    I'll be making my television debut and appearing on classic quiz show Countdown! My debut is this Friday (Oct 28th), airing at 2.10pm on Channel 4, and of course available on catch up after. There'll also be a bit of geeky chatter and roller coaster puns, because of course they run with me being a roller coaster enthusiast and turned it into my entire personality (not far wrong tbf). Would be lovely if anyone gave my episodes a watch!

    I've been messing with ChatGPT using it to come up with fictional stories. Here's one based around Theme Park Worldwide; Shawn and Charlotte from Theme Park Worldwide were beyond excited to visit Alton Towers Resort for the first time. They hopped out of their car and immediately started filming their adventure. "Hey everyone, it's Shawn and Charlotte from Theme Park Worldwide and we're here at Alton Towers Resort!" Shawn shouted into the camera. "We've been waiting for this day for so long," Charlotte added. The pair couldn't wait to start their day of rides and …

    I make this topic as something embarrassingly funny happened to me today and I don't think it fits in confessions. What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you, or someone else, in your life? Mine has to be my ringtone going off in History today. Loudly. My ringtone is the Vampire theme song. ? I managed to play it off by saying "that's not my ringtone" and "I have no idea what that was" thankfully it stopped after the first two notes and someone inadvertadly got me out of it by saying "it was probably just a game, like 'count Dracula has given you free something or other" and then my teacher says "or your phone just makes c…

    Inspired by James6's great competition of 2010 Welcome, one and all, to the challenge. In this game, you will be tested on your artistic side, and see how people respond to your fantasmical, splendilious ideas! Brief: You have been assigned a new job at merlin parks, who have recently over-ran other theme park buyers, and now own every theme-park in the UK. Your challenge, is to come up with a new theme/design/vibe of a significant rollercoaster, or space. Each challenge (if this one is successful) will give you 5 areas/rides to choose from, where you then either edit photos of the area, and leave a short description, leave a long description with no phot…

    Hi There! Well, lets give all the Admins, Moderators and the weird Meet Organiser a challenge! The game is simple! Members have to write out the numbers 1 to 100 without a Mod Team writing the number 0. Each member can post one number at a time and can't double post! For Example: Member 1: 1 Member 2: 2 Member 3: 3 Moderator: 0 Now the game would restart! Let's give this a go... 1

    Another excuse to share a bit of music I love and play a little game. I'll post a selection of videos which are clues to or associated with another track, you guess what that track is by posting a video of the one you think it is. Get it right and have a go yourself. Or I'll do another one if you can't be arsed. Does that make sense? There should only be one track that fits. So... ... go!

    Listening to music lately, I've really come to notice how ridiculous, odd, and obvious some of the lyrics are. Post some of the stupidest, obvious and misheard music lyrics you've heard here, and let's just see how odd the world of song writing is I'll start: This is a song by Scooter, can't remember the song's name though: It's not a bird, it's not a plane. It must be Dave, who's on the train.

    Ding dong, ding dong, a new game has been waited for too long In each ride, there has to be an entrance otherwise they cannot run it. But if you assign too many entrances to a single ride, the ride will not work anymore. So make sure you assign the entrances correctly, as so Hyperia ST 2 (main entrance and golden goddess entrance) Stealth ST 1 (it is a wheel only) Saw ST 0 (if you go in you will be got so it can't be an entrance) Once all rides have been added, the game will be over if the number of entrances equals the number of dings coming to dong in the next few years. The rules are nobod…
