    When were you last scared on a ride ?

    Another vote for trap door slides. First one I done was at SeaWorld Aquatica and the act of transfering your weight from the platform to the trapdoor took longer than I had anticipated. Even had the 20 year old operator give it a "You Alright, mate". Love them now though. Summit Plummet is...

    What's your current coaster count?

    I'm at 99. Front row on Taron next Tuesday for 100 is my plan (unless it breaks down etc and then F.L.Y. will have to do). I've actually been on more than 99 but if I cant nail it down specifically on Coaster-Count then I don't count it. For example I rode 4/5 coasters at Winter Wonderland...

    50 European Coasters

    Thought this may be an interesting topic. My wife recently received a "50 Scottish Gins" scratch-off poster as a gift. It got me thinking of how I'd love a rollercoaster one. What coasters do we all think should be included on a 50 European Coasters scratch off? Rules are 1 coaster per park...

    The Retrosquad: General Discussion

    No issues with this at all. Look at Toadstool (or the versions before it). Remove the tacky arcade from Dark Forrest, put a Waltzer base into that building and run it in the dark, with wraiths hanging from the roof and some green spotlights. Even minimal theming can make a huge difference.

    Flamingo Land: General Discussion

    It's on their website but hidden away a bit. If you click on 'buy tickets' it tells you on there.

    Flamingo Land: General Discussion

    It looks like FL is getting ready to open most of its offerings for 22nd. Anyone know the best place to buy tickets? I'll be in the area in July.

    2021: General Discussion

    I'll wonder if they'll be any attempt to theme them, or if they'll just be dumped as they are. I expect they'll go with a dodgems as Chessington and Thorpe's are reasonably popular. I hope this increases demand for a more permanent installation in future years.

    Busch Gardens Tampa: General Discussion

    Does anyone have a rough idea of what throughput this beast will manage? And subsequently, how long the wait is likely to be this summer?

    Lightwater Valley

    Just reporting what I've heard, but allegedly the boy was conscious when medics arrived and his injuries are not life threating. Hope he makes a full recovery.
