    Insane Coaster Wars (2012 TV Series)

    Hi Alex I have checked all the putlocker links I posted and every single one still works for me. Are you sure you are using the little triangle button to the right which has click to play written under rather than the big one that sits central which is an advert for some other file sharing...

    Your Top Ten Coasters

    My top 10 changes quite a lot from year to year being in the fortunate position of traveling across the world as part of my employment. Having been to a few off the track locations such as South Africa my list has been influenced by some more rare finds. 1. Troy - Toverland : Just about the...

    Insane Coaster Wars (2012 TV Series)

    Hi Adam Yes I could not agree more I had to really grit my teeth through the whole Americanised approach to the show and instead focus just on the visual elements. The show has very OTT American reactions and themes but it was made for the travel channel and as such is there to advertise these...

    Insane Coaster Wars (2012 TV Series)

    Yeah that result shocked me too! I could not believe it.. If the the vote was genuine then I have to say that either that coaster must pack one hell of a punch or the general public really do see coasters in totally different way to enthusiasts. I can understand why they would put him in there...

    Ride Music Poll

    Predictably I went for Hex for most the same reasons as previously explained better by other people ... HOWEVER !! I do put it forward that Hex has an unfair advantage.... Its smell !!! Whenever I hear the soundtrack it does more than just stimulate my hearing senses it also puts me in that...

    Silver Dollar City: General Discussion

    This is the ride that has my interest at the moment. The debate over steel and wood is something I think is an interesting one for enthusiasts but kind of redundant for the general public who will see this as a truly insane example of a wooden coaster.. The whole layout is just crazy and like...
