Christmas break, but I'm still undecided about whether to keep posting it after that or keep it secret until the end of the group stage, or go for the dramatic option of revealing it for the final round. Happy to hear people's thoughts on that

    European Coaster Poll 2024 (RESULTS)

    There had to be some tough decisions made to get down to 32 entries, some personal favourites and cult classics had to go, but Khan has often done well in past runnings and it's hard to justify leaving out a massive B&M sit-down no matter how it has aged. Even with the plan to extend the entry...

    European Coaster Poll 2024 (RESULTS)

    It's back! It's been a few years but the (no longer particularly) traditional closed season European coaster poll is returning. And like another high profile pan-European competition, this year we've had a big revamp. Some rules are staying the same, so there's no entries from Alton Towers, and...

    Live music, gigs, and concerts discussion.

    Saw Geordie Greep at East Village Arts Club last month, and Magdalena Bay at Manchester Academy last week. Was never on the Black Midi train and had only really half-heard Greep's new prog rock / jazz fusion / latino / incel satire concept album but went along anyway, and glad I did. Virtuoso...

    Football Discussion

    Stuck around long enough to make sure Jenas couldn't get the gig 🫡 Fear that no matter who gets the MOTD spot, the subsequent reshuffling means it's inevitable that in one place or another across BBC Sport there's going to be an increased amount of Darren 'Fletch' Fletcher

    We got caught doing it, so they made two groups of two on separate rows move together and made us fill the now empty row 😭

    Planet Coaster 2: General Discussion

    What's roughly the scale for the empty building space? I know on PC1 people were able to build full on resorts with multiple parks so I'm assuming it's at least the same size map? Do people have particular approaches when planning and building a park with an end layout in mind to make sure it's...

    Monorail Refurbishment

    Noticed when I arrived there was no queue for the monorail and everyone was walking to either entrance. Never seen that before. I think a lot of people are aware now and aren't bothering with it. Which sadly is likely what Towers want

    Fireworks 2024

    Definitely the best show of the ones I've been to. The story was fantastic campy fun and the fireworks, lasers, lights and music were all really well done. Noticed how they just skipped over Sub Terra in the 'looking back' bit lol

    Fireworks 2024

    I don't believe that for a second but i really hope it ends with a graphic on the screen saying "coming 2025" but with the 5 scribbled out and a 6 written over it
